The most successful poultrymen

Bugs and worms supply the animal
food. and seeds and other vegetable

So essential Is animal matter In the

PROPER FEED FOR THE COLT
Something More Than Mere Filling Is

Don't Use the Whip.
CBy MAY PE1NrNER.)

A young and growing animal re-

It is much easier and cheaper to
put two years growth on a colt the
first year Of its age than it is to

in two or three years. A good growth
the first year OF colts life costs less
than at any other age and is twice
as valuable to the breeder-a fact
that is too often ignored. Spare the

In training the colt do not use the

and a clean, dry bed
Don't neglect the shoeing; 1t Is
vital on slippery roads or pavements;
nor the blanket in cold weather, when
the colt is standing out Don't over

We believe that down in the heart OF
every man is some kindness and

Too many poultry raisers neglect
the cookerels, when In reality they
may be made very profitable, Many
persons do not knew what to do with
them, and they grow up without much
care and are marketed when Ia baor

The birds should be kept ne quiet

When they are three months old
they will begin to grow very rapidly
under this method OF feeding and are
soon ready for the market. Their
flesh is Arm. but not hard and dry as

Many poultrymen use small coops

GARDEN and
FARM NOTES

Rush the plowing.
Prepare for the fall rains
The onion thrips is a bad pest.
Slack fence wire is slack farming.
Rhubarb is an easy crop to grow.
The crop Of potato bugs was light
this year.
Potatoes infested with rot are
poor holding proposition.
Joint grass may be killed out IN the
beet fields by clean cultivation.
AS a rule. We 90 not make as good
use Of our pasture lands as we might.
Il is important that an alfalfa reld
where seed is grown be free of weeds.
Il will pay to batten the cracks in
the barn before coming Of cold
weather.
The state and county agricultural
fairs are Of vslue to every farmer in
the country.
II the pasture is not available. silaEe
or a good soiling crop win be abso-
lutely Indispensable.
Before you I'LL your stave silo Il
should be painted on the inside with
coal tar thlnned with gasoline.
Improvement In the quality and con.
dition OF wheat is not the only beneht
derived from stacking the crop.
Farmers who do not have siloS
should not let large percentage Of
the corn crops value go to waste.
The potato digger works best in a
loose, mellow soil and the ground
should be free Of stone and stumps
The outing OF an alfalfa seed crop
Is usually done with an ordinary
mover. which may or may not have
punching attachment A
One OF the first things the farmer
needs 10 look after Is water-tight
stalls and cutters and the use of
enough bedding TO absorb all the
liquids.

rn Avoid ths Runty pIa.

Runty pigs stand a poor show nt
the feeding trough with a bunch O.
their husky brothers and sisters. As
they are crowded out OF place natur
ally they do not get enough TO eat to
keep them growing a-a they stay
runty.
A trough arranged with v-shaped
partitions set strongly IN the trough,
would give tho littls fellows en equal
show with the big ones. and the
weaker, ones could get their share Ct
food. A handy man can mako such
a trough arrangement n an hour CT

would more than pny for his trouble.

~HoGGING OFF" is PRACTICAL
No Better Way to Fstten Swine With
Profit to Owner Than to Turn
Them Loose In Field.

There Is no better way to fatten
hogs with profit to the owner, than
TO turn them loose In the cornield
and let them pick the corn them
selves. This is what is called hog
ging of corn"
II has been found in experiments
by the Minnesota Experiment station
and by practical farmers in all parts
of the state. writes A. R. Wilson, su-
perintendent OF the Minnesota Farm
ers' institute, that this method OF
fattening hogs is a profitable one.
Every farmer who has tried It agrees
that 1t is an economical method Of
fattening pork. The time required to
husk and crib corn is saved. Not only
that, but the hogs get the corn when
1t is fresh and more relished. No
wonder. then, the station found that
more pounds Of pork could be made
from bushel of corn by "hogging
OF" than by eating husked corn.
All that is necessary to make the
plan a feasible one is to obtain
enough fencing to inclose a small
area of corn 1t is not advisable
to give the hogs a large field to run
In at the outset. There will be too
large a waste. Twenty pigs Weighing
100 pounds each, or their equivalent.
should not be allowed to run on more
than an acre at time. On the aver
age, an acre of corn should last three
pigs from two to three weeks.
Hogs may be confined in the field
as long as weather is suitable They
should not be turned in until the corn
has ripened. Farmers should not
hesitate to try this method of pork
production, for 1t has been found en-
tirely practical.
