ence of over 20 years in raising hogs
for the market
Different localities and different
feeds make a great deal more or less
profit in the keep of the hog. Some
feed too long and consume part Of the
profit, while others feed not long
enough or literally enough to make
what they ought to make.
/ run all my hogs on alfalfa from
birth until sold, either for breeders or
for the packer, and as soon as they
weigh 200 pounds each, or about that,
/ sell or kill them.
II you are feeding pure-blooded
hogs Especially if the blood is red)
they will weigh from 175 to 225
pounds each at six or eight months
Of age. think seven months old is
the best age, and the most profitable
hog we can sell.
The younger you sell, the less risk
Of disease, the less trouble, time and
feed il takes. The sooner you sell,
the more room and the better care
for the lext litter.
The cheapest gain is made while
the pig is small A pig weighs about
three pounds at birth. With reason.
able care it viii gain on an average
one-fourth pound a day for the first
10 to 20 days.
So you see it doubles its weight in
IL days, and at 65 cents per bushel
for corn, and $15O for 100 pounds
for shorts the first three pounds Of
gain cost about three and one-fourth
cents per pound, allowing eight pigs
to the litter for each SOW.
Don't try to get the market ready
for your hogs, but get your hogs ready
for the market. Sell them when they
are fat and not before, Keep the kind
that top the market and you will make
money if feed is high.
Registered hogs gain faster, bring
more money for the feeder, and make
more pounds Of meat out Of the grain
fed them than any other animal on
earth.

A device for Harvesting and I'M
Harvesting horses is described and
illustrated in the Iowa Homestead by
]. F. Forest and which he has in use
on his own farm. 1t consists Of 3s-
inch rod threaded and frightened with
burrs and inserted between the joists
above the horse, similar to manure
carrier cable. There are awning pull
leys fastened together in pair so
that one pulley runs on the three
eighths rod, and the other has a rope
run through it with two hooks tied
in so that there is an end Of rope
hanging below each hook. These
hooks are tied in according to the
height of the horse, one hook being
clear up to the pulley and the other
to hook into the hame ring or strap,
pull the other end Of the ropes which
lifts the names clear Of the horse and
hook the other hook in hame ring or
strap. The back pad and breeding
are lifted in the same manner, one
hook to lift the back pad and the
other can be used above the breech-

female, it should, when the time
comes, be bred to pure-bred sire OF
the same breed as the original sire,
and this plan of breeding should be
continued, cross after cross, until five
or six top-crosses of the same pure
draft breed blood having been put on
the progeny is practically pure bred
Of the breed used in its making.
There should never be the slightest
deviation from this plan of breeding.
Had there been in France we would
not have the modern Percherons of
today; and mixed breeding, such as
has characterized American opera
tions, would have absolutely prevent
ed the origination and perpetuation Of
the Clydesdale, Shire, Suffolk or Bel
gian breeds. Selection and some mix
ing in blood had to be followed in the
early origination of these breeds, but
it is no longer necessary and now
would be ruinous. Then, too, the sire
must be sound, and throughout the
entire operation of horse breeding, as
we have seen, adequate feeding must
be the rule

The Horses Hoofs.

If the horses hoofs are hard and
inclined to be shelly" do not let
anybody put oil or grease on them
for this only clogs the hoof material,
which should absorb water instead Of
repelling it. Such hoofs are best
treated by soaking them several
hours together in warm water slight

at night in a pasture where he will
