Charcoal For Hogs.

Charcoal. ashes and salt help to keep

quite a bit smaller at the bottom than

THE DORSET HORN SHEEP.

Milking Qualities.
The Dorset horn sheep is one of the
oldest of the English breeds. Original
ly it was large. long legged and rather
coarse. and both sexes had horns the
same as they have now. writes +. U

forts We're subsequently made to i'm
prove the breed by mingling the blood
of other races. but without success. 1t
therefore has practically the same ap.
pearauce today as formerly. only it is
more refined. the form being similar to
that OF the Southdown. with added size
and less symmetry.
As can he seen in the accompanying
illustration. the horns OF the ram are
very large and curve spirally forward.
while those Of the W are much light
.er and curve forward and inward rath-
er in front of the eyes. These are not

only owing to their horns they will put
up d hard fight before succumbing.
A flock Of them makes a fine appear

they will shear about the same as the

good a price as that of any of the
English breeds.

in shocked corn will produce as much
beef as Il dollar invested in some other
feed capable of making greater gains

cattle can he fitted for show on this
feed. Even though it does appear
waSteful to some and though it does
not conform to the standards of Il bal
anced ration. it is for practical pur-
poses an excellent feed.
Some feeders may say that such
methods are impractical and wastetul.
yet the fact remains that over 5000
cattle are fed in a single county in
Ohio every winter. and that this meth
cd is followed in nearly every instance.
Moreover, out of their profits these
farmers are paying for land worth $50
an acre which, on account of the great
amount of manure that is returned to
it is becoming even more valuable.
In every case hogs follow the cattle.
When the latter are put on feed a pig
weighing. from 100 to 100 pounds is pat
behind each steer. Smaller pigs do not
do SO well as those of this weight.
When the cattle are weighed out the
hogs are usually ready for market.
Often one is able to fatten two droves
Of hogs with Il single bunch Of steers.
Few kernels are missed. and in almost
every cas- every pound of gain made
by the hogs represents so much clear
profit to the feeder.
We have always been partial to
short feeds Of from ninety to Il hum-
dred days. and for such feeding we
usually aim 10 get cattle which weigh
q thousand pounds or more and which
can be warmed up to an advantage.
Two pounds u day Is an average gain,
though there are many instances where
three pounds have been made. Two
pounds daily will put cattle Of this sort
In fair condition within the hundred
day limit.

The hogs are there to. pick up whit is

give them such a feed at least three
times ii Week. Outside of this 1t is sci.
