EFFECT OF FLOWING

of wheat. AS an average for five sea

termining the economy Of grains. 1t
has been shown at different stations
that the best forage crops are little
more than a maintenance ration.
IL gains are to be made, then, 1t Is
necessary to feed some grain in add
tion to the forage. Experiments indi-
cate that the greatest economy of
grain through the use Of forage is OBJ
tanned when one and one-half to two
pounds of grain are fed daily for each
100 pounds of live weight. The best
general rule is to feed enough grain
to cause the hogs to make a daily
grain of three-fourths Of a pound for
each 100 pounds of live weight.
Where alfalfa can be grown success
fully there is probably no crop that
will give better results for swine feed

during the grazing season, from ten
to twenty shoats. The important point
to be observed Is not to pasture too
closely. Best results are obtained by

HOE IS MOST HANDY
OF FARM IMPLEMEN
Most Useful Tool in Equipment OF
Gardener or Farmer-ShOuId
Be Kept Sharp.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNEo

So many people have horror OF
using a hoe. 1t is the most comfort
able implement to be found In the
equipment of a gardener or farmer,
and it is handy to use for so many
purposes that one cannot get along
without IT,
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe"
came into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleas
ant implement with which to work
The good gardener will keep his ia
vorite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. II is impossible to grind a hoe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side OF the blade
when it is in use In order to make
the hoe bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade Then keep it bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing is not much like hard work.
In hoeing long slow movement
should be made, If the soil is in good
condition Simply "scufling" half an
inch Of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds and one can go over lot Of
ground in one day If the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With a sharp hoe one can cut
thistles, dock, dandelions and other
noxious weeds with quickness, dis
patch and ease. 1t is light to handle,
easy to use and more effective than
any other implement for many pur-
poses.
In choosing a hoe select one the
blade of which lies not quite fat on
che floor when you are standing erect
with the hoe handle extending from
your hand when in working position to
the floor The heel of the hoe should
not quite touch the floor from this
position.
Such hoe will bite into the soil
easily. when 1t is bright and sharp
and will work smoothly and effectively
Sharpen the hoe as soon as it gets
noticeably dull This will be hard on
the hoe, but 1t saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry a small fat file In
your hip pocket and do not allow a
nick to stay in the hoe a minute
after 1t is made.
