PROPER FEED FOR THE COLT
Something More Than Mere Filling ls
Required by Young Animal
Don't Use the Whip.
(By MAY PE1NTNER.)

A young and growing animal re-
quires something more than mere
filling. 1t must have nutritious and
rissue-building, blood-making food.
1t is much easier and cheaper to
put two years growth on colt the
first year OF its age than it y to
make up for a years loss of growth
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
feed and spoil the colt is surely true.
In training the colt do not use the
whip simply because you have 1t. It
is very poor driver who makes a
blow the starting signal. See that
there Is feed and water In abundance
and 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
load nor let the colt stand In the
sun, nor where water drops on him.
We believe that down in the heart Of
every man is some kindness and
sense Of Justice.

"HoGGING OFF, is PRACTICAL
No Better Way to Fatten Swine With
Profit to Owner Than 10 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 cornheld
and let them pick the corn them
selves This is what Is called hog
ging of corn
1t has been found in experiments
by the Minnesota Experiment station
and by practical farmers in all parts
OF the state, writes a. r. Wilson, SUI
perintendent of the Minnesota Farm
ers' institute, that this method OF
fattening hogs is a profitable one,
Every farmer who has tried 1t 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
off, = than by eating husked corn.
All that is necessary to make the
plan 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 It has been found en-
tirely practical.

Runty pigs stand poor show at

their husky brothers and sisters. AS
they are crowded out Of place natur-

keep them growing and they stay

A trough arranged with V-shaped
partitions set strongly in the trough,
would give the little fellows an equal

weaker ones could get their share Of

trough arrangement in an hour or

would more than pay for his trouble.
