This so and 90-cent corn that we

the hogs should be taken out of the

Better and Grow

As soon as the sex can be deter
mined, 1t is well to put the pullets by
themselves. They will grow faster
and do better. In fact, they should be
fed differently from the cockerels, for
you will want to get them in shape for
early egg production.
Now. 1t is not we'll to force them
prematurely into egg production. but
it is best to get them in condition 30
that they will begin to lay during the
fall. This Is the harvest time, for It
is then that you will get the highest
prices paid for eggs. If you have a
nice lot of pullets that are laying dur
ing the fall and early winter. you will
get splendid returns from them.
These pullets, as soon as separated.
should be given a clean house and
kept free from lice. If you find when
making the division that some of them
have lice, it should be well to powder
them and put them all in small
house, where you can attend to them
before putting them In their regular
quarters. Feed plenty Of bran and

Emily kept her word during the

equal to any ration that has ever been
devised. Rape sown at this time in the
year will come on in plenty OF time to
make splendid fall pasture for the
hogs. 1t will serve to get them In the
best possible condition for the heavy
corn feeding that comes a little later
in the year.
1t is not too late yet for the north
ern farmer to plant pumpkins to be
used as hog feed in the fall This is a
feed that can be raised at very
little cost, and yet will prove very
valuable In the autumn, especially
when pastures are short. | always
plant large number of pumpkins in
the corn fields at the time when the
corn is "laid by"
Follow up this last cultivation by
planting few hundred pumpkins in
hills. and you will have a good many
wagon loads of pumpkins that will
come in very handy when the first
hogs are put In the fattening pens.
The pumpkins that are grown down
in the corn fields shade will not be as
big or as yellow as those that are
grown Mt the edge of the field. but
they will be more than worth the
trouble of hauling them and feeding
them. They help the hog, the shoat
that is just being started on heavy
ration, over the period from pasture
to grain feed.
Where the corn field is ''hogged
down." as sometimes done, the pump
kins scattered through 1t will serve as
a fine change from the corn itself. and
will give the porkers something sue
culent. Piled up in the barn sheds or
granery shelter, out of immediate
danger of frost, the pumpkins will
usually escape freezing till they are
! fed away.
