SECURING ON RYE PASTURES
Difficulty May Be Treated by use or
Blood Meal, Giving Teaspoonfui
Daily In Feed.

(3y JOHN NJ. EvvARD. Iowa Expert
ment Station)
For the difficulty experienced with
the securing of young pigs upon iresh
green rye pasture, l would advise 'ne'
use of blood meal at the rate OF tea
spoonful twice daily in the feed. With
older hogs weighing $50 to 200 pounds
we have had no trouble with this IN
festival disturbance, but with the very
young pigs weighing from 20 to 80
pounds we have been annoyed con-
siderably by scours.
We are somewhat dubious as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of placing much emphasis
upon rye pasture as forage for pigs
simply because of the extremely loos--
ening tendencies of the green ana
succulent rye. In 1911 We pastureo
thirty pigs upon rye for a period cot
sixty days, and were compelled during
that time to remove four of the pigs
,, and three others were replaced be-
cause of unthriftiness. 1t was quite
remarkable, however, that those pigs
that remained, not showing signs OF
the difficulty, returned excellent prof.
its from the rye.
The present spring we pastured for
ty head of pigs. weighing on the aver
age about 80 pounds. on 8 of an acre
of green rye. Four of these were Ia

CBy c. E. DIBBLE.)

The breeding of good Barred Ply

gagged the minds of profanity more
poultry breeders who strive to pro-
duce high-class birds than the breed
ers of all other varieties of poultry
combined. Not that the Barred Ply

bred, but that they are the most
popular breed, as is shown each year
at the American Poultry shows, where
each secretary reports to the Amer

In the selection of breeding birds it
is of the utmost Importance to select

OLD HERMIT is ILL

Schooley changed SO that the young

The old farmhouse, built in colonial
days, fell into decay under his neglect.
Dust that has been years in collecting

pearances, Asa Schooley never moved

years on the same feathered bed.
When the ticking wore away, he did
not change 1t for one Of nearly q dozen
mattresses In good condition found
stored in an upper room. Nor did he
change the bed coverings, although
mahogany chests and bureaus were
found to be packed full Of fine bed
linens, quilts and spreads.
For Illumination at night the old
man went back to tallow dips, which
he made for himself In an antique

vegetables he could raise on his farm.
How he managed to exist through Sc

Thus the old mans illness was un-
known to neighbors until woman
