USEFUL HINTS ON
FEEDING THE HOGS
Animals Should Be Separated
According to Size-Some La
bor-Saving Schemes.

AS general thing, on the average
farm too much time is used in feed
ing and caring for hogs. Unnecessar-
ily slow and tedious methods are en-
ployed whereas shorter cuts in feed
ing than those practiced at present
would produce equally good results
either by the use of horse labor, by
the Encouragement of the feeding
yards and troughs. by the more care
tul use of pasture and crops that may
be harvested by the hogs, and thus
reduce the number of hours required
70 care for the animals and at the
same time save labor, says the Iowa
Homestead.
Where one is feeding many hogs it
frequently is a labor saver to use a
horse in transporting swill, water and
feed directly from the tank and bin to
The pens, yards or field in which the
animals are kept Wide alley hogs
houses make possible using the one
horse truck, not alone for hauling feed
In, but for hauling out the manure
and thereby keeping the surroundings
clean and sanitary.
There are few who have taken the
trouble to separate the shoats accord
ing to size SO that they could be fed
more easily and satisfactorily. Many
prefer to feed hogs of all sizes to-
gether, either continuing the feeding
until all are full or else wasting time
chasing the larger ones away until
The smaller ones are fed. Feeding all
the animals will hold ia wastefu-

conducive to gains in either the old
or young. 1t is always well in feed.

TREATMENT FOR HARD SOILS
Where Land Is Difficult TO Work II
Should Receive Careful Attention
One Good Method.

Often the different kinds of soils are
found on the same farm and the best
results cannot be obtained. as far as
crop returns are concerned. by a
uniform method OF cultivation and
irrigation. The soil that is hard and
difficult to work should receive most
careful attention. not only from the
standpoint of cultivation. but also in
the method of irrigation.
1t is not always profitable to at
tempt perennial crop on soil that
is hard to work and irrigate-the
yield is usually low, due to the re-
sistance to root development and
scarcity OF plant food: also to the
shallow depth OF the irrigation which
In turn causes the root system to de-
velop near the surface and make the
crop susceptible to drought.
Deep blowing, with a liberal appli-
cation of manure or straw, will be
found beneficial. The decay OF the
organic matter will leave the soil
more or less porous and allow the
moisture access TO the lower soil;
root development will be more COM
plete and the crop will stand drought
better.
The cultivation OF sugar beets on
hard soil will, IL properly handled.
bring the field eventually into proper
filth. Furrow irrigation will not al
low the soil to bake; deep cultivation
OF the crop will be found beneficial;
the tap root OF the beet will have a
tendency TO open up the soil below
the plow sole; the decayed tap root
after harvest will leave the lower
soil more or less porous. and hence
increase the capacity OF the soil for
the storage OF moisture.

EXPERIMENT WITH PIG FEED
Results Of Tests Made at Kansas
Agricultural College Employing
Work Of Three Years.

Weanling pigs weighing about forty
five pounds at the Kansas Agricultural
college were fed: One lot on corn
alone and another on corn and alfalfa
pasture, in summer. and alfalfa hay in
winter. President Waters showed the
results of the experiments. embodying
the work of three years, with charts
and photographs and lantern slides.
In every case the pigs were put into
the experiment at weaving time
weighing about forty-five pounds, be-
ing March pigs.
The experiment began about July /.
In each experiment one group fed on
corn alone in a dry lot did not thrive.
At least one pig died each year OF
what the veterinary experts declared
to be starvation, notwithstanding the
fact that they were offered all the
corn they would eat. When pigs on
other rations were weighing $50
pounds each and we're fat andeready
for market, the pigs on corn alone.
were thin and ecrawny, weighing
forty or sixty pounds.

PACKING HONEY IN
PRINTED CARTONS
Neat Little ReceptacIes Are of
Great Convenience to Dealer
and Consumer.

The best grades of comb honey
should be put on the market in neatly
printed cartons. They are a great
convenience for the dealer, they serve
to keep honey free from dust. and
also prevent marring the delicate
comb when handling from the grocery
to the consumers kitchen.
Cartons are SO inexpensive and so
useful that it is surprising that more
of the best comb honey is not put ON
the market in them.
OF course, those using cartons
should be very careful to see that only
the most perfect sections of honey ara
put into them. A honey purchaser
will seldom buy cartoned honey the
second time II she has been once de.
ceived-by getting. for instance. a
partly filled comb in a carton; or. per.
haps, a dirty-looking comb
Cartons should be used more extern.
sively than they are now, as they also
furnish an added opportunity to send
printed honey information with each
comb of honey sold.
