GOOD HINTS FOR
SWINE FEEDING
As Corn Contains Excess of Car
bohydrate Protein Must Be
Given in Other Feeds.

Hogs are not fitted by nature to
subsist entirely on waste products.
They do their best on a clean, we'll
balanced ration. There are, however
some kinds of waste products, such
as apple and potato Feelings, table
scraps, etc., that can be utilized to
good advantage.
In the corn belt corn stands at the
head of hog rations, being the cheap
est and best feed available, writes c.
E. Wallace in the Farm and Home
Feeds rich in protein should be fed
with II, for corn contains an excess Of
carbohydrate. Skim milk, grass and
especially the clovers, are excellent
sources of protein. The young grow
ing pig needs proportionally more
heterogeneous food than mature hogs.
When hogs reach the fattening stage
corn can be fed almost exclusively.
Clean waste scraps of fruit and vege-
tables may be fed with the foregoing
feeds, but it should be borne in mind
that the digestive apparatus of no ami.

Bulls of dairy strains at one year
old, the usual age for exhibiting, do
not fill the eyes with the same effect
of the beef type, so they do not appear
in the prize list and are branded as
inferior accordingly.
In latter years, a great change has
come over the cattle industry. Dairy
ing has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Breeders of pedigreed cattle have
awakened to the fact of a new posi-
ton in the dairy industry. Jersey and
Ayrshire cattle, having long been
bred for dairy cattle, do not come
under the ban already mentioned, but
pedigreed Shorthorns, although there
have always been deep mixers among
them, have been regarded with sus-
picion in. the best dairying districts.
Latterly, the herds of Shorthorn
that were bred on dairy lines have
been pushed very muck to- the 'front.'
COWS of this breed have. appeared at
the dairy shows and havS proven re-
peatedly that the right sort of Short
horns can be first-class dairy cows.
The following are good dairy breeds:
The Jersey is invariably admitted
to be the ideal COW for butter pro-
duction. In all her points she shows

enhanced value of the individual
specimens of fruit
With this method of culture it is
especially desirable that the plants be
started early and transplanted two
or three times before moving to the
field. By moving a square or ball of
undisturbed earth with each, plant
growth is scarcely checked.
We make it practice to remove a
large share of the leaves when trans
planting in the beds and when moving
to the field. This tends to preserve a
balance between root and branch.
largely preventing whiting of stalks
and minimizing check in growth.
Plants moved to the field in this
manner are but little checked in
growth if the ground has been well
fitted and soil moist.
We have moved strong and stocky
plants that were two feet high with no
resultant whiting of either leaves or
stalks.
Such plants should be staked imme.
diately, the plant being tied to the
support below the first cluster. OF

second and third clusters. In tying
allowance must be made for the
growth of the stalk. Three full clus.

With this method plants may be

Cultivation should be frequent, but

seek the surface where the soil warns

she is big in the body, showing plenty
of room for the vital organs and also
capacity for dealing with the full
supply of food, so necessary for a
dairy cow She is an attractive COW
and a good seller.
Islandbred Jersey COWS have an ap
pearance of delicacy but the COWS
bred in the states seem to be quite
able to stand the climate. The Jersey
is occasionally a very heavy mixer,
AS rule she milks reasonably well,
but her strong point is the richness
of the cream.
The Ayrshire is medium-sized COW.
Her strong point is the large average
milk yield Ayrshire milk is not
usually rich in butterfat. 1t is equal
ly serviceable for butter and cheese
making and for milk trade.
The pSint which recommends a milk
for cheese making is the small size
of the fat globules in the milk. When
they are small, as in the Ayrshire
milk, they do not rise quickly so that
they are caught in the curd when 1t
coagulates.
Jersey milk has large, fat globules
which rise quickly, making the milk
unsuitable for cheese making.

In the blanks which life insurance
companies provide their medical exam

appearing later fail to fructify.
With this method nearly every bud
produces a fruit, each specimen be-
ing large and uniform in shape and
coloring.
A dozen large tomatoes in cluster
is common and we have counted 20 to
80 tomatoes in exceptionally large
clusters.
The main point of vantage possess

ness and uniformity, greater freedom
from rot and better coloring Of the

new METHOD OF
TOMATO CULTURE
Entire Strength of Plant Gen.
, tered in Few Fruit Clusters
~, by Good Pruning
(By NJ. n. EDGERTON.)

The new method of tomato culture
consists in combining the growth Of
the plants to a single stalk or vine,
these being trained to stakes.
Pruning should begin as soon as
branches begin to appear, growth be-
ing confined to the main stalk.
In this way, instead of dissipating a
large share of it's strength in an eff
fort toward vine growth, the entire
strength of the plant is centered in a
few fruit clusters.
Under ordinary culture, that is,
where plants are allowed to branch
at will, the first cluster of blossoms
