PROFITABLE WEIGHT OF PIGS
Experiments Prove ConcIusively That
Animal Should Never Be Fed After
Nine Months Old.

Experiments made for the purpose
of determining the economic weight
of a pig show conclusively that he
never should be fed beyond eight or
nine months old. and the largest profit
is found, as a rule, in a eight not ex-
ceeding 200 pounds. What is known
as the food of support, says a writer
il the Farm and Home, plays a very
important part in the profit and loss
OF large weights.
Suppose, as many farmers say, that
pig is not to be killed until he
reaches 300 pounds. He must take
from his food an increasing amount
each day to support or maintain the
weight already gained, or else he
drops back. The experiments indi-
cate that two per cent. Of the live
weight in food must be taken each
day to support that live weight.
If the animal weighs 800 pounds
this amounts to six pounds of food
daily, or over 40 pounds per week,
and as the only profit is the food that
is applied to make new weight, 1t re-
suits that over 40 pounds Of food are
consumed per week from which no
profit whatever is reaped. 1t follows
that the more money can be made
from young hogs killed at medium
weight

OVERFEED HORSES WITH HAY
If Stomach Is Kept Full of Bulky Food
Extra Work Is imposed on
Respiratory System.

Too much hay fed to the farm horse
is an injury and often lessons his
working efficiency, according to the
Oregon experiment station. Every
time a horse initiates his lungs the
stomach is displaced, and if this or
gan is kept full Of bulky food extra
work is imposed on the respiratory
system. Heaves, collie and other forms
of indigestion are often due to this
case There is also a waste that
should be conserved.
A horse weighing 1000 pounds will
do more work and keep in better
health on Is pounds of hay daily than
on 20 pounds. Feed him ten pounds
at night and five pounds in the morn
ing and he will perform more labor
with greater ease than he would if
hay were kept before him all the
time.
A horse weighing 1900 to 1900
pounds does not need more than 20
pounds of hay day, and the rest Of
his instrument should be grain.

LIVESTOCK
GSNOTESN

Pigs should be changed to fresh pas
ture frequently.
Now is the time to get cheap gains
on the spring pigs.
Be sure there is plenty of fresh wa
ter in every pasture.
Look out for the ewes. Good ewes
are good property, always.
Live stock on the farm will turn un-
marketable feeds into money.
Every care should be taken to get
the lambs to start eating grain.
II you want to have peace of mind,
fix up the fence around the sheep
pasture.
There is nothing like cement hog
wallow to keep the hogs. contented and
comfortable In hot weather.
II young pigs become blistered by
the hot sun, grease their backs and
put them In shady pasture.
Inbreeding Is dangerous with all
types of farm stock. 1t always pays
to get new and vigorous blood.
II you are buying a horse, get him
OF. a slow tr0t. Then, If ever, he will
show any lameness he may have.
A close watch should be kept upon
all ewes with young lambs, to avoid
lose by -setbacks in lamb growth.

GARDEN THE HOMES INDEX
II It Is Beautified the Owner Must Get
More Enjoyment Out of
Living.

The garden is an index to the value
Of any home-granting that the owner
lives on the place and expects to re-
main there permanently. Few people
refrain from all ornamental gardening
because of mere cost-yet those few
are in evidence. To most of us there
is something more than mere COM
MERGE and the commercial effort In
life. The man who beauties his gar
den and his surroundings generally
must in the very nature Of things get
far more enjoyment out of living than
the man who has mo time for such
things" The latter see nothing to
admire in trees and flowers, but cen
ters his entire energy on pursuit Of
wealth. We have too many Of this
latter class in Los Angeles or they
would note the barrenness Of our
streets and make well-nigh universal
the demand for street trees, munich
pally planted and controlled. Not to
make use of the gifts of nature SO
generously allotted to all is deliber-
ately to spurn proffered aid.

At Cross-Purposes.

She sat for a moment silent, gazing
up the street, but breathing heavily.
This was not the reception she had an
ticipated, and it was difficult to deter
mine swiftly what course she had best
pursue Realizing the hold she had
once had upon this man, it had never
occurred to her mind that her inf1u-
ence had altogether departed. Her
beauty had never failed before to win
such victory, and she had trusted now
in reviving the old smouldering pas
sion into sudden flame. Yet already
she comprehended the utter useless
ness of such an eXpectation-there
was no smouldering passion to be
famed; his Indifference was not as
sumed. The discovery angered her,
but long experience had brought con-
troll; 1t required only moment to re-
adjust her faculties, to keep the bitter
ness out of her voice. When she again
faced him it was to speak quietly,
with convincing earnestness.
YES, l realize 1t is too late for ex-
plantations" she acknowledged, so l
will attempt none. l wished you to
know, however, that I did not desert
you for that man. This was my prin-
cipal purpose in sending for you"
do you know where he is?"
She hesitated ever so slightly, yet
he, watching. her closely, noted 1t.
NO; at the close of the war he
came home, commanding the regiment
which should have been yours. Within
three months he had converted all the
family property into cash and depart
ed. There was rumor that he was
engaged in the cattle business"
you actually expect me to believe
all this-that you knew nothing of his
plans-were not, indeed, part Of
them"
81 am Indifferent as to what you be-
lieve," she replied coldly. But you are
ungentlemanly to express yourself so
freely. Why should you say that?"
