To Avoid the Runtx PIa.

Runty pigs stand a poor show at
the feeding trough with bunch OF
their husky brothers and sisters. AS
they are crowded out of place natu.
rally they do not get enough to eat
to keep them growing, and they stay
runty.
A trough arranged with V-shaped
partitions set strongly in the trough
would give the little fellows an equal
show with the big ones, and the
weaker ones would get their share OF
food. A handy man can make such
a trough arrangement In an hour or
so, and even the growth Of his pigs
would more than pay for his trouble.

Before declining to patronize any
particular stallion though his blood
lines may be pleasing, the small breed
er who is desirous of raising race win
ners should learn whether the horse
has sired race winning speed or not.
He should also learn whether the an
cestors of the stallion ON both sides
have been successful either as race
winners themselves or as sires or pro-
ducers of uniform race winning speed.
The horse all of whose ancestors for
several generations have been the
most successful In this respect, other
things being equal, is the most likely
to transmit race winning speed.
