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

As a general thing on the average
farm too much time is used in feed
ing and caring for hogs. Unnecessar-
fly slow and tedious methods are en-
ployed, whereas shorter cuts in feed
ing than those praotced 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
full use OF pasture and crops that may
be harvested by the hogs, and thus
reduce the number of hours required
TO care for the animals and at the
same time save labor, says the Iowa
Homestead.
Where one is feeding many hogs 1t
frequently is 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 80 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 is a wasteful
method, while beating up the big ones
while the smaller ones eat is not
conducive to gains In either the old
or young, 1t is always well in feed
ing hogs to sort according to size and
limit the number to twenty or thirty
in feeding place.

Plan to FooI 81. Peter.

A group of men were discussing
their probable chances of entering the
heavenly gate. Some we're extolling
their virtues and religious zeal, and

Several we're willing to take chances
when the situation presented itself.
One said he had his plan mapped
out, and, when pressed for details,
