DOESN'T ROOT FOR MISCHIEF
Hog Is Looking for AlkaIi Found in
Soil to Aid in Dieestion-Tank-
age Is Excellent.

A great many think a hog roots just
for mischief. That is not the case.
The animal roots for alkali, which it
finds in the soil and which aids him in
digestion. Nature helps him out in
this way when man is foolish enough
to neglect him.
In the amount of carbonaceous feed
that we feed the hogs there is toe lit
tie phosphate for them.
Anything that we throw to the pigs,
whether lime, bones or oysted shells
seem to be greatly relished and seems
to be a great help to them in digesting
their other feed and promoting their
general health.
Tankage is an excellent feed to pre-
vent the sows and pigs from having
an apparent craving for uncommon
feeds like bones, old leather and also
killing chickens.
1t also aids them in getting more
nutriment out of their other feed by
keeping them in a healthy condition.

PRODUCTION OF PORK
Hog Can Always Be Sold for
Cash at Nearby Markets.
Breed and Color Are Not Factors In
Determining Price When Sold to
Butcher-Pure-Bred Animals
Are Admittedly Superior.
CBy W. A. LINKLATER.)


Not only do hogs reproduce rapidly
and mature early, but their gains in
live weight are secured on less feed
than in the case of cattle or sheep.
In addition to giving good returns for
feed and care, the finished hog always
has a money value. No matter how
hard the times may be, the hog al,
ways can be sold for cash at nearby
livestock markets. These markets pay
a premium for well fattened hogs OF
good quality. Thin hogs and pigs
weighing under $50 pounds are not
wanted by butchers or packers and,
consequently, sell at considerably less
per pound than we'll finished, heavier
hogs. The per cent of pork of good
quality a hog will dress out deter
mines its value.
Breed and color are not factors in
determining market price to any eX
tent, but breed and color may be fac
tors of Importance to hog raisers.
In the matter of cheap pork produc
ton, one breed can not be said tc
have any advantage over the others

GRADING IS MOST IMPORTANT
Work Should BE Started In Field With
Growing Of crops-Carefui Guilt
walton Lessons CulIs.

The most important operation in
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading. The work
should be started in the field with the
growing of the crops. Careful cultiva-
ton means fewer culls and less ex'
pense for sorting and grading. Uni.
formity is the principal requirement
70 be considered in grading and
packing. Growers should not attempt
to handle and market their crops un-
less they pack them In uniform pack
ages and grade them SO that they will
present a uniform quality and general
appearance. Produce put up in good
shape will appear to the best advan-
tage at the time of sale. Markets are
seldom ~oversupplied with good fruits
and vegetables; it is the unevenly rip
ened, poorly developed, badly selected
produce that Injuries the sale of the
better products. Produce Of all kinds
should be sorted so that in each pack
age each specimen is as nearly like
the others as is practicable. The eff
ficient grader has in mind the appear
ance of the whole package, and not
the individual specimens. This work
can seldom be overdone, for the more
rigid the grading the greater will be
the profits at the time of sale.

Portable Summer and Winter Hog
House.

Jail to show am breed uniformly supe-
gains. Pure bred and high grade
hogs are, however, admittedly superior
to scrub hogs in this respect.
A snort description of three most
popular breeds of hogs may be OF as
sistance to farmers who are pur-
chasing hogs.
The Poland China is a highly de-
yeloped type Of fat hog, early matur-
ing, medium prolific, usually of good
quality and disposition. In selecting
breeding stock of this breed special
effort should be made to secure pigs
from large filters, the greater per
cent of which have been raised.
The Duroc Jerseys belong to the fat
hog type. They are prolific, medium
early maturing, medium as to quality
and disposition. In selecting breed
ing stock Of this breed, select pigs
that are low set, deep bodied and with
plenty of width Of body.
Berkshires are prolific, of good
quality, medium early maturing. and
medium quiet and mild in disposition.
The young pigs are rather of bacon
type, but we'll fed and finished they
mature into a good type of fat hog.
1t is important to select breeding
stock comparatively low-set and show
ing good width Of middle and hind
quarters, and mild disposition.
Good blood is as important in the
case of hogs as in the case of any
other class of livestock, and, consid-
ering the small investment necessary
or more pure bred sows, it will seem
sound business wisdom for every hog
raiser to breed only pure bred or high
grade hogs. The breed chosen is Of
secondary Importance to the type and
quality of the individuals.
Young pigs make the most econom-
ical gains while they are young. The
mothers should be fed we'll before the
pigs are weaned and the young pigs
be given s. liberal ration that will
produce rapid growth IS DON as they
are weaned- 1t takes more grain to
make gains as the pig gets older, SO
that it is important that pigs be fin
ished for market as early as possible.
Regardless cs the breed, hogs, like
other classes of stock, thrive best
when they are comfortable. They
need shade and plenty Of clean water
in the summer, and dry, warm sleep
ing quarters in the winter.

HADN'T TOLD ANY UNTRUTH
Colored Witness Simply Stated a Fact,
Though II Was Not the lnfor-

apparently about forty years old, was
called as a witness in an assault case
before a police judge. She said: 81
am e~ighty-four and / live down near
the river, and this is what / saw when
the fight took place"
She then gave her account of the
assault.

for the defense asked her when and
where she was born and she replied

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true n~ourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into a o ~digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the outer-coat Of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat Of the wheat darkens the -four
and Is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-balanced building Of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.
II have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man, "for s years and feel as
good and am stronger than / was ten
years ago.
Among my customers I meet a man
every day who is we'll along in years
