Stockholm. June 2. Swedish aths
letes will go TO Budapest next mouth
TO accept the challenge of the Hungars
ians for a track and field meet, includ-
ing all the events of the Olympic pro-
gram. The date set is June 81 10 IS.
The original challenge for a meet at
this time came from the German Ath-
letic Federation, but the Germans have,
lately advised the Swedish authorities
that they will not be in form for inter-
national competition before next year.
There was keen disappointment here.
over this news, as the athletic progress
OF Germany has been watched with
great interest, and a German Swedish
meet doubtless would have proved an
exciting affair. Sweden looked about
for another opponent. so that all OF
the preliminary work might not be
wasted. and Hungary has now consent
ed to take Germany's place.

EXCELLENT NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All of Leading Breeds Are Adapt
ed to Economical Production
Keep Animals Healthy.

The use Of corn In hog-feeding
should be tempered with judgment
The corn and hog crop go hand in
hand. A man starting in farming in
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
Of getting a large proportion Of its
feed from grass.
We are apt to make the mistake OF
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes it so efficiently and eco
nomically.
No breed enjoys any marked prefer
ence in the markets Of the country.
al Of the leading breeds are adapted
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential is to have good, Wig
orous, healthy, breeding animals.
Sunbeams, crude carbolic acid and
lime are the best and cheapest disin-
fectant-
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently and a
lump of quicklime dropped in the bar
rels occasionally will assist in keeping
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management OF e
herd of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat-
ura1. Both are contagious
If in the fight between health and
disease we give nature little encour-
agement We will come OF victorious.
1t is, after all, more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves in that condi-
ton.
We should keep the hogs close COM
pany, study their habits and their re-
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this, humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud is not good thing to feed pigs
in, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible,
A short nose is good, but a long
body is better.

One Of the chief disadvantages that
most cattle feeders have to contend
with is the purchase OF feeders from
some remote district. If it is possible
to select a small bunch Of good quail
ity, uniform-sized feeders of about the
same age in his own neighborhood
they will make a more profitable lot
of feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class Of feeders that
come from some remote district
Many failures among feeders can
be traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with the ef-
fects OF acclimation and domestication
of the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started OF in good condi-
ton
Then again some farmers come to
the conclusion that it is improbable
TO keep a herd Of cows and believe
that they can buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford to
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake, and many who have
sold their COW herds are now develop
ing new herds for the purpose OF
raising their own feeders.
