"In the spring, summer and fall,
there are many crops for pasturing
hogs, but during the winter the crops
to select from are limited. On almost
every farm the production and keep
ing of hogs in winter is expensive. and
generally it is not profitable for the
reason that large quantities of corn
are fed without products of green
crops. More winter grazing is need
ed, for which many crops are adapted.
The most reliable are, however, rape,
rye, oats, wheat and barley. 1t is not
too late to plant these crops and in
most sections of the South this is the
best season.
"For grazing purposes these pastur-
ing crops for hogs should be sown on
specially we'll drained and prepared
land that is either rich or has receiv-
ed a liberal application of manure.
Good winter pasturage is not obtain
ed except on the best-drained lands.
''The seeding should be heavy to in
sure a thorough planting. The young
plants will grow slowly in the winter
and many plants will be needed to fur
nish plenty of pasture. Crimson clio
yer will do well with rape, rye, oats,
wheat and barley and will mean an
improvement on the land"

FARM HOME BURNED
Dwelling on the J. r. Thomas Land
in Liscomb Township Partly De-
stroyed by Fire Of Unknown Origin
Damage $1,000, Partly Insured.

Fire of mysterious origin partly de-
stroyed the dwelling on the j. r.
Thomas farm, in the North Star neigh
borhood of Liscomb township early
Tuesday afternoon. The farm is occu-
pied by Charles Brown. The damage to
the building and contents is thought to
be about $1,000, partly covered by in
sarance.
The fire broke out in the summer
kitchen that has not been used for sew
eral years. Mr.. Brown was hauling
grain to Conrad, and was on his way
home when he saw the smoke, but
thought it was from a tractor engine
travelling along the road. AS he came
nearer home he found the house to be
on fire. Neighbors who were summoned
at once helped put out the fire before
it had burned more than half Of the
dwelling.
Mr.. Brown believes the fire must
have been set by some one, as there
was nothing in the summer kitchen to
ignite a blaze. This is the second time
in three years that the dwelling has
caught fire. The last time 1t was partly
burned.
