LITTLE PIGS May

Milk IL more digestible for little
pigs than any other food. They should
not have any coarse feeds at first.
When they are two weeks old they
may have a little shelled corn and
some slop i'm trough by themselves.
They should have plenty of trough

kept in good growing condition should
have good pasture and some grain

ture Of one part Of corn and two parts
of shorts at the rate Of four and q
half to I'VE pounds o. day per 100
pounds weight viii make good, cheap
pork az On astonishing rate.
When the pig is five to seven
menths old he is ready to fatten and
finish. For this purpose, snapped ear
corn and water are second to no other
feeds, provided you ere not going to
feed longer than two months. a c.
ment feeding floor is very desirable
since 1t can be kept clean and does
away with the danger Of the pigs
taking up dirt and worms with their
feed Pigs 20 treated should fetch the
top market price at seven to ten

lime WORKS WONDERS
IN Maryland SOIL
Makes Possible An Increased Yield OF
TWO Barrels Fer Acre.


For the past six years Illinois farm
ers, under the direction Of their Agrt.
cultural College have been applying
the remarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station, the results of which
were published in 1906. Experiments
covering twelve years showed that the
difference in yield between land un.
timed and land treated with lime car.
Donate or ground shells was in an
average OF four corn crops, five bar
rels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlimed land and any
other form of lime used was three bar
rels, in four crops of corn or an aver
age increase or from three-fourths to
one and a quarter barrels Of corn per
acre year So far an investment OF
two to three dollars an acre the return
per year was 81 to Sc and for four
crops fol- the same investment In lime,
SIS to $24 These results are obtain
able on most unlimed soils of South
ern Maryland and would mean an in
crease in income to the average farm
of 5000 to $500 year as the case
might be. If only one-fourth of the
cultivated lands OF Maryland showed
On similar response 10 the use or lime
1t would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms Of over five millions Of dollars.
Such results would certainly justify
the investment Of $4,000 In soil in-
vestigations g. proposed by the Gov
ernor in his message to the Legisla-
ture.

that the cool climate Northern seed is
grown in accounts for its superiority
over home grown seed. So the good
results from Garrett County seed are
probably due to the cooler climate Az
Is grown in. There is no good reason
why farmers living in the mountain
GUS districts of Maryland should not
supply the Eastern and tidewateI
counties with better seed than can be
grown in Maine. This could, OF course,
best Dc done by concerns or associa-
lions that could handle the potato seed
in carload lots and keep Maryland
money in the State.
