The hog lot has much to do about
determining the lot Of hogs.
Long legs In hog ought to bar him
as breeder. Porkers, not racers, are
what most of us are after.
Meat, and lots of it, in now and then
a mess Of boiled and mashed pota-
toes.
Little soft new corn at first. It's
hot stuff. May give the porkers the
stomach ache.
doubt If any man ever had to fight
hog cholera who kept his premises
clean and fed right up to the mark.
Work off some of the shoats and
stop the cost Of feeding.
Get just as near to the man who
eats your meat as you can when 1t
comes to selling time.
A few sweet apples now and then
are fine for an appetizer. Not much
meat In them, but they help to keep
the system in good order, and so are
Of value as an article of diet.
Hogs do not need much salt. A lit
tie goes a good ways. But be sure
they have that little.
Throw now and then charred stick
of wood over in the yard for the hogs
to work at. A good tonic. Keeps the
stomach in good order.
If you feed sour milk, stick to sour
milk, not change back and forth from
sweet to sour.
Somehow it seems to most of us
that 1t Is big waste Of time to do
much thinking about the food we give
a hog. Anything will go. That is one
reason why we never have anything

PAYS TO MASTER
THE YOUNG COLTS
Easier to Keep Youngsters From
Learning Bad Tricks Than to
Break Them of Them.

The earlier a colt Is accustomed to
harness the better broken the animal
will be after it comes time for him to
do some light work. 1t is easier TO
keep colts from learning bad tricks
than to break them of them. For thi
reason have every strap and rope
used by the colt so strong that there
Is no danger of a break. Once a colt
finds out that he can get away from
the halter or other part of the har-
ness, there will be trouble. perhaps
for all time.
1t is not necessary to make idle
pets of young foals, but they should
be taught to lead at the halter, stand
tied in their stalls, as we'll as display
manners in the stable, wisely sug-
gests a horse trainer, and he adds:
"a wild, tricky foal, unbroken when
young, makes a double task when
subjected to the break harness as
three-year-old. Their first lessons are
never forgotten, and it pays to master
them when young.

to brag of in the way OF hogs. TO
win, we must do some thinking, some
planning and some putting into effect
There will be better hogs a few
years hence than there are now. Be
fore that day comes, there will have
to be better men.
Breed to the best male you can
find. It may cost little more. You
will get it all back in the better pigs
you get.
Keep your hogs cool, but don't cool
them in mudhole.
Turn off some of the shoats while
the price Is booming, which is mos'
likely just now. Stop the cost OF
production as soon as you can. That
the way to make money.
Better than a ring in the nose for
the hog that loves to root Is good
chance to root and have good time
Hogs are making money for you when
they are roofing good and lively.
Wheat feed, that is not too coarse,
Is a fine feed for hogs this time OF
the year.
Hog cholera rarely strikes the pen
of the man who keeps his hogs clean.
The disease is a filth trouble.
If your hogs are shut up so they
have no chance to root, dig load OF
sods for them now and then ana
throw them over into the yard. 1t
helps to keep the porkers busy, and
when they are busy they are looking
out for your interests all right.

grades, mongrels and scrubs too often
used at present.
He urges that grade horses replace
scrubs In farm teams. The organiza-
ton of community associations will
greatly facilitate the promotion Of
horse-breeding, and the encourage
ment of the industry may be furthered
by prizes at county fairs for pure
bred stations, mares and colts.
The evil effects which result from
the use Of unusual sires and dams, and
the transmission Of hereditary dis
eases is especially emphasized. 1t
should be easily possible to increase
the value of Wisconsin horses at least
SO per head during the next five
years, the author points out, by the
use of sound stations and mares, and
this would mean an addition Of at
least $7,OOO,O0O to the total value of
