BOAR NEEDS GOOD ATTENTION
Pasture Not Only Saves Feed But VIII
Also Prove Excellent Conditioner
Don't Overfeed.

The boar needs pasture as well as
do the other hogs or the other stock.
Pasture will not only save feed but
will also be a good conditioner. IL
you keep a boar In a small pen, it is
always muddy or dusty and then II he
Is poorly fed In this pen he cannot do
his best, and the pigs will be disap-
pointment. On the other hand, the
boar can be fed too much, but the
enough.
1t Is often thought that the boar Is
simply bill of expense and that he
does not need much feed Such being
the case. he Is fed little just because
he must be kept alive, but this feed
is the scantiest amount that can be
given and the handiest feed-nearfy
always just few ears of corn. He
needs something stronger than ear
corn. IL may cost a little more, but
will prove money well spent. The
feed should be rich in proteids. which
would call for shorts, tankage, oil
meal. cowpeas, clover, alfalfa and such
feeds. according to Roy Coleman in
the Farmers Review. When fed on
such ration he can produce larger
litters and stronger pigs than when
poorly fed.
The young boar should not be fed
too heavily. If he is overfed 1t viii
make him go down in the feet. 1t will
also cause him to wrinkle more when
he becomes old. It is hard to grow
a prize pig into a prize boar But If
he has not been overdone as a pig he
can be made TO develop into q good.

PREPARE STOCK FOR MARKET
Experience Has Shown That There Is
More Growth the First Year Than
Second-keep Pushing.

In preparing stock for the market,
too much stress cannot be laid upon
rapid development of the animal Ex-
perience has shown that in proportion
to the food consumed by young ami
mails, there is more growth the first
year than the second, and more the
second year than the third, and with
each increasing year the increase in
weight gets smaller in proportion to
the amount of food consumed, conse-
quently it is very essential that all
young animals be kept thrifty and
growing; especially is this true with
all animals intended for market. This
is seen In the production of baby beef.
which is one of the most profitable
businesses to engage in. A quick
growth, and an early maturity, returns
the best profit among cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry. The intelligent
farmer, in preparing his stock for
market, should always bear in mind
the importance of pushing his stock
from the time they are born until
placed on the market. Every day
should see a gain In weight along the
lines Of profit, yet at the same time
this crowding should not be overdone.
There is danger of injuring animals by
overlooking. especially when young. If,
however, the feed ratione are properly
made, looking toward Just enough and
not too little, or to much, good results
may be expected in the end.
