and feeding methods are followed.
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 needed.
for which many crops are adapted.
The most reliable are. however, rape.
rye, oats, wheat and barley.
For grazing purposes these pastur-
ing crops for hogs should be sown on
specially well drained and prepared
land that Is either rich or has re
ceived liberal application of ma.
nure Good winter pasturage is not
obtained except ON the bestdrained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy to in
sure thorough planting. The young
plants will grow slowly in the winter
and many plants will be needed to
furnish plenty Of pasture. Crimson
clover will do well with rape, rye, oats,

EXCELLENT FOR SHEEP
ALFALFA ALMOST INOiSPENSA.
Ole TO LIVE STOCK GROWER.
From Comparative Obscurity II Has
Come Into Prominence During Last
Ten or Fifteen Years for
Breeding Animals.
mY Il j kINZERl

NBy IL. j. hlNLEitD
The use Of alfalfa cannot be too
strongly urged with sheep. either the
breeding or fattening stock. AS the
method of farming has become more
intensified and the open range grows
less each year, an acre of alfalfa must
be made TO take the place of many
acres Of range pasture.
Sheep, being ruminants. are able to
handle much more bulky feed than
horses. A breeding flock of sheep can
very successfully with but little grain
in addition to alfalfa hay. Ordina.
rily the first cutting of alfalfa is not
as good for sheep as the second and
third cuttings, as it is usually coarse
and stemmy, and sheep do not eat
these stems readily.
II is about as safe to pasture old
sheep on alfalfa as it is cattle. They
thrive on il, and make excellent gains !:
but sheep bloat easily and there is
likely to be a little less from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger of bloat
and the way they grow on alfalfa is
delight to the shepherd. They should
never be put on the pasture. when
they are empty and hungry, and it is
always well to allow them access to
some dry feed and keep them of
the alfalfa until the dew is of; also
on damn DAYS. A mixture OF alfalfa
and brome-grass or alfalfa and or
chard grass is q safer pasture than
alfalfa alone.
A flock OF ewes and lambs can be
grazed for short time each day on
alfalfa with but little danger Of any

loss. II lamb-creep oan be arranged

loss. II a lamb-creep can be arranged
from Tho sheer corral to an al
faifa pasture, tho iambs will coon
learn what it is intended for and will
do far better on it than IL confined to
a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can
be pastured with less danger Of bloat
than an old field, and the packing Of
the ground by the sheep passing over
1t is frequently a great benefit to the
alfalfa.
As a roughage for fattening sheep
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases Of
bloat from the hay are exceedingly
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
cut, and fed with grain. Many prefer
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is less waste by it. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
for roughage that equals alfalfa for
fattening sheep. In an experiment
at the Kansas station, alfalfa and
prairie hay were compared as rough
ages. In the test the grain ration was
corn and cottonseed meal for both
lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made
an average daily gain of 1856 pounds
per head, while the lot on prairie hay
made only .1SS pounds per head daily.
the alfalfa lot making almost twice as
great gains. The alfalfa seemed to
give the lambs better appetite and
they were always ready for their grain,
and as coon as their grain was cleaned
up they were ready for the alfalfa.

KING ROAD DRAG IS FAVORED
Have Pledged Themselves to
Make Use Of Implement.

State Highway Commissioner T. j.
Ehrhart of Colorado has announced
that the state will pay half the cost
of split-log drags TO all counties which
will furnish these drags free 10 farm
ers and others pledging themselves TO
use them on their roads. This
action followed the strong impression
made on the highway commission by
the ID. Ward King method OF road
building. as demonstrated at the King
road rallies held recently at Castle
Rock. Littleton, Golden, Denver.
Brighton. Loveland. Greeley. Fort Nor
gan. Fort Collins and Cheyenne. Gov
ernor Ammons was a regular attend
ant at the meetings and enthusias-
tically indorses the system.
Hundreds of farmers have already
pledged themselves to use the drags.
and as a result 1t is predicted that
,ruts. bumps and mudholes In the roads
In this section OF the state will soon
be things of the past, just as this Mis-
souri, farmers method transformed the
dirt roads of Iowa and a dozen other
states at practically no expense.
The following is Kings condensed
formula for building and maintaining
a perfect road with the split-log drag:
Build King drag according to in
etructions. After the first rain, while
the dirt is still moist but not sticky.
hitch the team to the drag SO that
the drag will follow the team at an
angle of about 45 degrees. Drive with
one horse on each side Of the wheel
track to your neighbor's front gate
toward town and come home over the
other wheel track. smoothing the road
and moving a small amount Of earth
toward the middle.
After the next rain or wet spell 20
again. Repeat this after each storm
until the surface touched ~ lAe drag
is smooth and is slightly higher in
the center than at the sides.
Pillow a shallow furrow (please no
tice the word shallow just outside
the dragged portion of the road. turn
ing the furrow into the dragged por-
tion. Spread this furrow (notice the
word 'spread) over the road toward
the center with the drag. When you
finish the roadway will be about two
feet wider and the middle will be a
little higher.
After the next rain or storm plow
again and drag again, adding two feet
more to the width and building the
road still little higher In the center.
Only plow one furrow between rains.
When the road becomes wide enough,
quit plowing. Never drag except when
the soil is moist.
This formula is guaranteed to pro-
duce results"

structions for making and using the
King drag may be obtained by anyone
desiring to use ii on his roads by ad

CARE IN HOG BREEDING PAYS
Breeder Must Choose the Breed That
Most Nearly Conforms to His
Particular Purpose.

Hogs are peculiarly susceptible to
environment and rapidly improve or
retrograde through tho infusion of
good or inferior blood. Because of the
ease with which they take advantage
OF improved conditions and the won
derful Improvement to be noted In
form and size, no other class of live
stock furnishes more satisfaction to the
conscientious breeder He has many
different qualities to choose from, all
good. but not all alike suited in tenn
permanent to one locality or one meth
cd of management.
Then, again, different types attract
different tastes, and the breeder must
choose the breed that most nearly
conforms to his particular purpose
and preference, remembering always
to select animals showing strong in
the points and characteristics Of the
breed chosen. says the Orange Judd
Farmer.
In breeding for Improvement In any
variety much can be accomplished
improvements may be discernible with
each effort il rightly conducted and a
breeder may reasonably expect salts
factory results in molding hog to his
own ideas within three or four genera
tions. With such rapid progress swine
breeding proves extremely fascinating
but great danger lies hidden in such
rapid progress.
Stimulated by each pronounced i'm
provement of the shape of ear. length
of leg. color or formation of body, the
breeder must not overlook the fec.
that the farmer is essentially practical
He cares little whether the ear has an
artistic droop or stands upright
whether the hair is straight, curly
black, white or red. He wants a hos
that will produce the largest amount
of revenue in the shortest time with
the least expenditure. To this end II
stands the breeder in hand TO have for
his ideals a hog large in size. strong
in bone, with well-shaped hams and
shoulders, one that will fatten quickly
and cheaply.

those new roads in condition after

built and then allowed to fall into dis
repair. much Of the original invest

Quite frequently the Office of pub
lie roads, when called upon for assist
ance by the various states. points out
that road building is an art based on a
science. and that trained men and ex-
perienced men are necessary to secure
the best results from the expenditure
of road funds.
Statisticiars have figured out that
although the average expenditure on
the improvement of roads exceeds ST.
$1,000 a day, large portion Of 1t is
wasted because of the failure to build
the right type Of road to meet local
requirements or the failure to provide
