are growing nicely and bid fair to
make an enormous yield.
The arrangement of this ranch is
IDEAL. It is located on both sides of. q
stream formed by the confluence OF
several large springs, itself tributary
OF Three and Twenty creek, and the
runs for the hogs are 80 arranged
that they have access to water at all
times. In addition to this large water
wheel, representing as nearly as pos
| sible perpetual motion, is being used
I to force the clear and cool spring
water to tank apd through hhe hog
pens. and runs. This wheel and pump
have a capacity Of $500 gallons Of
water per day, or about ten gallons
for every hog on the ranch.
Mr.. Aull is raising now Poland China
and Duroc Jersey pure breeds for
breeding purposes. and a CROSS be-
tween them for meat. He has some
very fine specimens in both these
breeds. He manages to keep about 150
hogs all the time, and they are fat
enough for pork. Very little grain is
being fed now. nor has been during
| the summer.
How do you keep down hog chole.
raj" was asked Mr.. Aull by the report
er for the Intelligencer. "Oh, that is
| easy" replied Mr.. Aull. zone has on
iy to keep his runs clean, disinfected
occasionally. and keep the hogs free
from lice" Asked what he thought
OF the serum treatment, Mr.. Aull said
he was not specially impressed with
1t, for 1t lasted only about three weeks
when used. but that If he had chole-
ra in his ranch he would use It to
stamp it out. and then he would 20
beck to the disinfectants, and the clean
treatment.
MT. Aull has q very systematic ro-
tatton OF crops which he adheres to
year after year. For instance the fields
where he has this year corn, with
wheat, rye and vetch planted in the
rows, will next year be planted to
pinders about the first of. July, with
another grazing crop following. The
next year he will plant soy beans, an
early variety, followed by crimson
clover and rapes going the third year
10 corn again. Everything that can be
turned under will be added to the sup
ply Of humus In the soil. As q hog
feed Mr.. Aull does not think much
or vetch, but he plants 1t for the soil
improving qualities. He says his hogs
will not eat artichokes, either, being
q bit particular what they feed upon.
