HOG BREEDING HINTS
Correct Feeding and Clean
Houses Are Essential.
Profits Depend on Persistency Of
Herdsman IN Fighting Unsanitary
Conditions Alfalfa Makes
Best Muscle and Bone.


hog and his health are soon part
ed If the caretaker is the least in
clined to allow the pigs to care for
themselves. Pig profits in the corn
belt depend on the persistency Of the
herdsman in fighting unsanitary con-
ditions. And doubly hard must the
pig grower work to ward OF disease if
he does not give forage an important
place on the bill Of fare.
Any hog, to have clean system,
must have the correct kind of feeding.
Naturally. the hog eats much grass
and forage. When he cannot get it,
he is. unable to do what nature tells
him to do In keeping his system in ex-
act tone.
Pigs grown on forage and carried
into the breeding period and then
through the winter on rightly cured
hay and slops made Of clean feed are
always ready to Withstand exposure.
A clean digestive apparatus and liv-
er can throw of many impurities of
hogs body. Alfalfa pasturage is
found to make the best bone and
muscle on pigs Of. any known forage.
Glover is good, but cannot equal the
unkillable alfalfa plant.
Alfalfa or clover pasturage keeps
the pigs blood cool and the bowels in
excellent condition. It also grows an
earlier maturing animal. For winter
use this plant should be cured as
green as possible. Cock in after cut
ting, and do not allow the sun to
bleach it until all the color is gone.
Not long since saw a farmer who
was feeding alfalfa hay, cured green
and very toothsome, on a feeding floor.
This was late in the fall.
Between the three trough-feeds
daily an abundance of this fine hay
was tossed upon the floor, where the
pigs devoured it greediIy. The trough
feed was OF cracked corn and more al
falfa to balance it.
Dairyfnen declare alfalfa to produce
as much milk as bran, and if this
is so, why would 1t not balance corn
well in. hog feeding? The cut alfalfa
and corn are steamed before feeding.
have never seen hogs thrive better
on any fare than did the ones refer
to above.
Damp quarters in the fall are none
the best. They are the cause OF all
winter lameness and soreness, the ex'
act location of which is puzzle.

Hare Lip Hereditary.

William F. Blades of the Eugenics
Record Office. Cold Spring Harbor, l.
l.. is making special study of hare
lip and cleft palate. in which he il
carrying on breeding experiments with
several harelip strains of Boston ter
riers. He finds that both hare Lin
and cleft palate are highly hereditary
in both man and animal, but he has
been unable to determine in what way
they are inherited. Mr.. Blades finds
great difficulty in getting reliable sta
tistics. owing to the fact that many
persons do their best to conceal slight
cases Of hare lip and cleft palate, espe-
cially If these have been partially or
completely remedied by operation.

WINTER CARE or THE HORSES
Many Farmers Allow Their Work
Teams to Stand in Stable Without
Necessary Exercise or Air.

q d. ~
Why do so many farmers neglect
their work teams during the winter
monthss BY neglect mean, why are
SO many farm horses kept shut up in
close stalls, close stables, when not
actively at work; fed a heavy GLOW
anco of heating grain, an the forage
they can stuff, and only given exercise
when actually at work on the field or
on the road?
In natural state, in any climate,
the horse, like all animals, must nee
essarily take exercise in seeking a.
means Of subsistence, therefore, u
horse which is kept by man must have
exercise in the open air whenever
practicable) in order that he may be
able to give his owner the fun equiv
alent in good honest work for the feed
that he eats.
Farm teams are used to working
hard all spring. summer and fall The
dull season for the farmer is when in
clement weather prevails. Outdoor
work for the faithful farm team will
be uncertain.
Don't let them stand up In the stable
for days at time, fed heavily on heat

Under the most favorable condi-
lions, the average stable does not

sequence suffer from many ailments

DESIRABLE QUALITY IN EGGS
Actual Age Is Only One Of Factors
Which Affect ExceIlence-Term
FRESH Is Synonymous.

Because Of the readiness with which
eggs spoil, the term fresh has be-
come synonymous with the idea of
desirable quality in eggs. However.
the actual age Of an egg is only one
Of the factors which affect the quality.
An egg 4S hours old that has lain in
a wheat shock during a warm July
rain would probably be swarming with
bacteria and be absolutely unfit for
food. while another egg stored eight
months in first-class cold-storage
room would be of much better quality.

ON THE LINE OF DEATH
WHAT THE FIGHTERS IN EUROPE
ARE SUFFERING.
Correspondent at the Front Tells Of
Conditions That Prevail in the

Path of War.

At the end of the village the road
climbed again from the ravine and
emerged ON open fields. A wall OF
timber, dark and impenetrable as the

the farther end of these fields-the
road cutting through it like tunnel

We walked on down the road. Below
the northern horizon, where they were

Aisne, rolled the sullen thunder Of
artillery, ais it had been rolling since

lier's Weekly. And the autumn wind,
cold with the week OF eqninoctial rain,
putting out of thickets and across re-
vines, brought, every now and then,
the horrible odor Of death.
Ahead, to the right, one caught the
CLINT of French infantry's red trousers.
