ALL FARMERS OUGHT
 TO HAVE SOME HOGS
Hot Necessary Nor Desirable to Devote Time and Attention
 to Fancy Strains.

It ought to be within the reach of all farmers to produce hogs, whether grades, Chester Whites, Berkshires, Poland Chinas or the bacon type of hogs or any of the other improved breeds, and by selection and attention in subsequent breeding and regard for the plain principles with which every farmer should make himself ac- Quairted to improve and maintain the standard of swine upon the farm.
 It is neither necessary nor desirable that the farmer should convert his yards and houses into breeding estab- lishments and devote his time and at tention to breeding fancy strains or families, at the expense of his pork. producing operations.
 If the production of pork is the sole object of the farmer it is within bis power to so improve his swine that for all practical purposes they are as prac- tical and profitable as though they de scended from the best names in the herd books.
 He wants hogs that will fatten well and his practical eye should select a bunch of good hogs without reference to their pedigrees.

gin early. The young animal should be accustomed to the halter and taught to lead before being weaned, and thereafter 1t should be handled regu. larly until time to break It to harness. Gentle methods are desirable in the latter operation. If the young animal develops normally, it is capable at two years of age of doing considerable farm work. and in any case it is ad- visable to give some light work. It Is not well. however, to put mules at hard work much before four years of age. The mules keep is reckoned at 8 third less than that of a horse.
 For the indications of disposition of old mules look at the head and eyes. say those who have handled these ami mals for many years. Avoid mules with abnormally long heads, as well as those with hollow faces. The eyes Gf the gentle mule are soft and mild and set well apart. A sign of docility in a young mule is indicated by constant motion of the ears; one ear pointing forward, the other backward is also regarded favorably. But beware of the mule that habitually lays the ears back upon the neck, say the authori- ties. It is claimed by some that the little mule is more apt to be ill-tem- pered and vicious, and that the larger the animal the better the disposition.
Tombstone epitaph., 1915-07-25
(By W F. PURDUE)


 It is Q common error that all mules are vicious. To "kick like a mule" is a proverbial and misleading saying. Mules are not worse than horses in this respect. While 1t should be de nied that mules are naturally vicious, it is undoubtedly true that some are made so by illtreatment and abuse. The same is true of horses. In gen. eral, the mule is quiet and patient in temperament, and, when properly in structed during its youth, is Just as steady and reliable as a horse. IL is much easier to take a mule colt in hand at an early age and train if prop erly than 1t is to take an older animal that has been misused and overcome any habits or tricks arising from years of poor infringement. Kindness Is the best policy in dealing with mules as well as with other domestic animals. Mules that are accorded de- cent humane treatment when young nearly always make docile and tract able work animals, and are always ready to respond to good, common .ense treatment The mule that is roundly abused becomes ugly in the same way as the horse develops viciousness when be is continually clistreated.

PROVIDE SUPPLY OF
 CHARCOAL FOR HOGS
corncobs Burned in a Pit Three Feet Deep Win Furnish All
 That Is Needed.
CBy J. M KELLY.)


 For the last 90 years. to the writer's positive knowledge. farm writers have been telling their readers to feed the hog plenty of charcoal. Even if the advice is old it is good. There should be charcoal before the hogs all the time. The supply may be made from corncobs- These must be burned in pit, which should be three or four feet wide, three feet deep and eight or ten feet long.
 A load of cobs should be put in the pit and set afire. As soon as they are well ablaze the pit should be GOV. cred with strips of sheet iron and the cracks with earth so as to exclude air. In a day or two the pit may be uncovered and a supply of charcoal will be ready for use.

THE PIGS TO
 MAKE BEST RETURNS
Corn. Alfalfa and Glover Pasture Will Lay on Fat-Provide
 Suitable Shade.

After the pigs come feed the SOW Ill she can eat of nutritious rations. A fair amount of corn will not hurt her then.
 To keep the youngsters free from ice, dip them just before they are weaned. Then dip them again late n the fall.
 Corn, alfalfa and clover pasture will lay fat on pigs about as fast as anything else that grows.
 The hot sun will drive the fat out of a pig about as fast as you can lay 1t on. It pays to provide plenty of shade.
 The best shade is a shed on an ele- vation over which the wind can sweep without obstruction. Dusty holes in fence corners or in stifiing under. brush are not desirable.
 If your pigs are running on clover pasture and you are feeding grain give it to them at night
 A light feed of grain may be given pigs three times a day. but twice is better, provided they have plenty of good pasture.
 Plenty of clean water ehould be provided every day at noon time and again in the evening for the hogs.
 Only the best bred pigs which are pushed from the start to the finish make the most money.
 Don't forget that pigs never sweat,
 | l with plenty of water in which they can cool themselves during the warm summer months.
