Farmer Proves Quite Adequate

Good clean water is an essential

well water, if good, is possibly the
best, but when there is not a sufficient
supply a good deep pond does not
come amiss.
We have an artificial pond which
supplies our needs in this direction,
which is ordinarily from twelve to
fourteen feet deep, cool and clean.
This pond was made by building
dam across a hollow in the pasture
As feet wide at the bottom and wide
enough at the top so a team could be
in Farmers Review. A wall on the in
side of the dam was constructed of
two-inch white oak boards to keep the
wash from breaking the dam. The
outlet is not over the dam, but on the
side.
To accomplish this task three teams
and four or five men were kept busy
for three weeks. After the dam had
settled II was built up to the neces-
sary height twice at different inter-
walls.
Here we row with a skiff at
leisure. and have a good old-fashioned

NOTES FOR SWINE BREEDERS
Success With Pigs Cannot Be At
tributed to Luck-ModeI Farm
Should Have Natural Shade.

Progression is the order of the day,
and in no direction is there more prog
ress made than in the breeding and
feeding Of swine.
The time is past when we can con-
slider a mans success in swine grow
ing based upon luck
Good drainage is essential on the
hog farm, and no amount of tile or ar
tificial draining will take the place
of good natural drainage.
While hills and valleys make an
ideal place for hog farm, the herd
should be kept as near to the source
Of the water as possible because of
the danger of the stock becoming af-
flicted with cholera and other diseases
caused by the stream being contami-
mated by swine further up stream.
A model breeding farm should be
provided with a timber lot or large
grove. There is no shade like nat
ural shade, and trees soften the cold
winds during the winter Their value
cannot be overestimated when proper
ly utilized by the swine grower.
The breeder who would be success
full in this age of close competition
must have the closest and keenest dis
elimination of what is necessary to
constitute an animal of individual
merit, or more properly he must have
firmly fixed in his mind the exact con-
tour of perfect pig. Then he must
have an idea of the kind of breeding
stock required to produce such a pig.
There are numerous breeds of swine,
varying not only in size, color, shape,
feeding qualities and general char
acteristics, but also in the quality Of
their product.
1t is not the great big fat pig that
brings home the money, but the pig
that will weigh from 200 to 300 pounds
at from six to ten months of age that
captures the top prices.
The breeding animals of the herd
should receive the very best care and
attention at all times, but with all of
our knowledge of breeding and feed.
ing, the science of swine growing is
yet in its infancy.

KEEPING SWINE IN WINTER
Profit Can Be Made in Feeding Home
Grown Feeds, Such as Glover,
Alfalfa and Ensilage.

1t is a common question to be asked
If it will pay to winter swine. l can
see but one way to winter swine at a
reasonable cost, and it is to winter
them on as cheap feed as is possible,
and make homegrown feeds, clover,
alfalfa and ensilage, form a prominent
part of the ration.
If we can winter an animal in this
way and feed out only small amount
of grain | think we can make it profit

JUDGMENT IN BUYING cows
II Animal Has Characteristic Color

pasture to better advantage than those
born in the spring; they are older and
more capable of protecting themselves
from flies. When cows freshen at this
season of the year, and it is desired to
have them freshen the following year
at the same time, it is necessary to
carry them for three months before
breeding. This is the usual practice
among the best dairymen.
We would say that it would be bet
ter to begin breeding the animals the
first of January if it is desired to have
them freshen in the fall, for it is quite
possible that it will require more than
one breeding.-Hoard's Dairyman.
