Do Not Overlook Supply Of Humus

Except on soils nearly or quite vir-
gin, there are few farms where hui
mus cannot be used by the soil to
great advantage. In many sections
where commercial fertilizers have
been used for years, to the exclusion
OF stable manures, it has been found
necessary to grow green crops for
blowing under. Where the green
crops are used as part of the rota
ton, so to speak, the exclusive use Of
commercial fertilizers can probably be
safely continued.
The best results come from the
combined use of stable manures and
commercial manures, using the former
for blowing under in the spring and
the latter for top-dressing or working
in just under the surface as the crop
grows In this manner the humus re-
quired by the soil is supplied and the
fertilizing value of the manure as well
Don't overlook the humus question if
you would keep the farm up to the
highest standard

Young Hogs Best For Making Pork

Young animals make more pounds
of gain from their food than when
older. Dean Henry, of Wisconsin
gathered a lot OF data on this and
found that 3S-pound pigs required 1913
pounds of feed to make 100 pounds of
gain 78-pound pigs required 400
pounds of feed; 128-pound pigs, 437
pounds of feed; 174-pound pigs, 4S2
pounds; 226-pound pigs, 498 pounds;
271-pound pigs, 81 pounds, and for
the 330-pound hogs it took 535 pounds
of food to make the 100 pounds of
gain, or nearly twice as much as for
the 38-pound pig. This emphasizes
the Importance of pushing the hogs
from the start in order to make the
most economical gains. 1t has been
found at the North Dakota expert
ment station that April pigs can be
made to weigh 200 to $50 pounds by
November l.
