ALL FARMERS OUGHT
TO HAVE SOME HOGS
Not Necessary Nor Desirable to
Devote Time and Attention
to Fancy Strains.

II 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-
quainted to improve and maintain the
standard of swine upon the farm.
1t 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 his
power to so improve his swine that for
all practical purposes they are as prac-
teal 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.

to lead before being weaned, and
thereafter it 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 adj
visable to give some light work. 1t is
not well, however, to put mules at
hard work much before four years of
age. The mules keep is reckoned at
a third less than that of horse.

say those who have handled these ami
mails for many years. Avoid mules
with abnormally long heads, as we'll as
those with hollow faces. The eyes of
the gentle mule are soft and mild and
set well apart A sign of docility in
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. 1t 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.

10y w. r.. PORDuE.)
IL 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 it should be de-
MED that mules are naturally vicious,
1t is undoubtedly true that some are
made so by ill-treatment and abuse.
The same is true of horses. In gem
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 1t is
much easier to take mule colt in
hand at an early age and train it prop
erly than il is to take an older animal
that has been misused and overcome
any habits or tricks arising from
years of poor management Kindness
is the best policy in dealing with
mules as we'll 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
sense treatment. The mule that is
roundly abused becomes ugly in the
same way as the horse develops
viciousness when he is continually
mistreated.
The mule foal's education should be-

PUSH THE PIGS TO
MAKE BEST RETURNS
Corn, Alfalfa and Clover Pasture
viii Lay on Fat-Proyide
Suitable Shade.

After the pigs come feed the SOW
all she can eat of nutritious rations
A fair amount of corn will not hurt
her then.
To keep the youngsters free from
lice, dip them just before they are
weaned. Then dip them again late
in 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. 1t pays to provide plenty OF
shade.
The best shade is shed on an ele
walton over which the wind can sweep
without obstruction. Dusty holes in
fence corners or in sitting 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 should 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
and therefore they must be supplied
with plenty of water in which they
can cool themselves during the warm
summer months

PROVIDE SUPPLY OF
CHARCOAL FOR HOGS
CornCobs Burned in a Pit Three
Feet Deep Will Furnish All
That Is Needed.
(By ]. M. KELLY1


For the last 30 years, to the writer's
positive knowledge, farm writer's 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 we'll ablaze the pit should be GOV.
cred with strips of sheet iron and the
cracks with earth SO as to exclude
air. In day or two the pit may be
uncovered and supply of charcoal
will be ready for use.

1000 pounds; low-grade sulphate of
potash 600 pounds; nitrate of soda,
100 pounds.
All these may be mixed. applied

500 pounds basic-slag meal, 1000
pounds; nitrate of soda. 100 pounds.
The Stag is not mixed with the

apply the Stag by itself but all the
other materials may be mixed be

Temperament.

A good many persons treat their
temperament as if it were a wart
or a tumor over which they had no
control.
Il simply can't do that man will
say; Il guess it's matter of tempera-
ment." Or man who is "welcher
on the trail"-who takes a wife as
'pardner" and then quits her on
the trail-excuses himself on the
score of temperament.
There is temperament, of course.
And it is a good thing. Il is chiefly
that which keeps us from all being
alike. Life would be dreadfully equa-
BILE and boresome if it were not for
temperament.
Bat to mistake cold feet for tenn
perement; or to let the real thing in
the way of temperament master you
instead of being mastered by you

ditch, County Auditor Doane found
that no bids had been submitted
At first it was not definitely known
whether or not this failure to secure
bids would prove the death knell of
the ditch. County Attorney Myron
wrote to the Attorney Generals office
for an opinion in the matter, and that
office held that it made no difference
whether bids had been submitted and
rejected, or no bids made, and that the
auditor should again advertise for
bids. County Auditor Doane informs
us that he will advertise for bids.
