POINTERS FOR PIG BREEDER
Feeding and Attention Are Of Much
lmportanee-Furnlsh Dry Quar-
tiers and Plenty Of Sunlight.

Keep the following points In mind:
/. Feeding and care are as import.
ant as breeding in producing a good
hog. Plenty OF good feed and care
may make a fairly good hog out Of
a runt. but lack OF It win always make
q runt out OF good pig.
O. Young pigs must have q dry bed
and plenty OF sunshine.
8. Begin feeding the pig as soon as
he win eat. and keep him growing
until he Is mature.
4. Always keep plenty Of clean.
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
S. The more milk a SOW viii give
the faster her pigs win grow.
s. Lice prevent a hog from doing

of the confusion of the two diseases
arises from the fact that in some
cases pigs affected with necrobacil'

KILLING OFF THE cRIcKETs
Poisoned Bran ls Recommended for
Combating Pest-Paris Green

(By GEORGE A. BEAM Kansas Exper-

To combat the black crickets which
often are a pest, use poisoned bran
mash. This is made by mixing q
pound OF bran and one ounce paris
green together in a pan, and adding
three ounces strip Of molasses and
some orange peel mixed in one and
one-half pints of water. A small
amount OF this damp mash should be

CARING FOR THE COLT
Young Animal Requires More
Protein Than Older Ones.
Determine on Good Ration and Feed
LIberalIy-Market Demands Strong
Heavy Horses-GiVe Them
Chance to Exercise.

A stunted colt can never be expect
ed to develop into as large an indivtd-
ual as the one literally fed. In feed
ing colt 1t is first necessary to deter
mine what constitutes a balanced ra-
ton. When the animal is young it re-
Quires more protein than one, two or
three years old. The older the colt
gets the less protein is required. HaV-
ing determined a good ration then
feed literally, but do not feed so much
that 1t will remain in the manger from
one feeding time to another.
A colt should weigh at one year OF
age about half what 1t will ever weigh,
and an abundance Of feed given dur
ing the second or third year cannot
make up for what has been lost during
the first year. The market demands
strong heavy horses and sometimes
the difference in price that is paid for
two horses, one weighing 1000 pounds
and the other 1900, will amount to
nearly dollar a pound. 1t is there
fore most important to get strong
heavy horses and the foundation for
this increased weight is laid in good
breeding and liberal early feeding.
A young colt often begins to eat OF
the hay and grain in its mothers
manger when 1t is only two or three
months old. This should be encour
aged by lowering the feed box or build
ing separate one so the colt car

found that the young animal will soon
be getting a large per cent of its
nourishment in this way. A mixture
of three parts oats and one part bran
makes a good feed for the colt.
With liberal feeding the colt should
be given an opportunity to run and
play as much as he desires, and there
is no animal on the farm that enjoys
it better or needs it more than the
colt.

trim up these waste and idle places
before the volunteer growths get too
far advanced.
1t is a good plan to bring the sheep
from their pasture once or twice each
week through the summer and fall
and give them opportunity to trim up
the weeds. It is very valuable for the
health and thrift of the sheep.
"A change OF pasture is good for
sheep" and there is nothing better
for the suppression OF the extra
growth of pasture and weeds than
