MANAGING THE HOG PASTURE
Desirable 20 Have Alfalfa Fenced Off
Into Suitable Areas to Secure
Fresh Fields.

While a few hogs can be raised
confined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept clean, they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically II
they have plenty Of alfalfa range,
according to Prof. G. w. Barnes,
farm advisor on live stock OF the
University of Arizona College OF Ag'
riculture extension service.
It is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced off into suitable areas,
so that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture to another. This will nos
only provide fresh pasture. but will
give an opportunity to cultivate, and
need be, to disinfect-
Practically all cases OF intestinal
worms, which are common In swine,
are contracted from infected grounds;
therefore, by pasture rotation you
can help keep your hogs free from
these parasites.

BENEFITS FROM GOOD ROADS
increase Value of Every Acre Of Land
Adjoinins-correet Principles
Being Followed.

Slowly but surely farmers are
everywhere coming to- the realization
that good roads increase the value OF
every acre adjoining or in proximity to
them, and that the best of land will
be hard to sell if it can be reached
only through heavy, muddy roads the
greater portion Of the year. In so far
as our section (northern 1ndiana) Is
concerned, the progress in making
good roads has been quite marked
during the last five years, says a
writer in Farmers Review. AS soon
as it was announced that the Lincoln
highway would have its course through
our section, the value Of farms lying
along and near this course increased
to quite a degree, in some instances
as much as rs per cent.
1t is really astonishing how foolishly
the methods of road making were for
merly carried on. Farmers had fallen
into a habit Of working on the roads
IN very different way from what they
worked on their own farms. 1t often
looked as if some feared they might
do more work than their neighbors-
hence they were determined to do less.
Sometimes, in fact nearly always, the
most incompetent man In the district
was chosen supervisor, and he often
had great difficulty in prevailing upon
the farmers to do enough work to en-
able him to make proper returns to the
commissioners.
Another matter quite noticeable In
those days was that in making roads,
all principles of good road making
were as rule violated. No effort was
made to drain the roadway. 1t was
simply thrown up little higher than
the roadsides so that when the heavy
rains came the water, instead of run
ming off, would settle into the depres-
sions made by the wagon wheels and
remain there until slowly evaporated,
the ruts in the meantime growing
deeper and deeper. The farmers them
selves despised the roads heartily.
As to materials for road making, 1t
was the almost universal rule to take
that most convenient. II it happened
TO be good gravel, well and good, but
ii. as in large majority Of cases, 1t
Shappened to be sand, 1t was used just
the same.
But in these days such roads will
no longer be tolerated. We have in
northern Indiana any number Of good
gravel beds and from these gravel Is
drawn and spread upon the roadbed to
a good depth. In the course Of short
time it is possible with such good ma

STRIVE TO PREVENT CHOLERA
When Disease Attacks Herd Secure
Services Of Competent Veterinary
Follow His Directions.

The only way to cure hog cholera
is to prevent it. This might be said
of almost any disease, human, bovine
or porcine.
The prevention, however, is not al
ways in the hands of the farmer, but
it is generally. When hog cholera
attacks your herd, or what you believe
to be hog cholera, either secure q
competent veterinarian in your vicin-
ity or apply to the veterinary depart
ment of your state. Have them send
a veterinarian to visit your farm, and
kill enough hogs to find out what Is
the matter. Then follow his direc-
tions.
While this is going on, don't allow
any person to visit your farm, and
don't visit any other farm. If dogs
come about your place, shoot them.
If you have pigeons about, shoot them.

must be fed a liberal ration Of fat
producing feeds, especially grains.
When beginning TO feed baby beeves,
they should receive large quantities
of alfalfa or cowpea hay, or other
such rough feeds as will increase their
digestive capacity so they can handle
large quantities of grain. If heifer
calves instead of steers are to be fed,
they will finish more quickly and
should be marketed earlier.
The younger the prime heffers ara
at the time of marketing, the less
discrimination in price will the butch
er make between heifers and steers.
The most common mistake is that OF
marketing before the individual is
ready or ripe.
