KEEP LITTLE PIGS GROWING
Eastern Breeder Describes Plan Of

To keep pigs growing properly they
should have as little setback at wean.

an eastern breeder describes his sys.
tenn:
before my pigs are weaned | teach
them to eat and they are ready and
eager for their meals when they are
weaned. first give them oats and
milk. putting the oats In a trough,
pouring the milk over them 80 they
cannot get too much milk at one time.
II am short on milk. l put oil meal
and middlings in milk and pour It on
the oats. This plan starts the pigs
eating while they are still sucking
their mother and 1t is the best feed
have used for this purpose. As they
get older l feed oats separately and
make slop OF oil meal one quart. mid.
dlings three gallons. milk and water
20 gallons. Then put 20 pounds of dry
bran in the troughs and pour on the
slop and turn them In. Give them
only enough so they will clean It up
we'll as II they wanted little more.
This keeps their appetite Just sharp
enough. A little corn is fed also and
at eight months old these pigs will
make as good as you will find.."

NO EXCUSE FOR sCALY LEGS
Condition Is Quite Common Among
Fowls, and Is Worthy the Poul-
tryman's Consideration.

Scaly leg is condition quite COM
mon among fowls, and is worthy the
poultryman's consideration.
There is noticed on the front un.
feathered portion of the legs, or upon
the toes, elevated scales giving
roughened, enlarged appearance, or
uneven, grayish, rough crusts. This
is caused by a very small parasite
mite which lenetrates between the
scales, producing an irritation result
ing in the formation of serum, which
dries. accumvlates and pushes out I'll g
scales.
The spread over the leg is very
slow, both legs generally being af-
fected. Later lameness may be no.
tieed, perhaps, dropping off of parts
of the toes, the hen stops laying, be-
comes thin in flesh. and through loss
Of vitality, becomes more easy prey
to other diseases, and death may oc-
cur. This condition is easily trans
mitted, and new birds should be ex-
amined before being introduced into
an unaffected flock. There is no ex-
euse for allowing this condition to
exist, since it is easily remedied by
proper treatment

BUILD UP THE HOME MARKET
Not Enough Attention Paid to Local
Needs by Many Breeders Of
Pure-Bred Stock.

Many breeders of pure-bred stock
fail to pay sufficient attention to their
local market. The excuse is often made
that the farmers near by will not pay
the prices a breeder ought to have for
producing high class breeding animals.
To the breeder located in a communi-
ty where the use of such stock has not
become firmly established this may be
true. 1t will be to the breeders inter
est to use his best efforts to educate
the men of his home community to the
value of this stock. 1t may be neces-
sary in the beginning to sell a breed
ing animal occasionally for little less
money than it might bring from one
familiar with its value. AS it is dem
onstrated to these men that good
breeding pays in dollars and cents they
will gradually become willing to pay
more nearly what animals are worth
for breeding purposes.
During the past season owing to bad
roads and bad weather conditions
many buyers from a distance were
prevented from marketing, 1t has
been interesting to observe the in
stances where the home market had
been systematically developed to such
extent that the offering was taken at
fairly remunerative prices in spite Of
the absence of outside buyers, A sue
cessful breeder Of improved live stock
who endeavors to build up a home
trade in this way is good business
asset in the community. In the course
Of time the whole community will bene-
fit as a result of his work for live
stock improvement. Such men should
be given every encouragement pos
sible.
