(By W. NJ. KELLEY
With the present high prices of corn
and other grain foods, 1t is essential
that we exercise strict economy in
feeding the growing pigs, and also in
maintaining the breeding herd during
the time they are not in actual serv-
fee.
A well-planned system of grass and
forage crops will greatly reduce the
cost of producing pound of pork, as
well as maintaining the breeding herd.
The size Of pastures, and the kind of
forage and grass crops depend large
ly upon the location of the grower
and the number of animals in the
herd.
We prefer to have more acres of
hog pasture than are needed to supply
the herd with succulent food, so that
we can pillow under what is not eaten,

PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH.

The prevention of disease is the

grain at a dollar bushel.
Il made $3.50 out of that pig" he
