Hog Raising Cost Reduced by
Pasturage.


Pasturage.
The cost of pork is reduced mater
tally by the use of pasture and for
age crops, but it is desirable to feed
grain or other concentrated food in
addition. In some sections of the
country where pastures are luxuriant,
mature hogs are maintained in an APP
parently satisfactorily condition on
pasture alone. This practice should
not be followed, however. in the case
of young, growing pigs, because they
will become thin in flesh and stunted
if compelled to live on pasture alone.
Hog raisers differ widely regarding
the quantity of grain that should be
fed to hogs while on pasture. Some
feeders give them all they will con-
sumo. Others feed a ration equal to
about 2 to 3 per cent of the live
weight of the hog. Still others will
allow pigs to run a pasture and feed
them a l per cent grain ration. There
is no fixed rule governing the supple
mental grain ration which should be
fed in combination with forage. The
amount Of grian fed depends upon
the kind of pasture used, the price
aud the market.
Pasture forage has a variable COM
position. Alfalfa, clover, vetch and
peas furnish feed much richer in pro-
tein than most other crops. Where
hogs are feeding on leguminous pas
ture they require less concentrated
food than when grazing upon nonle-
guminous pasture such as timothy, or
chard grass, Bermuda, or bluegrass.
In the early stages of growth the GER

forages. A farmer may have more
hogs than his pasture will accommod-
ate. When this is the case the pasture
will last longer if a full grain ration
is fed. The more grain a hog con-
sumes the less forage he will eat.
When grain is high it is rather ex-
pensive to feed supplemental grain
nation. At such times there is a
great temptation to place the hogs
upon pasture alone. This practice
will hardly ever pay, for it generally
takes more grain and more time to
finish off the hogs than if they had
been fed a liberal ration while on
pasture.
The amount of grain used will also
depend upon the length of time the
feeder has in which to fit the hogs
for market Hogs that are market
ed from 10 to IL months old are US
ually maintained on pasture alone
during the grazing season. If any
grain is given at all it is very light.
In this way the greater percentage
of growth is made from the cheaply
grown forage. Where rapid finish
ing is desired the liberal use of grain
is important.

If liquor is bad for the Indian it is
also bad for the employees of the In
dian service.
That is what Cato Sells, United
States Indian Commissioner, of
Washington, ID c., pointed out in an
address to the 220 superintendent,
teachers and Indian service employees
at the United States Indian Indus
trial School.
Mr.. Sells called attention to the in
crease of $4,000 in the Indian appro-
priation this year and said that he
intends to wage a vigorous fight on
the illicit sale of liquor to Indians.
At the same time he warned the
employees of the Indian service that
he would not tolerate their use of al
coholics, and said that if he found
any of them drinking and keeping
liquor near them he would have them
discharged from the service.

Superior Rural Road Work

That full value may be received for
the money appropriated for road pur-
poses and that the best results OBJ
tainable may be secured it is essential
that the right man shall be placed in
charge of road work. He should be
selected not only because he actually
knows more about good roads than
any other person in the community,
but also because he can get the best
results from the money furnished. 1t
is not sufficient, however, to let the
matter rest with the appointment of
road overseer. He should receive
the whole-hearted support of the COM
munity in the work 1t should be seen
to that under the conditions and with
the money furnished the community
is getting what it has a right to ex-
pect in the way of road improvement.
1t is well to remember that if for any
reason an incompetent man is placed
in charge of the work the response
bility for failure rests upon the COM
munity. There should be no other
consideration, therefore, in selecting
a road overseer than that of securing
a man with the ability to perform the
duties required. 1t should be realized
that good roads have much to do with
the prosperity of community and
that united action in the right direc-
ton is the surest and quickest way to
secure them.
Where the road overseer has had
but little experience in road work, or
wher some new and difficult problem
is presented to the experienced man.,
the office of public roads and rural
engineering of the u. ST department
of agriculture when requested, will Of
fer advice and suggestions for carry
ing on the work and how best to ovei (.
come the difficulties.
To secure a satisfying road of any
type, it is absolutely necessary to re-
member: First, drainage; second,
drainage; third, drainage. The earth
road, properly cared for, will answer
satisfactorily for the traffic of many
rural sections that cannot afford the
better types of roads; but the earth
road must be well drained. After
this fact is well understood, two other
requirements may be taken up-the
location of the road and the reduction
of grades to general average of 5
per cent.
WITH the exception OF SANDY ROADS,
which are easiest for travelling when
damp, all roads must have proper side
bitches to carry away the surface wa
ter. In order to lead this surface wa
ter to the ditch, the road surface must
have crown, or rounded roof, high
est in the center and sloping toward
the side bitches. A very easy and sat
isfactory way to keep earth. clay, and

Personal Liberty

The good citizens of Richmond,
Ind, are full of horror and wrath over
the cold-blooded murder of two city
policemen by a drunken truckster.
Two families in Richmond are
mourning the loss of husbands and
fathers.
One wretch, the victim of legalized
traffic in alcohol, is in Jail waiting
the hour of his electrocution.
One saloonkeeper is washing his
hands of the affair by pleading that
he sold the whiskey as purely bust
ness proposition. That he has to
supply the liquid that personal Ii
berty" demands and that he pays the
state for the privilege.
Several brewers and host of cor
rupt politicians who have kept the
state under the power of the saloon,
and divers Congressman who vote
solidly for the perpetuation of the
liquor traffic are wondering just how
far they will be held accountable for
the murder of Officers Little and Step
henson when the final day of reckon
ing arrives.
And finally, many of the citizens
of Richmond are beginning to open
their eyes and wonder if such things
can be paid for by license fee.
The liquor traffic is inherently vici-
Gus. 1t is the vampire that saps life
blood from it's victim.

Farmers Statements Necessary

a.
One of the bankers of Jackson hits
the nail squarely on the head as to
the lack of proper accounting sys-
TENS and the necessity therefore
among the farmers of this state. He
covers the subject in the following
statement:
when a business man comes to his
banker to borrow money he is requir-
ed to make a statement. The banker
is handling the money of his deposit
ors, and in justice to them cannot af-
ford to take chances, and the bust
nessman in the city understands it.
So he discloses his business condition
to his banker, He tells what his
debts are, how much his credits, how
much business he is doing, how much
profits, and so on.
"The farmer, as a class, has per-
haps more legitimate need of borrow
ing than the other. He is called on
to meet the expense of growing crops
through the year, for which he is paid
at harvest time He needs money to
buy cattle, for which he will get his
money months later, when they are
fattened. There is as much reason
for farmer to be able to get money
at his bank to buy carload of feed
ers as there is for business man to
borrow at his bank at 6 per cent to
discount his bills.
"Many farmers, however, feel in
suited when the banker asks for a
statement. They seem to feel the
banker is rejecting on his honesty.
A great many farmers, too, are unable
to give a statement, because they
keen no books or accounts of any kind.
l suppose there are thousands farm
ers in Michigan who are entitled to bank
credit, and who would profit great
ly by the ability to command ready
money, who are barred because they
don't know how well off they are. To-
day it is the exceptional farmer who
shouldn't have good credit at his bank.
Most of them have ready money, and
some of them take big chances by
keeping it in the house. If he had a
bank account he could pay all his bills
with checks, and take no risk of los
ing money; and if he had capital he

fully aware of it. Barrels may be
of whatever shape may please the

pass muster they must contain 1866
