times during the growing season, so

ct all times when the weather Is IA
vorable for the animals to be out
side.
The hog growers should look to the
legumes and investigate their high
feeding value. They are highly nitro
genous food and may be grown with
great benefit to the land at low
cost.
When a green forage crop is pas
tured with pigs, 1t is often necessary
to pillow under a large portion Of the
green forage, which, together with the
droppings of the pigs while they are
running on the field and being fed
supplementary grain foods, greatly
improves the land, increasing its
humus content and adding large
amounts of nitrogen to the soil beside
freeing it from noxious weeds. 1t IL
an economical method of building up
a rundown field.
A number of writer's have advocated
feeding the pigs nothing but grass and
forage crops, but my experience. both
in the alfalfa region and here in the
East, will not bear out these claims
for forage.
We find that in order to secure
fairly good gains we must feed a little
grain food at all times. Forage will
make a great saving. and the best
possible growth and thrift are secured
when wheat middlings, corn or other
grain foods are fed in connection with
such grass and forage crops as al
falfa, blue grass, clover and cowpeas,
and the pigs will reach the highest de-
velopment they are capable Of max
ing.
It is claimed by the leading pork
producers that q well-managed sys-
tenn of forage crops will reduce the
cost of producing pork from 30 to
40 per cent.
In planning system Of forage
crops and pastures, we must be gov
erned by the number of pigs. their
size, and quality of the land that IL
used for growing these crops.
In my own experience / have found
no better method of improving the
soil than to raise hogs. and practice
a system of growing green forage
crops and feeding them a reasonable
amount of grain food in connection
with the pasture and forage crops.
To secure the best growth and de-
velopment the hogs must have some
grain food in connection with their
pasture and forage crops or there will
be- q tendency to promote an abnor-
NAL development of their stomach
| and intestines.

CATCH THE CHICKEN SNAKES
Unique Method Employed by Texas

IT'S one of the risks of life," said
Sarnold. Marriage is the penalty"
And so their association began; and
Lydia soon learned why Sarnold had
spoken, so bitterly of marriage. II
ever there was an incongruous couple
1t was Sarnold and his wife. Sarnold
was quiet, gentle, thoughtful. and,
perhaps, little irritable upon occa,
sion; Mrs. Sarnold was shrewish, cold,
calculating, and evidently a source of
continual distress to her husband.
What the life of the couple could be
like when she was not present Lydia
could very well understand from what
she saw while she was there.
And from the first Lydia seemed to
become the object of Mrs. Sarnold' e
hostility. She guessed that the wife,
too selfish to take the place she should
have done as her husbands assistant,
grudged her her own. Nevertheless
Mrs. Sarnold shrewdly realized that
her future. as well as her husband 8,
lay at Lydia's mercy.
At the end of three months Lydia
could take her employers stories ex.

even ventured to make suggestions
which he sometimes adopted. That
was the beginning, in fact, of q very
happy partnership. Those hours were
the happiest in Sarnold's life. Gradu
ally their intimacy grew and Mrs
Sarnold was not slow to perceive it.
Sarnold's blindness seemed to have
become quite progressive. He CROPPED
his way about the room now like one
sightless, and Lydia. not daring to
question him. felt her eyes I'LL with
