The Grit-Advocate

Nebraska state line, where Nebraska
has herd law and Colorado free range.
At the time many children were denied
school privileges on account of having
to herd the stock. This will be the
case if We should have herd law.
In the northwest part Of Chase county
and the southeast part of Perkins coun-
ty. Nebr., near where | resided, the
farmers have found by experience that
it is for their best interest to fence
their farm land allow their stock to
run at large, as we are doing here in
Colorado.
THE facts stated herein are from
my own personal knowledge, and if
anyone should have any doubt in their
mind as to which is the best plan for all
concerned they should visit the locality
mentioned and see for themselves.
There is no question but that herd
law would work hardships on the small
farmer and ranchman, some of whom
would practically have to go out of the
stock business on account of not having
sufficient pasture. The free range
gives the little. fellow the same chance
as the other fellow.
You are no doubt more or less ia
miliar with the conditions existing in
this part of the state and when speak
of this part of the state do not m an
Phillips county alone, but the whole
eastern part of the state, of that part
which is termed the Buffalo grass"
country. If you are familiar with the
conditions existing in eastern Colorado
you know that the greatest interest is
the business of ranching and da,rying.
Holyoke ships more cream than any
other locality in the state. The results
obtained from the stock and dairy busi.
ness is evidenced by the nicely i'm
proved farms in this vicinity, This
very system we have here, made up
partly of stock interests, has made this
country what it is today and this ques-
tion of free range is vital in the whole
OF the eastern part of the state. This
territory which was once termed arid
land and unfit for habitation is now
worthy and of great Importance az any
other part of the state of Colorado.
II believe it behoo.cs us all, in the
cities as well as in the country, to pull!
off our coats and fight against the herd
law. If the people of the cities of the
state are fully advised as to the Import
ance of voting down the proposition
believe they will do so. for what is d
benefit to the farmer and ranchmen,
will benefit the city in the way OF nore
business in all lines.
"One of the arguments put up by
the parties favorable to the h.idiow is
that We will have more settler This
is not true, for the western ,....- of

A Portable Telephone in Forest

y portable telephone, made Of
aluminium and weighing 24lbs
the invention Of a Forest officer,
X. b. Adams of Missoula, Mon
tana, will be part of the, regular
equipment of patrolmen on the
National Forests the coming field
season. This instrument is re-
garded as Il great improvement
over the set formerly used, which
weighed ten pounds.
1t is said that IL field man O.
quipped with this telephone, a few
yards of emergency wire, and a
short piece of heavy wire to make
the ground connection, can cut in
anywhere along the more than 20,
600 miles of Forest Service tele-
phone lines and get in touch with
the headquarters of a supervisor
or district ranger. To talk, one
end of the emergency wire is
thrown over the telephone line,
the two ends are connected to the
portable instrument, and the in
strument is connected to the
ground wire, the end of which
must be thrust into the damp earth
or in water. Contact with the
line wire is made possible by lie
moval of the insulation from
few inches of the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does
not ring the bell of the receiving
telephone, but instead causes Il
screeching sound from small
megaphone-shaped apparatus de-
scriptively known as ''howler".
This instrument is installed at the
ranger station telephone and is
said to give effective notice that
some one is on the wire. If the
field man needs to talk with some
one elsewhere on the line. the
ranger station instrument can be
used to ring up the person wanted,
vixen the conversation can be car
ricd on.
Forest officers say that these
portable phones are especially val
liable in reporting fires and other
emergencies with the least possible
delay, and also i'll sending instruc-
tons to field men and keeping the
district rangers informed as TO the
progress Of work going on in the
held. thus supplementing the reg
ular telephone sets installed at
lookout points, ranger stations,
and at convenient intervals along
Forest Service roads and trails.

MAKING live STOCK
LIKE SWEET CLOVER
Stake Animals in Pasture and
They Will Soon Develop Taste,
Says Iowa Expert.

my stock will not pasture on sweet
clover. They don't seem to like it.
What's the trouble?" Is the query be-
ing received from many farmers over
the state by the farm crops depart
ment ut Iowa state college.
Do not discard such an excellent
pasture as sweet clover because the
animals do not like it at first, as they
are likely not to. They can soon be
made to like it, even better than other
pastures.
Simply allow the animals nothing
but sweet clover for n few days. If
the sweet clover patch is not separate
from other pasture. stake the animals
in 1t. After a few days turn them out
where they will have access to other
pasture as well as the clover. Nine
times in ten they will then eat sweet
clover in preference to any other pas
ture.
Sweet clover is proving to be one Of
the best pasture plants, especially for
sheep and cattle. Besides rarely caus-
ing blOat, as do red clover and alfalfa,
1t Is nutritive. palatable when animals
get used to it, increases the milk flow,
grows rapidly and gives an abundant
paSturage.

Mr.. Farmer is wide awake, and, with

on DISEASE OF HOGS
Cleanliness Is Given as Best Pre-
ventive of Cholera-Use
= Disinfectants Freely.

/. An ounce of prevention is worth
several cars of cures.
2. There has never been IL cure that
worked worth while.
3, Cleanliness Is the most effective
preventive. A hog will keep himself
clean If you give him chance.
4. A hog should have room, range,
light, grass and grain, as well us pure
water.
s. Dust Is more dangerous to hog
than mud, but filth is a breeder of dis
ease to any animal. The hog is pow
erless to dodge disease when confined
In small pens.
6. Change quarters occasionally. Do
not allow hogs to stay in contami-
mated places.
z. Use disinfectants-dips. white
wash and I've. Clean up now and then.
8. Clean and disinfect troughs, slop
barrels, pals, ETC., as well as yards
and buildings.
8. Quarantine all new stock that Is
brought onto the place, at least three
weeks. Vaccinated hogs may give
cholera to others.
10. Vaccinate your hogs if you know
how, but get veterinarian if not.
Treat the pigs-it is much cheaper
and better than to wait. The bigger
the hog, the more it costs to vaccinate
him.
IL. The hog seeks shade and mud
in his natural state, especially during
summer Give him place to wallOw,
but do not have his pen so small he
cannot get around comfortably.

tBy GEORGE r. SAMSON. in Denver
Field and FARM
The prime purpose In raising pigs Is
to produce pork and lard and is the
one point in swine breeding, whether
one allows the animals to shift for
themselves or gives them all the elab-
crate care that fancy may dictate as
contributing to the comfort of breeder
or the pigs themselves. The points
upon which the practical pork prOduc-
er should base his selection are vigor,
fecundity. type, and efficiency In trans
forming feed into pork and lard. The
best type Of pig Is the one which is
most responsive to feed and most eff
ficient in laying on flesh or fat. The
marks of thrift and vigOr are too well
known to require much explanation.
In any good sized litter there will ap-
pear individuals more alert, larger and
fuller chested from the very first. Their
greater aggressiveness. which leads
them to avail themselves of their food
supply and perhaps part of that Of
their mates, gives them an initial ad-
vantage which they usually keep
through their sucking days. In fact,
It is seldom lost when they go to the
feed lot where they can get all they
want. 1t Is not the little, fat, chubby
females which should be retained as
breeding animals, for they almost al
ways prove disappointing ut narrowing
time. They neither produce large lit
tiers nor save the little ones from being
crushed in the pig bed. They are not
good mixers either, and thus do not
give the litter n good send-off during
the sucking days.
Long, Growthy Females.
One should rather select the long,
growthy females, taking care. however,
that they do not stand too high from
the ground and are not contracted at
the heart girth or rear flank. One
should make sure, too, that there Is
no tendency for the back to sag or the
feet to 60 down on the dew-claws. 1t
Is better to select one with some arch
to the back, making sure that the arch

straight underline. Width between the
eyes and smoothness and freedom from
coarseness about the head are of i'm
portance, but one should look to the
body first, for that is the valuable part
of the pig. See that the SOW has at
least IL good teats, with room enough
between the front and hind legs to ac-
eommodate u good pigs.
Select boar of the desired type and
then adhere to that one breed. The

| lions. The Durocs and Poland Chinas
er range for the selection of breeding
stock, but Berkshires and Hampshires
are good and have the advantage OF
being a little better rustlers than the
Poland Chinas. The DurOcs have larg
err filters on the average than the PO-
land hinas and meet with equal favor
on the market. The breed is of less
Importance than individuality in the
boar. Whatever the breed, the boar
should be individual and of the de-
sired market type; better than the
sows. He should be one of a large lit
ter.
Having found sows that are good
thrifty pigs which mature quickly and
fatten well, keep those sOws and select
pigs from their filters to replace the
less profitable sOws In the herd. Feed
ing quality Is the most essential thing
to consider. for the better the feeding
quality the more profits we can ex-
pect. The average feeder will agree
that the pig which attains weight of
200 to 800 pounds with the least
amount of feed Is the most profitable
one to raise. Be careful not to select
too coarse an animal, for coarseness
means hog that is not an easy feeder.
In the improvement of q herd nothing
Is of more importance than feed. 1t
matters not how good herd may be,
II judgment is not used In feeding
you can never expect to keep up the
standard. much less improve 1t.
Avoid Feeding Corn.
Do not feed much corn to breeding
herd. A good alfalfa pasture in sum-
mer and a wheat or rye pasture in
winter with alfalfa hay makes pig
develop into strong, healthy animal.
Pigs that have access to alfalfa all
the time are seldom bothered with
weak bones. 1t always pays to re-
member that an even load of purebred
hogs of uniform size, carrying finish
and quality, makes an attractive dis
play and appeals very strongly to the
buyer. He will make a special effort
to buy hogs Of this kind even If it is
necessary to spring the market to do
SO. He can estimate within one or two
per cent what such hogs will yield and
can figure the dressed cost very close
ly. On the other hand, load of hogs
of assorted sizes and breeds are diff
ticult to judge and he is forced to
make liberal allowances when buying
this class of porkers at the ranch. Cen
orally load of this kind does noe
bring what it is worth, as 1t is heavily
discounted by the buyer.
