damp Il dangerous condition exists, and
it will pay in such cases to use plank.
In many instances the old fashioned
plank floor is a fertile cause of this all
ment. as VIVID frequently gets beneath
it and comes up between the cracks.
Under such sleeping conditions hogs
make tremendous effort to keep
warm, and this can he accomplished
only by piling up deeply and therefore
by getting too hot. By all means board
up or bank up the space surrounding
the floor so that the wind cannot get
under and create dangerous drafts.
DR.. Lipp points out that one can 20

1t will never do to nail up all windows
and TO close all openings, because good
air is an absolute essential if hogs are
to remain thrifty. The important thing
is to supply ventilation without allow
ing a direct draft on the pigs when
they are III their sleeping quarters.
Openings on both sides of the pen
make very drafty sleeping quarters I'M

no draft. and it is the draft. above all
things. that is dangerous to the hog.

Ways to Seal the Silo.

In good silo the contents are pro-
tected from the air on all sides except
the top. The dir always spells some
of the silage Ola the top unless feeding
is begun as soon as the silo is filed.
Various methods for preventing this
waste have been tried. One is to cover
the silage with straw and then soak
this protecting layer well with water
This keeps out the air fairly well and
the waste is only slight Another
method is TO SOW oats on top of the
silage. When they terminate the dense
mass excludes the air.
The simplest and probably the most
practical method is to remove the ears
from the last three or four loads Of
cornstalks brought to the ensilage cut
ter and then run just the stalks
through. In that way the corn itself
is not wasted and the loss from the
stalks is but slight.

Grow Alfalfa Says Expert.

Cast your alfalfa before swine and
YOUR wife will wear pearls says the
Kansas alfalfa expert, Cobrun, in urg-
ing farmers to begin growing this prof.
table legume. 'Alfalfa is adapted to
almost any region, but must have soil
sweeiened with lime and inoculated
with soil from a successful alfalfa field
or sweet clover corner" Many farmers
h I'VE failed with alfalfa because of poor
seed and careless methods in providing
a proper seed bed. Mr.. Cobrur points
Out the fact that alfalfa is an ideal feed
for horses. cattle, sheep, swine and
chickens. Land that grows alfalfa is
worth 50 per cent. more than land that
has not been made to grow this queer
OF legumes he claims.
