REARING SPRING PIGS.
Youngsters Should Have Dry Bed and
Be Carefully Fed.


Be Carefully Fed.
A comfortable house with dry bed
cling means much to the spring pigs,
writes j. Coleman in the Farm and
Fireside. In fact. all other conditions
HAY be perfect. and yet If this point is
neglected failure may result
The pigs will soon learn to eat The
amount Of feed can be increased as
they advance in age, but they shouldn't
be fed more than they will clean up
nicely. An occasional scalding and
summing Of the trough will keep 1t
clean.
The first four months Of pigs life
determine largely what his after sue
cess is. Never let him lose his pig fat
during this time. Prepare for ample
grazing as soon as the soil is warm
enough by saving rape or rape and
grain mixed. This can be grazed by
the pigs within six to eight weeks aft
err sown. Allow them to run ON any
green crops, especially clover or vetch.
as soon as they will Craze.
A succession of field grazing crops
maturing through the summer and fall
will supplement their daily grain ra-
ton and will enable them to produce
their gain at a profit. Pigs fed ON
grain alone. with little or no grazing
crops. will return little or no profit.

Distances That Trained, Hardened Men

Can Cover In . Day.
The Army Drill Book tells that train
cd and hardened infantry can cover
from twenty to twenty-five miles a day
when In small bodies. As the size Of
the command increases the distance
covered becomes less, as the rate is
lowered and time Is needed to get all
the units into and out Of camp.
With a regiment or less Of average
troops-regulars-m over aver
age roads, the rate should be from two
and three-Quarters to three miles an
hour, while a division cannot be ex-
pected to accomplish more than twelve
and half miles day.
or course, all these figures will vary
with different conditions Of roads and
weather. Unframed troops could not
approach them until hardened. Though
they might do better for a day or two,
they could not keep up the steady pace
of the seasoned regulars for long dis
lance.
Marching with full equipment is hard
physical work, and, like every other
form Of labor, requires a proper period
of training. The seasoned force will
keep up a steady pace, with ten minute
halts every hour, a fifteen minute stOr
being made at the end Of the first half
or three-Quarters Of an hour. Green
