LARGE PIG PROFITS
MADE IN MINNESOTA
Letting Animals Gather Their
Own Feed Found Economical
and Satisfactory.

With the returns amounting to FIVE
cents a minute for the time spent, A..
]. Mcclure, of the University of Min
nesota, found that raising 100 pigs
every year was the most profitable
work the men did on his farm last
year. The pigs were raised, figures
completed at the end of the year
show, with one hours time a day. At
the prices for pigs now, the returns
this year on this 335 hours time was
nearly So an hour.
The reduction of work to a mini
mum Is the method that the Mcclure
farm uses to increase the return on
the labor. The pigs collect their own
feed in the spring and summer from
rape and alfalfa fields and in the fall
they gather the feed to prepare them
for market by hogging down field of
Is acres of corn. Eight acres of rape
and alfalfa keep the pigs and the
brood sows in the summer, furnishing
in fair season all the feed they will
eat. In September the pigs are turned
into 15-acre field of corn, beside
which is four-acre rape field. The
sows that are to be kept over during
the winter are left to clean up thN
waste after the pigs are marketed.
Mr.. Mcclure finds that letting the
pigs do their own work is just as sat
isfactory and economical and much
more profitable. He even arranges
the winter quarters so that as little
attention as possible may be required
by the sows. Straw sheds make good
shelters for them and the corn cribs
and feed-boxes are placed as near the
/ sheds ms possible.

az FRANK D. ToMsoNl

(By FRANK ID. TOMsON)
IL there exists in the mind of anyone
any doubt as to the general inclination
to produce better stock of all breeds,
the prevailing activity of the trade will
serve to clear away these doubts.
There is unquestionably, at the present
time, q keener and more substantial
demand for registered breeding stock
than has ever existed heretofore. and
with this demand there has been a
steady advance in values. The require
ments have become more exacting,
which has forced higher individual
standards and finer discrimination in
the matter of blood lines.
AS an illustration of the present con-
ception of values, Tomson Bros, a
breeding firm, Carbondale and Dover,
Kansas, disposed of 40 registered
Shorthorn calves to w. O. Rosenberg
err Of TifIin, o., breeder. of high
class Shorthorns, for an average of
5000 per head. These calves ranged
in age from eight to fifteen months,
with the exception of five short year
ling heifers, and with four exceptions
We're all bred in the Tomson herd. The
entire lot had been selected as an Of
fering for a public sale TO be held later
in the season, but the buyer, who has
appreciated a constantly growing trade
larger than he could supply, found in
these calves just the type and the
lines of breeding that he needed and
made this attractive offer which was
accepted.
Demand 10 For Best Breeds.
He stated that he would be able to
dispose of them at private sale at o
very considerable advance over this
figure. He said there was time
that he found ready sale for a cheap
er class of registered cattle, but thai
he had noted from year to year an ia

BURN CHOLERA HOGS
TO CONTROL DISEASE
Burying CarCasses Is Not Good
Practice, as Dogs Are Liable
to Dig Them Up.

outbreak. The farm where the dis
ease first existed was visited. We no
ticed buzzaryls flying over the place
and upon investigation, dead hogs
We're found half eaten at the foot of
a cliff. Dogs had made path to this
place. Owing to the peculiar arrange
ments of this particular spot, it was
inaccessible to other live stock.
Until people are more careful and
burn their dead hogs at once, and
neighbors tie up their dogs, especially
at night, when hog cholera exists in a
community, this disease can not be
controlled.
Burning hog is a difficult task I'M
less place is prepared for that pur-
pose. A trench six feet long, two feet
wide and Is inches deep is dug, a
piece of woven wire fence stretched
across this trench and staked on each
side. The hog is laid on this fence
and the fire built in the trench be-
meath. A few incisions made in the
side of the hog with a knife will per
init the escape of grease as soon as
the carcass gets hot.

no more trouble, pointed out Mr.. Pat
erson. Sucking lambs should have
access to grain at all times. This is
best provided by means of a creep.
Plenty of clean, fresh water should all
ways be provided, and the lambs
should be allowed to have green grass
If available.
Lambs should be weaned at from
four to five months of age, depending,
somewhat, on the condition of the
ewes and the size of the lambs. Where
they are large and growthy, the ewes
thin, the lambs may be weaned earlier
in order that the ewes may be put in
better condition before breeding.
Where the lambs are small and the
ewes in good condition, however, they
may be allowed to run together longer.
The lambs should be well fed at wean-
ing time to avoid setbacks.
Watch the udders of the ewes to
see that they do not cake. If they
do, the lambs will be prevented from
sucking. Particular attention must
be given to prevent the udder from
spelling at weaving time. To stop the
| flow of milk the eve should be put on
dry ration for two days.

WILL CAST MONSTER INGOT
Turned Into New Type of Sixteen
Inch Naval Gun.

There has just been cast at the Beth
lehem steel works Il monster ingot for
the first of the 16-inch rifles that are
to arm the great new battle cruisers
of the United States navy, under con
struction at Camden. So far as known,
writes Bethlehem (Pa.) correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Record, the
foremost ship of this class now afioat
is the British cruiser Lion, with en-
gines of 10000 horse power. Her
speed is bit better than 40 miles an
hour and she carries 14-inch guns. The
American battle cruisers will have en-.
gtnes of 100000 horse power and each
will be armed with four 16-inch rifles
which will shoot 20 miles. From pres
ent indications there will be six OF
them and Bethlehem has the order for
all the guns, which will be the larg-
est on any ships of this kind in any
navy.

clinatiOn on the part of his buyers to
obtain and breed the best available.
and his trade is now practically limit
ed to this class.
Mr.. Rosenberger's experience is the
experience of large number of breed
ers. Nor is this limited to the Short
horn breed. The same tendency pre-
walls among all breeds to proportion
ate extent. Many farmers who have
heretofore handled nothing but grade
cattle and have used inferior bulls are
now forced by market conditions to
use better class of bulls-registered
sires-that the cattle they produce
may command a satisfactory valua-
ton when they go to the beef markets.
The farmers who have been breeding
grades of a high order, and there are
many such, the result of continuous
use of registered bulls, have come to
recognize the advantage of producing
full-blood or registered cattle, and are
embarking now along this line. Then
as stated above, many who have pro-
duced ful1-blood cattle of fairly good
type are now turning their attention
to the production of cattle of still bet
ter type and more dependable blood
lines.
1t is a broad general movement to-
ward improved standards-the result
of more exacting conditions at the mar
ket centers. There are so many forces
of an educational nature at work now
that we may reasonably look forward
to continuous progress along the line
of live stock Improvement. Then there
is the cost of production which in it.
self would inevitably eliminate the in
ferior live stock standards. When land
is high and help expensive and grains
and forage maintain price level here
tofore unheard of, it is easily conceived
that the animal of an Indifferent stand
ard can no longer be grown profitably.

In May or June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk in

stones remain in for two months, but,
since the young oysters cannot endure

more even. At the end of three years,
when the shells are about two inches
across, they are taken from the water,
nuclei for pearls inserted in them and
replaced in the water, 80 of them to
every six square feet of bottom.
There they are left for four years.
Then, being seven and half years old,
they are removed and searched for
pearls.

THESE BOOKS WERE DIGESTED
History Furnishes Instances of Au.
thors Being Compelled Literally
to Eat Their Words.

To literally digest a book is an ac-
complishment which few can boast of
having performed. Nevertheless,
good deal of literature has been de-
stroyed in this way at one time or an
other.
Barnabe Visconti compelled two
papal delegates to eat the bull of ex-
communication which they had brought
him, together with it's silken cords and
leaden seal. As the bull was written
ON parchment, it was all the more diff
ticult to digest. A similar anecdote is
related of an Austrian general, who
had signed note for 1000 forms, and,
when it fell due, compelled his cred
itors to eat it.
A Scandinavian writer, the author
of a political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat
ing his manuscript boiled in BROTH
Isaac Volmar, who wrote some satires
against Bernard, duke of Saxony, was
not allowed the courtesy of the kitch-
en-, but was forced to swallow them
uncooked. Still worse was the fate of
Philip Oldenburger, jurist of great
renown, who was condemned not only
to eat a pamphlet of his writing, but
also to be logged during his repast.
