DO NOT OVERHEAD RADIATOR
Good Deal Of Trouble May Result Dur.
Ing Summer Months II Necessary
P~recaution ls Not Taken.

The motor car Is heir to certain sea-
sOnable troubles, for which provision
must be made In advance, If one Is to
ride In comfort. In winter the freez-
Ing Of cooling water must be guarded
against by using an antifreezing mix
ture. In summer just the other ex-
IRENE, Overheating, must be guarded
against. There are a number of things
that may cause this trouble, and to
prevent 1t all the sources must be
overhauled.
To begin with, the radiator ought
to be drained, to see If the water runs
freely throughout the entire length. BY
pouring water into the empty radiator
1t may be determined very easily
whether or not the water Is flowing
through freely. Often enough there
may be an obstruction, preventing rap
i'd flow, which turns out to be
simply some minor sediment around
the drain-cock. In this case asmatch
thrust upward will clear away the OBJ
struction. If there is an overflow
pipe, this is a possible location Of trou-
BILE, as dirt often gathers around the
lower opening. The rubber connec-
tons in the cooling system ought to
be taken out and the inside examined.
If the fabric is broken and hanging,
renew the connections. The fan belt
should be carefully looked over, given
n dose Of oil, and frightened up II

Will have no cows. Is 1t not a 'penny
wise and pound foolish" policy to kill
the future cow in order to get the
dirty dollar in our hand right on the
spot? The farmer gets the dollar or
two for the calf, and 10 cents a gallon
for his milk in 80 days and this knocks
him off his economic perch. Keeping
the calf until 1t becomes a COW means
an investment with slow returns, but
with mighty satisfactory returns con-
sidering the present prices Of good
milk cows.
SO now, behold the inevitable
drought and famine from cutting off
the stream at it's source. Yes, the
fact cannot be denied that we have
killed so many calves that both our
milk supply and u meat supply Is on
the blink and a good milk COW Is al
most worth her weight In gold.
Here Is the proposition: In the
long run. is a cows milk too valuable
to feed to a cows calf?

GRAZING ABILITY OF
HOGS NOT REALIZED
Men Who Understand Importance
of Ample Growth and Ten
der Foliage Make Profits.

CBy {. w. HICKMAN. Animal Husban-
dry Department. University OF Idaho)
Perhaps the high price Of grain will
awake farmers to the full apprecia-
ton Of the grazing ability Of hogs.
There never was SO great an incentive
to save grain and S green forage.
1t is generally understood now that
profitable h~Og-feeding in summer in
wolves the use of pasture Of some kind,
but there is more difference In hog
pastures than many people suppose.
However a few men realize the i'm.
portance of ample growth and tender
palatable forage in a hog pasture, and
they profit by the knowledge.
Very often the only hog-tight field
on q grain farm is the small grass
pasture near the barn that serves for
all kinds of stock. Horses and sheep
keep the grass too short for cattle
or hogs. Instances have probably
come to notice when hogs on such q
pasture last year did not return mar
ket price for the grain they ate. Other
farmers nearby whose hogs ran In al
falfa, clover and rape figured that
they got much more than market price
for the grain fed, and in some in
stances twice as much. This means
that their hogs in good pasture prob
ably made twice as much pork from
each hundred pounds of grain as was
made by the hogs on short grass.
The hog will eat an abundance of
green forage if given a chance. The
important thing to bear in mind is
that the better the forage the more
the hog will eat of it, and then the
more grain there is left for other pur-
poses. Good s%ucculent pasture crops
like alfalfa, clover or rape often make
400 to 800 pounds of pork per acre be-
sides what can be accounted for
through the grain fed.

Protect young swine from cholera by
so arranging the breeding pens and

the pigs more susceptible to disease.

"DO not put new stock-either hogs
or cattle-with hogs already on the
farm. Newly purchased hogs should
be put into separate Enclosures well
separated from the herd already on

for three weeks. This Is necessary, as
stock cars, unloading chutes, and pens
are likely to be infected with hog chol-
era organisms.

EXCELLENT CROPS FOR HOGS

The legumes are excellent crops for
hogs. Being rich In protein hogs rel

The practice of grazing soy beans
and cowpeas is a good one provided

Often this is not the case. 1t must
be remembered that soy bean and
cowpea plants are very rich and IL
fed alone would be rather expensive,
considering the value of the protein.
