FURNISH PROTEIN FOR SOWS
Alfalfa and Glover Hay Can Be Made
, Use CT to Supply Necessary Con-
! stituent at Low Cost.

+: In wintering the breeding herd there
arises the question of cheap source
of protein. Where available, alfalfa
and clover hay can be made use of in
furnishing this necessary constituent
at a low cost. The hay may be used
whole or chopped, put in racks, and
fed according to the appetites of the
hogs.
If the sows have nursed a large lit
ter, it will be necessary to feed grain
ration in addition to alfalfa. The
amount Will vary from one and one
half to two and One-half pounds per
10 Wounds live weight daily, depending
upon individuality and the condition
of the soWs when winter feeding be-
gins.
! A sow will lose weight while nursing
a litter, and She must regain this
weight before her next narrowing time
and carry her next litter in addition.
In case sOWS are winterCd without al
falfa hay, a grain mixture of corn ten
parts and tankage one part, or corn
five parts and oil meal one part, or
corn eight parts, wheat middlings two
parts, and tankage one part may be
fed.-Pernsylvania State College.

BANISHING WORMS IN SWINE
Animals Become Infested by Taking
Them Up With Food and Drink
Preventive Is Urged.

Hogs become infested with worms
by taking them up with food and drink
Wcll-drained, clean lots reduce the op.
portunity for them to become infested
1t is well to keep a good worm pre-
ventive before the hogs at all times
Any tested commercial remedy may
be used. A successful preparation is
made by mixing two parts air-slakeG
lime, two parts salt, two parts char
coal and one part pulverized cop
peras.
If the herd is b;,dly infested, feed
to each 100 pounds five weight Of hog,
eight grains santonin and six grains
calomel, thoroughly mixed with a thin
slOp. These drugs can be obtained Of
most druggists. Let the hogs miss
their evening feed and give them this
treatment with the morning feed. Re
peat it a week later if necessary.

BEEAKING VIRGIN LAND IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

ing of small grain The chances &
storing moisture are increased By loos-
cning such compact surfaces as early
aag'seasgi-3z,G Whether blowing is nee
esSary, however, depends very much
upon the type of soil. Nest heavy clay
soils are best put in proper condition
by plowing. Sandy or light loan soils
should not be plowed in the fall and
left bare during the winter in regions
where soil blowing is likely to occur.
If however it becomes advisable to
pillow such soils in the fall, blowing OF
the ploWed area may be checked by
top dressing With barnyard manure.
Deep blowing should always be done
in the fall or very early in the spring
to allow more moisture to penetrate
and the soil to settle before planting
time.
On sloping land the blowing, listing
and cultivating should follow on level
along the slopes or around the hills.
The moisture saved makes this a
profitable practice, and very often tho
prevention Of runoff is necessary TO
avoid erosion, with the loss of the
richest portions OF the soil.
Alfalfa land to be prepared for corn
should be fallOwed one year or PlOwed
early the previous summer.
Growing plants draw large quanti-
ties of water from the soil and sub
soil. ALI growth Of weeds and volun-
teer grain on land to be planted to
corn should be prevented.
Deep blowing and subsoiling should
he done in the fall rather than at
corn planting time. Soil put in the
right condition to take in moisture to
considerable depth is also open to
the air and dries out rapidly. If nee
essary to plow in tine spring for corn
the blowing should be done early and
should not be deep, and the ground
should be packed Immediately. Plow-
ing under several inches OF SNOW is an
effective and sometimes practicable
way OF getting moisture into the
ground.

profit to pay FOR the extra feed and at
tentiOn.
sheep produce two cash crops
year-wool in the spring and lambs in
the fall. They can be grown and main
tanned upon u greater percentage Of
roughage and a smaller percentage Of
grain than any other class of live
stock. They will clean up the weeds
from the farm and convert other feeds
into a marketable product.
''As a source of fresh meat, which is
wholesome in character and flavor, a
flock of sheep is the best. This fresh
meat is the most healthful class Of
meat because fewer sheep are con-
demned than any other class of live
stock"

SHEEP RETURN GOOD PROFIT
More Profitable Than Any Other Glass

Kansas College.

"Sheep will return a greater profit
for each dollar invested than any other
class of live stock" in the opinion Of
A. M. Paterson, instructor in animal
husbandrysin the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. 'FOr this reason farm
ers should give more attention to the
sheep industry.
"None of the disadvantages, the most
Important of which are dogs, parasites
and disease, should discourage the
flock MASTER" said Mr.. Paterson.
"Proper care and management will con-
troll and largely eliminate these trou-
5lcS. The flock that has to rustic for
itself is the one that is hit the hardest
by pests. With little feed and atten-
tion the sheep will be in q more health

Dairy EARNING Profitable.

Dairying is an economical form OF
agriculture, and economy and thrift are
handmaidcEs of prosperity. 1t retains
upon the farm the larger portion of
Tie fertility Of the crop and thus the
prOductiveness of the fields is kept UP
without recourse to expensive CONNER
cial fertilizers. Dairy farms are lin
variably highly productive because the
fertility Is returned and because Il
plentiful supply Of humus Is supplied
to The soil. Dairy farming is cconomi-
cili in that it utiliZeS practically all
the land. Parts that are unsuitcd to

Salt is required by all animals. The
COW requires an ounce or more day,
and while she should be given all she
needs, she should not be forced to take
more Ihan she wants.
1t is best, therefore, to give only
small quantity in the feed, and to

FAIRMONT, w. Va. Oct. lin COM
mentine on conditions existing in the
Fairmont region during tho third week
in September. D. X. lawson. secretary
Of the Central West Virginia Coal Oper-
atOrs' Association. reveals what he be-
lieves to be one Of the main factors In
the shortage Of bituminous coal among
industrial plants in the following state
ment:
THE compiled figures of coal loaded
by tho 81 mines reporting to me for the
third week In September are very inter-
eSting and, in my opinion. undoubtedly
Giscloses one or the main reasons Tor
the serious shortage Of bituminous coal
among industrial plants. Out OF total
of 2.iS2 cars loaded during the week
tho Baltimore e Ohio railroad took 1.lI+
Of them. or ~ per cent Of the entire ton
mage Of these 60 mines. for their own
use. Even the foregoing statement does
not tell all TO tho uninitintcd; before We
arrive at the proper number Of cars ap-
piled on commercttl business we must
deduct the number Of arbitrary and as
signed cars, such az cars placed for
loading fuel for railroads other than the
Baltimore & Ohio and cars assigned for
loading to Lake Eric ports. These
amount to ISL cars which leaves but
T27 cars for these % mines for CONNER
cial londing for one week as compared
10 l.10o cars for 90 mines the previous
week.
The combined capacity Of these %
mines totals 1g9.750 tons: the 2,4S2 cars
shipped contained 124.l00 tons as conf
pared to 94.910 tons the previous week
or the total amount not shipped 50 per
cent, or G4.402 tons. is duo 10 tile fact
that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad fall
ed to furnish sufficient cars at the
mincs to run them to capacity; In cars
this amounts to 2l3 daily.
"Our shortage. referred 10 In last
weeks statement as 1000 cars. now
amounts to approximately 2.4Qo cars,dur
10 the fact that we received such a:snalI
norccntagr Of commercial cars during
the third wcck in September. We have
again laid this matter before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission calling
! their attention TO the gravity OF the
; situation in this region. and VIC nope
they will Wow il IN the light We do ana
