Billy Mink Does Much Fishing.

Fishing. fishing all the day;
Sometimes work and sometimes play
Usually when you or go fishing It
really is kind OF play We go for
fun. But the Great World would fare
badly If it depended for its supply of
fish to eat wholly on those who go fish
ing for pleasure. So ever so many
people make their living by catching
fish and when they go fishing ii is work
and not play. Ordinarily Billy Mink
doesn't call fishing work. He enjoys
fishing. 1t Is the same way with Little
Joe otter. When fish are very plentiful
these two brown coated fishermen will
sometimes catch more than they can
eat. They do it Just for fun. But when
fish are scarce it is different. Then
ashiag becomes work
Grandfather Frog. sitting on his big
sre>a lily-pad in the Smiling Pool. sees
much that is going on about him. He
sees much and says little. 1t was
shortly after Peter Rabbit had paid him
laugh because of the way Peter had
been fooled by Billy Mink that Grand
father Frog noticed that Billy Mink
seemed to be doing great deal Of fish
ing in the Smiling Pool.
He would catch fish and then. in
stead Of eating it. he would disappear
with 1t. In a short time he would be
back again and then the same thing
wopld happen. Just al soon as he
caught a fish he would disappear with
1t. He wasted no time in play. It v,as
plain to see that he was fishing for
more than just the fun of ASKING
Grandfather Frog watched him thought

winked knowingly. You can't fool

TOO old and too wise to be fooled as you

Once more he grinned and WINGED at
Billy, and this time Billy grinncd him

the joke on Peter.

GRANTED BREEDING SWINE
Breeders Want Hogs With Strong,
Dense so1os--Fceds, High in
Mineral Elements, Favored.

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period Of use
fuIness of the animals for breeding
purposes, heightened, breedcrs want
hogs with strong, dense bones. Since
cereal grains are low in mineral ele-
meats, they shol be supplemented
by feeds rich in T. constituents.
When confined in yards hogs are
often fed largely or entirely on grain
rations, So That their bones are soft
and easily broken Rations Of corn
supplemented By tanknge and by skim
milk produce the most bone.
Because Of the high protein and
lime content, alfalfa ana clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs and in the spring green
leguminQus crops may be used. For
feeding in connection with grains to
breeding hogs in confinement, lime,
corncob charcoal, bone flour and wood
ashes are also recommended.
