Entening PigS.

There is no advantage in skimp-
ing the pig when it comes time to fat
ten him, the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture points out. Dur
ing the growing period of his life,
pastures with little grain were in
order, for scale and constitution were
the main objects to be obtained. The
last few weeks before butchering the
idea is to lay on a good covering Of
fat, to increase the proportion Of
high-priced lard, and to add tender
ness and palatability to the meat. A
. fat hog sells to much better adyan-
tage on the market for these very
reasons.
To add this fat rapidly and most
economically, we must feed an album
dance of grain. The self-feeder is
simply a device to keep before the
pigs a constant supply of feed, in or
der that they may eat of such feeds
i'm such quantities as they desire.
Results Obtained With a Self-Feedef.
A brief resume of results obtained
by experiments with over 275 hogs,
part of them settled and the balance
hand fed in the best possible man
ner, shows:
First, that in comparison with the
handled pigs, the settled pigs ate
grain 10 per cent more rapidly;
Second, that they gained weight 2S
per cent more rapidly;
And last, that they consumed on
ly 90 per cent as much grain in gain
ing 100 pounds.
This shows three very definite adj
vantages in the use Of the self-feed-
err Pigs fed in this manner will
eat more grain per day than under
any other method of feeding, This
maximum consumption is not waste
ful Of grain; in fact II saves grain,
for an increase of 10 per cent in the
rate OF eating caused an increase OF
rs per cent in the rate OF gaining.

Treatment OF Seed.

Treatment of wheat against stink
ing smut is fairly easy, not eXpen-
sive, and fully 50 per cent effective.
The efficiency of the treatment is, in
fact, practically 100 per cent in most
of the wheat growing regions. The
percentage Of efficiency for the coun-
try as a whole, however, is reduced
by the fact that in large regions in
the Pacific Northwest the soil is pol
luted with smut germs to such an
extent that the effects of seed treat
ment are negatived. Seed treatment
costs not to exceed cents an acre
for materials and labor. To this
cost, however, must be added the
cost of grain. the termination power
of which may be destroyed by the
treatment. This amounts at the
most to 20 per cent. In every case
the value of the wheat saved hy
treatment would amount to several
times the cost of treatment.
Statistics show that the average
annual loss of rye from smut is
about ! per extraordinarily less
than the loss of wheat. 1t is well
worth while, however, to treat rye
seed also.

Raise Some Chickens This Fall.

There should be big crop of fall
chickens raised this year. 1t is time
now to be at work. Few poultry
raisers have much success with chicks
Matched during the very hot wealth
er, but chicks Matched next month
can be successfully handled and made
to pay.
On the average farm the chickens
largely live on what would other
wise be wasted. Therefore, the rails
ing of few more chickens is a pos
tive addition to the country's food
supply. 1t is also positive addition
TO the contents of the farmers or
the farm woman's pocketbook.

An Increased Meat Supply.

To stimulate quick increases in the
meat supply, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture will extend
throughout the country the pig clubs
which have been operated in Is States
and the poultry clubs which have
been operated in States. In addi-
ton to the SO specialists in hog pro-
.duction and 50 specialists in poul-
try production who thus will be plac-
ed in the field at once, an addition
al specialist on hog production will
be placed in each of the five princi-
pal hog raising States.
Hogs and poultry have been singled
out as live stock on which special eff
forts will be concentrated in the cam
paign for increased meat production,
because they give the quickest re-
turns. The various pig and poultry
clubs have already interested in the
rearing of these animals large num-
bers of young people who otherwise
would not contribute to an increase
in food production.

The Home Dononstrstor Pays Her
WAY.

In Tennessee county home DEM
onstrator was employed, the county
paying half her salary. At the end
of the first years work the county
court was wrestling with the misuse
of lot of money voted for roads
and trying to hold down the tax rate.
AS legislative bodies are so fond of
doing, it began its econonizing by
cutting off the appropriations for
constructive work, the ones that
bring in the biggest returns. By a
narrow. majority the home demon
strator's s40O was refused. The
people of the little county town had
seen the value of the work, however,
and speedily raised the money neces-
sary to secure the government ap-
preparation and keep the demonstra-
tor.
This county is largely mountain
Gus. often the agent has no means
of transportation. Sometimes she
walks as far as ten miles to attend
meeting. Now the farmers of the
county are making up money to buy
a car for her.

sons, pay their way many times over

Thrift Thought.

If clean wheat is available, says
the United States Department of AS-
riculture, it may be ground at home
in a coffee mill and the following
economical and nutritious bread
made:
over a mixture of 1 tablespoonful
sugar and Il teaspoonfuls salt in a
mixing bowl pour l Il cups of hot
water or skim milk. When the III
quid has become lukewarm. add Il
cake dry yeast or l gill liquid yeast
and y cups of home-ground wheat
-four. Set over night to rise. In
the morning add Y cups flour, beat
well, put into creased pan, allow to
rise until the bulk is doubled, and
bake.

mill so that smut balls, shriveled
grain, chan, etc, will be removed.
After the grain is clean il may be
spread on a floor or a tarpaulin in a
layer or pile several inches thick and
sprinkled with a solution of formal
dehyde made by mixing 1 pound CT
commercial formaldehyde with 4s
gallons OF water. An ordinary
sprinkling can or a spraying machine
is used and the grain is shoveled ov-
or and over until every kernel is
wet. The grain is then placed in a
pile and covered with sacks, blan-
llets, or a tarpaulin for 2 hours or
over night II is then dried sufii-
GENTLY to be run through the drill,
after which it may be sown. If the
grain is not passed through fam
ming mill II should be placed in a vat
or tank of the formaldehyde solu-
ton instead of being sprinkled. The
smut balls will rise to the surface
and may be skinned off.
If the grain is not to be planted
Immediately, it must be dried suiii-
GENTLY to prevent spelling when plac-
ed in bins. If planted while damp
and swollen, more grain by measure
must be used to allow for the expan-
sion.
