WATER FOR THE HOG HERD.
Especial Effort Should Be Made to Pro-
vide Supply In Winter.

Especial Effort Should Be Made to Pro-
vide Supply In Winter.
Hogs, in common with all animals,
require plenty of good, pure water to
do their best. In winter there is always
danger that the hogs will not get water
enough, even on farms where water is
abundant. Water, which is so neces-
sary to the proper development of the
hog, is about the cheapest thing that
can be provided. In summer it is
much simpler matter to keep hogs sup
piled with water than it is in winter.
In winter water freezes up in the
troughs, and many automatic watering
devices freeze so they will not work. 1t
requires considerable ingenuity to de-
wise a scheme for keeping fresh, pure
water before hogs in the winter, but it
can be done. Automatic watering de-
vices for winter use must have the float
and valve placed in a tank or barrel
that can be coverd with manure OR
straw so that it cannot freeze and pre-
vent the float working. The pipe lead
ing to the fountain Or vessel where the
hog drinks must also be protected from
freezing.
Water is SO important to the animal
body that hog may be fed the best
kind of a balanced ration and still
make poor gains from lack of water.
Water is one Of thenecessities that have
not advanced in price, so this cannot be
given as an excuse for neglecting to
make proper provision for supplying it
in abundance.

Waterino Live Stock.

A Ihddhole or ditch which cannot be
reached without wading in mud is not
a suitable watering place for stock. An
animal which has to travel some dis
lance to get water and then must wade
through mud belly deep to reach the
water is not going to get all the water
it needs. 1t will pay in dollars and
cents to make it easy, comfortable and
convenient for the live stock to get all
the water they will take during the
winter.

Proper feeding is very important 1t
is more important than any other one
thing connected with the winter care
of pregnant sows, writes a correspond
ent Of Hoard's Dairyman. If the ami
mails do not get sufficient amounts of
the necessary elements to maintain
their own bodies and at the same time
build up the bodies of the pigs they
are carrying the pigs will be small,
weak and few in number. The ration
should possess large amount of pro-
tein, which element is demanded more
than any other.
During the winter l feed my sows a
good deal of alfalfa. I find it one of
the best feeds for the pregnant SOW.
feed it to them both dry and steamed.
Steamed alfalfa is given when the
weather is very inclement, but on
bright days when the weather is not
very cold the alfalfa is fed dry. The

Hens In Winter.

Where winter is rigorous get the
pullets and laying hens into their win
ter quarters early. Do not change
them from one place to another. Sep
arate the surplus ROSTERS from them.
Do not get in and chase the whole
flock when you want bird to use on
the table. Keep the house dry and
free from drafts, and the cold will not
do any damage. Keep the laying hens
feet dry. This means plenty Of litter
in the scratching shed, with plenty OF
work for her to do.

Buy Breeding Stock Early.

The old adage is '"The early bird gets
the worm" In the poultry business the
early buyer gets the choice birds. The
late buyer will necessarily have to
take what is left and in this way will
lose money. Poultrymen know that 1t
does not cost a cent more to keep pure
bred stock than it does to keep scrubs.
Birds must be bred for size, quality
and laying strain. When pure bred
hen will outweigh common hen she
certainly is the one to keep.

Oct. 20 an Important Date

Oct. 20 is an important date. 1t
is the day Of the Red Cross Market
and Auction in Morris. Everybody
is planning to give something for
the sale that day and all are going
to buy what their neighbors have
given. 1t is going to be a big boost
for tn ecomfort of the boys in France
and for those who will go later. 1t
will help to give the boys in the
trenches warm sox and snug sweat
ers in the cold winter, it will help
to put clean sanitary bandages on
the wounds that are received in our
cause, it will help to put soft pill
lows in the hospitals where some of
our boys will have to spend some
painful and weary weeks. Be sure
to remember the date Oct. 20. The
people of Morris and adjoining
townships will contribute to making
the day big event.
