BEST FEED FOR YOUNG PIGS
When Little Animals Begin to Nose
Around for Something to Eat Sup
ply SheIled Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
met of Agriculture.
One of the best feeds for young pigs
is shelled corn. When pigs are about
three weeks old, sometimes less, they
begin to nose around for something to
eat, and at this time. in order to make
them gain more rapidly, shelled corn
should be supplied.
1t should be in self-feeder in pen
where the pigs can go to it and will
not be bothered by any of the rest of
the hogs. This can be arranged by a
creep just large enough to admit the
Rigs handily. Don't forget that these
little fellows grow quite rapidly and
from time to time the creep must be
made larger.
After the pigs are four or five weeks
old, especially if they do not have good
grass pasture, the addition of some
shorts, tankage or oil meal is advisa-
BILE. Nothing would be better, how
ever, than skinned milk.
The self-feeder in which is kept corn
and other feeds should be maintained
right along until weaving time, and
after that if the pig is intended for
market purposes. Pigs to be used for
breeding purposes may be kept on a
self-feeder all the time with splendid
results, but in some cases they get too
fat and logy and Go net ,ake the prop
er exercise. The most profitable pig is
the one that never quits growing from
narrowing time until he is driven over
the scales.

All About A Ford

Mr.. Brooke, short time ago,
bought a bran new Ford. This
fact was duly chronicled in the
Gazette at the time. A few days
ago he had two experiences that
come sooner or later to every owner
of a car but in this case they came
sooner than was expected. First
an inner tube was found wrapped
around the front axle at time
when he was far from the base of
supplies. While exasperating this
was not thrilling.
The next day. however, the car
got one of those unaccountable
frisky streaks and started down the
long grade in Brady's Gulch. II
matters continued as at the be.
ginning by the time he would get
to the foot Of the grade he would
be violating the speed limit and to
break city ordinance was not tc
be considered. The only other
alternative was to head for the
bank. But after climbing the bank
to an unreasonable height the car
turned over.

Far more important than to
kill weeds is to avoid having
weeds to kill. In other words.
; the farmer should aim to pre-
vent rather than cure the evil.
A farm can be made almost free
of weeds by strictly observing
the following principles: (D
Prevent weeds from going to
seed on the farm; (2) prevent
) weed seeds being brought to the
farm; and (3) in the case of
perennial weeds, prevent them
from making top growth and

When fed in the dry lot, a common
custom is to give the pigs all the feed
they will clean up in a reasonably
short time. For pig weighing Is to
80 pounds live weight, full ration for
one day is about six pounds of grain
for each 100 pounds of weight; for
larger pigs the ration will continue
to grow smaller in proportion to weight
until the 800 to 35O-pound pig will only
consume daily ration equal to about
"A per cent of his weight.

THE SECRET OF HOW TO
GROW IMMATURE TREES

For many centuries the japanese
have closely guarded the secret OF
growing miniature trees. By follow
ing the plan here described, how
ever, almost any one can raise dimin-
utive trees with little trouble.
Get a few large, thick-skinned
oranges and halve them. Remove
the pulp and cover the outside of the
skin with thick shellac. That will
keep the skin from shrinking. Fill
the skins with fine, rich soil, and
plant therein a seed of whatever tree
you wish to raise-or, rather, two or
three seeds, to ensure at least one
good specimen. Make a stand of
some kind so that the growing tree
can be kept in an upright position,
and set the plants where they will
get plenty of sun; but do not keep
them in a room that is likely to be-
come overheated. Water them regu-
larly,b but not too profusely. After a
time the roots will begin to come
through the orange peel. When that
happens, cut the roots off flush with
the outer surface of the orange peel.
but be careful not to injure the film
of shellac. 1t is the cutting of the
roots that stunts the tree. When the
tree has reached maturity, you can
transfer it to a more attractive hold
er.
Conifers such as cedars, pines and
cryptomerias can be readily stunted;
so also can other evergreens, as lick
and Citrus trifoliata. Some minia-
ture cedars have been known to last
more than 500 years. Fruit trees,
such as the orange and the plum,
blossom and bear perfect fruit.

tonight to the Democratic voters of
Kentucky" in which he urged all OF
them to go to the polls on August 3,
and cast their votes for Senator Ollie

Senator James, and wanted all Demo
Gratis in the state to do likewise.
Mr.. Kimball said he entered the
race because he did not want the
Democratic nomination to be "A mere
matter of form. or handed out by a
committee, but he wanted the will of
the people expressed.
He said he had no apologies to
make to certain politicians in the
state for not getting their permission
TO make the race. He said they had
the idea that license to run for Office
should be issued in the same form as

Farmers shauld plan now the fields
that they will SOW in wheat and
should make arrangements early to
secure sufficient quantity of the
best seed wheat that can be obtained
and should order the phosphate fer
lizer that they will require for their
crop. Delay means failure and failures
in the wheat crop from all save mt

Bullets From Bread As Important As
From Lead.

1t is not possible for every man to
fight for his country. Some must
fight and others must work to sup
port them. The farmers of Kentuc-
ky have duty to perform that is
just as necessary as fighting and that
is to raise food for those who fight,
for BULLETS FROM BREAD ARE AS
IMPORTANT AS BULLETS FROM
LEAD.
Every man in Germany is striving
his utmost TO win the war and the
German farmer is doing his part by
raising as much food as possible.
The only way for the Kentucky farm
er to do his part in winning the war
is by raising more food than the Ger
man farmer and as wheat is the most
important food the real test of
strength between the American
farmer and the German farmer will
some this fall when the wheat is
sown. II is imperative, therefore,
that Kentucky farmers SOW the larg-
est wheat acreage on record and pro-
duce the maximum yield per acre.
Every field that might be sown in
wheat but that stands idle will stand
there as a blot upon the patriotism
of the man who owns il and every
field that is not so cultivated that
will produce a maximum crop will be
an ally to the German Kaiser No
farmer should say he cannot afford
10 grow wheat because he cannot pro-
duce sufficient number of bushels
per acre TO make il pay as this is not
an argument against growing wheat
but an argument against his method
