Rye makes a very 5000 flour aud IS
extensively used for bread making pur-
poses abroad Ii has not been used
much Tor this purpose in The United
States because OF the abundance of
wheat flour We have always had. Rye
flour may be mixed with cornmeal, bar
ley flour. wheat flour or various Other
substitutes to advantage. I am using
it extensively in my home at the pres

makes excellent biscuits and wafflcs

mentioned substitutes There should

These Hogs Need a More Varied Ration

You do not state the conditions under
which YOU are keeping your hogs. II
you are confirming them TO floored pens
or TO very cirCumScribed lots the trou-
BILE is no doubt due in a large measure
to this fact. Hogs to be healthy re-
qure a considerable range and they
must have easily accessible supplies Of
mineral matter. When turned out IN
the open they root in the ground and
obtain as a rule a good part of the ma
terial Of this character which they
need. When confined in floored pens
they are debarred from doing so. Hence
they do not secure enough mineral mat
ter to properly uourish and sustain
them. and hence there is a tendency for
them to become stiff. break down in
the hind quarters and run down as 20
condition Remember that when
proper ration is not fed malnutritiOn in
one form or another sets in. and a hog
cannot he healthy under such condi-
tions.
OF course. if your hogs are infested
with worms they should be treated to
this end. Simple remedies are avail
able for this purpose Turpentine is
probably as good as anything you could
use. If their digestion seems to be
upset a good dosage with salts or oil
win probably affect an Improvement by
cleansing the alimentary tract. The
next thing TO do is to provide a range
for these hogs and give as much green
feed as possible. Vary this as largely
as practicable. Feed on ration which
consists Of equal parts of corn meal
and peanut meal This makes "A rich
