real young man, with pallid cheeks and
hollow, burning eyes. 0Reilly stepped

self. "The hotel keeper in Neuvitas
told me I'd find you here he said.
"Your name is
Branch; Leslie Branch. So Carba-
jail said you'd find me here, eh? Oh,
the greasy little liar. He didn't believe
it. He thought his cooking would have
killed me, long ago, and it nearly did"
This time Mr.. Branch's bony frame
underwent a genuine shudder and his
face was cOnvulSed with lOathing.

Mr.. Branch's beverage appeared at

Branch stared at it, then rolled q
fiercely smoldering eye upward.

pensive to feed a supplemental grain
ration. AT such times there is a great
temptation to place the hogs upon pas
ture alone. This practice will hardly
ever pay. for it generally takes more
grain and more time to finish off the
hogs than If they had been fed lib-
eral ration while on pasture.
The amount of grain used also will
depend upon the length of time the
feeder has in which to fit the hogs for
market. Hogs that are marketed from
ten to twelve months old are usually
maintained on pasture alone during the
grazing season. If any grain is given
at all 1t is very light. In this way the
greater percentage of growth is made
from the cheaply grown forage. Where
rapid finishing is desired, the liberal
use of grain is important.
Importance of Pasture.
Permanent pastures also play an Inn
portant part in a forage-crop success
sion. Such pastures as alfalfa, the
clOvers, blue grass. Bermuda. and a
number of others, have their greatest
use during the summer, when few tenn
pOrary crops, such as corn, soy beans,
cowpeas, and velvet beans, are avail
able. Permanent pastures do not fur
niSh grazing as early in the spring as
during late spring and summer and af-
ford an abundance of forage at a sea-
son when few other pasture crops are
ready to Craze. A permanent pasture
then takes the place of reserve for
age crop, being called upon to furnish
grazing at any time of the year when
other pastures fail or are exhausted
Dry-lot rations are not usually salts
factory from a financial standpoint.
Corn ordinarily forms the basis of the
ration, with protein supplied from one
of the concentrates, such as mill feeds,
oil meal, soy beans, alfalfa, or like
feeds. Where milk is available 1t Is
frequently fed to hogs to advantage,
but under present conditions much of
the skim milk which has been given
to hogs should now be manufactured
into cheese.
"hOh ASu III Ihe ulS iol, toihhIou
custom Is to give the pigs all the feed
they will clean up in reasonably
short time. For q pig weighing Is to
so pounds live weight, a 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 300 to 350-pound pig will only
consume daily ration equal to about
"a per cent Of his weight.

Result Of SUGAR sbortao.

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
of pure cane syrup, which is made
from cane juice, without taking out any
of its sugar. This juice is boiled to
point just below that required to crys-
tallize it into sugar and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but it is recommended by the
planters, as a sweetening for coffee
and tea. 1t is practically sugar I'm a
liquid form, and on tasis of 8 cents
a pound retail for graduated sugar
viii yield economies of 40 to so per
cent, at a price Of 41s to 5 cents a
pound for syrup.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Although corn constitutes q large
proportion of the feed given to hogs,
the cost of producing pork may be ma
terially reduced by the use of pasture
and forage crops, supplemented by
grains. Rape, soy beans, cowpeas,
peanuts, alfalfa, clover, vetch, rye,
oats, and Canada field peas are all val
liable forage crops for swine of any
age. In general, the grain ration which
is suited TO be fed with the legumeS
is corn and barley, etc; with the non
legume plants, a small amount of nj
trogenous feed, such as tankage or oil
meal, is advisable.
AS a general rule, if rapid gains are
desired, full ration of grain is fed
along with the forage, but If economy
in feeding is to be practiced smaller
proportions of grain will be better. In
some sections of the country, where
pastures are luxuriant. mature hogs
are maintained in apparently satisfac
tory condition on pasture alone. This
practice should be followed however,
in case of young, growing pigs, because
they will become thin in flesh and
alone.
In feeding test extending over
three summers at the Missouri expert
ment station, forage crops demonstrate
ed their value. Ten pounds of gain
We're accredited to each bushel of corn
consumed before gains were accredited
to forage crops. Grain was fed at the
rate of or per cent of the weight
of the hogs. For each acre pastured
alfalfa produced 500 pounds of pork !;
corn 395; rape, oats, and clover 1914 !;
sorghum $40; blue grass 295; rye grain
244; cowpeas 224, and soy beans 1873.
Grain for Hogs.
Hog raisers differ widely regarding
the quantity of grain that should be
fed to hogs while on pasture. Some
feeders give them all they will con-
sumo; others about 2 to 3 per cent
of the live weight of the hog. Still
others will allow pigs to run on pas
ture and feed them a 1 per cent grain
ration. There is no fixed rule govern
ing the supplemental grain ration
which should be fed in combination
with forage The amount of grain fed
depends upon the kind pasture used,
the price of grain, and the market.
When farmer has more hogs than
his pasture will accommodate, the pas
ture will last longer if a full grain ra-
ton Is fed.
When grain is high, it is rather ex-

Far more important than to

weeds to kill. In other words,
the farmer should aim to pre-

A farm can be made almost free
of weeds by strictly observing

Prevent weeds from going to
seed on the farm; (2) prevent
weed seeds being brought to the
farm; and 81 in the case Of
perennial weeds, prevent them
