fed so that 1t will be picked up clean.
and you will find next spring that
there Is not a bit Of the corn lying
around to 60 to waste.
Protein feeds in the form Of shorts,
tankage. oilmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and It is quite success
full to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows will
eat q larger percentage Of alfalfa hay
fed In the ground form than when fed
in racks unground. This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any Of the other protein
feeds and is good balance to the corn
ration.
By following a few Of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
farrowing time capable Of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that II he Is going to have pigs
that do their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
Gus at narrowing time. The proper care
Of the brood SOW is not difficult and
should be carefully looked after by
every hog grower.

publication from the United States de-
partment Of agriculture describing the
breeds Of chickens belonging to the
egg class, Farmers Bulletin S98,
STANDARD Varieties Of Chickens: II.
The Mediterranean and Continental
Classes"
That is. there are 20 members Of
the two groups of chickens which poul-
try experts classify as the egg breeds.
The Mediterranean class includes the
T.eghorns-nine varieties; the Minor
cas-five varieties: the Spanish-one
variety; the Ancona-two varieties,
and the Blue Andalusian. In the Con-
tinental class is the one breed Cam
pine with two varieties. All of these
breeds lay white-shelled eggs. They
are called egg breeds because fowls
Of these types are especially good lay
ers but are not so well suited to the

table, They are the breeds best suited
for poultry farms $here the produc
ton Of eggs is the main purpose The
Leghorn breed, and in particular the
Single Comb White Leghorn variety
Is the most popular and widely kept.
The egg breeds are smaller than the
general-purpose types of chickens such
as the Plymouth Rock. For that rea.
son they do not make particularly de-
sirable meat fowls and are not so well
favored by the poultry packers as are
the larger general-purpose breeds,
Surplus cockerels, however, sold as
broilers when they weigh from three.
quarters to a pound and half, find
ready market.
The bulletin mentioned describes the
different breeds and varieties of lay
ers in the two classes and illustrates
them. However, the purpose of the
bulletin is to give only general de-
scriptions of appearance and charac-
ter. For a description sufficiently de-
tailed to enable one to breed exhibi-
tion specimens it will be necessary.

Up Much Of Living.

Sheep. In proportion to the value Of
their products. are produced more
economically on the farm than any
other live stock the feed and labor re-
quirements are less. They flt in with
general farming. get much of their
subsistence from forage from grazing
weeds and grass that would not sup
port other stock. They eat little feed
that has a value as human food, and
need less grain than other animals.
They add materially to the farm reve-

OUTDOOR EXERCISE FOR PIGS

Range fur Sows.

Outdoor exercise is beneficial, but
pigs should be protected from cold
winds or from very hot sun. If the
SOW is turned out with her pigs, do
not give her a very large range at
first, as she is likely to travel too far
and unduly tire the young.

Where Eco Breeds Are Kept

Eggs, Of course, are produced wher-
ever chickens are kept, and by far the
greater part Of the egg crop comes
from the general farm, yet large so
called egg farms have been developed
with the main purpose Of producing
eggs for market. The largest of these
egg farms and the greater number Of
them are located near markets which
pay a premium for white eggs; and
for this reason, together with the fact
that, eggs are primarily desired, the
breeds kept are those known as the
egg breeds, such as Leghorn, Cam
pine, Minorca and Ancona.
