SELF-FEEDER is ECONOMICAL
One of Best Labor Savers and Eff
oient Means of Feeding Hogs
More Fencing Urged.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
One Of the best labor savers and
Dne of the most economical and eff
:ient means of feeding hogs is the self
feeder. Experiments comparing the
self-feeder with feeding by hand have
been made at number Of experiment
stations, and most Of them have shown
not only that the self-feeder is time
saver, but that more pounds Of pork
will be produced with given number
Of pounds of grain by using the self
feeder. This applies not only to the
use Of corn, but to ground and mill
feeds such as tankage, shorts, mid
1lings, peanut meal, sOy-bean meal, etc.
By using the self-feeder in feeding the
ground and mill feeds one does

away with the laboriOuS work of feed
ing slop to hogs. No definite expert
ments have been made along the line
of comparing, feeds of this kind fed dry
as against slOp, yet some work Of this
kind has been done and results were
very satisfactory with the self-feeder
plan. Many farmers and hog growers
have tried feeding these feeds in self
feeder, and the results were fully as
good or better than those obtained by
the system Of slop feeding.
1t is highly desirable that feeds used
in feeding hogs, especially corn, be fed
as near as possible to the crib or
granary. Feeding floors should be
built adjoining corncrib or granaries
holding shelled corn.
Another means of saving labor in
hog growing is the more extended use
Of wOven-wire fence. If the hog grow
er has all his fields and lots fenced
with hog-tight fencing, he can save the
waste in these fields after harvest, and
can also follow the method Of hogging
down corn, which is highly desirable
and economical.
Probably the best use to which
woven-wire fencing can be put is in
making possible the use Of forage
crops. Our best hog growers have be-
come convinced that feeding hogs In
dry lots is no longer the best method.
In nearly every part of the country
where hogs are grown some kind or
forage crops can be successfully used,
and they offer three distinct advan-
tages: First, the saving Of grain by
allowing hogs to get all the green
feed they want; second, the building
up of the soil through the use of ma
nure obtained from hogs continuously
on these pastures, and, third, the much
more sanitary conditions under which
the hogs live, plus the exercise which
the hogs get in pastures, both OF which
are necessities in successful hog grow
ing. In some parts Of the hog-grow-
ing country farmers are able to pas
ture their hogs 10 or IL months In the
year. In almost all parts OF the c0un-
try hogs can be pastured at least six or
seven months.
All these practices save labor In
feeding, and in addition save a con-
siderable amount Of labor in hauling
out and scattering manure that accu-
mulates when feeding under the dry
lot plan.
Many hog feeders dip or spray their
hogs to keep down the lice. Many
commercial hog oilers on the market
are practical and effective in keeping
hogs from becoming infested with lice.
The general practice Of growing hogs
and feeding them the grains raised on
the farms has tendency to distribute
the labor throughout the year.

GREAT PROGRAM AT LEXING-

The program for the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tons 47th annual fall meeting at
Lexington, September 20 to October
IL, was completed with the closing
of the purse events on the same date.
Both as to quality and number the
entries are highly pleasing to Presi-
dent Ed. A. Upton, than whom there
is no better judge of the possibili-
ties of a light harness racing pro-
gram.
1--WE are assured of a wonderful
meeting" said he, eff the weather is
right We have the horses and we
have the people to see them race.
By the reservations that have
been made and are being made for
rooms, we are assured of a big at
tendance, and to those from other
States will be added hundreds who
will come daily by motor and train
from points within a radius of one
hundred miles of Lexington. With
such horses as are coming from all
corners of the country the racing is
certain to be more keenly contested
than it has been at any other point
on the Grand Circuit"

LATONIA RACE MEETING OPENS
WEDNESDAY. SEPT. "a.

The opening event of the coming
Latonia meeting, which gets into
swing "Wednesday, September "a,
will be. the Latonia Handicap, an
event for three-year-olds and up
ward at one mile and a sixteenth,
with $1,000 added. This race takes
the place of the Inaugural Handicap
given by the former management.
Fifty-four entries have been secured,
including such stars of the turf as
Dunboyne. Lucullite, Purchase,
Cudgel. War Pennant, Billy Kelly,
Vexatious and all the good western
horses
General Manager Winn is in a
quandary as to his stake dates. At
the present time it looks as though
the worlds series baseball games will
be played in Cincinnati and until
these dates are definitely settled Col
onel Winn does not want to name the
date of the running of the Latonia
Championship Stake. 1t is likely
that there will be racing on the days
the teams play in Cincinnati, al
though it has been suggested to the
management to start racing at $50
or 10 O'Clock in the morning, which
would give them time to complete
the seven race program about l
o'clock and give everyone an oppor
tunity to attend both the races and
the ball games. .
1t has also been suggested to lay
off on the baseball days, inasmuch as
there are two open dates before the
races begin and and three open days
before Churchill Downs opens. 1t is
not likely that more than five ball
ball games will be played in Cincin-
natl, all told. However, this does
not set we'll with the Latonia man.
agement, and it is likely that there
will be no change in the opening
date
The only thing Col. Winn wants
to avoid is having the Latonia
Championship race run on a day on
which there is a ball game. He has
tentatively set Saturday, October IL,
as the day, but does not wish to make
an official announcement of the same
until he is certain there will be no
ball game.
