HOG DOWN SOME CORN

You cannot beat a kernel of corn
to produce fat on hog. but it can
be beaten a long way by soy beans
in producing bone and muscle. A
combination of these two feeds is
ideal for growth and fat. To save
labor. the corn and beans can be
planted together and hogged down.
The Experiment Station is recon-
mending to check-row the corn and
plant the beans in the hill with the
corn, using two kernels of corn and
one to three soy beans per hill. One
should plant variety of beans tina,
ripen a little later than the corn,
such as Boone County White corn
and Haberlandt soy beans. The crop
should be hogged down when the
beans are just little past the dough
stage. If the beans become thOroly
ripe, the pigs will not eat the beans
until after hogging down the corn.
An acre of corn and soy beans will
furnish feed for fifteen iO0-pouni
shOats for about thirty days. Us
ually the hogs will hog down the
corn before the soy beans, and corn
should be supplied to the hogs as
soon as this happens.

TO MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL
CLUB RAISING SHEEP

From the middle of April TO tho
middle of May is the time to shear
sheep in Kentucky. The most COM
mon time is May list to 18th. You
should shear your sheep after most
of the cold weather has passed and
there have been a few days warm
enough to make them uncomfortable.
Warm weather starts a flow Of oil
and puts the sheep in excellent con-
ditiOn for shearing. If shearing i;
delayed too long the wool becomes
dead and lifeless. Late shorn fleeces
are heavier than early shOrn ones
because the fiber has grown slightly
longer and more yolk has been Sc
GREETED. After shearing, good shelter
should be provided, because a sud-
den change from warm to cold,
windy weather may cause severe
colds, and often some of the sheep
may die.
Sheep should never be shorn whea
Nthe wool is wet, or even damp. II
is a mistake to put them in the barn,
when damp, because the wool will
not dry out. 1t takes wind and sun
shine TO dry wool. Another objec-
ton to putting the sheep into the
barn and keeping them over night
is that they make the barn floor
damp and dirty, and lie down in the
dirt. This not only adds to the
dampness of the wool but also stains
and discOlOrs it. Do not drive sheep
through wet grass and then shear
them before the sun has a chance
to dry the wool.
If you have access to a shearing
machine, you should use it, because
you can clip closer to the skin and
get a more uniform length of fiber.
II is a bad practice to work away
from the skin and then back up and
cut closer, because these second
cuts, or shorter fibers, greatly re-
duce the value Of fleece.
Before shearing the sheep, clip
out all burs with a pair of shears.
A fleece free from burs is worth
about ten cents more per pound
than it would be worth with the
burs in it. All tags or dungy locks
should be clipped off and sacked
separately.

disease. II also breeds flies, which
are disease carriers, and spreads

Fifth, about One-third OF ones life

Of a child's time should be spent in

foul air forced out. Pure air is
necessary to sustain life. School

rooms should be as pure as the out
side air.

Third, you should take hot suds
bath weekly, and a cold sponge bath,
followed by a brisk rub every morn
ing upon rising. Bathing produces
cleanliness, a thermal effect, and a
tonic effect. To cleanse the skin,
warm water, good soap, and rough
towel should be used. In hot bath
the skin is stimulated, the blood
vessels are dilated, and the blood
flows 10 the surface. II is best TO
take the hot bath at night, and al
ways follow il with a good rest.
Bathing may be oyerdone. There
are dangers, too, from remaining In
the bath too long. Bathing, whether
for cleanliness, thermal effect or
tonic effect, should be done quickly.
Fourth, no slops, garbage decay :
ing substances, or waste from the
body should be permitted in the
immediate neighborhood Of the well,
spring. or cistern. In this way the
germs Of typhoid fever may get into
drinking water and produce the
