the allies. Coatalen was coming over
in 1915 to drive one of his own cars,
but war work prevented his making
the trip, and Noel Van Raalte, q Sun

and finished tenth. Coatalen and Chas-

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW NJ. SOULE

How much land will it require to furnish
grazing for one sow and pigs? What
crop would you advise and when should
they be sown!
Situated as you are, we would
SOW rape Immediately. You would
not need to plant more than half
acre, or better still, eighth-acre
lots in succession of one week apart.
This will probably be the earliest
and most desirable type of green
food you could secure for the nu-
triton of SOW and her young
pigs. Remember that rape itself will
not constitute a complete ration for
the maintenance of pigs. Therefore,
you must feed some grain, milk and
Stops along with it. A good thing
to use would be a mixture of one
third corn and two-thirds shipped
stuff reduced to a fairly thin Ylop
with skim-milk. AS soon as seasonal
conditions will permit, we would
plant an early-maturing variety Of
cowpeas, followed by a medium ana
late variety. Do the same thing with
soy beans and peanuts, and you
should be able to supply your SOW
and pigs with a suitable succession
of feed throughout the growing seas
on which will enable you to keep
them in a vigorous condition at a
relatively small cost. AS the SOW
and pigs get larger you will have to
increase the area devoted to these
crops. Five acres of land properly
seeded and handled should provide
plenty Of food for brood SOW and
say five pigs.

Apparently the trouble with your

A horse cannot masticate food prop

stances you cannot expect the animal
to keep in a thrifty condition.

better than a good drench of Epson

4 ounces; pulverized nux vomica
seed, 2 ounces; pulverized gentian
root, 2 ounces; pulverized ginger root,
2 ounces; pulverized nitrate of pot
ash, 2 ounces. Mix these ingredients
thoroughly together and give a heap
ing teaspoonful in the feed three
times daily. In addition we would
prepare the food for your mare as
carefully as possible so as to increase

the roughage feed will be increased if
you chop it up fine and moisten it
with water containing a little salt:
You should give bran mashes and
other easily digested concentrates for
some days. The use of laxative foods
is to be emphasized and those which
are easily digested and assimilated
should also be fed. If the trouble
with the teeth is corrected and this
treatment is followed out your mare
should make a rapid and eventually
complete recovery.
