On the extreme northern end of
Efanhattea island there In tulip tree

old, and IL so may be the Oldest tree
on the island. still appears to be In
Its prime, and In the early summer Is
almost entirely covered with foliage.

ten Duyvil inlet he Is supposed 10
have met members OF the weck-quas-
keeks tribe

prepared by the United States Depart

Many farmers wean pigs at six to
seven weeks Of age. when the brood
sows have q good flow Of milk and are
capable OF maintaining the young In
excellent condition and development
at less expense and trouble than the
young porkers could otherwise be
handled. Their mothers milk is one
OF the best feeds available for grow
Ing pigs. and consequently It should
be used to the greatest extent possi-
BILE.
When the pigs are from six to
seven weeks old the sow should be on
full feed, unless for some extraOrdln-
ary reason the pigs should not be
weaned until the age OF ten weeks.
and In such instances 1t Is preferable
to allow them to run with their moth
er until they are twelve to fourteen
weeks old. Where pigs are weaned
too early serious results often attend,
as the abrupt change In the character
Of the ration many times creates seFi-
Gus trouble.

twelve or fourteen weeks without
making any very radical changes In
their daily meals by simply allowing
them to continue on the seif-service
system. II best results are to be OBJ
tained. the pigs must gain continuous
ly and uniformly until they are ready
for market. This necessltates an
abundance of feed as well as access
during the grazing season to such val
liable forage crops as alfalfa and red
clover. In sections where these
ieguminous feeds cannot be produced,
rye, oats. barley. c0wpeas. rape, or any
other grain or grass which will pro-
duce good forage In the locality should
be grown for hog pasture. Hogs like
to harvest their own feed. In addition
to getting the feed In the freshest pos
sible condition, the young shoats also
derive benefits from the exercise IN
rustling part Of their daily diet.
Watch Pigs Closely.
Every hog raiser Is advised to watch
the spring pigs closely to see that they
are on their feed; that is, that the an
tmaIs have good appetites and eat
their daily allowances OF grain and
grass with relish and avidity. II pig

his owner should change the ration,
using barley In place Of corn and pro-
viding as much skim milk or butter
milk as is available. He should also
provide an abundance Of pure, fresh
water for the pigs as well as plenty
of shade during the hot summer
months.
Freedom from lice means hog com.
fort. This can be obtained by the
plentiful use of crude or black oil
upon the animals as well as I'm their
quarters and wallows. Natural shade
is always the best. but where this In
