SELF-FEEDER is ECONOMICAL
cient Means Of Feeding ho0s-
More Fencing Urged.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
One of the best labor savers and
one of the most economical and eff
cient means Of feeding hogs is the self
feeder. Experiments comparing the
self-feeder with feeding by hand have
been made ut a 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
dlings, peanut meal, soy-bean meal, etc.
BY using the seif-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
err 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 of
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 II months in the
year. In almost all parts of the coun-
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 a tendency to distribute
the labor throughout the year.

BIG RETURNS FROM POULTRY
Arizona Farmer Made Profit Of r:earIy
$500 From Small Flock In Short
Space Of Time.

prepared by the United States Depart

A net return of nearly $500 in two

on the farm is the record made by a
Glendale, Ariz., farmer who is carry
ing on his operations under the direc-
ton of a poultry extension expert Of
the United States department of agri-
culture. In connection with his gen.
eral farm work he kept flock Of 21O
hens, which produced an average of
ten dozen eggs during the four winter
months. During February the eggs
brought an average Of IS cents a
dozen, or approximately $50, while
the feed bill, including the feed for
the young chicks, amounted to $50.
The following month the flock showed
a profit Of a little over 800. During
the first half Of April the gross re-
lceipts were $97.50. In April the ex-
tension specialist conducted culling

ed Sc hens from the flock. The culled
hens were kept In q separate pen for
week following the demonstration,
and made practically no returns In egg
yields. This indicates, the specialist
says. that the remaining 154 hens
probably made the record with which
the entire 21O had been credited.

MAKE PROFITABLE SIDE LINE
Success May Be Attained with Pig
cons by Careful Attention TO
Many Little Details.

prepared by the United States Depart

Many people can keep pigeons sue
cessfully as side issue, although this
requires constant oversight and care
full attention to details. The greatest
difficulties confronting the successful
raiser Of pigeons seem to be in securing
good breeding stock, and finding mar
ket for the produce Of small flock.
Pigeons are profitable source Of In
come on general farms where they may
secure much of their feed from the
fields, provided they are not a nuisance
and the loss by shooting and by hawks,
owls and cats is not large. They can
also be raised successfully on farms
where they are closely confined, pro-
vided the squads can be marketed to
good advantage.
OF the squab-raising varieties the
Homer is considered the most popular
variety. The habit Of this bird of re-
turning home If allowed freedom makes
1t necessary to confine pigeons purchas-
ed from other lofts. The Carneaux
pigeon has recently become popular as
squad producer. This variety is some
what larger than. the Homer and It is
stated is about as prolific. Several
other varieties of pigeons larger than
the Homer are used on small scale
in SQUAD raising, especially in crossing
with the Homer and Carneaux, to in
crease the size of SQUADS. The Runt

The one-piece or two-piece frock of
wool cloth is to be rcckoned with in
every wardrobe, for it almost divides
honor with the tailored suit in the
favor of American women at least.
The chances are it is even more high
ly considered among English and
French women who may not be as in
alienably attached to the tailored suit
as Americans are. At any rate 1t is
presented in many different designs
and has peculiar interest just now
when we are oil trying to shave down
the high cost Of living. Women are
remodeling suits and converting them
into dresses that will answer for street
and business wear and combining wool
materials with satin or silk for after
noon frocks.
For the purpose of remodeling, the
frock Of cloth with underskirt of satin
is an excellent design. What was the
skirt in suit becomes long tunic

above the hem. 1t discloses the satin
underskirt Mt the front and is gath

an easy matter. The bodice has
turned-back collar and vest of tucked

and very effective finishing touch.
The dress Mt the left, except for the
underskirt. offers good suggestions for
remodeling. 1t Is tunic model band-
ed with plush and ornamented with
braid. The underskirt would be just
as good looking If it were plain, and
considerably more practical. The short
raglan sleeve in this design is an
echo of autumn styles from Paris.
A three-quarter length or wrist-length
flaring sleeve, set In ut the armhole,
will not lessen the attraction of the
dress at all. but the short sleeve with
long gloves Is smart for afternoon
wear. Long warm coats worn over
wool frocks in midwintnr insure ones

Many of the toilet articles which
are in daily use can be made up at
home. Cleansing creams, tissue build
ing creams, lotions for skin diseases,
shampoos and hair tonics do not re-
quire a professional to make them

have time and ambition, still mix these
things for themselves. They have the
satisfaction Of knowing that the in

some things they save money.

The best way to get soil out Of
condition is to grow the same grain
crop year after year. A good way to
keep the soil in good condition is to
rotate the crops, using grain crops,
cultivated crops, grass and alfalfa
and feeding good deal of the farm
products and putting the manure back
on the land.
The land that grows grain year
after year also gets weedy. The weeds
use a lot of the moisture so that is
another waste. No wonder that crop
yields go down under the continuous
grain growing system.
