HOGS ECONOMICAL FOR MEAT
Animals Produce More Flesh for Given
Quantity Of Feed Than Either
Cattle or Sheep.

Hogs are economical when 1t comes
to converting feed into meat. They
thus produce more flesh for given
quantity of feed than cattle or sheep.
Farmers cannot afford TO buy meat
II II is at all possible TO raise hogs on
the farm. And there are very few
farms where hogs cannot be raised to
advantage, nj least enough for the
home meat supply IL pains are taken
to provide grazing crops.
This is a favorable time 10 start. BY
preparing land and getting ready to
sow crops for grazing farmers may
take thought for the morrow.
by beginning with breed sows It does
not take long to raise enough hogs 10
make enough meat for the ordinary
family. But the feed should be avail
able and the pasture prepared before
q start is made.

A. ID. Wilson, chief of the agricul.

together sufficiently TO produce stand

quantities large enough to let II be
marketed In carlots. Improvement In

the line of reducing the labor and ex

OF the things which tends to reduce
this cost is 10 have produced in n com

prepared by the United States Depart

Baled hay that has been thoroughly
cured in the barn or stack before bal
Ing can be stored indefinitely without
danger of heating, say specialists. II
may be piled so that the bales fit very
closely together. Hay baled from the
windrow and cock, however, unless
very we'll cured, is likely to heat more

ing becomes so intense that the hay
becomes severely damaged or even un-
marketable.
Lessen Danger Of Heating.
Damage from heating may be greatly
lessened and sometimes entirely obvi-
ated by storing the bales on edge, al
lowing an inch or two of air space be-
tween them. When bales are piled fiat
wise the air Is excluded and heating
Ia likely to occur, whereas leaving an
air space tends to prevent heating by
inducing circulation. which cools the
hay. The first layer of bales placed
in barn should be placed on edge,

up around the edges OF the bales and
