THE FEED TROUGH FOR HOGS

The pig trough is a necessary equip
ment 70 most every livestock farm,
but 1t Is often poorly constructed and
not kept in proper repair While the
pig trough should be made as chcaply
as possible, il must be durable enough
to stand the rough usage. For grown
hogs, the. most common type is made
by spiking a 2xi0 and a 2XS together
in a shape. For young pigs, narrow
er pieces should be selected IL this type
is used. Various types of CONNER
cial troughs are on the market and il
not too expensive can I've recommended.
The most common mistake in making
the N-shaped trough for pigs is to
make it 50 high that the pigs cannot
feed conveniently. II too broad, the
pigs will have to get into the trough to
secure the feed.
A very satisfactory arrangement is
to have the trough set in the fence,
parallel TO the fence. The feeder can
approach the trough from the outside
ard the pigs from the inside of the lot.
A swinging panel may be hung above
the trough. BY means of latch slip
ping crosswise at the center of the
panel it may be swung in and fastened,
shutting the pigs away from the
trough, until the feed is put into It.
With this arrangement, only as many
pigs as can easily get to trough OF
moderate dimensions should be fed
together.
Detailed drawings showing the di-
mensions of this trough can be
found in Bulletin 1Ss of the Colorado
Agricultural College Experiment Sta
tion. This Bulletin viii be sent upon
request.-C. S. Anderson, Colorado

BURIED WEED SEEDS

great abundance. A given crop OF
weed seed does not germinate the first
season, but distributes its termination
over period of years.
Seeds deep in the soil do not ger
inmate readily because of lack of oxy-

the stored food in the seed before
reaching the surface. Seeds may lie
buried in the soil for years without

Such seeds may germinate readily
