Hogs Don't swcat--Must Have

Hogs Don't swcat--NIust Have
Hogs are non-sweatingl animals
and unless they are provided with
protection in the form OF shade or
water for wallowing purposes, they
suffer heavily from heat during the
+, hot summer months, livestock men
say. Many farmers are using con-
crete wallowing tanks successfully
in keeping their animals cool while
Others have found shade to be the
most practical form of relief on
their farms. In either case, 1t is
necessary to provide the animals
with plenty of clear drinking water
in order to keep down the suffering
from heat most effectively.

Many Rented Farms Stress Need OF
Better Contracts

More than one-third of the farms
in Kentucky are operated by ten
ants, according to the 1920 census.
Leasing contracts under which
2 many of these farms are operated
point out the need in the State for
more general use of contracts which
will keep the land up in productive
ness and at the same time enable
the tenant to make fair profit
and the landlord fair rate OF re-
turn, according to w. d. Nichols,
head of the farm economics de-
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture.
zone type of successful leasing
contract is that which includes
the joint ownership of hogs, beef
or dairy cattle, sheep and other
productive livestock. The tenant
furnishes all the labor and in most
cases, the work stock and machin-
cry. The landlord usually pays
the service fees and owns one
half interest in the colts. Poultry,
up to a reasonable point, are owned
by the tenant who gets the pro-
ceeds from the enterprise.
1.-The other net receipts are divid-
ed equally. The landlord furnishes
the land and buildings, pays the
taxes and insurance on them, In
most cases furnishes the grass
seed and pays one-half the other
expenses excepting those for labor.
Necessary minor repairs on fences
usually are made by the tenant
without charge. the landlord farm
ishing the materials.
quite often, the tenant does not
have sufficient capital or credit to
finance his half of the cattle. hogs
or other productive livestock, Some
Kentucky landlords have supplied
this capital, securing 1t by taking
mortgage on the livestock and per-
hitting repayment out OF the ten
ants share of the proceeds. When
the tenant is an able, energetic and
reliable man, this is an excellent
plan and serves the interest OF both
parties. The tenant thus is en-
couraged to do his best and often
win remain on the farm for several
years.
FOR several years, the college

tracts and has succeeded In work
