Twelve rules to follow in shipping
hogs to market have been given by
c. M. Hubbard, extension livestock
specialist.
i. In ordering a car for shipping
hogs insist upon getting one that is
in good condition and clean.
2. Bed the car with sand, cinders,
clay or fine straw
3. Before loading, wet the bedding
and interior of car thoroughly.
4. Give only very light feed of
grain before starting to the loading
shute.
5. Deliver the hogs at the shipping
station in plenty of time to allow
them to become rested and cool be-
fore loading.
6. Do not load the car more than
one hour before train is to depart.
T. Load slowly, avoid excitement,
and overheating the animals. Do not
beat or bruise.
s. In extreme hot weather do not
load to exceed $4,000 pounds fat hogs
and 10000, stock hogs in standard
36-foot car
/ g. Use about 300 pounds OF ice on
the floor Of the car, or suspend in
gunny sacks from top of car if the
weather is extremely hot.
10. Pen off in corner animals
which persist in causing a disturb
ance, like all vicious sows, stays and
the like.
II. Report inattention or neglect
promptly to the superintendent of the
division on which your shipment

IL. Never throw water directly
upon hogs after they become heated.
Instead, run it on the floor of car
under the hogs.

Rye for Dry Farm Diaries.

Rye for Dry Farm Diaries.
Farmers of Adams county are max
ing a success in growing rye for feed
ing dairy cows in the dry sections Of
the county. Recently County Agent
Donaldson and Extension Dairy Spe-
cialist Don G. Magruder visited farm
ers who were keeping dairy COWS and
found that good results were being OBJ
tanned from the feeding of rye in pas
ture and as hay. In some cases the
cows were ON rye and Russian thistle
pasture and were producing goodly
amount of milk. The rye hay is cut
when it is nearly ripe and the farm
ers state that when in this stage the
cows will eat it all. 1t is well adapted
to this section and gives a crop in dry
years when wheat is failure.
Since milk and cream in the various
forms in which they are used make up
about one-sixth by weight Of all the
food eaten by the average American
family, the Farmers Bulletin, Milk
and It's Uses In the Home, recently re-
vised, should provide many useful sug-
gestions to nearly all housewives. 1t
contains information on the compost
ton and food value of milk, the effect
of cooking, home pasteurization, the
use of skim milk, condensed or evapo-
rated milk, dried milk or milk powder,
and various other dairy products. Sew
eral pages are devoted to the prepare
ton of different dishes in which milk
is commonly used. Copies of this bull

Some Reasons Why Hogs
Are Popular Farm Animals

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture)
What Is the basis of the hogs popu-
larity, which. in spite of his relatively
small size, enables him t stand third
In total value among all our domestic
animals in the United States? In the
first place, Of course, he produces
toothsome meats which In some form
or other combine well with most of
our common vegetables, but. according
to the Department of Agriculture,
there are other reasons why the hog
has become a favorite on more than
three-fourths Of our farms.
The hog converts much of our corn
crop. 80 to 40 per cent annually, into
a concentrated food, and In this work
of concentration he is no waster. He Is
an efficient user Of feed. 1t takes about
six pounds Of hay to produce a pound
Of lamb olive weight), ten pounds of
hay and ten pounds Of corn to make a
pound of beef, and So pounds Of corn
for a pound of pork. Hogs are fire.
quently used to "hog down. or har-
vest crops and in this way they save
the labor Of harvesting.
In this country pork and lard enter
prominently into our food supply. The
average annual consumption per cap
ita for the last five years was 67.3
pounds Of pork and 12.5 pounds of
lard as compared with GOO pounds
OF beef.

Selection of Breed for
Good Flock of Sheep

In establishing a flock of sheep for
the farm there are many advantages
in the farmers of a community select
ing the same breed. One important
advantage is in changing rams so as
to avoid ~inbreeding. A farmer with
only a few ewes is likely to inbreed
or use a poor sire, rather thar intro
duce new blood through the purchase
of a good ram. Sheep are divided into
three general classes: l, the n
woods, such as the American Merlno,
Delaine, and R~ambouillet 2, medium
woods, such as the oxford, Hampshire,
Shropshire. Southdown, ETC.; 3, the
coarse woods, such as the Cotswolds,
Leicester and Lincolns.
The first class of fine woods are
especially desirable when run in large
numbers on the ranges in mountainous
regions, as they herd well together,
retain the wool well, are well protected
by a close fleece, and probably do bet
ter than other breeds on coarse or
more or less woody vegetation. OF the
fine woods, the Rambouillet has the
best mutton type and is the largest in
size.
The second class, or medium wool
sheep are probably best for non-
irrigated sections of the state but do
well anywhere, as they are of a dis
tinct meat type, mature early, and fur
nish a higher percentage Of mutton
than the fine woods. They are not as
large as coarse wool, for the sheep
mature earlier. Some of the breeds
of this class are rather small, active
and well adapted to grazing where the
feed is sparse
The Southdowns are the smallest
and mature very early and rapidly,
but shear only about six to eight
pounds of wool. The Shropshire is the
most popular farm sheep in America,
giving a well-balanced yield Of NUT
ton and wool, and shearing II to IA
pounds under farm conditions. Hamp-
shires and Oxfords are larger Than
Shropshires, but are a little slower in
maturing. Any inc of these breeds
will give Observation-Disclosures Serv-
