"A good boar has been ruined because
his owner did not take care OF the
animal's feet. In trimming the boar's
feet. first gain the confidence of the
animal. BE patient and quiet with
him and you can do almost anything
with n boar; but Just as soon as you
antagonize him. 1t will be impossible
to accomplish anything.
Scratch the boar on the flank and
he will lie down and stretch out so
that 1t is possible to get at his feet
without causing him any discomfort.
At the same time you Will have him

EGG PRODUCTION IN WINTER
First importance-Greens and
Exercise Needed.


prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrieulture.)
The puilets that are expected to be
doing their bit in the laying flock this
winter should have been put In winter
quarters early in November and fed
the sort of ration that will supply
plenty of material for egg production.
Every attention that Will tend to slim
ulate laying Is demanded by the pull
lets at this time, for a good early start
may help to establish the habit of lay
ing through a long season, say the
poultrymen of the United States De
partment of Agriculture,
Good r%ations, however, cannot be ex-
pected to keep a flock laying properly
il health conditions are not what they
should be. Dropping boards and nests
need cleaning and disinfection occa.

saying that there must be frequent
changes of litter and always an abun.

hen Is about as poor u piece of prop
erty as a man can own. and many ex-
perienced poultry ralsers so so far as
TO say that a sick me Is less desirable
than a dead one.
If pullets are n little slow in coming
into laying Ii is sometimes possible to
stimulate them by some changes in the
feeding schedule. If the quantity Of
scratch feed allowed In the morning
Is cut down by one-half, 1t will make
tho birds hungrler during the day and
they will consume more Of the dry
mash. which will frequently start them
laying a week earlier than otherwise
would be the case.
Another help is TO feed u little OF
the mash wet at noon, as even this lit
tie variation seems TO whet their APP
p%etItes. The use of buttermilk in mix
ing this moist mash Is n OF the best
stlmulants TO help start egg produe-
ton. If the poultry keeper feels that
he does not TO force the birds
too hard he may cut down on this
moistened mash. Ii is possible that
forcing too much on the feed may
cause the fowls TO be weakened In fer
tillty, but few farmers and backyard
chicken raisers will be inclined TO over
do this matter of feeding. A little
stimulus In the beginning may have a
great deal TO do with getting the hens
started In their work, and once on their
way II Is probable that they will keep

II the weather Is mild 1t may be pos
sible to feed the hens outside. and
when this Is done they will generally
get plenty of exercise. When the birds

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
SOUND POINTS ON BABY BEEF
Producer Generally Finds Ii Neces-
sary to Breed His Own Stock
Well-Bred Cows Best.

The producer of baby beef gen.
orally finds 1t necessary to breed his
own stock. Calves with the con-
formation and quality to finish at Is
months of age are seldom bought on
the market In any numbers of uniform
type, and at a figure where they can
be p%roftably fed out Older and
palmer stock can be bought for less
money. will make larger gains, and
sell at about the same price a hundred
pounds as the finished calf.
The problem for the producer Of
baby beef is to get his raw material
of the proper quality as eheaply as
possible, and In the opinion of N. X.
Carnes of the live stock division at
University farm, he can generally do
this best by keeping q herd Of real,
wellbred beef cows, and by feeding
and caring for them economically.
The feed and care of the COW will
be charged against the fatted calf.
"The majority of beef producers
says Mr.. Carnes. prefer to have
their calves dropped In the spring of
the year. The calves can run with
their dams on pasture during the
summer, and be weaned In the fall
about the time they go into winter
quarters. BY this practice, the beef
cows can be wlntered more econom
lcally. They require less shelter and
labor, and less concentrated food
than when they are sucking calves.
A beef cow of good type will sup
port a calf and keep her own flesh
on pasture without any grain. When
the pasture Is short or dry. silage

AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF JAM. "a

Observer II. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department of
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
ending January "a:
The mean temperature for the last
week was about 4 degrees above nor
NAL and the sunshine was much be-
low normal. Strong winds occurred
January II. At the close of the week
heavy SHOWS fell in the west portion
and in the Sierra Nevada mountains;
light TO moderate SHOWS fell in other
sections. The total amount of snow
at Summit sinces the storm started
Monday was So inches and the depth
on the ground Wednesday morning
was 135 inches. The total amount
of snow at Reno was 14.S inches and
the mount of precipitation was lib
inches. The total precipitation for
the week at Reno was 1.35 riches;
the weekly amount at Winnemucca
was o.41 inch and Modena reported
0.23 inch.
Much snow was added to the stor-
age in the mountains for summer use
and the snowfall on the desert range
was generally sufficient to supply wa
ter for sheep. This was the first pre-
cipitation since the latter part of De-
cember owe the greater part of the
state and the water supply was get
ting low in the desert range. Strong
winds made stock feeding more diff
ficult and heavier feeding was neces-
sary in regions where the snow was
deep. Reports indicate that cattle
and sheep are doing we'll at feeding
quarters and on the winter range,
Horses are wintering well on the
range in the north. Livestock are
fine in the vicinity of Winnemucca.
In eastern Elko county cattle, sheep
and horses are in good condition; cat

|ELKO OIL DRILL DOWN
NINETEEN HUNDRED FEET

The oil we'll being drilled at Elko
is down more than 1900 feet, accord
ing to information brought to Ely by
J.. c. Wheeler, and the Zig drill Is
lowering the hole steadily.
The present formation is shale and
some sand strata have been passed
through. These, Mr.. Wheeler says,
have shown some oil.
Mr.. Wheeler used to be in the oil
prospecting business here as presi-
dent of the Consolidated Illipah Oil
Company and keeps in close touch
with the business everywhere. He
says the Utah oil boom Is coming
back, due to the active program of
the Standard Oil Company. which Is
starting extensive drilling operations
in the San Juan field. The company

SOW-FEED AT WEAVING TIME
Object lie to Check Secretion Of Milk
Dry Oats Are Safe Feed
for Short Period.

When pigs are weaned the feed
should be cut down to check the secre-
ton Of milk. Dry oats make a safe
feed for a sow for n few days. If the
udder gets very full, II is a good plan
to turf the SOW in with the pigs once
a day for a few days. BY this system
the sow's milk supply Is reduced, and
she Is dried up gradually.

SMALL BOYS PLAN WORKED
slant Watch for Marsudino Band
Of Chickens.

One time when Frank Wallace, state
entomologist, was a small boy, says
the Indianapolis Star. his father as
signed him to guard a garden from a
maraudlng band of chickens from d
n~eighbor's coop. Frank did not like
the Idea of wasting his precious boyish
time on unprincipled chickens and set
his wits TO working.
He bored holes through grains of
corn, tied notes TO the end of a thread
attached to the grains and set the bait.
The foolish raiders fell for the trick.
Frightened by the fiuttering notes a
few inches from the ends of their bills
and the sensation Of the threads In
their threats. the chickens went fly
ing home and tore around the yard.
This attracted the owner and the
chickens were caught and notes read.
This is what they read:
1--WE been over to Wallace's this
afternoon"
The next day the same thing oc-
Cured and this Is what the notes said
that day:
al scratched out Wallace's onion
bed today"
On the third day the notes read:
"Say, now listen: This is the last
day I'm going over TO Wallace's and
come back alive"
There was no fourth day to the
story except that the owner of the
chickens and the father of young Wal
lace nearly got into a fight.

plants that would serve the purpose, Any of the winter grains will do.
 c. Do you think spinach could now be planted and get through the winter months? T. E., Anniston, Ala.
 A. MuchN spinach is now being planted by local truckers, the variety being the Bloomsdale or Savoy, and 1t stands a good chance to escape any serious injury by frosts; but this ele- ment of risk must be undergone by every one.
 Q. Is 1t now time to plant out the yellow day lily and can they be put out in the open? Mrs. A, Amory, Miss.
 A. Hemerocallis or yellow day lily may be set out now or as soon as the plants become thoroughly dormant, which is usually about December. Bulbs are not generally available be- fore December.
 o. How many oats do I need for six acres including crimson clover for same and how much of each to the acre? T. S., R. F. D. No. 6.
 A. It is a good idea to SOW oats and crimson clover together. The crop can be cut for hay or the oats cut off and then turn the clover in for fertilizer. Preferably E bushels of oats and 15 pounds of clover should be used to the acre.
 c. We have fine bed or hedge of Sweet William that we think is too thick. We would like to take up, di- vide and reset at other locations. When is the proper time to do this? Mrs. J., Decatur, Ala. A. Inasmuch as the plants are now dormant you may do the work now. In dividing the clumps be careful to leave 8 strong root system to each plant.
 Q. Would you recommend the planting of sweet peas now? do not want to be too late, yet I don't want to plant them too early? Miss E., Fairfield, Ala.
 ! A. I think 1t permissible to plant now, inasmuch as we have had good frosts. The season has much to do with the time sweet peas should be planted. Warm weather is bad for them and very early planting will of ten make excess growth and suffer

 Q. We want to put out an acre or so of onions for market. Do you rec comend sets, seed or plants S., At talla, Ala.
 A. It is really too late to SOW seed for plants to reset, but you can buy plants of early varieties, such as Bermuda, which may be set now or q little later and treated much the same as cabbage.
 Onion sets ere also available, such as red, white and yellow, all of which would make good as green onions but sets do not often make perfect dry onions, as many go to seed before ma turity. Much would depend on whether you expect to sell the onions in the green state or allow the crop to be- come dry. See special letter on sub- ject.
 Q. What are good plums to put out now for this section? T. S., Athens Ala.
 A. The best varieties for this sec | tion are Abundance, Red June and Burbank. Any one of these will dc well and should come into bearing within two years after setting out i, l Q. Can we set out abelias now and should they be cut back before re- setting? H. T., Clanton, Ala.
 A. Abelias may be set out now oI even later It is a good idea to cut 1 back most of the foliage or tor | growth. The root is the main factor and good strong clumps are recom' | mended.
 Q. I have rooted a number of Cape Jasmine and have them in small cans Would you recommend that they be | planted in the open? Mrs. M. B. l Thorsby, Ala.
 A. Cape Jasmines may now bt planted in the open ground. As 6 general proposition, it is best to To- cate the plants so that they will have | protection from the cold north W inds They will survive any ordinary win ter, but late freezes, particularly 1T February, are liable to seriously in l jure them.
 0. We know that we are late, bui we want to sow something for oul chickens. We can trust you to give us a formula of seed that will mee' the situation. We want something that will last. O. T., R. F. D. 6.
 A. The sowing of any sort of grair is indicated, either barley, rye O. oats, or any combination. It may b' permissible to SOW such plants al rape and maybe other quick growing plants to help out. More information is really needed.
