Raising Orphan Pigs Is
Rather Difficult Task

1t is a very difficult task to raise
young pigs, since they must be fed
from six to eight times per day for
the first week or so. After that the
time between feeding may be In
creased.
Whole. sweet. fresh cows milk is
considered best. Don't aduiterate It
Sow's milk is richer in all nutriments
and especially fats than cows milk.
Handled pigs are more likely to be
overfed than underfed when 1t Is un-
derstood that sow has only about
one quart of milk per day for whole
litter of pigs. A little more cows
milk can be fed than sow's milk. Add
a few middlings to the milk when the
pigs are about two weeks old. The
great danger with pigs fed by hand is
Indigestion. A little castor oil is good
for this.

HOW TO KEEP FLIES
AWAY FROM ANIMALS

There is probably nothing that win
keep flies away from live stock. to the
extent that they will not be more or
less irritated by them.
Most Of the coal tar products used
for dips" to kill external parasites
are useful when used over the body,
well diluted and applied from q spray
pump. Oil or tar or pine tar can often
be used to advantage in protecting
places that have become sore from the
irritation Of flies.
The following mixture has usually
given as much satisfaction rs any
other: Synthetic oil of sassafras. four
ounces; lard. or neatsfOot oil, two
pints. and crude petroleum enough to
make one gallon. This will cost about
81 gallon.
A less expensive mixture and one
that will not need to be applied al
often as the other Is as follows: Fish
oil. 100 parts; oil of tar. so parts. and
crude carbolic acid, 1 part.
The best time to swat the ny" Is
before he is born. Allowing piles OF
manure to accumulate in the stables
and yards, for flies to breed in, and
then applying some kind Of dope" to
keep flies away from the animals. ID

Separate Self-Feeders
Are Gaining Popularity

Settled hogs gain IA per cent faster
than when handled. according to
thorough tests at the Missouri agri-
cultural experiment station. Yet hogs
self-fed require no more feed to pro-
duce a given amount Of gain than
when handled. Hence the practice
is a labor saver. When each feed is
placed in separate self-feeder the
hogs will choose the different feeds so
that the gain will be both rapid and
economical.
Experiments here have shown that
the proper use of supplementary feeds
like tankage, linseed oil meal or wheat
middlings increase the profits derived
from swine feeding. A ton Of tank
age saves 1863 bushels of corn. A ton
Of linseed oil meal saves 80 bushels
and ton of wheat mIddlings saves
3S bushels.
These experiments have shown that
tattening hogs gained % per cent
faster on ration Of corn and wheat
middlings than on corn alone, 81 per
cent faster on corn and linseed oil
meal, 80 per cent faster on corn and
tankage, and 38 per cent faster on
corn and soy beans.
The saving of grain resulting from
the use Of pasture crops Is found to
be from 20 to so per cent.

Bees Quite Valuable to
Manv Growers of Fruit

Commercial beekeepers of today
move their bees many times each year
to keep them busy making honey after
the honey flow slows down in one To-
cation. To move n colony of bees
care must be taken to give them plenty
of air, as the jarrlng and excitement
cause them to create great amount
of heat. This excess heat will melt
the combs and honey. By removing
the lid of the beehive and mailing a
screen on top of the hive in place of
the lid the bee man will give this
heat Il chance to escape. The bees
should be moved on n cool night If pos
sible.
In some fruit districts the fruit
growers pay the beekeepers 80 cents
colony and move them besides to
their orchards, to pollinate the fruit
bloom. There are many fruit and ber-
nv Yields that would be raised at a
loss if 1t were not for the bees pol
llnating the flowers.

Silo Is Cheap and Best
Means of Providing Feed

The silo Is the best and cheapest
means of providing succulent feed not
only for winter, but as n supplement
to short pastures during the long, dry
summer months, according to the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, which
states In recent bulletin:
1t is the cheapest farm building
that can be erected.
1t will house feed at lower cost per
pound than hay or roughage can be
protected from the weather by barn
or hay NOV.
1t Increases the producing capacity
of the farm at least 10 per cent and
will often increase its stock-carrying
capacity 25 per cent.
1t Is the cheapest and most effective
method of soiling.
1t Is the cheapest place to store
the corn crop. and, in fact, one of the
silo's greatest advantages is the DOS
siblllty 1t affords If utilizing all Of
the corn crop. An acre Of corn can
be placed in the silo at a cost not
exceeding that of shocking, husking,
grinding and shredding and will pre-
serve more nutrients and will produce
more milk per acre than any other
system Of handling the crop.
1t saves third Of the value of the
corn crop that is otherwise largely
wasted.
1t supplies feed at less labor and
there Is less waste Of fodder by cows

Cultivation Is
Very Important
Feeding Roots of Plants
Must Be Given Chance to
Penetrate Soil.

All the fertilizer In the world With
out proper cultivation won't make a
sood garden. If gardener expects
TO have garden without cultiyatinp
early and often, he will be dlsappoint-
Ell. lie might as well give up ut the
start Cultivation not only acts as n
fertilizer. but saves fertilizer. II also
saves water bills in dry weather.
The first object of cultivation is to
secure tlth-that is fine powdery
condition of the soil so that when
turned over It will fall apart easily
and not separate into big, soggy Jumps
that need to be hammered to be
broken. 1t is apparent that the small
teeding roots Of plants can penetrate
and secure their food much more read
lily In well-tilled, friable soil than in
a heavy. lumpy, soggy one.
Cultivate Every Week.
The garden should be gone over and
cultivated once week. By this Is
meant not only the destruction of
weeds but the stirring of the soil about
the plants. Cultivation should be done
after rain, us soon as the soil has
dried out enough so as not to be
muddy and stick to the tools. This
would result only in lumpy condi-
ton. Cultivation Just before water
Ing In dry times will also tend to make
the soil lumpy. Cultivate after water
Ing to keep the moisture In the ground.
There Is right time to cultivate and
1t will pay gardener to study the
soil until he recognizes the condition
which will permit fine cultivation as
soon after rain or after watering
as possible.
Cultivation helps to retain moisture
In the soil by establishing q thin cover
Ing of thinly divided soil often called
dust mulch. This does not evaporate
moisture as rapidly as closely packed
surface nor does it act us sponge
to draw up moisture from below as
rapidly as does firm and uustirred
soil Drawn to the surface by capil-
larry attraction the sun and winds soon
take moisture away.
Cultivate more frequently in dry
than wet weather. An inch or two in
depth is sufficient. 1t will let air into
the soil to keep it sweet and keep the
moisture from escaping.
Morning Best Time.
The best time for cultivating is ear
ly in the morning to conserve such
moisture as has descended during the
night and prepare for the sun and
winds during the day.
The common hoe and the rake nre
excellent tools for this purpose in
small gardens, but to make good job
of 1t In gardens of any size, wheel
hoe should be brought into action.
You can go over the garden in n hurry
and It can be cultivated twice or more
times In the time it would take to go
over 1t once with hoe besides saving
the WEAKNESS and backache that fol-
low swinging a hoe for any length Of
time.

Soy Beans Superior

Combination With Corn.

High-yielding soy beans Of such seed
varieties as Manchu have nn assured
pace In fall finishing Of fattening pigs,
In the light of recent tests ut Iowa
state college. The leafy varieties,
such as are used for hay or silage, ara
not us well adapted to hog forage as
such crops as alfalfa, clover or rape,
these tests indicate. Common farm
practice. particularly in hogging down
corn, would support this view.
Soy beans make strong combinatio

tests the pigs, Weighing about 12O

Manchu soy beans; and they ate only
S43 pounds for each 100 pounds gain
In weight. The mineral mixture was
made from 40 pounds spent bone black,
40 pounds limestone and 20 pounds
salt.
Soy beans for forage did not prove
as efficient as rape for pigs in these
Iowa tests. Soy bean hay varieties
made poor economical showing. Soy
beans do not have as long a growing
season. are not as palatable and are
more easily killed by frost as COM
pared with clover, alfalfa or Dwarf Es-
sex rape. These last-named forages
fit in best for spring and midsummer
hog pasture, while good seed va
riety of soy beans fills the need for
fall finishing, balancing up the corn
economically when minerals are fed in
addition.

three ounces of syrup. one and one-half
pints of water, and one-fourth of an
orange which is chopped up into small
bits. AS soon as the cutworms ap-
