PASTURE FOR PIGS
MEANS BEST GAINS

A common practice among CONNER
cial hog men Is to have the sows far
row In the spring as early as possible.
Under such management, there Is less
tendency for the feeder to neglect
the SOW and her pigs ss spring work
has not yet started During the
first few weeks the SOW and her lit
ter usually receive excellent care and
attention but when the pressure Of
spring work comes there is a tenden-
cy to slight the SOW and litter. II q
pasture is provided, the SOW and lit
for the saving Of both time and labor.
The best results In raising hogs are
always obtained upon pasture The
pigs will be induced TO take plenty Of
exercise and be out in the direct rays
Of the sun, which Is stimulant TO
growth. This fact Is not thoroughly
appreciated by all hog men Upon
pasture they will make greater gains
at Is per cent cheaper cost than IN
der any other conditions. The healthy

the pasture affords ideal sanitary con-
ditions. II the weather is very hot,
shade should be provided
Pasture for sows' sucking filters
during the winter will be beneficial.
There are many warm days when the
SOW and litter could be turned upon
winter pasture OF re or some other
seed crop.
A permanent pasture Ike blue grass
sod comes In handy during muddy
spells when other pastures are short
also before other pastures have start
ed growth in the spring. Some feed
ers attempt to have their pigs finish
ed for an early fall market 1t is nee
essary then TO start them upon pas
ture as early as possible and while
they are still nursing The finishing

Sheep Industry Is Due
for Some Big Fat Years

Government statistics show that
In 1900 we had five sheep to every
eight people, IN 1915 we had four
sheep to every eight people and In
1923 we had only three sheep TO every
eight people" was statement made
by 81. E Reed, professor Of animal
husbandry at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. in a discussion on
the history and development of the
sheep industry. Such condition as
this, in addition to the inability Of
the range to increase its present pro-
duction and the improbability Of over
production among farm focks. should
make the sheep mans life 8 pleasant

Live Stock Hints


Treat sheep for stomach worms
Many a good-tempered colt is spoiled
BY bad-tempered owner.
Water horses and mules both before
and after feeding. but never when they
are very hot
Remember that the hind legs of a
horse are his propellers. and that poor
shoe fitting causes much lameness
In the management of all classes Of
live stock. there are times when care
full. watchful attention Is required
That time In sheep production Is the
lambing season
Give sows sucking pigs q liberal
grain mixture.
Feed lambs grain in creep so that
they will be fat and ready for the
market when they weigh GO to 50
pounds
The weaving pigs weighing from 80
to 100 pounds may be fed from 50 TO
IS parts corn. and 10 TO 20 parts tank
age. or instead OF this ration you can
use 10 to 50 parts corn. ten parts
wheat middlings, and ten to 10 parts
,ankage.

atmosphere Of good will that pervaded
the place as surely as wreaths hung

place. She went as naturally as 8
