See that vegetables are thinned
properly all over the garden. Too

II must be remembered that sweet
clover is a biennial and If II Is to be
used for pasture, some should be sown
each year.
Selection of seed corn in the field

first step in the control of corn ear,

Save your seed corn for next yeal

on the side of the wagon makes a
good place to put the field selected
seed ears.
Rotating the hog lots and pastures
so as to keep free from disease and

Quantity Of Grain to
Be, Fed During Summer

One of the greatest problems in
pork production is that of determin-
ing the quality of grain to be fed dur.
ing the summer to growing pigs. The
most common practice is to limit the
grain to the amount that will allow
for a slow rate Of growth, as it is as
sumed chat with concentrates high in
price the cost of grains on full feed
will not be economical. In summer.
pastures are a cheaper source of nu-
trients than are other feeds. More
efficient use of pasture crops is made
by hungry pigs than by those having
plenty of grain. consequently limiting
the allowance of grain is logical if
one of the main considerations is re-
get as high return as possible per
acre of pasture.

How to Clean Silver

TO remove tarnish from silver,
place three teaspoonfuls of salt, three
teaspoonfuls of soda and three quarts
of water in bright aluminium pan
with the silver. The solution must
cover the silver. Boil three minutes.
Remove the silver, rinse in hot water
and dry. An old aluminium pan may
be kept for this purpose but it should
not be used for cooking. A bright
piece of aluminium may be used with
the solution in an enamel-ware pan,
provided each piece of silver touches
the metal direct or through another
piece.
This method of cleaning is satisfac-
tory with solid or plated silver. II

Pigs bv Saving Them

The sure way to make money rails
ing pigs is to save them. Every little
pig that is lost increases the cost of
those saved. Very commonly one third
to one-half the pigs farrowed die be-
fore weaving time. A pig at farrow-
ing time is worth or has cost approx
mately three dollars, and it pays well
to keep as many of them alive as pos.
sible. Aim to be on hand when the
