Agricultural Hints

Potato varieties do not cross in
the field. New varieties are pro-
duced from real seeds.
Agricultural conditions in Great
Britain are much better than a
year ago.
Yellow corn meal has more of
vitamin A than white meal, but
otherwise the food value is about
the same.
Trees grow best on well cultivat-
ed soil which slopes to the north or
east. Loose. porous soil is much
better than hard clay.
Probably no subject has taken
more space in the bee journals or
caused more study and discussion
among beekeepers than the sub
ject of swarm control.
Broccoli, known in Italy for more
than a hundred years, was not
widely known in the United States
until 1918.
According to recent figures, near
ly 100000 rural boys and girls
are enrolled in All clubs in nearly
5000 counties in the United States.
Trials show that forest soils soak
up so times as much water as the
same area of bare soils and from
3 to 20 times as much water as
pasture land.

Sanitation Pays
in Raising Hogs
Quarters, Feeding, Handling
Are Important Points as
Economy Measure.
BY PROF JOHN p wILLMAN. New York
State College of Agriculture
WNJJ Service

BY PROF. JOHN P. WILLMAN. New York

WNU Service.
The hog has been called ian ami
NAL that deserves it's name," but
when it comes to economy in con-
verting feed into edible meat, the
hog excels all other farm animals.
AS one of the best housekeepers,
hog will keep his quarters clean
If given chance. He should not
be criticized too severely for dig
ging holes in the ground or for wal
lowing in the mud, because this is
the only way the hog has to cool
himself
Swine are not equipped with so
many sweat glands as are other
farm animals, and for this rea-
son they like to dampen their bod
les to become cool.
Many farmers would undoubted-
ly find that their hogs would be
more profitable with more sanitary
quarters and better feeding and
handling. Every breeder should
aim to produce the type of pig
that feeders, breeders, and butch
ers demand, and he should do his
best to enable his swine to convert
as economically as possible the va
rious feeds suitable for swine into
food for human use.
