Farm Features Purebred Hogs
Lechliders' Durocs Are Prize Winners;
Pasture System Produces Top Meat

lider explained, I'VE will not keep
her long. We have to keep a
number of unrelated families SC
we can furnish both male and
female breeding stock for founda-
tion herds"
Mr.. Lechlider thinks the Duroc
makes one of the best hogs to finish
out for the market. He said Durocs
will grow to 220-pound hogs in six
months, which Is better than most
other breeds he has had experience
with.
IF you know how to feed a hog
he said, you will get good meat
without great layers of fat. Hogs
need to be on pasture as much as
possible. and should have access to
prepared feed at all times. Then
they eat when they want to, and
don't lay on great slabs of fat
The Lechliders keep their hogs on
pasture as much of the time as pos
sible. They use automatic feeders
and mix their own feed from home
grown grains. They purchase only
the protein supplement that goes in
the prepared feed.
Alfalfa is grown for pasture only
and lespedeza is made into hay. The
hay is ground and mixed with the
grain and protein that Is fed
through the automatic feeders.
The Lechliders have long believed
in father and son partnerships. The
elder member of the team was In
partnership with his father until he
retired several years ago. Then
young George took over and the
team continued.
George came into the business by
way of the All Club route. When
he got into club work he naturally
turned to hogs, and he kept the first
sow he owned as O boy until he was

Winterize Pastures For Better
Grazing Next Year

Proper winter care of pastures
can mean better grazing for your
cows next spring. According to
Claude Phillips, extension agrono-
mist at the University of Delaware,
taking your cows off pasture now,
spreading the droppings, and hav-
ing your soil tested for lime and
fertilizer needs are the three essen
tials of good winter care.
Phillips says that cows should
not be pastured if the sod is short.
There should be at least 8 to 4
inches of growth over the winter.
This will help avoid winter killing,
and give the grass a better start
next spring.
Spreading the droppings can
mean more even pasture. Where
droppings are left in a pile. there
is a concentration of plant growth
which often gets too high and
tough for cattle to eat. Although
this is recommended practice all
through the pasture season, it is
especially important now.
Soil testing is essential because
without it no farmer knows how
much lime or fertilizer his land
needs. Winter is good time for

from an old orchard and the felo
was planted on the contour to hold
more moisture. Four hundred rods
of bitches were cleaned out to

limestone was added per acre and
400 pounds of 0-12-12.
There is one pasture of 48 acres
now on the farm. Young Phipps
plans to divide the field into sever

Ventilation, Bedding Important In
Wintering Dairy Cows

Wmterlng DAIRY COWS
Plenty of bedding and an efficient
ventilating system are key points
in keeping cows comfortable over
the winter.
According to Kent County Agri-
cultural Agent, w. E. Tarbell, we'll
fed dairy cows do not need warm
quarters in the winter. The large
amount of heat produced in their
bodies by digestion and utilization
of feed takes care of this. If cows
are kept in stanchions and are
moderately well fed, stable temper
atures of about so degrees f. are
satisfactory.
''In this county, where extreme
cold weather is not common, our
most serious problem is to provide
protection from cold raw winds,
cold rains and snow storms, says
ASClLl ldlbSh. OpCA 1lOiAb ASSNiiAS
sheds or covered barnlots do the
trick. Delaware's extension dairy
specialist, Delmar J. Young, said
recently that use of plenty of good
clean absorbent bedding is import
ant. Wheat, barley and oat straw
make satisfactory bedding. Chop
ping the straw saves bedding and
makes manure easier to handle.
Young also pointed out. that an
efficient ventilating system which
will provide fresh air, maintain a
proper temperature, reduce the hui
midity and remove dampness and
foul odors is important. Many calf
and heifer barns lack ventilating
systems. The County Agents Office
in Dover can furnish detailed in
formation on ventilating barns and
winter care of cattle.

RESOLUTIONS FOR
 VETERAN WELFARE GET LEGION OkEH

With First Vice Commander Bob
 Druxman as presiding officer, the Monday night meeting of Juneau
 Post. No. 4, the American Legion, distinguished itself hy passing without opposition, recommenda- tions for the adoption of four reso- lutions with objectives of increas- ing provisions for the welfare ot veterans
 These resolutions are to be writ ten by Druxman for presentation at the Legion's Department of Alaska ! convention in June at Mckinley 1 National Park
 1 They provide: first: endorsement of Uniform Guardianship Act in the territory of Alaska, similar to uniform guardianship acts al- ready existing in many of the states.
 Second: a recommendation for eventually establishing in Alaska, the type of home for veterans where they may receive domiciliary care, as contrasted with hospitali- ration.
 Third: a recommendation that the Department of Alaska petition the national headquarters of the U. s. Veterans Administration to continue the itinerant field service, which service had been recently curtailed inside of the Continental United States, and
 Fourth: that the Department of Alaska petition the Territorial Legislature to adopt the legislation and pass appropriation measures necessary for setting up within the territory a program of apprentice ship training.
 Leo Jewett made report on the Boy Scout troop and summer camp plans. Juneau's Legionnaire, Claude Carnegie, having returned to the city, told of his travels.
 Visiting the post was Howell H. Hough, of Burbank, California Post No. 150. He is an active member of the 40 and 8, and has come to Ju- neau for a visit with his brother, known to Juneau as Deep Water Bill This is somewhat of an event, since the brothers have not seen each other for 29 years.
