SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS"
REGARDING BREEDING OF HOGS
Rouzbase la Ono of Most Important Factors In Wintering
Brood Sows Animals Do Not Thrive Well If Not
Given Sufficient Quantity Scrub II03
Is Not Profitable.
(Dy n. n. laiia.)
The farmers of Dcnmnrk securo the.
best prices for their fancy bacon for
the reason that they hae established
small packing establishments where
they can haul their hogs and get their
pay for the hogs according to their
actual worth. How different from tho
system or lack of system In this
country where wo arc compelled to
tako Just what the packing houso oper-
ators ore a mind to pay us for our
hogs. Will tho tlmo ever come when
our farmers con see tho great benefits
to be derived from co-operation?
Roughage Is ono of the most Impor-
tant factors In wintering thp brood
sows and If they do not get enough
coarse food they will not do well. Corn
and milk aro well balanced as a diet
but there should be something added
to distend tho organs or digestion.
Then again brood sows will keep
more quiet and contented If they are
given alfalfa clover or some kind of
roughage to work over during the day.
Good 'corn stover Is better ttaa noth-
ing and tho sows will work It over and
cat large quantities of It every day.

them rational care until grass comes

A Type of
Hog That Is
pearlng.
Fast Dlsap-
tho middle of Juno will mako better
money for his feed than he will on any
bunch of pigs that he feeds during
the year.
Do not be afraid to give Bhoats plen-
ty of rango during the winter provid-
ing of course that youihave good dry
sleeping places and warm houses to
shelter them during the extremely cold
weather.
On each and every farm there should
bo some provision made for dipping
hogs. This not only proves to be an
caBy and effectual way of disinfecting
animals which are brought on tho
farm but It also beeps them freo from
lice.
Possibly there 1b no other farm ani-
mal that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as tho scrub hog. Ho
Is an unprofitable animal nny way you
take him.
As nn economical pork producer ho
Is a failure. Even his ability to shift
for himself does not recommend him
to tho people within the limit of his
range as he has tho reputation of prey-
ing upon neighboring corn fields when
food is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living since ho Is long-
legged narrow In tho chest has n
long narrow snout. This adapts lilui
to his manner of living. With the
scrub hog It Is "root hog or die" henco
tho long snout. Ills narrow body aids
him In getting through small fence
cracks and If he falls to find a placo
large enough to go through the fence
ho can soon dig under It with his long
snout.
There Is no standard of excellence
for the scrub hog since he may pos-
sess almost any form except a beauti-
ful one; he may be of any color.
He has tho reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He Is regarded ao being able to re-
sist disease better than tho Improved
breeds of hogs. Wo very much
doubt whether this quality attributed
to the scrub hog Is true since we havo
noticed that hug cholera takes tho
ecrubs as well as tho well-bred hog.
Ono thing Is sure that the scrub hog
can consume more valuable feed and
glvo less In return than any other
animal that wo know of.
A farmer who owns a herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn crib
than his bogs.
He never gets rich selling pork and
In fact If bo depended upon his hogs
Pair of Champion Berkshlres.
to mako him money to buy better bred
hogs he would never own better ones.
Tho scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that bo is not able to
buy any better stock. In fact this is
tho excuse usually given for hlB exist-
ence. Poor farming and scrub hogs
ore usually found associated together.
Tbcy aro near and dear companions.
Both mako n rapid retreat beforo a
progressive spirit and thoreB not a
better evidence of the general progres-
-
Blvencss of a people than the nbsenco
of tho scrub hog from a community.
Too much stress cannot bo laid on
selecting breeding Bwlne from sound
healthy parents. Animals that ore not
strong In constitution cannot with-
stand dlseaso ns well as those which
are strong In that respect. In caso
hogs arc troubled with disease It Is
almost Impossible to glvo them mcdl
clno or anything clso that will prove-

and Grain Storage Rooms.
very helpful. About all wc can do Is
to feed a ration that can bo easiljr di-
gested and keep them in clean quar-
ters thoroughly disinfect the pens and
let tho dlscaso run its course.
Wholo milk Is ono of the best feeds
for hogs that aro suffering with dis-
ease of any kind. It la on excellent
feed and has often been of great as-
sistance In bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
Thero Is no disputing the fact that
corn Is an Ideal hog feed but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
sults can be brought about by feeding
a ration that Is composed of less than
two-thirds corn. It is a mlstako to
think wo cannot afford to buy other
feeds to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily It Is a mistake rot to
feed tho hogs the liquid beforo tho
solid food.
See that the hogs havo comfortable-
quarters now and tho months to
come. Failure hero will Impair tho
usefulness of the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to 12
pounds of meat llvo weight for each
bushel of corn eaten but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
Tho cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours In pigs because tho skim-
milk can always be fed whllo sweet.
When tho sow of good typo has
proven herself a prolific breeder an
economical feeder and a good mother
It is n good plan to keep her several
years.
The mature sow requires only food
for maintenance whllo tho growing ono
needs food far growth. Furthermore
the older ono will havo an appetite f'-r
waste that a young one would not care
for.

Whllo thq corn picker Is a compara-
tively now member of tho corn-machine
lino nevertheless it Is destined
to becomo a very Important one.
Beforo tho advent of tho high-priced
help and beforo It became so scarce
the harvesting of tho corn crop waa
not such a serious problem. Modern
Ideas and changes in tho methods of
living however have brought about
a shortage in tho supply of farm labor.
This shortage Is very pronounced
especially In tho husking season when
extra help is needed. For this reason

farmers aro moro than ever in ncod
of a machine which will husk the corn
from the standing stalks a machHe
which will do tho work of several men.
Heretofore about an aero was con
stdered an average day's work for ono
man. A corn picker however will
husk several times this number of
acres. A corn picker will however
not only do tho work of several men
but It will deliver tho ear corn to tbo
wagon in much better condition than
Is dono ordinarily when busking by
hand.
Tho corn picker 1b not the inspira-
tion of a minute. It is tho work of
yearn. Whllo necessity wbb the mother
of Its Invention yet It was hard work
that overcamo tho difficulties that con
fronted tho designers ot this machine.
Ono by ono these difficulties havo been
overcome nnd tho machine Is now
perfected so that it does a very t.lgh
class of work.
Large Pear Orchard.
Mr. Cornell who has a large orchard
of Worden-Seckel pears In the Hudson
Itivcr Valley was asked to glvo his ex-
perience with them and Btato their
value as compared with tho Seckel
pear. He snld the Seckel pear is larg-
er than tho old Seckel. It Is very val-

bears good crops but the quality Is
not quite equal to the Seckel. It

who had a rash on Its bead when It
was real young. Doctor called It baby

no good. In a few days tbo head was

awful; the child cried continually. Wo
had to hold him nnd watch him to
keep htm from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
wo remembered Cutlcura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cutlcura Ho-
