FEEDING BREEDING SOWS
The kind of feeds that faiwens, which |
in this country is chiefly corn, ought
never to be given to sow bearing pigs. |
Oats or fine wheat, mill feed, will furn
ish the same nutrition, but these must
be given only moderately. The larger
bulk of food should be given in the
form that will best promote digestion, |
which in our experience is either beets |
or turnips. The former the sows are |
very fond of, hut as all beets contain
some sugar, it is better to feed the
turnips early, reserving the beets and

RAISE MORE SHEEP
Unfortunately for our own inleres
sheep were made the handmaidens ©
political managors, and through the in. |
fluence of the pewspapers the farmers
were led to believe that tariff tinkering |
had ruined the sheep business. But it
fz a fact thet we should all fully under. |
stand that the failing off in price of |
wool and mutton has not been any more |
marked than that of wheat or any |
other of our farm products, and we |
can make as much clear cash from |
sheep to-day as we can from anything |
we may raise and some of our best
writers on the subject, such as Prof. |
Shaw, feel safe in advising the farmers |
to imcrease thelr flocks at once. The
almost incurable injury that thought
lose men can inflict on the people by
misrepresentation can be seen in this
cage, Of one thing we may be quite
sure, there are millions of people who
would be glad to eat mutton every day
who do not now ever taste it, because
they have not the wherewith to buy it,
and they do nol wear warm all-woo!
