SUMMER CARE OF THE PIGS
One May See Pretty Good Profit In
_ Feeding at Present High Price
of Feed and Pork.
Many farmers think that they can-
not afford to feed the pigs liberally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves in
many instances, and, of course, do
not make much growth, but one may
gee a pretty good profit in feeding at
the present high prices of both feed
and pork,
* The hogs will just about live on the
pasture they can gather from the
field, and what grain is given them
goes to growth, and any one who has
tried it has found that only a moder
ate ration fed to the shoats on pas-
ture will make a good growth
throughout the season.
Early spring pigs of any breed can
be made to average a pound of gain
la day by the time they are eight or
“en months old, and a parge part of
{this can be made on pasture.

CARE OF THE DAIRY HEIFER
| Object Should Be to Keep Young Ani-
mals in Growing Condition With-
out Becoming Too Fat. i
(By C. H. ECKLES, Missouri College of
: : Agriculture) :
Little difficulty is encountered in
raising calves from the time of wean-
ing until ready to come into milk. If |
the young animals are on pasture, no
further attention is necessary, since
grass furnishes the best and usually
the cheapest growth.” :
The winter ration should consist of
all the roughness the animal will con-
sume, and a small amount of grain
in addition. The object should be to
keep the young animals in a growing
condition without becoming excessive-
ly fat. The liberal use of roughness
is desirable, since it is usually the
cheapest. feed at hand, and, ‘further,
it is generally believed by experienced
breeders that the consumption of large
| amounts of roughness while young
helps to develop the organs of diges-
tion to the maximum, which is desir-
able when the cow comes into milk.
The roughness should by all means
consist of some legume, as clover, al-
falfa or cowpea hay, on account of the
palatability and high protein and ash
content of this class of feeds. Corn
silage is also well adapted for part
of the ration, but should always be
combined with some leguminous hay
or with a ration of grain that sup- |
plies ample material for growth, such
as wheat, bran or oats.
SWISS ARE FOND OF CHEESE
Zermatt, Cut With Hatchet, Is Consid-
ered Most Important on All
Ceremonious Occasions.
In Switzerland every one seems to
be born with a taste for cheese, and
the harder the cheese the better they
like it. :
Zermatt cheese is so hard that it
has to be cut with a hatchet, but its
use is considered most important and
necessary on all ceremonious occa-
sions.
The rank of a Swiss family is often
known by the age of its cheese, and
the more respect or affection that a
guest inspires the harder is the
cheese that is served in his honor.
These are families where the cheese
in the larder dates back several hun-
dred years and is so valuable that it is
only served on great occasions such
as baptisms, weddings and funerals.
On the birth of an heir a cheese is |
made and named, and it is not cut
until tke wedding of the new arrival
