Hogs Should Be ; Bown on Speclally Drained and Prepared Land. To produce ork profitably hogs snust feed and graze continuously on pastures and crops-particularly plant- ed for them. Very seldom is the Profitable Type. growing of hogs for slaughter a source of profit unless proper grazing | and feeding methods are followed. In the spring, summer and fall | there are many crops for pasturing | hogs, but during the winter the crops | to select from are limited. On almost | every farm the production and keep- | ing of hogs in winter is expensive, and | generally it is not profitable for the | reason that large quantities of corn are fed without products of green | crops. More winter grazing is needed, for which many crops are adapted. The most rellable are, however, rape, | rye, oats, wheat and barley. For grazing purposes these pastur- | ing crops for hogs should be sown on | specially well drained and prepared | Jand that is either rich or has re-| celved a liberal application of ma- | mure. Good winter pasturage is not | obtained except on the best drained | jands. | The seeding should be heavy to in-| gure a thorough planting. The young plants will grow slowly in the winter and many plants will be needed to | furnish plenty of pasture. Crimson clover will do well with rape, rye, oats, wheat and barley, and will mean an jmprovement an the land.

Because of the ease with which they take advantage of improved conditions and the won- derful improvement to be noted in form and size, no other class of live stock furnishes more satisfaction tothe conscientious breeder. He has many different qualities to choose from, all good, but not all aitke suited in tem- permanent to one locality or one meth- od of management. Then, again, different types attract different tastes, and the breeder must choose the breed that most nearly | conforms to his particular purpose and preference, remembering always to select animals showing strong in breed chosen, says the Orange Judd rmer. In breeding for improvement in any { varlety much can be accomplished. each effort if rightly conducted and a | breeder may reasonably expect satis- | factory results in molding a hog to his | own ideas within three or four genera- tions. With such rapid progress swine breeding proves extremely fascinating, but great danger lies hidden in such rapid progress.

On most farms feed for the flock is scattered about on the ground. and the chickens are continually fed with- in a small space. The surface of the ground soon hecomes foul with the droppings of the flock. True, sunshine acts as a germicide, and if the space is at all sloping, the washing of the rain helps some, but generally the spot is level and often muddy. The ground quickly becomes con- taminated with the continual tramping of the flock, and if there be one sick fowl the whole flock may soon become infected. This is especially true with small chicks and young turkeys. The spading up of the feeding place once or twice a week will bring good resultss It will tend to purify the ground. It will induce exercise on the part of the flock, which is always de- sirable. Especially ig this true when the flock is confined in yards, and green feed, so necessary, is difficult to obtain. If grain is scattered as one spades up the ground, much will be buried so deep that hens will not scratch it out and it will be thrown up at the next spading with green, succulent blades that are greatly relished by the flock.

Experiments have shown that eat- tle given plenty of water with their pasture contained more moisture and less dry matter than did the carcasses of eattle given pasture, but no =ad- ditional moisture. It is a generally accepted principle of feeding that it costs more and mo-e to produce meat as the moisture decreases and’ the dry matter #pereases. From, this we are able to deduce the fact that ft cost less to grow the steers; || that have plenty of water, and 80 made watery carcasses than it did. to grow steers that had no water othe» than in their food and pro-i duced a dry carcass. What is true in the cases of steers would hold equally true with sheep. |! Sheep given plenty of water will pro- duce mutton more cheaply than will! sion will be more active fn the one case than im the other, and that is: another reasen why mutton produc- tion would be cheaper. There is considerable water in any lof the pasture crops that sheep eat, the dew that collects on tle grass ‘blades in early morning and late even- Ing; but from these two sources, ‘while it gets enough water to: Kdep it alive, a sheep still does not get enough to keep it in the very best erowing condition nor to keep all its bodily processes going on fm the most effective manner possibife. There is not an organ in the body that can functfon properly without water to aid it. Being one of the chief constituents of blood, water is carried to every part of the system, and not alone helps it in getting its nourishment, but also in ridding # of impuritiés.

One farmer overcame this difficulty by setting the trough on the outside of the fence and hinging a panel of the fence so that the bottom would swing outward. A stop is placed at each end to hold the panel in place while the food is poured in the trough. The stops are. also used to prevent the penel from. being pushed farther than the outside; of the trough. The feod is placed in the trough evenly and then the stops! the qutside edge of the trough. The trough should be secured to the fence post at each end. RESTOCKING THE HOG HERD, All Animals Passing Through Out- break of Cholera Can Be Regarded as Permanently Immune. Farmers who have lost all or part, of their hogs from cholera are asking for advice as to the best way of re stocking their herds. In this connec tion there are a number of things to| be kept in mind. All hogs that pass) through an outbreak of cholera can! be regarded as being permanently im- mune, especially if they showed symp-| toms of the disease. However only 2 small portion of a herd will survive, an outbreak unless the serum treat: ment is employed. In herds treated’ with serum, provided there were un-, doubted cases of cholera prevalent, all hogs surviving ean be resonably regarded as being immune.
