mer, when they filled the milk-pail

Drafts under the floors are death
to pigs and even to grown hogs.
Hogs and hens do not go well in
the same house. Don’t try it.
Do not let the brood sows that are
to farrow in the spring become too
fat.
Dark hog houses are not healthful.
Let in the light and keep your pork
ers healthy.
If a small pig is chilled it can be
revived by dipping it into water as
hot as you can bear your hand in,
then wrapping it in warm flannel.
Pigs are not protected from cold
by warm coats of hair, and suffer
greatly if exposed.
An uncomfortable, suffering pig
can not be a profitable one.
Because sheep have warm coats, it
does not follow that they can be ex
posed to wet and storms.
When a sheep gets unruly, the
best thing to do is to take a trip to
the meat man’s and take as your pas
senger that trying sheep.
Millions of pounds of wool are im
ported annually to supply the home
demand. Why not grow this wool
on our own soil and keep the money
in the family?
It pays to feed the colts grain.
Good food and exercise go together.
Turn the colts in the yard every
day for exercise.
A horse’s pulse beat from thirty
six to forty times a minute when he
is in health.
It is impossible to develop a colt
into a sound, serviceable horse if it
is kept tied on a hard floor day in
and day out through the winter.
Stuffing the colt with hay or straw
or any coarse feed will spoil its looks.
Keep this ration down by the use of
some grain and less course feed.
Lop off the ration of all kinds when
the horses are doing little or noth
ing. They are too much like a man
to stand heavy feeding while lying
still.
The cost of twenty or thirty bushels
of oats to feed the colt during the
winter will be worth more than twice
as much in its growth and develop
ment. —Farm Journal.
CORN IN THE FEED LOT.
There is no question but that corn
is pre-eminently the feed for fat
tening animals. That does not mean
that animals in the fattening pen
need no feed but corn, for they do.
Corn is mostly starch, a cargohy
drate element, and fattening stock
needs some protein, and that calls
for a supplemental feed or rough
ness that can supply the needed pro
tein.
How is it best to feed the corn?
Exhaustive experiments seem to in
dicate that the simplest way is the
best way. It has been found that
50 per cent of all the large cattle
feeders of Missouri, lowa and Illi
nois feed husked or unhusked corn
in the ear. They believe that the
less corn is handled the better will
the catle eaat it. This makes feed
ing corn and fodder together direct
ly from the shock a favorite method
in some places. But of the feeders
referred to, 25per cent feed shelled
corn and most of the remaining 25
per cent, fed, crushed, soaked or
ground corn. Only very few feed
ground corn all the time. —Up-to-
Date Farming.
The Road Grafters
Pennsylvania has led the fight in
the nation against road graft and we
are pleased that other states, through
progressive bodies, are working along
the same lines. The fight against
boulevard legislation in this state
is still fresh in the minds of all, and
the Grange in Pennsylvania will con
tinue to contend that road building
should first be done for the greatest
number. Our slogan has been
“Roads from the farms to the mar
ket towns, the creameries and the
railroad stations,” and this will con
tinue to be our slogan. We are un
alterably opposed to boulevard build,
ing in the interest of a few and to a
state bond issue which is being urged
by manufacturing interests, which
THE JEFFERSONIAN
are using other organizations as
clocks.
California has turned down a prop
osition to bond the state and we are
pleased to note that an agressive
force in the fight against the bond
issue was the California State
Grange. The Merchants’ Associa
tion of San Francisco has also won
credit for its part in the fight and
its resolutions sound like Grange
resolutions. They are as follows:
“This act, if adopted, will author
ize the issuance of $18,000,000 in
bonds for the acquisition and con
struction of a state highway. It is
with regret that the board has felt
obliged to disapprove of this act, for
it believes in good roads and believes
in the advisability of (having tee
state build such roads. But the pres
ent act in is present form is objec
tionable.
