STOCK K
YOUNG PORKER WILL
MAKE CHEAPER GAIN
When does a pig make its cheapest
gains, and when does It sell for the
highest price per poundF This Is a
question that often confronts the
farmer who Is raising pigs for the
market, saya Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief
of the animal husbandry division at
Clemson college, In discussing the
marketing of hogs.
Experimental data prove beyond a
•doubt that the younger the pig the
cheaper the gains. A review of,the
pig market reveals another very In
teresting fact, namely, that feeder
pigs sell for a higher price per pound
than those which are ready for the
block. If we put these two ideas to
gether It would seem that there 1*
more money In producing feeder pigs
than there Is In producing fat hogs
ready for mgrket. Of course thefe are
many factors, says Professor Starlcey,
to take into consideration In produc
ing feeder pigs. For example, fairly
large litters must be raised. If the
herd does not average at least six pigs
per litter there will be no money In It.
Large litters and cheap . pigs go to
gether.
One reason why feeder pigs are so
much in demand Is that there are so
many who do not keep a brood sow
and yet they want one or two pigs to
fatten for pork. .
The man who produces feeder pigs
on a large scale must have consid
erable equipment. Several small lots
are necessary in order that not more
than two brood sows may he In a lot
ITanally good results cannot he ob
tained by keeping several brood sows
and Utters together.
With the small-lot proposition there
also comes the problem of fresh weter.
Running streams are Ideal for
hogs, but hard to keep fenced. If
water la piped to the lota, care must
be taken so that there win he no mud
wallows.
Male pigs should be castrated al
from six to ten weeks ^of age. The
younger they are castrated the 1*«
will be the ahoefc. The beat time to
wean feeder pigs la when they AM
eight weeks of age.
The greatest demand for
pigs Is In the fall when corn Is ready
to be u*ed. At this tlme^carjot ship
ments can be made.
Proper^Ration for Mare
Is of Much Importance
"The best time to grow fo«ls, and
the time when they will make their
largest gains Is when they are being
carried by their dams,” says N. K.
Cornea of the animal husbandry divi
sion at University farm at St Paul,
Minn. “Many farmers do not realise
this, and begin feeding the mare a
proper ration only after the foal Is
here. The brood mare, whdn in foal,
should be fed a high protein ration, a
ration which Is rich In muacle and
bone building material. »ThIs material
Is supplied In the form of s, bran
and oil meal, as a cottcentrite, and
clover or alfalfa hay as a roughage.
"The most common causes for
losses among foals are constipation
and navel trouble. As soon as tfte
young foal arrives, see that he gets a
good drink of his mother’s first milk.
This fore-milk or colostrum has purga
tive properties snd will usually clear
the foal’s Intestines of the excrement
accumulated prior to birth. If the
digestive tract is not cleaned by the
fore-milk, give the foal a tiblespoon
fnl of castor oil and a warm water and
soap rectal Injection.
“Another thing the farmer must
watch out for is navel Infection. If
pus and disease germs get Inside the
body through the opening of the um
bilical cord, a local Infection or ‘joint
111’ may develop and the foal be lost.
The best way to prevent this Is to
keep the stable In a sanitary condition
and treat the cord immediately after
♦lie foal is born with horjc add powder
or tincture of tdoine."

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
AIDS ROAD SURFACE
When a man or a family gets used
ta eating pancakes for breakfast. It
takes an extra effort and much adver
tising to make them believe that there
1* a breakfast food (hat is cheaper and
better. It Is the same with everything.
Reads and automobiles are no excep
tion.
We have our present style automo
bile driven hy the two rear wheels.
The two front wheels carry about the
same load, many times there is more
weight on the front wheels than the
rear ones. And at 111 the rear wheels
are compelled to do the pulling for all
four.
In traveling around the country on
dirt or gravel roads yon wiil notice the
road surface is full of short little holes
dug Into the road hy this pull on the
wheels. Because the pull on the road
surface with the present style drive Is
exactly equal to the pull on the tire
surface, any dirt or gravel road will
give way under such a pull or strain.
This strain or pull on the road sur
face Is entirely gone from' the front
wheels. If we used horses to pull title
auto Instead of an engine, we would
do away with all this pull by the
wheels op the road surface.
Now, it was never tmppoaed that
rolling a road did It any harm. Neither
would rolling an auto over the road
do touch harm. By driving an auto
over the road with all four wheels
turning together we would he as near
the tilling idea as possible. By turn
ing all four wheels at the same time
they simply act aa rollers and do not
dig into the road aurface enough to
pull It loose.

POULTRY
♦ ♦
RAISE POULTRY FEED
BY HAVING TWO LOTS
When open range Is not available
iiml liens must be confined, we recom
mend Hie division of the hen yard into
two lots, so that’green food can he
grown on one side while the other
patch is being grimed. Aa soon as the
green stullf is two or three Inches high
the liens may he turned on it, while
(he other lot may be prepared and
sowed again. This plan provides
plenty of green, succulent feed
throughout the year for the average
farm ,'Jock. Sooner or later we will
have two or more such lots fenced in
on our farms, with the hen house so
placed with reference to convenience
for the caretaker. l ot? containing an
sere or more, divided by fences, and
large enough to provide considerable
pasturage for the family cow and a
growing heifer are very desirable for
growing farm poultry. The pigs
should not he turned in, however, for
as a rule pigs and chickens do not go
well together.
There are times when the poultry
do some hhrm to some of the crops at
or soon after planting ilme, Hut after
they have a good start this is not very
often the case. Take corn,’for in
stance. after ft is a fobt high and
from then on It Is hard tft find a
better rtm for poultry. They help
work the crop, destroy Insects, and
the corn in turn furnishes the much
needed shade. Hawks, by the way,
can do Tittle harm to birds on range
in a rhrn field. v
Tlie green crops to be grown should
he suited to local conditions as well
as to the proper time to plant in order'
to have a succession of green crops
throughout the year.
^Tliere* wee tl*ue# . when these lots
shown not be grassed too closely, but
allowed to get a fresh start, so here
Is where the other yard comes In play.
Birds can be shifted from one to the
other, thus saving both pasture lots
much longer.
Thickly sown crops furnish succu
lent feed and summer shade.
From April 1 to July T on growing
yard 1—Oats, chard or lettuce, clover
or vetch, sunflowers, cowpeas, rape.
For feeding purposes on yard 2—
Winter rye, winter vetch, sweet clover
and ^various other green clover crops.
From July 1 to October 1 the oats,
chard and lettuce, clover and vetch,
cowpeas and rape on yard 1 may be
fed, while buckwheat, dwarf Essex
rape and lint turnips are grown on
yard 2. I .
From ‘October 1 to April the grow
ing crops on yard 1 should! consist of
oats, winter rye, winter vetch, sweet
clover and crimson clover, while at
the same time yard 2 could be grow
ing buckwheat, dwarf Essex rape, flat
turnips and soy beans.
We, in tills state, are blessed with
a climate that makes It possible to
have some green pasturage crop grow
ing at all seasons. It is one of the
very best and cheapest foods for our
poultry as well as other live stock.—
Allen 6. Oliver, in Charge, Office of
Poultry Extension, North Carolina
tjtnte Agricultural College.
Proper Plan of Packing
Will Prevent Breakage
Careful packing prevents breakage
In market eggs. The poultry depart
ment of the New Jersey experiment
station recommends this plan of pack
ing. First, place an excelsior pad In
the bottom of each compartment of
the crate. Directly upon this pad
place a filler and fill with eggs as
usual, packing tin? eggs small end
down. If no flat Is placed over the
pads, the eggs will bed themselves
in the excelsior and ride safely. Three
layers jhould be packed as usual, al
ternating flat, and filler, with an ex
celsfor pad Instead of a flat on ton
of the third layer. Continue to fill
the crate, using filler, flat and filler.
Oft the top use an excelsior pad with
no flat.
Useful Chamois
The chamois Is abetut the slsse ot s
large goat, but the neck Is longer la
proportion and the body shorter. Tha
flesh of tlie chamois Is highly es
teemed and its skin Is made Into
leather, the original “gliammysklB"
being obtained from this animal.
Charter Lived Century
The Montgomery charter, given t*
Ike city of New York by John Mont
gomery, the governor general of New
York, and New Jersey under King
George II, and dated January 15, 1T80,
continued in force until 1880.
