CORRECT RATIONS FOR PIGS
Animals on Pasture Will Gain Rapidly
If Given Additional Allowance
of Oraln Feed.
Pigs, groin-fed on pasture, will gain
a pound or mors a dny from weaning
jto a weight of 200 to 290 pounds, while
ithose getting little or no gruln will
!galn but one-half to three-quarters of
a pound per day. Tjfejs will bring
spring pigs to a markenrhn weight In
early fall, at the period of high prices,
whereas those being pastured only are
not ready for market until a month or
two Inter. A grain ration, by bring-'
lug the hogs to an earlier market, re
duces the time of feeding, the risk, and
the Interest on the Investment. The
animals are In higher condition, with
a finer and more palatable meat and
fat
Farmers substituting pasture entire
ly for grain and other concentrated
feed* to their market hogs through the
summer will And that before'market-
Ing In the fall It will be advisable to
feed grain to harden the soft fat and
meat and put on additional weight.
Light but steady grain feeding on
pasture, however, gives better result*
than a heavier feeding during a short
er finishing period.
GOOD RAM ALWAYS CHEAPEST
Scrub Animal Is Particularly Expan
sive at Present High Price* of
Wool and Lamb*.
A scrub ram I* expensive at any time
"but doubly so at the present high price
of wool and lambs. A good ram has
many times proved to l>e more than
"half the flock." Many successful and
progressive sheep breeders truce their
start on the road to success to the pur
chase of a good ram. Sometimes the
price of the rum hns looked high, but
time proved U to bo the cheapest and
by far the best Investment ever mnde.
At the University of Missouri college
of agriculture a good mutton ram, such
as any farmer could purchase at S3O
•to $lO this season, bred to western
•(Colorado) ewes, sired lambs that av
eraged two and a half pounds more at
three months of age, when they were
marketed, than lambs, out of the same
class of ewes, which were sired by an
inferior or scrub rain. Furthermore
iambs aired by the superior ram sold
for CO per cent more per 100 pounds
.than by the loferior ram.

With the exception of alfalfa on
fertile soils, no other leguminous crop
will furnish as much nutritious pas
turage from early spring until late
fall as sweet clover, when It Is prop
erly handled. Live stock thrive on It.
Animals which have never been fed
sweet clover may refuse to eat It at
first, but this distaste can be over
come by turning them on the pasture
ns soon ns the plants start growth.
There Is practically no danger from
bloat from sweet clover, according to
Farmers' Bulletin 820, "Sweet Clover;
Utilization," which has Just been Is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture.
HOGS NEED SUCCULENT FEED
Pumpkins Arc Excellent for Swine Be
cause Beeds Are Especially Good
Worm Exterminators.
Pumpkins make good hog feed.
Hogs need a little succulence of some
kind to keep thera In good condition
and help them make the best use of

for hogs because the seeds are excel
lent worm exterminators. Keep that
in mind.
CAN DEPEND ON DAIRY COWS
Preservation of Milk Is as Esaentlal a*
Production— Out All Dls
ea*e Germ*.
The dairy cow will be culled upon
to yield hur maximum share of fhe
world's food supply during the com
ing months of war. She can be de
pended upon for production, but pres
ervation of the milk Is man's part. The
value of milk Is dependent upon the
care It receives after It Is drawn from
the cow, Consequently preservation Is
as essential as production. Milk Is
dangerous us human food if It con
tains disease germs or worthless If It
Is so loaded with bacteria that Its com
plex food nutrients are partly decom
posed. It Is equally valueless to the
producer and distributor If It sours be
fore It can be put to use.
To prevent the entrance of disease
germs Into milk, healthy, tuberculin
tested cows free from any udder In
flammation or garget are the first es
sentials. Healthy men, and pure wa
ter from a protected well or spring are
of second Importance. Clean utensils,
covered palls and clean cows come
next.
Keeping milk sweet Is entirely n
■natter of cleanliness and temperdture
regulation. Cows free from manure and
dirt eapeclally In the region of the ud
der and flanks; utensils that are care
fully cleansed, scalded and dried; and
careful protection of the milk from
flies und dirt after production, will
prevent the entrance of bacteria Into
milk.
Milk Is' soured by bacterial develop
ment and multiplication. Bacteria can
not reproduce fast enough to sour milk
In 24 hours If It Is kept below a tem
perature of SB degree* Fahrenheit.
Therefore, milk should he cooled ns
soon after production ns possible. The
easiest and most practical plan of
cooling is to sink tho cans to the level
of the milk In a tub or running spring
of cold wnter and to atlr the milk fre
quently for flve or ten minutes until
cool. It should be held at or below
6D degrees Fahrenheit If possible until
used.
The flve essentials for production
of first grade milk, as given by Percy
Werner, Jr. of the Missouri college of
agriculture, are: 1. Healthy cows and
men; 2. Clean, cows and men; 8. Clean
cans and palls; 4. Covered milking
pnlla; 5. Cooling milk to 55 degrees
Fahrenheit or below within an hour af
ter production and holding It as low
as possible until delivered.

stir up well and add two more buckets
boiling water und ten poudds more
lime; let this boil for 20 or 30 min
utes, keeping the cover on barrel as
much as possible, after 30 minutes'
more boiling add two buckets boiling
wuter and ten pounds more lime; let
boll 30 minutes, then add more water
(two buckets boiling water) and stir
up thoroughly; add ten pounds more
lime; let this boll for 30 minutes, then
struln out into another barrel and add
water enough to make 100 gallons In
solution. This Is ready to be sprayed
on the trees. By this method you cook
the mixture about two and a half
hours. Several barrels may be started
at one time and treated in the same
manner as .Above.
BAGGING GRAPES IS FAVORED
While Not Profitable In Commercial
Vineyard, It Will Prove Successful
In Bmall Patches.
While It Is not profitable to bag in a
commercial vineyard, It will always
prove successful In a home vineyard.
By bagging the ripening period can be
held back for two weeks. Besides,
when grapes are thoroughly sprayed
and bags put on Immediately, there Is
not so much danger of rotting. Bag
ging keeps birds and bees from Injur
ing the grapes, therefore, more per
fect bunches arc produced. ■' '
Place the bunch in u strong three
pound paper bag, such as Is used In a
grocery store. Fold the corners and pin
securely around the stem Just above
the grapes. A small hole about one-half
Inch In diameter should be cut In one
corner *f the hag at the bottom to al
low water to run out. The bags are
not costly, but It takes some time to
put them on. In the home vineyard It
Is u very paying proposition, as It gives
you a longer ripening period and more
perfect bunches.
PUN TO PICK RASPBERRIES
Assign Two Pickers to Each Numbsred
Row and Keep Chart and Record
at Packing Shed.
In picking raspberries, number the
rows, then assign two pickers to each
row, and keep a chart and record at
the packing shed. In a field of 40 to
00 long rows It Is very difficult for
pickers to find their own row after
taking a carrier of fruit to the pack
ing house unless the rows are given
some distinguishing mark or number.
By this plan we know Just whut rows
are picked, und can check up the work
of each picker.
Let the pickers use four-quart car
riers and as soon as the baskets are
filled bring them to the nearest pack
ing shed anil get -their card punched
before they receive any more baskets.
Pickers are not allowed to take any
extra baskets with them to the Held.
FRUIT PACKAGES ARE SCARCE
Far-Sighted Fruit-Growers Hava
Placed Their Order* and Many
Have Supply In Storage.
It I* impossible to place too much
emphasis upon the Importance of se
curing without delsy an ample snpply
of fruit packages. All far-sighted fruit
growers have placed thler orders and
many have their packages safely
stored In a convenient shed. Ueport*

DIFFERENCE IN MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Haa Been
Paid for Without Regard to Qual
ity—Farmers Organizing.
Discussing the cost of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost of dis
tribution by dealers. Prof. Fred Ras
mussen, head of the dairy husbandry
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
:tnd poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use of collective bargaining in
the sale of milk, and as an Individual
lias accepted whatever price was of
fered.
"The fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
In the cost of transportation," said
Professor Rasmussen, "has made it
difficult to get a rise in price of milk
for the furmer. The farmer as a class
is slow to change und slow to organ
ize. it has been the history through
out the world that co-operation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
"The fact that milk producers In
the eastern part of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin Is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
Industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis In the milk business today
many adjustments must be made."

Inches. A little retaining or trip lever
was also fastened to the frame and
'engages In a suitable slot in the end
nf the carrier body. This lever is
shown In the sketch, and It Is to keep
the carrier body In place when loading,
and to release the body so that it will
swing on the pivots In unloading.
The next thing was to put up the
track. I used round steel cable pur
chased from the local dealer and fas
tened this to a post In the barnyard
suitably guyed and anchored. The
other end of the cable I ran through
the barn door to the opposite aide.
There I fastened It to the wall securely

the carrier in place and the Job was
completed. It works fine and is about
as good as a more expensive one.

WARDING OFF CURRANT WORM
It Is Well to Btart Early, Bofor* Dam
age Has Been Don*—Us* Paris
Qraen or Hellebore.
The worst enemy of the currant, so
far as It affects the yield of fruit, Is
the currant worm, which also works
on the gooseberry plants. It Is well
to plant the two fruits close together
and the worms will attack thfe goose
berries first and can be killed there.
The worms begin to work In the cen
ter of the clumps near the ground and
work up, frequently doing much dam
age before being discovered. For this
reason It Is well to start early, worms
or no worms, by sprinkling the bushes
thoroughly when the leaves are half
grown, using a teaspoonful of either
pnrls green or white hellebore In a
pall of water. Or the poison may be
mixed with a quantity of flour and ap
plied early In the morning when the
leaves are wet with dew. Two sprin
klings, ten days apart, will surely de
stroy the first brood of worms. A
close watch must be kept for the sec
ond brood.
FIGHT WOOLLY APHIS PEST
Young Trees Are Partlculariy Suscep
tible to Injury—Kerosene Emul
sion Is Best Remedy.
The woolly aphis Is worse In some
parts of the country than In others. It
attacks both the branches and the
roots, and either dwarfs or destroys
the tree. Young trees In nursery or
orchard are partiCTilarlji susceptible to'
Injury. Kerosene emulsion Is die best
remedy so far offered. £ '
Take one-half pound of Inunflry
soup, two gallons of kerosene and one
gallon of water. Dissolve the soap
In the full amount of water, and when
this solution is boiling hot, remove
from the Are and add the kerosene.
Stir the mixture violently by driving
it through a force pump back into the
vessel until It becomes a creamy mass
that will not separate. This requires
from five to ten minutes.
This stock solution is diluted with
nine parts of water for spraying.
When the aphis attacks the roots, the
earth should be scraped away to a
depth of several inches around the
tree, and kerosene emulsion used lib
erally diluted with 12 pnrts of water.
Another excellent remedy for the root
form is tobacco. Spread the stems
thick over the roots and cover with
earth.

It U a well-known fact among the
best fruit grower* that the weather
conditions during fruit bloom has
much to do with the setting of the
fruit. If the weather Is dear and
warm at blooming time the bees are
active and crosa-poMlnatloh proceeds
rapidly, while If the weather condi
tions are wet, clondy and cold the In
sects are not active and usually a poor
set of fruit Is secured. Strong cold
winds may often prevent the bees from
cross-polllnatlng one side of the apple
trees and this may account for the set
of fruit on only one side of the trees.

The russeting of apples is difficult

also adding that they are the earliest
of frnitsi ripening their large crop at
fine dark red colored berries from ten

kind of fruit grown. The strawberry
can be grown in any part of the
United States or Canada, and will
thrive anywhere If sufficient water la
