Show Livestock When you use a grade or scrub sire you are breeding for the worst there Is In him. For pigs, It Is better to cook potatoes pota-toes and mix them with corn chop middlings, etc. Many young pigs are severely In Jured by using them for the purpose cf wasting food. The element of waste Is one of the most Important factors in determining determin-ing profits In hog feeding. A hog is a hog and badly balanced rations and foods that are Indigestible are responsible for much loss. The possibilities of expanding the production cf pork are so great that we will never see a scarcity of this product. Any mnn who plans to feed sheep needs a single plain shed, dry, well ventilated, yet free from cold, searching search-ing drafts. It Is an easy matter to get a buncn of young pigs off the main line on to the sidetrack nnd a difficult matter to get them back again. Ikm't put a frosty bit Into a horse's mouth unless you have no objection to seeing the barn kicked down. And waich for mouth sores. A long legged, narrow-cheated, wasp walsted. loose ribbed, Jong coupled , horse is always to be avoided, and Is a cheap animal on the market. j A horse that Is liberally fed and reeiilarly exercised throughout the winter will stand heavy work much better than one that has been prnirly kept and Illy fed. Whatever breed of horses Is chosen for use on the farm, the mare should be of geod form and show tendencies to produce speed and style rathe- than wricht and streng'h Young pigs should have the best of care and get to eating nicely while on the mother They rhould not b I weaned until they are nine weeks old If good reuMs are obtained. |
