Agricultural 1 How to Make the Cheapest9,1 Pork. The More Razorbacks You j1( Feed the More You Lose f ?Put Your Money in Good Blooded Animals?A List ? of Food Crops That Will ? Make Your Pork Expense Surprisingly Low. v< fo 811 Progressive Farmer. m Nature has made no section of gi our country so suitable tor 8wire su raising as the South; and yet it m may be said with equaljtruth that p< in no section of our country has sv swine raising been so much neg 01 lected as in the South. ?c Three reasons for this neglect h( are apparent: fl.) The monopolizing of the farmers'attention through exclusive cotton growing. ac (2.) The prevalent belief that ar swine cannot be successfully ar grown without corn. (3.) The high percentage of ^ inferior swine kept upon most ^ ' farms. ? NO USE to DO ANYTHING TILL YOU to GET BETTER BLOOD. There are certain types of hogs ju that cannot be fattened or kept fe in reasonably good condition ar with any kind or auy amount of fc feed. There are other types which will fatten or keep in good condition with an incredibly p? small amount of teed. The for- ar tner maybe described as the e\ long-legged, long snouted, long- bl haired, coarse boned, razor-back pi kj pcj me inner as tne square, in blocky, short legged. short snout ] ed, fine-boned tyj e to which be- |u long our improved Berkshires, 01 Poland Chinas, Duroc Jerseys, w Essex, and <fcher breeds ot swine, ai If you are poing to raise swine, m first and above all, get good pure- p< bred or high-grade swine to 9tart Fi with. The cheapest and most pi satislactory plan lor the average J farmer is to select as a founda- qi tion herd good high grade sows h< and a good pure bred boar. By di all means have a pure-bred e: boar. | w 1I0W To MANAGE T1IK HERD. OI Breed your sows so that they ^ . ; tc will drop litters in March alter I ce fhe severe cold. A month before .

A few day9 befo?e, and a tew days after furrowing, the ration should be c< rather light, but thereafter it should be gradually increased as 'e the young pigs demand more and (*' more milk. Wean the pig9 when about two months old After weaning the di young pigs should receive all the Hr skim milk they will drink for at least a month, with wheat mid dlings or rice meal additional.? P If there is a lack of 9kim milk wheat middlings may be fed instead. After the pig has passed his third month his main food Department R lould consist of suitable forage ops. THK CHEAPEST WAY TO FEED. Rap3 (Dwarf Essex) is an ideal 5g feed, and, when sown in the q ,11, makes excellent late fall and er irly spring graziug. Rape may tj, so be sown in the spring.? at rimson clover, rye, oats and gc )tch can be used successfully rp r grazing swine during the early immer.

Salt, wood ashes and charcoal * lould be freely supplied to tr vine, especially young growing vine. Pigs have a great craving ?r these substances, especially c< le charcoal and ashes, and when ltirely withheld will react un- *> ivorably upon the health and m aily gain of the animal, besides inducing to solt-'extured bone. ai Where hogs are properly hand- h( >d and ted they may be made to rop two litters of pigs each ?ar.
