Feed Is Important Problem. (By H. M. COTTRELL,.) Give the sow all the water she wants for the first 24 hours after the ?igs are born, but no grain. Take the jhlll off the water In cold weather, for three or four days after the first 14 hours, give plenty of water, but 'eed grain and milk sparingly. Then slowly increase until, when the pigs ire three weeks old, the sow Is having ilL the feed she will consume. Give .he pigs exercise and sunshine from Jlrth, but do not allow them to get lamp nor to be exposed to the wind. When the sow Is given a warm, rich slop, or other milk-producing feedt rust after her pigs are born, a strong nllk flow is forced. The newborn )lg8 get too much and (have diarrhea, vhlch often kills them. They cannot ake all the milk, and the sow's udder tecomes inflamed and caked. When he pigs suckle the pain becomes so ntense that in desperation she Jumps sp, kills and eats them. The profits for a whole year can be hrown away in a few hours by a little! teglect at farrowing time. An inveslgatlon in one of the chief hog-proluclng sections showed that the farm toughage Self-Feeder for Swine?

Last year a man with 14 sows -aised to weaning time only 15 pigs, vhlle his neighbor, who used leas eed, butspent every hour with UJ# ows during thocgrrowlng tima, ralifd in average of over eight pigs to a liter from a large herd of sows. >HEEP DURING WARM SEASON 'articular Attention Should Be Paid to Water Supply?Place the Flock Near a Running Stream. Particular attention should be givn the sheep in warm weather relaive to their supply of water. You ;now, many old fogy farmers still contend that sheep can get all the irater they require from the dews, 'his is certainly a mistaken idea, and >ne that is absolutely cruel, for sheep teed water as much as any of the ther farm animals, though they do tot drink as much as some others. I suppose it is a fact that sheep can ubsist on the dews as their means if water, but they never do so well s those that have all they can drink, ays a writer in Farm Progress. Vhen an animal is forced to live on ess than the normal water supply, it 3 sure to be very uncomfortable. To o well and put on flesh, they should ave a running stream of water where hey can reach it. Many sheep raisers have a tendency o let the sheep take care of themelves, after shearing time lias passed, | na mere are so many other faxm lutles demanding attention. Where here are young lambB, they should be rell cared for in order to make the est growth possible before marketig in the fall. They are hard to get 1 shape to sell when they have been irced to look out for themselves. If one happens to have a running tream of water in the sheep pasture, e may consider himself fortunate.

CALVES INTENDED FOR BfcEF Necessary to Give Young A^L^i, Grain While on Milk Diet?Fli^t Winter of Importance. A When you are feeding calgB jn. tended for beef animals you have twc methods which may be followed. you can let the calf run with thej cov 01 you can remove the calf and fVedlhim skim milk and grains instead of giving him the whole milk, writes L. Hui t ol Kansas in Farm Progress. In these aays or dairying the calf that is] not vealed is likely to become a skim bilk calf. Th^ youngster that runs with^is mother usually ends his first sumLner in excellent flesh, while the skim yitlk calf is not : plump, but us' illy " a larger frame. If you are going to make ^eef out cf either of these calves it is'necessaiy to give them grain while on a milk ?iet, if it is plain that they need this &tra ration.

' There is not much use in feedlngjPie calf that is running with the cow.^If on the pasture he is getting about?all that he needs. As a general thinj; it will pay, though, to teach him to eat, for he will have to go through jjthe weaning period. If fed cracked grains and kept on a good pasture the calf will learn to eat before weaning time and will not lose much flesh when separated from the cow. The first winter is an importptt period to the calf that is being grovn as a beef animal. The calf will bate to be given shelter that is more comfortable than the open sheds that aie being provided nowadays for the bg steers. The rations ought to be such as to keep up a rapid growth if thete calves are to be made into "baby beei" Steers sold somewhere under eighteen months of age are rated as "baly beef." SPRAYING KEEPS FLIES AW/.Y Relief Afforded Live Stock bj Mixtifj[ of Three Parts Fish Oil and One Part Kerosene. Relief from attacks by flies may be brought to live stock on the fang by the use of sprays. The following spray is suggested in extenslor bulletin No. 43 on "Plies and Thei; poitrol," by F. L.

A horse that has tho habit of pawing, especially at night, is most annoying. It Is also bad for the horse's feet If he is pawing all the time. To stop this, take a strong strap with a buckle on it, also 8 or 10 Inches of heavy chain. Put tho strap around the horse's leg above the knee so the chain will hang down in front of the knee. This device acts as a chain switch and will cure the horse of the pawing habit. It also keeps a horse from running in rough nautnrA?? _ w? m?.... ? ? bm u* nuu Fireside.

(By W. R. GILBERT.) Nowadays farmers are beginning to awaken to the fact that it takes strong horses to do good work on the farm. The fact that almost any horse can be made to do something at farm work is no valid excuse for men who profess to have their own interests at heart to persist in breeding horses Farm Mare and Colt. that nobody wants, not even themselves. In the fields a big team makes haste by the width of the furrow or swath they cut. There is pleasure and inspiration in the business of breeding and handling high-class horses. Bear in mind in breeding horses that It is just as esseutial to breed good feet on to them as to get weight and blood in them. The purebred mare is a good investment to the small farmer, and if he will allow her to share the work of the place she will do nearly as much work as a gelding, and raise a good colt besides. A well-bred mare bred to a stallion of beBt type will bring a colt worth as much at weaning time as a grade colt would bring at maturity, sometimes a lot more. UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK Device Patented by Illinois Man Is Especially Good for Hogs?May Be * Moved Easily. Handling of live stock, especially hogs that are ready for market, is ofttimes cruel and a cause of real financial loss to the shipper because of lack of unloading facilities at the local etock. yariV4__a Illinois faxvswc hwa , patented tn^unlOading chute shown here. It is strong and yet light enough to be moved freely about so that hogB may be unloaded from the wagon on to the level ground. Cleats prevent slipping of an animal that is coming down the chute, thus reducing the possibilities of broken legs and bruises. The chute may be folded up and carried on a Chute for Live Stock. the load of stock, or put back out of the way when not in use. Its use on large farms or at small stock yards is certain to be found practical by business farmers everywhere.?Farming Business. DRENCHING DROVE OF HOGS Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into Pen Where They Will Have But i-iine rtoom to Move In. The quickest and easiest way to drench a drove of hogs is to drive them into a small pen where they will have hut little room to move about. To hold the animal while drenching it a noose of sash cord or quarterinch rope can bo placed around the upper jaw, well back toward the angles of the lips, and tho medicine thrown into the back part of the mouth with a dose syringe. As there is danger of a hog breaking a syringe it is best to use a metal one. Sometimes when tho drench is bulky and the hog hard to hold, it is necessary to olevato tho head and raise the forefeet off the ground. For this purpose a pulloy and ropo wire strotchor is recommended. It should be hung in the most convenient part of the pen and the animal secured in tho usual way by placing a noose around the I Jaw. Tho end of the rope is thrown \ uvm inu uuuh in me lower puuey and the nog drawn up until it is almost off the floor. It is best to wait till the hog has become quiet, well under control, before giving it the drench, as there is some danger of the medicine getting into the air passages and doing harm. For Fattening Sheep. Poas are strongly recommended for fattening sheep.
