CARING FOR FALL UTTERS

Many Farmers Cheat Themselves Out of Considerable Revenue Annually by Thoughtlessness. There are a great many farmers who annually cheat themselves out of considerable revenue through neglect to give proper care to fall pigs. This Is not only true with fanners who raise swine to fatten, but It Is often true of those who calculate to market the best individuals for breeding purposes. The importance of keeping a pig growing steadily until he has a good frame, whether intended for meat purposes or breeding, is so lightly regarded by a large per cent of swine raisers that It gets them Into all sorts of trouble. The man who grows swine to fill his fattening pens is troubled with undersized sows and runty litters and the breeder finds his pigs in small demand. The fall litter of course suffers the most from neglect because the conditions at this time of the year are the least favorable for his growth. The fall litter is born out of season and therefore needs special care. Two points must be properly regarded; the pigs should be provided with quarters that will protect them from the cold, and should be fed generously, Including warm slop at least once a day. If the latter Is given at night they will undoubtedly return to their sleeping quarters more satisfied than after a cold feed. It Is perhaps more Important that the night feed be warm than that It carry an amount of nutrition above an ordinary kitchen slop rlchened with skimmllk or ground feed. It will pay well, however, to rlchen even skimmllk with such feeds as shorts and tankage In order to provide protein, which fs nearly nearly always a lacking element In pig rations.

If the pigs receive liberal amounts of this kind of a slop the grain ration may consist entirely of soaked corn. Green food should be provided as long as obtainable. Generous feeding of the sow as long aB she seems disposed to use her food for making milk Is of course the most economical method of feeding the fall pigs, but as a great many sows dry up early In cold weather It is good policy to provide the pigs with side dishes as soon as they show any inclination to take them. While there is profit In raising fall litters when properly handled there Is little to be gained In raising them to shift for themselves as In this case they will render scarcely any better account of themselves In a year than spring pigs will In nine months.

CHICKEN FARM ON ISTHMUS

Started With 200 Brown Leghorn Hens and 15 Cocks —Other Varieties Afterwards Added. The Ancon hospital poultry farm, on the Isthmus of Panama, has been In existence since January, 1910, starts lng with two hundred Brown Leghorn hens and fifteen cocks. In the following April one hundred hens and ten cocks of the Rhode Island Red variety were added; one month later a consignment of 230 Plymouth Rock hens and cocks was received, and In April, 1911, an addition of one hundred fowls, imported from the states, was made to the Brown Leghorn family. During the first eighteen months of operation, January 1, 1910, to July 1, 1911, eggs to the number of 4,455 dozen were produced at the farm, of which the Leghorns laid 29,329 eggs, the Reds 9,094 and the Plymouth Rocks 15,042. The average cost per dozen for the whole period mentioned has been about 11% cents. The prevailing price of eggs at the commissary is 27 cents a dozen, indicating on the basis of that figure a saving of about 15% cents a dozen, or about S2BO for the seven months period. Last year fifty-three pairs of pigeons were Introduced at the poultry farm for raising squabs. During the seven months ended July 31, 1911, seventynine squabs were produced at a cost of 21% cents each, the market price for squabs being 35 cents.

Protect Soil Bacteria.

The greatest damage to soil is usually done after harvest The ground is compact, the crop is removed, and usualfy the rain is scant therefore the solvent action of the water ceases, and bacteria become inactive and many die. Thus the two principal agencies that make plant food available are cut off. To guard against this the land should be cultivated as soon as the grain is cut; in fact, follow the binder with a disk. This cultivation loosens the surface soil and kills the weeds that take much moisture. The water will then be conserved and the germs protected.

Bitter Churning.

I usually churn three times a week. Not long since the milk, after standing 24 hours, would become very bitter before souring. The butter was so bad that it could not be used. We commenced feeding the cow potatoes. The milk and butter are now free from the bitter taste, says a writer in an exchange. The utensils have always been kept clean. I now put in a tablespoonful of lfme water in four or five quarts of cream. The cream ripens as it should and the butter is sweet No milk is allowed to stand 24 hours before skimming.

Shipping Fruit.

Do not place your fruit in competition with another by dividing shipments in any market Never ship fruit to a market that is overstocked and weak. Tour commission merchant will send yon daily quotations on a postal card.
