DISARMING BOAR
vCF HIS TUSKS
, The tusks of a boar oupbt to be kept
short. This not only makes liim less
menace to the other animals, but
many hog raisers believe hi in less
Beree and self confident, writes O. n.
Hill in the National Stockman. An
Inch and a half In length is the limit
to which the lower tusks should be al
lowed to grow. This means taking
them off once every six mouths. The
quickest and one of the commonest
ways of disposing of them Is to knock
them off with a told chisel and ham
mer. The trouble with this method Is
that it Is likely to splinter the bone
around the socket of the tusk, and I
have even known the jawbone to be
brokeu. A much better way Is to
break the tusk on with long horse
nippers, or with a blacksmith's Pinch
ers. Or the tusk can be nicked deeply
on both sides with a three cornered
file, after which it can be knocked off
with greater safety, though It is still

around his upper Jaw-that being the
hardest part of the whole performance.
Oo uot noose Ivoth Jaws, and never the
lower Jaw alone. Take a turn with
lite Miw around a fence pot and haul
the hog up so ho Is held short. Then
push him around sideways against tho
ftuce and have some one hold him
braced there while you owrate. Some
men take pride in handling a hog
alone, but It seems a waste of energy
when you enn got a helper, and you
need both hands free to work with.
Roots For Sheep Feed.
No amount of grain fed to sheep will
take the place of their dally feed of
roots, says a correspondent of the
American Agriculturist. 1 have come
to believe that three pounds of ruta
bagas will almost take the place of the
dully allowance of a pound of oats for
the ewes, and often when oats were
not plentiful 1 have wintered my ewes
on nothing but clover hay, a little corn
fodder and rutabagas. They furnish
suoculeuce and still help to build firm,
substantial substance. As to the quau
tlty of roots to feed, I should say feed
all of your sheep as much as they want
all winter, and by using clover hay
and corn fodder you will need no grain.
I figure that three pounds of swedes
are about e,tial In feeding value to one
pound of oats.

long bodies, good formed, of quiet
disposition, good feeders and with a
tendency to grow fruine and site rath
er than put on an excess of fat. Breed
the gilt when about ten months old
and If she proves herself a good breed
er, raising uniform litters of strong,
healthy pigs, keep her Tor several
years, or ns long as she Is profitable.
Selecting a Boar. ,
Select the Iioar for use liefore you
are quite ready to use him. liet him
acclimated to your surrounding and
method of feeding and cure. Never
use a young boar until he is past ten
months of age If you want large, strong
litters. Some breeders claim by u
ing a young boar on mature sows one
can produce hogs of greater llze when
p year old.
