Hardly two men will agree In all re
spects os to what constitutes tho best
now for breeding purposes, although
tbo most successful hog raisers aro
coming around to the belief that the
medium animal gives tbo best returns,
so that tho old Idea that the brood
now should be of largo slzo Is being
abandoned. Size determined on, then
other characteristics should bo sought
If the sow has had one litter It Is easy
to know if she Is fitted to continue the
work. If she was not a good mother,
If sho did not have tho proper amount
of nilllc (provided she was properly
fed) then sho will not prove a profit
ablo mother for other seasons. When
the sow Is bred for the first time, then
ono Is taking some chances, but It
ought not to be hard, after tho first
year, to get together a fine lot of sows
simply by remembering how they act
ed In previous years.

In tlm financial depression that fol

figure that breeders restricted tholf
operations to such nn extent tliat

prices a marked revival Is manifesting
Itself In breeding. Of course, thero li

To permit the corn to stand In the
field and bo frost-bitten Is to render II
practically useless and valueless, but
with tho silo It is possible not only to
savo It but to have for tho animals a
food supply that Is extremely valuable.
If ono has a silo and the kernels on
tho corn ears havo begun to harden
tho crop Is ready for tho silo, ears and
stalks. Thero aro no many kinds of
silos that aro valuable tliat It Is not
possible to describe tho best ono nor
tho methods employed In filling one.
The better way Is to visit a silo near
ono and see bow tho structure la built
ami how tho work Is done and follow
along tho linen of success. Next thing
to a silo Is the plan of cutting tho corn
stover or shredding It so tliat tho ani
mals can get all thero Is to get of the
nourishing part of tho corn.

raw cotton also show a gain of $22,

Farm Fence.
Tho legal fence should bo of wire
with a rail at tho top so as not to ob
struct snow, or to bo affected by
winds. Tho neighborhood could get
along without any fences If suitable
laws were passed. Tho coming age
will know no farm fences. If the
farmers could lay by nil they spend on
fences they would get rich. Farm
fences and common pastures will both
dlo a natural death soon. Both belong
to a pioneer period which we have out

No success can bo achieved with

In poultry feeding there are lnnn

Barns, outbuildings, back porches,
