There nro 4, 000,000 fewer hogs In this country than thero were a year ago. Hogs play a most Important part In tho present crisis. The losses from cholern have been enormous, and tho government Is sending hog cholern experts Into tho states to help In tho work of cholern control. Thero Is ono source of loss Mint should bo considered, and It does not pertain to disease, writes Georgo II. Glover of tho Colorado Agricultural college. Leather Is scarce, and In tho countries Mint have been tho longest In wnr, tho scarcity of leather Is possibly causing tho most concern. Pg skins nro wasted and they mnko the finest or lenther.

(Prepared by the United StaUi Depart ment or Agriculture.) After the chicks are ten days ,o!d, a good growing mash, composed of two parts by weight of bran, two parts mid dlings, one part cornmeal, one part low-grade wheat flour or red-dog mid dlings, and 10 per cent sifted beef -tcrop, may bo placed In a hopper ana ett before them all the time. The ;nash may be fed elUier wet or dry; ;f wet, only enough moisture (elUier nlik or water) should be added to mnko tho feed crumbly, but In no onse sloppy. When this growing mash or mixture Is not used, a hopper con nlnlag bran should be accessible to he chickens at all times. After tho chickens are two months old they may be fed four Umes dally, vlth good results. After Uiey are three month old, three feedings a day are nough. When one has only a few chickens, it Is less trouble to purchase tho pre pared chick feeds, but where a consid erable number aro reared It Is some times cheaper to buy Uio finely cracked grains nnd mix them together. Some chick feeds contain a large quantity of grit .nnd mny contain grains of poor quality, so that they should be care fully examined and guaranty as to quality secured before purchase. As soon as the chickens will cat tho whole wheat (usually in about eight weeks), cracked corn, nnd oUier grains, Mie small-sized chick feed can be eliminated. In addition to the abovo feeds the chicken's growth can be hast ened if the are given sour milk, skim milk, or buttermilk to drink. Growing chickens kept on n good range may be given nil their feed (n a hopper, mix- Flock Scratching for Feed. Ing two parts by weight of cracked corn with one part of wheat, or equal parts of cracked corn, whent, and oats In one hopper nnd the dry mnsh for chickens In another. The beef scrap may bo left out of the dry mash and fed in a separate hopper, so that Mie chickens can eat nil of this feed they desire. If tho beef scrap Is to be fed separately It Is advisable to wait until tho chicks aro ten days' old, although some poultrymen put the beef scrap before tho young chtckens nt tho start without bad results. Chickens confined to small yards should always bo supplied with green feed, such ns lettuce, sprofited onts, al falfa, or clover, but the best place to raise chickens successfully Is on a good rango where no extra green feed Is re quired. Whero the chickens aro kept In smnll bare yards, fine charcoal grit, and oyster shell should bo kept beforu the chickens nil tho time, nnd cracked or ground bone mny bo fed. Tho bono Is not necessary for chickens that have a good range. WHEN FOWLS BEGIN TO LAY Small Breeds Produce Eggs When Only Six Months Old Keep Grow ing for Early Maturity. Plymouth Rocks, Wynndottes, Ithodo Island Beds, etc., begin to lay when about seven months old, If properly cared for. Leghorns, MInorcas, etc., begin when about six months old. Feed well, und keep the chicks growing to obtain early maturity.
