the local market. This will mean a
saving of several thousand dollars to
the people of the county by keeping

SWINE NOTES
Keep the sleeping quarters clean
and dry.
Keep clear water before them all
the time. .
Do not-feed an extreme green corn
diet.
Have good shade during the warm
weather.
Keep the hogs and their yard in a
sanitary condition and watch the herd
carefully in order that no disease may
get a start.
All these points should be kept In
mind for they are the only effective
lnsurancer against cholera and kindred
diseases.
Give the hogs salt and ashes, es
pecially hard coal ashes, and an oc

casional dose of copperas and sulphur
in the slop. Be particularly careful
about this with the hogs that are in
the feeding pens.
About cement floors a swine breed
er says: '"I see a good deal of talk a
bout cement floors for hoghouses. I
have never seen one that was a suc
cess, the best floor, in my opinion,
is dirt, with a good woven wire netting
stretched over it to keep the hogs from
rooting it up."
Most of the profit in hogs, except
ing from breeding sows is made by
fattening them when they are 6 to 7
months old. If kept growing without
check until this time they ought to
weigh 225 pounds or more. It pays
better than to feed an extra year, even
though the weight is doubled In that
i
! time. The pork pig sells quickest and
highest. Breeding sows may be kept
so long as they produce two good litters
a year, one dropped early in the spring
and the second In August or Septem
ber.
