An excellent ration on which to
wean young pigs consists of skim
milk and corn or skim milk and
shorts, fed in the proportion of 3 to
1. If skim milk is not available, a
mixture of 5 parts corn meal, 4
parts middlings, and 1 part tankage
fed as thin slop is very good. Good,
succulent pasture is alv ays in or­
der. It will aid materially in putting
growth on the young pigs, and will
lessen the grain expense. After the
pigs have been weaned and are eat­
ing well, the most difficult part of
their care is over. The feeding and
management from then on will de­
pend much upon whether they are
to bo kept for breeding or fattened
for the market.

“Worthless” Tree«.
Until recently foresters used to
recommend the cutting out of
“worthless” trees to make room for
the more valuable kinds. But values
of timber have changed rapidly and
now they refer to the same trees as
those of “less value.”
Sap sweet-gum trees were former
ly weeds in the forest. They are
bringing good prices for crossties to
be treated before being used. A
farmer in Mississippi*sold the sweet
■rums on a certain boundary for the
price on the stump of 10 cents each
for the larger size crossties, and 5
cents apiece for the smaller-sized
