Worth trying. The sooner the pigs are all out on pasture the better. It is natural for hogs to eat grass. * A good hog pasture cuts the cost of growing pigs and hogs in two. Many men seem to ignore the need and craving for grass that is as na- tural to H pig as it is to a cow. A young farmer grew a lot of pigs last ye«r on clover and alfalfa pasture. He fitted thorn for the butcher on sugar beets and corn grown on the ^rm. That pork was surely healthy, and cost less than it would have done under less intelligent management, The feeding period of the hog is short, and the more quickly it is grown the greater the profit. The pigs need shade in the pasture. 1 There should be trees as well as shelter Hints on Goose Culture. | While geese live to a great age, the ganders are usually unreliable as breeders after about nine years old.
