Hogs run- ning in the woods or woodlot or on pastures of most kinds commonly grown, supply their bodies with min- eral nutrients. Recently I v.isited the farm of & well -recognized hog breeder who pointed with pride to his big-boned, well-developed boars and brood sows. He lays emphasis on strength of bone in his stock and keeps them in excel- lent breeding shape. He had a small piece of woodland and a clover field adjoining in wh.ich he said his hogs licked up most of their mineral feed rather than take so much from the self-feeder. I have never seen a weak-boned hog where they have access to pas- tures. I have heard it said that that was because tho pastured hog got sufficient exercise to stimulate a good bone development, which has some weight, but forage crops contain a great deal of calcium which enters into the bone structure. One breeder told me that he never thought of feed- j ing mineral feeds to his hogs, but ho Farm Shop Saves Money. A small farm shop, equipped to handle simple repairs, will soon paj for itself.
