The ends of this sack CI stitched securely over ordinary one Land :1 half inch steel tubing, allowing ‘the ends of the tube to project from :..the ends several inches. “As I did not want to cut the rope 3‘ I had on hand for hanging this sling ‘from the ceiling, I threw one end ~ over a beam just above the colt’s " withers and shoved each end through “the gas pipe and drew them up so the r sling rested snugly against the colt's & chest. The ends of the rope were then thrown over a joist above the -(~olt’s loins and drawn up so as to .bring the other end of the sling :.against the colt’s abdomen and then trustened securely. "in a few minutes the colt caught «on and was soon resting comfortably fin the sling.” A Good Feed For Hogs. A successful Kansas breeder has ex« tzperimented with hogs in feeding vari- -l.ous rations and thinks he has found a feed that does the work just a little smore satisfactorily than anything else. “In feeding hogs," he says, “I let Whem run with the cattle, as usual. But i do not believe that hogs do just ‘Ithe best kind in following cattle and :getting nothing else but Corn. They aneed some variation from that and 'will do better when they get some nether feed besides the corn they get with the cattle in the feed lot. In feeding a recent carload of hogs ‘that brought top prices I gave them :11 slop composed of water, shorts. lin- xseed meal and tankage. I make this :slop thin and salt it pretty freely. I "put in shorts to the same amount of weight as both the tankage and lin- :.seed meal. It makes a very fine feed aand one which hogs relish very much. fl give it three times each day and find “athe hogs ready for it each time. It ~=sort of sharpens up their appetites and :.-at the same time acts as a laxative, :‘rkeeping them in the best condition. “The cost of this feed is not very .-=much, so that in fattening this car- ':.load of hogs from the very start they wcost very little and represented a large :profit in my spring feeding.” Early Maturity In Swine. This is an exceedingly desirable qual~ tity in most animals, but is particular- .'.ly so in hogs. It the spring pigs can die made to grow rapidly, lay on the iright kind of flesh and fat and be marketed in the fall, the profit is sure am be considerable. Most of the growth .:nnd weight are put on while plenty of 2pgstllre is available. This makes it .zpossible to secure gain at a very low :figure. Breeds like Poland-Uhinas, Esé =sex, Thin Rind, Small Yorkshire, etc., :seem to be quite desirable for early unuturity. The Breeding Sow. The breeding sow should be selected on account of her fitness for her ma‘ ternal duties. She should be long and »deep of body and have many teats. She should have short legs well placed, level back. line head, ears and coat and a good disposition. A Popular Drafter. The popularity of Percherons con- tinues to grow in this country. and “there is always a good demand for athese great drafters. The breed takes its name from the district of La- Ll'erche, in France, which is now the schief draft horse breeding and han- idling center in that country. The modern Percheron stands six- rteen hands high and over, weighs Just Mens’ which .9! I» ; a..." weane- 4:331:33," in i;- superior priced to purses.

No top dressing or fertilizer will do more to revive grass than nitrate of soda, and it should be used in combi- nation with materials coutaining phos- phoric acid and potash. A mixture of 150 pounds of nitrate of soda, 150 pounds of acid phosphate and 75 pounds of muriate of potash is recom- mended. Grass, even in the old mead~ ows, will respond very quickly to this treatment. Long Handled Tools. Every farmer should use~long han- dled tools instead of short ones and have his plow handles as far apart again as most of them are. The seats on his vehicles should be high enough and deep enmtzzh to enable him to sit up straight and not acquire a humped back. . . ......-.. ....._. _... . -- -.. ._’- n'cceived our new stock of Fall Winter Overcoats, includes the latest styles and patterns for this season’s wear.
