My Ideal hog is produced by using a mature Tamworth sire with a pure bred Berkshire, D"uroc-Jersey, Po- land china. or Chester white sov,,, end I- prefer them In the order named 'rhe picture shows the long unit characteristic of the pure bred Tamworth hog. a dinette line of Norway spruce is very good. The tree is easier to grow and more t igiu'uuy than other pines. As is well known. the hair covering the hogs is not sufficient to protect them from excessive cold. They bud. die to keep warm or burrow Into straw of leaven to shelter them from winds, 'These places at'e often damp. The hogs emerge from such places hot and steaming. The sudden effect of the chill is Injurious. It is not likely that hogs kept with feeding cattle under these conditions will thrive well. The solution of the problem Iles in n proper protection for the yards and worm and dry quarters for sleeping. Some stock bandlers locate their feed- ing yards in the heart of a thicic woods and succeed in keeping their stock quite comfortable. Ordinarily a straw stack Is located in the feeding yard. This is an advantage to the cattle, but not to the hogs. Yet the hogs like to sleep around these stacks. The ell& culty is that it is hard to keep hogs with cattle In open lots without the disadvantage of their burrowing into the straw or under the feeding boxes. The colder the lot the greater the tend- ency to huddle together. The better way is to stmt the hogs away from the stacks and boxes at night, providing a warm and dry shel- ter for them. It may be that an apart• went in the barn or other building can be opened to there. We end our hog house with wooden floor eighteen Melees above ground furnishes a satis- factory sleeping piure for Bogs to win - tett We have not tried the concrete floor, but the elevated wooden floor is usually dry.

Ration to Prepare Animal For the Lac- tation Period. The care of a cow before freshening usually has a very marked influence upon tbe work she will do during tbe coming lactation period, says Hoard's' Dairyman. Cows that are run down In flesh should be given a ration while dry that will' build them up and pre- parepare them,for the work of the corning year. Immediately prior to freshening the rations should consist of light feeds. that are not too heating in character. if the herd has been cared for in some such manner, we would suggest that they be worked up gradually to a ra- tion consisting of about twenty-five pounlis.iof corn silage, twenty ponds of roots, with as much clover or alsike hay as they care to consume 'twice. each day and corn fodder once a day to such quantities as will be consumed without unnecessary waste. _ This roughage could well be supple- rnented by a grain mixture of 300 pounds of` ground corn, 300 pounds. ground oats and 200 pounds wheat bran. It will be necessary to feed this grain ration at the rate of about one'. pound to every three and a half to four pounds of milk produced. Hustle the, Brood Sow.

The Candling of Eggs As regards. quality, an egg is one of the most difficult of food products to grade. Fortunately an egg is semi -transparent when held beifone the light and permits, 'if rotated, of even minor defects be- ing seen. Maany appliances for cotnnveilcial and private use have been inveityted for the detection of -bad aggs, and i't is now pos- sible for anyone with a little pract- ise 'to tell at a glance the main points between good and.bad eggs, In order to teach the proper meth ode of examination, there has been prepared, under the direction of the Live Stock Commissioner, a pamphlet entitled "The Candling of Eggs” by Mr. W. A. Brown, B, S. A., Chief of the Poultry Division. ' This pamphlet which is No.. 3 of the Live Stock Division, points out clearly that the size .qf; the air cell, the consistency of the al- bumen, the color and mobility of the yolk, and the gcnezlal trans- panency of 'the whole egg are the fac'tons most generally recognized as determining the quality. It also explains the consteuotion of a simple home-made device which gives excellent satisfaction in the telsting poi 'eggs. This pamphlet, which can be se- cured by making application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, concludes with the following paragraph' •— «Stonel-,&eelpera mill find it to their advantage to acquire facility in candling and it is recommend- ed that every housetwifle should provide herself with a simple cand- ling appliance, by the diligent use of which she may safeguarld her gamily from many unpleasant oc- currences at the breakfast table.

The enrolment board have found out that without com- pulsory registration and inspection many inferior breeds of horses will be pehpet.uated. A. large number of breeders have already taken ad- vantage of the standing that reg- istration gives their stallions, but others, ' Whose animals are not sound and healthy, or of inferior breeding, have ignored the exist- ing law because it peaces them at a disadvantage in competing with higher class animals. We undelr- sttazrd that the department is anx- ious to eliminate all public stal- lion's except those e pt hoe ithat pass a proper veterinary test and comply with certain regulations that will bring about a better class of breed ing throughout the province, and acting on suggestions that have been made by the enrollment board important amendments to the law will be made, the powers of the boalld widened and perjalties - for Sailing to comply with the regula- tions imposed.

Many Excellent Animals Ruined by Im• proper Treatment. Good and bad feet are largely Inher- ited in horses, yet very often good feet are ruined by bad treatment, writes J. L, Buchanan in the Notional Stock- man. 1f colts are foaled with crooked feet and especially if the hind feet turn over sideways you can 50On rem- edy this trouble by keeping, inside of bottom of foot rasped down and toe cut back a little, leaving the outside alone. A few trimmings will make the foot straight. Thus every producer of horses should be the owner of a good liorseshoer's rasp and use 1t when needed: While horses are going without shoes a good rasp should be kept close at band so all irregularities of feet may be kept rasped off. The feet of horses allowed to stand too long on a dry, hard floor o' on a pile of heated ma- nure are apt to get too dry and hard, in which case I should recommend a little fish oil rubbed on the upper edge of the hoof just at the edge of the hair, not over the shell of the hoof, because it would shut the ale and moisture out. If put on at juncture of hoof and halt the hoof will take up the oil, and it will help to grow and toughen the hoof. I have known hoses to stand on hot manure until it burnt all of the lower part of the hoof' out dto keep It is a splen id idea horses ou the ground all you eau. Continuous even four int -lies too long taro pakteras sPvung back and toes turned up until you would' declare that both feet and pasterns were ruined. Yet when prop. erly trimmed and turned out to pits ture they soon come all right. Blacksmiths often damage a horse's foot by holding redbot shoes too long at one place and by making shoes too short and narrow, producing contract- -ed hoots, corns, side bonen, ate. wad: - smiths are often In a hurry and some times fit the foot to the shoe Instead of the shoe to the foot, which Is the prop- er way. Another fault of too many smiths Is they do not cut or trim enough from the bottom of the foot and, on the other hand, cut back too much of the shell In order to make the foot fit the shoe, exposing too much of the tissues' of the foot, thus allowing water to soak in and oil to evaporate. The enamel or coating of the hoof should not be broken or removed, more than possible. Warding Off Milk Fever, Cows may come down with milk fever during any season of the year on new green grass as well as on winter feed, butthe attacks are most com- mon in winter and spring, before turn- ing on grass. One attack makes a cow prone to a second, but that may be warded oft by ample exercise and light, laxative rations during the last two months of pregnancy. The cow should be dried off at least six weeks before chleing, reed plenty of bran and flaxseed meal to keep the bowels freely open and make the cow take outdoor exercise every day. Milk the affected teats three times a day, mas- saging the quartets thoroughly at each milking time, and at night rub thor• mighty with a mixture of one part each of Ilnld extrnrt of'pokeroot and belladonna leaves- and six parts of warm melted lard or sweet 011. Make Flats 1n Winter. Make a lot of MIN this winter for ase in the garden. A flat is a shallow box of convenient sire used for start- ing seedlings, for routing cuttings or for carrying potted plaints, puts, soil or other material. Many uses will he found for the tlat and it is udvisahie to have a goodgsnpply on nand. Soap or other boxes obtained from a grocer cut down to two and a half or three filches in depth make good -tints.
