Succulence in the form of well -cured alfalfa or clover hay should be fed to pigs of over 100 pounds, while pigs under this weight should receive milk, roots, or even a small amount of the above-mentioned hay. Hay or roots should not be made the sole feed for winter fed hogs. In fact, it is not always even advisable to use hay under the self- feeding system where the pigs can I don't see th your stern for months on end now they -'re settled hi ' the city, but Pl1 let you in on a secret, oe. 1 visit � x t wi tla them every week by telephone.

Rather, hay of good quality should be fed in limited amounts, the pigs deriving the large part of their nutriment from. a mix- ture of coarse grains. Mineral mixtures are more import- ant in winter feeding than during the summer when the pigs have access'to the earth through use of pastures. A. self -feeder with a constant supply of mixed minerals is well worth while, Another good supplement to winter feeding is the regular use of sods. From the way pigs work over a sod thrown to them there is 'evidently considerable mineral nutriment gain- ed from this source. Salt, needless to say, is a- very necessary constitu- ent of the swin ration and its use pays its actual cost many times over. A good eastern„mineral mixture is: I3one meal or bone char, 25 pounds; ground limestone; 50 pounds; and salt, 25 pounds. This can be used in a self -feeder, or by mixing in the meal ration at the rate of 1 to 2 Aer cent. Western mineral mixture: Slacked coal, 76 pounds; salt, 20 pounds; air slacked Bine or ground limestone, 3 pounds; and sulphur, 1 pound. This should be used in a. self -feeder, giving the pigs free access to' the mixture at all times. Husband: "What has happened? Why have you that plaster over your;_ left etre?” Wife: "Plaster?
