Pitting and Showing the Hog. Management of Youpg TaskeYa•
The atting and showina of swine It is at hatching time that we ap-
an art in itself quite apart from predate haviag saeed the tame plai-
t/oat of breeding. The careful breeder
• who prides himself an the breeding
•aad typiness of his hogs need not
necessarily be unbeatable in ahe show
ring. In large show classes. where
the competitioa is keen, the winning
individuals must possess other mien,
fications thaa truenese to type alone,
and probably one of the most import-
ant considerations other than type is
what may be called show condition.
This show condition is found in its
greatest perfection at our larger
shows where breeders with years of
experience at their backs are in keen
competition with one another. For
those breeders who are lees exper-
ienced and wile may wish to take a
hand in the game a few suggestions at
this time may not be averse. Iadi-
viduals which it is the intention of
the owner to exhibit at this fall's
shows should be selected at once. Tbis
is important it maximum size and de-
velopment is to be obtained, and every
day that thie is delayed maans that
xnueli more of a handicap for the in-
dividual in the show ring.
It is impossible to realize the de-
sired remits by forcing at the last
moment, at being necessary, in order
to obtain full development, to bring
the individual along gradually. Forced
feeding results in excess fleshing, with
retarded development of frame, or on
the other hand it may result ip game -
nese and lack of quality.
Pasture, supplied with shade from
the sun, and also, if available, running
water, provide ideal conditions for the
hog during the summer. These, com-
bined with a well balanced neeal ratien
fed in conjunction with green feed
and skim milk, form a combination
that is capable of giving the most
favorable results.
The meal ration which is selected
for this purpose should be one cal-
culated to develop bone and muscle
&ging the initial stages of the fatting
period, and for the latter stages a
somewhat higher percentage of fat
• g shoulde supplied.
In order to appear to the greatest
advantage the akin of the hog must
be free from blemishesor roughness
of any kind, and present a clear,
healthy appearance.' One great source
of trouble, more particularly with
white -skinned hogs is that of sunburn.
This can. largely be prevented if some‘
protection from the sun, either na-
tural or artificial, is available where
the hog may take shelter throughout
the hotter parts of the day. These
precautions are not sufficient, how:a
ever,, if the skin of the hog is IV
appear to the best advantage, so
washing must be resorted to. It is
not sufficient to let the washing go
until the day before showing. Some
considerable time before the hog is
to be 'shown, at intervals of a few
days, a thorough scrubbing with a
eoft bristled brush, linseed soap, and
clean water are advised in order to
clean the dirt out of the pores. Cleanse
with clear water, and carefully re-
move all • soap. Such treatment re-
sults in the freshness and bloom that
Ls so attractive and desirable in show
hogs.
Frenquent handling of the hogs is
neeSseary in order to have them ac-
eustamed to the presence and also
submit to the will of their attendant
'without undue disturbance.
Fine powdered charcoal is useful in
keeping clown digestiae troubles in
chides. It can be bought for about
five cents per pound at, feed stares or
made by running ehaecoal through a
feed grinder. If the charcoal is stored
it must be in a rather dry place. It
soon absorbs moisture and then loses
/nude of its value to the chick's.
Eye troubles and colds among grow-
ing chicks result from overcrowding
in dusty brooder houses. As soon as
the brooders ate removed it pays to
inat,all moats. Even if a few crooked
breasts should result from early roost-
ing they an leas loes than an epidemic

Most poultry troubles ean be pre-

•tante cards -willing that we share her
responsibiUty and is ne of tbe eat -
est factors of success in rearing the
young. She evill allow ue to take the
little ones from the nest Or to feed
and care for them without becoming
nervous and cross.
When the bat& is completed she
should be kept froni wandering away
as she is instinctively inclined to do,
and I have found the following method
most satisfactory: •
Take the hen and little ones care-
fully from the nest to the house which
is ready for them. This is a geed
roomy, well ventilated house, the di-
mensions of which sletuld not be less
than three feet ley four feet, and four
feet high at the front.
Then tie a strong soft cloth to the
shank of the hen and to this tie six or
eight feet of clothesline. This is fast-
ened to a weight (an old plow point is
good) which is placed just outside of
the house. After putting her down
keep the little poults at a distance
until she is accustomed to being tied.
She will soon quiet down, call the
little ones to- her and make the best
of the situation. She can go ar and
aut of the house and can be removed
to fresh, grassy places cluriag the day,
but is shut in with a wire netting door
at night and during storms. After a
week or ten days she is given her
freedom but is brought back to the
house at night and in stormy weather
until they are old enough to roost. See
that the house is kept edz.an aml dry.
First feed is given when from
twenty-four to thirty-six. hours old:
This is dry bread ground fine and
mixed with hard-boiled egg. Feed four
time's daily, just a little at a time.
After three days begin giving rolled
oatsatenee a day at first, and later
alternately vribh bread and egg-.
When about cne week old start
feeding a good grade of thick graira
semetintes adding cracked wheat.
At about this time also, a mash is
added to the iation for the morning
meal and is made as fellows: Finely
chopped greens (onions, lettuce or
dandelions), mixed with bread and
egg and with rolled oats. A small
amount of granulated charcoal may be
added at times. Gradually discontinue
the egg and bread and add more of
the rolled oats and some bran to tbe
Smash.
Never prepare more than you want
to feed at one tirae and never feed
more than they -will clean up quickly.
Continue this mash, chick grain and
rolled oats, feeding four times daily
for the first month or six weeks., cur
until they are ready to go away on
range.
They are very fond of lettuce when
taught to eat it from your hand, -
Sour milk, thick clabbered milk, is
a valuable part of the ration. Start
giving when three or four day e old
and continue theaugh the seaeon. Let
them have all they will take twice a
day. See that they have a. supply of
fresh water at all times.
Never overfeed. The amount given
should not be more than they will
clean up thoroughly in three or four
miautee.
Feed osi dean boards or trays and
proyale grit (coarose sand'), oyster
shell, and charcoal where they can
reach it at all times
A windbreak of evergreens is very
useful on the poultry range during hot
weather. Poultry dislike the hot dry
winds. Often the windbreak is diffi-
cult to start all in one year as some
of the trees may die. 'It pays to fill
in the vacant places for a. year or two
until the solid line is well established.

tending upward and producers are re-
adieMg more from their flocks than
they have these past two yearn. This
does net mean, however, that rejects

sell at a heavy discount below dear

to the farmer that he exereiee care

Katie, with her dell in her ATMS,

"This will take you up in the air."
"Why, Uncle Daniel, this is only just

"Well, can't you make believe? Yon

"This is my Waage:line," said Katie,

It ureans a pleat deal to a boy or

have always trained iny children to

Tastes Change Rapidly:. ,
If your child has a roma te him-

full liberty to decorate it as he thinks

Widely. You cannot make. a boy Or

cherish a dainty pink -and -white room.
On the other hand., the r00111 of boyish
mucleness and simplicity will chill the
heart ea. a girl whose tastes run» to
frills and fine needlework.
Then, tao, the tastes ef a child

Herwev,ee, soine cases it has remelted
in some sickness and death of horses
because of colds and pneumonia con-
tracted when standing in a corta plac.e
after being warmed up to a consid-
erable extent. The lighter bateeas of
horse, including trotting and driving
horses, seem to fall this class, but
it is possible that draft boeses, too, are
affected just as intleh.
A system used in, some plates is to
dip the lege and about one-half of the
body of the horses, leaving the sides
and back covered with the original
coat of hair to be disposed of in nat-
ural shedding. This appeals to many
farmers because it Ieavea the legs of
the horses clean and the baie does net
hold se much dirt when the legs get
muddy. Clipped' in this manner the
diet is easily bruebed off and the
horses , relieved. With the half -and-

warmed up considerably and- there as
