A swine raiser of long experience claims that ground barley and milk will make a weaning pig intoa 150- pound shote quicker, better and more economically than any other food, es- secially if the shote is destined for breeding purposes, says Blooded Stock. If another 150 pounds is desired on this animal, and it is destined for) slaughter, corn and milk will produce additional weight most quickly and) economically. Corn and milk is a natural diet, but when fed exclusiyely from weaning to maturity they will not produce as large frame and heavy weight as economically as though the hogs were fed on milk and mixed grains and mill feed.

It is a nuisance to have-the milk cows pastured far from the house: The barefoot boy and the old dog, Tray, are not always handy to bring the cows in at milking time.

Those who are fond of making cal- culations in dollars and cents are still busy figuring out our losses caus- ed by late frosts. In transplanting evergreens it is a good plan to make the holes large and deep enough so that a little loose earth may be put back before setting the tree. Great care should be taken to keep the roots from drying while doing the work. The earth should be placed solidly around the roots, but should be left loose on top. _- Lumber Co.
