The exceptionally hish price for pork this spring has caused many to seriously consider the advisability of | increasing our pork output, or in many cases, to_consider the establishment of a swine herd. To produce pork we must have the feed, the equipment and the founda- tion stock, cach in itself, relatively im- portant, but each involving separate problems. Of these three, however, it is more often the economical use of | the feed that spells profit or loss to the farmer. Corn is tre standard pig feed in the United States and lts worth has been preached to us so long that we hesi-| tate to turn to any other feeds. Evenl! at the present time we must admit{ that it is the feed for bringing pies into market condition. st, however, our corn almost | wholly utilized as silage. The corn we | lv feed to pigs is purchased on| the open market in meal form. | The next feed that come to our mixnd | is skim milk. Many farmers through- | out the eastern country sell their whole Throughout the | nilk to creamcries and cheese factor- ies, Often they are unable to get the milk back because the whole| is separated, the cream shipped | city and the ekim milk manu- factured into cottage cheese, since a much better price may be secured for this product than from the uncertain le of skim milk to the creamery| m niik g cheese factories, the milk is manufactured in ¢ and the only product that is ble to the patrons i e whey. whey is also available from the manufacture of cottage cheese, Composition of Whey.

Authorities agree that at least 95 per cent. of all house flies breed in manure. Everyone interested in med- ical matters agree that flies are car. riers of germs of such diseases as ty- phoid fever, consumption, dvsentery and other intestinal diseases. Mr. Barn-owner, the above state- ments are being proven hard and fast facts, and you are responsible in a very large measure for the fly nuis- ance and the health of your communi- ty unless you do your part in ridding yiur stable and place of all manure and refuse. The law covers the removal of stable refuse, and it is your duty to enforce the law_yourself and not expect an officer of the law to do so for vou. That you may have no fear of the fly as a carrier of disease is poor con- solation to the mother whose child lles dead of some fly-borne disease. 'The time is coming, and not so far distant, when the people will look upon the careless barn or stable owner with as much fear as they now look upon a drunken man goinz through their neighborhood flourishing a loaded re- volver—Health Officer, New Britain, Conn. de- To Owners Grain for the S8kim-Milk Calf. Calves are usually fed whole milk for two to three weeks, then gradual- Iy changed to skim-mflk. About the time of changing, begin to feed a lit- tle grain, but do not think that it is necessary to use oil meal or any other high-priced feed, high in protein, or fat, or both. Experfence at the Mis- souri Agricultural Experiment Station shows that a mixture of two parts of corn and one part of oats, by welght, glves as good results as oil meal and ready-mixed calf meals often purchas- | iR, ed at much higher prices. Bran is not especially good for the young calf be- cause it is too laxative. The grain mixture should be fed immediately after the milk, and neither should be fed too liberally or scours may result. —L. W. Wing. FIELD PEAS GROWN IN CROP RO- TATION.

A crop of corn, grain and ciover, with field peas, would find excellent favor as a crop for growing vork. It would be possible to hog down the peas, which would eliminate entirely the cost of harvesting. Field peas will yield fr m 20 to 25 bushels of peas to the acre, and hoss running on peas and pasture make splendid gains. However, peas may aiso be grown as a legume on a in farm. In_that case the peas wo harvested and threshed ard marketed as a grain crop. Ways in Which Tried. Peas command a good market price, and although they are _dif handle a small area would = a place 1n a rotation. Farmers are working sandy land find able.

Many farmers find It exceedingly profitable to sow from 15 to 20 acres of this mixture. Sced for this work can be secured ough screening out the peas from the vats and then making the proper propor- tions.

Boards rot, metal rusts, and both sour and soon leak. Cement only stays on the job—always & sure source of cool, cléan water. A’ good sanitary water supply is necessary on every farm. Where springs and running water are not pre- sent it is necessary to rely on wells and a tank big enough to hold 3 or 4 days' supply. Concrete is good materi- al for such tanks. It is easy to handle, an be made in any shape and size, and is easily waterproofed: The sand and gravel necessary for constructing the tank are often found on the farm and if such is the case, the cost of con- structing is materially reduced. A good mixture for concrete tanks is one part cement, two parts sand and four parts broken stone or gravel. If neither gravel nor broken stone can be obtained, a mixture of one part cement and three parts of coarse sand can be used. The cement and aggrezate should be thoroughly mixed and the resulting mixturc well tamped or shad- ed when placed in forms. After re- |ing the forms the sides of the tank may be flushed with a mixture of ce- ment and water to smooth up any lt- tle irregularities. Heavy woven wire fencing may be ued to reinforce the tank. Lep the ends of the reinforcing at least six inches. The reinforcing for the walls should be placed neer the outer side and well covered with concrete. It is preferable to have the forms of green lumber. If seasoned lumber is used, it should be dampened with water before the concrete is poured into the forms. This will prevent the dry boards from absorbing the moisture from the concrete which, if permitted would cause the walls of the tank to crack Maie the bottom of the tanks small- | er than tht top by sloping the inner walls. This will prevent ice from breaking the walls. The inner forms should be built so that they be easily removed. A wedge can be used to ed- vantage if the forms swell and are {difficult to remove.

A. R. Kell terial Connecticut Hens Lead Produce. in Weekly | Storrs. Conn, Aug. 2—The hens in { the laying contest at Storrs laid a total {of 3630 egzs in the 39th week. This |is 20 eggs more than they produced in the preceding week, and while this is only a slight gain, it Was nevertheless unseasonable because at this time of the year one is almost sure to get less and less eggs each week until the pul- lets begin to lay in November. For the first time in many weeks all the leading pens are owned by Con- necticut breeders. Branford Farm's White Rocks from Groton were first | with a production of 55 eggs. F. M. | Peasley’s White Leghorns from Che- shire were second with a yleld of 53 eggs. Mrs. Rollin S. Woodruff's pen of the same breed from New Haven were third with 52, and Harry Wil- liams’ pen of Leghorns from Bridge- port were fourth best for the week with 50 eggs to their credit. Tn going over the records in the con- test last vear i§ has been found that it required 6 1-2 to 7 pounds of feed for each dozen eggs that were produced. It should, however, be remembered that the hens in this contest each av- craged to lay 152 eges during the year. Obviously a certain amount of feed is | required” for maintenance, whether a hen lays e; or whether she doesn’t. Within cerfain limits, therefore, it is believed that the more eggs a hen pro- duces the less feed will be required per dozen eggs. The average feed cost, including grit, shell and charcoal, was 14 cents for each dozen eggs. The three best pens In each of the principal breeds are as follows: Plymouth Rocks.
