Not only will wood ashes help materially in bone growth of young pigs, but this material will help in cutting down the grain bill. Skim millk is another valuablé food for young pigs and should be kept before them at all times. ' 1f skim milk is not available, use this mixture of grain: 200 pounds of middlings, 100 pounds of hom- inty, 20 pounds of meat meoal and thres pounds of salt. Keep this before the young pigs all the time, but have the pen and trough so arTanged that the sow cannot reach 1t: Young pigs are sometimes crushed against the walls of the pig house by the sow in lying down, To prevent this, run @ ralling of two by four timber around the inside of the house, about eight inches from the floor. This will prevent the sow's welght from falling on the young plgs. ds es n- to e be he SERIES OF STANDARDIZED RATIONS AGREED ON The conference of the feed experts r should turn cold and | representing the New England states s it has been found | which took place in Springfield, Mass. in| and which was presided over by Prof. H.

One of the important end significant declsions which were developed was the recommrendation of these experts that the formulae should be open omes and that each bag or container of feed be properly and adequately marked and on a tag at- {ached show the actual contents of the Statistics were quoted by Prof. Savage which showed that wnder the proper management and careful feedng the milk production of the United States can be easily doubled without additional feeding costs to the farmer. or plants at first 50 All-Wool Skirts, values Special 25 Discontinued Bon-Ton SPECIALS For Suburban Day 20 SILK, Wool and Jersey Dresses—Special. . .. $10.00 75 Waists, Georgette and Crepe-de-Chine—Special $3.95 100 Children’s Dresses, values to $3.50—Special. $1.00 15 Children’s Capes and Coats, values to $10.00— 25 Sleeveless Dresses—Special Wool Jersey Suits—Speciai Wool Tweed Suits—Special . to $15.00—Special . . .. $5.95 $3.95 ... $1.00 $2.75 up $7.95 $9.95 $1.95° Corsets, values to $5.00 $2.75 Norwich Market Growers’ Association “Onions every day, keeps the Docto: away.” bunch Onions to be had daily, fresh from the soil.
