on the other and you can safely counl
on getting one pound of pork foi
every five pounds of grain fed. Pro
viding you put this little building ur
properly any intelligent farmer car
make a structure of this kind for $40
and will save him a great deal of laboi
to feed.
Here is another strong advantage ir
a feeder of this kind. If you have
some of that ccrned-to-death land
plant to clover and then pull this self
feeder when empty to the plac(
where you want the land built up
Next fall when the corn is gatherec
from this land you will find, if youi
experience agrees with mine, tha1
where you had your feeder you have
your best corn.
I do not have any hogs get sicl
when starting them on feed. We pre
fer starting pigs to feed when the?
weigh about 150 pounds.
SHEEP NOTES.
Do not nurry sheep through doors
and gates so that they will crowd anc
get hurt.
Grain should be given the ewes
twice each day. Hay in the morn
ing, shredded fodder at noon and
feed rack of hay at niSht.
Sheep should not be caught bj
clutching handfuls of their wool, as
this injures the fleece, to say noth
ing of giving pain to the sheep
Catch them always as if they had nc
wool.
This is the time of year wher
you will need the best feed, for as
the warmer weather comes the appe
tite is not so keen, and they wil
also need a more succulent feed a*
this time.
