GROWING ANIMALS ON THE
FARM
No. 5.—Hog Raising.
By H. A. S&ndhouse, Assistant Pro
fessor Animal Husbandry, Uni
versity of Arkansas.
The warm climate, long season, open
■winters, and the great abundance of
grass and mast In Arkansas make con
ditions almost ideal for hog raising, j
At present statistics show that this j
state is not raising enough pork for
its own use. It is encouraging to j
note, however, that the number of
hogs has increased in the past year j
and the increased demand tor pure- ■
bred hogs would indicate that there i
! are not only more Iiors grown, but
better hogs. To start in the hog bus
iness requires but small capital and
some experience in feeding and car
ing for live stock.
The time at which sows are bred to
farrow' will depend somewhat on the
I development of the animal and the
feeds available and building equip
ment for young pigs. The early far
rowing requires more attention and a
warmer house than when pigs are
farrowed in the spring or early sum
mer. Early farrowing has Its advan
tages as well as its disadvantages in
that it enables the farmer to market
his hogs earlier In the fall, before the
bulk of the hogs are marketed, and
the breeder of pure bred hogs will
have animals old enough and devel
oped enough for breeding in the fall.
The house for the sow need not nec
essarily be an expensive one, and at
the same time be of the individual or
central type. Either type should be
dry, well ventilated and lighted by
means of a large number of windows
on the south side. The hog houses
should be sprayed and cleaned up at
least once a year with two to four
per cent solution of some well known
disinfectant. Whitewashing a house
with a mixture of one pint of crude
carbolic acid for every three gallons
of whitewash will not only disinfect
the house thoroughly, but will make
It look neater and cleaner. A few
days before farrowing the sow should
be placed in her individual pen, so
she can become accustomed to her
new surroundings and not be nervous
and restless. During thie period, just
before and after farrowing, the feed
should oonsiBt largely of shorts and
bran, mixed with a small amount of ,
grain and fed in a thin slop. Feed
ing sows too heavy before farrowing
may be the cause of caked udder and
| milk fever. After farrowing the feed
: should_be gradually increased until
the pigs are able to take all their
mother’s milk. Too much milk at
first is liable to cause scours and
thumps.
When two or three weeks old the
little pigs should he fed shelled or
j soaked corn in a creep, so that they
will be accustomed to eating grain be
fore weaning, and not receive any set
I back at that time. Corn alone is a
poor feed for hogs of any age, espe
cially with very young pigs, as they
require more bone and muscle form
ing materal, which is found in such
feeds as shorts, oats, oil meal and
the legumes. Young pigs on pasture
may be fed corn with about five to
ten per cent of tankage or if skim
milk or buttermilk are available they
may be fed with the grain, using two
to three pounds of skim milk for every
pound of grain.
A good permanent pasture will re
duce the cost of grains, provided it i
not pastured too closely and a small
amount of grain ts fed in ronneetioi
! with it. Several small patches of for
■ age crops planted at different dates
so they will mature at different pe
riods, will furnish good pasture fron
early in the spring until late in th<
fall. Pwarf Essex rape, if sown early
will be ready to pasture in about si>
weeks, provided there is sufflciem
moisture present to germinate tht
seed. Amber sorghum, planted three
to five weeks after sowing the rape
will be large enough to make pasturt
during the extremely hot and dry
pari of the summer. Generally, th<
hogs can be turned in on the sorghum
when It is about two feet high. Cow
peas planted with corn will make
good fall pasture, or peanuts planted
in corn at the time of the second cul
tivation will furnish fine feed. By
I hogging down the corn and peas, and
I peanuts, the hogs will have a free
choice systpm of self-feeding, and will
do better than when allowed to hog
down corn, without any protein feed,
as peanuts and peas without corn
produce “soft” pork.

CONFEDERATE REUNION IN BIRMINGHAM

"Veterans first."
This is the slogan that has been
adopted by the entertainment com
mittee of Birmingham, Alabama,
for the forthcoming reunion of the
Confederate Veterans to be held in
Birmingham May 16-17-18. The vet
erans that bared their breasts to the
cannons’ merciless fire during the late
unpleasantness will be cared for above
all other considerations, everything
has heen planned and all other propo
sitions set aside in order that the Bir
mingham reunion, which may be the
last ever held here, will go down in
history as one wherein everyone ex
hibited the keenest interest and care
of the heroes of 1860-65.
The committees in charge of the re
union have progressed admirably with
their work. Only the barest details
remain to be lined out to make the
Birmingham gathering memorable in
the history of Confederate reunions.
The hospitality of 1908, when Birming
ham welcomed the Confederate hosts,
will be greatly excelled by the char
acter of the hospitality and the
warmth of greetings to be offered the
veterans in May.
Through the kindness of the govern
ment of the United States the commit,
tee has secured the loan of over 6000
cots, which will be placed in the mag
a
inlficent buildings at the state fair
grounds for the ve’erans who will ac
i eept the rare and complete hospitality
of the City of Birmingham. The vet
erans will be provided with every con
venience. A commissary in charge of
experts in the several necessary de
j partments will be maintained. The
camp grounds are accessible by
several car lines from the center of
the city. It is contemplated that the of
ficial camp grounds will be the
rendezvous for a majority of the vet
erans visiting Birmingham.
That every detail looking to their
comfort and care will be exercised,
was indicated by Morris W. Bush,
president of the Chamber of Commerce,
who announced that the cool, airy
buildings will be arranged so as to be
perfectly comfortable for the heroes
that are expected. The food will be
the best and every function exercised
to provide every necessity.
Aside from the magnificent care
which will be showered upon the vet
erans at the camp grounds extensive
| plans have been arranged for their en
: tertainment. The parade will be com
posed of automobiles and automobile
trucks so that every veteran that cares
to may ride during the parade. This
will relieve the veterans, many of
j them feeble, of the cruel necessity of
I wmlking during the long parade.

IF YOU CAN’T GO TO A SUMMER RESORT

If you have a porch we have the equipment
to transform it into a veritable pleasure park.
And the expense-well, that’s our main
talking point.

Chairs and other restful summer articles are
here waiting to make your hours of leisure
real hours of pleasure.
And there’s not a home that cannot afford
one or more of them at our surprisingly low
figures.

Means More Service From Your Purchases.
No doubt you intend buying a new suit this
Spring or Summer, but you think you will
wait until real hot weather begins. That
plan, Mr. Man, is a mistake. You cannot pos
sibly wear out one of our suits in a season,
even if you wore it every day, and the eariler
you buy it the longer wear you will get from
it this year. Then too, an unexpected occa
sion may arise any day when you would wish
you had equipped yourself with your new
outfit. Come in at once. You have every
thing in your favor when buying early.
