CONVENIENT RACK FOR FEEDING ALFALFA. 



Among the equipments for handling roughage on a hog 

 farm the accompanying design furnishes a very convenient 

 way for feeding Alfalfa, Cowpeas or clover hay, all of 

 which are first class feed for winter forage for the herd. 



HOUSECLEANING. 



Besides the matter of keeping all sleeping pens and feed- 

 ing places clean, it is well for the breeder to look carefully 

 after the premises in general by having a regular clean-up 

 at least twice a year, buildings, yards, fences, etc. This 

 would not only give a good appearance but would be a bene- 

 fit along sanitary lines. There are many good disinfectants 

 and some should be used weekly, by spraying the troughs, 

 feeding utensils, mixing barrels, etc., as well as the 

 feeding floors and sleeping places. Feed yards should be 

 well cleaned up and kept free from cobs and other accum- 

 ulations. These are small matters, yet quite important and 

 should be carefully looked after.
