fcrent  conditions  that  it  is  impossible 
to  give  a  definite  answer  without  know¬ 
ing  all  the  conditions  under  which  a  per¬ 
son  is  working.  Spring  jugs  will  usu¬ 
ally  grow  more  rapidly  than  Fall  pigs, 
and  this  is  during  the  Summer  months 
when  forage  crops  may  be  grown  and 
fed  to  advantage,  which  reduces  the  cost 
of  feeding  very  materially  from  what  it 
would  be  if  commercial  feeding  stuffs 
were  depended  upon  entirely  for  feed. 
Another  factor  ■which  enters  into  the  cost 
of  production  is  the  growing  and  fatten¬ 
ing  qualities  of  the  particular  pigs  in 
question.  I  have  seen  Some  pigs  which 
would  grow  well  on  the  same  quantity  of 
feed  which  others  of  the  same  size  would 
eat  without  apparently  produciug  any 
growth  or  flesh.  This  is  on  the  same 
principle  that  some  horses  will  keep  fat 
on  the  same  amount  of  feed  which  some 
others  would  eat  and  still  show  every 
rib  in  their  bodies.  Therefore  it  is  only 
possible  to  give  estimates  of  cost  of  pro¬ 
duction.  With  good  purebred  stock  or 
high-grade  Poland  Chinas,  Bcrkshires  or 
Chester!  Whites  it  is  possible  to  raise  pigs 
up  to  the  weight  of  200  pounds  for  from 
$10  to  $18  each,  and  purchase  all  the 
grain  at  present  market  prices,  while  by 
growing  feed  and  soiling  crops  on  the 
farm  and  utilizing  waste  products  it  is 
possible  to  reduce  this  cost  one-half  un¬ 
der  favorable  conditions.  c.  S.  G.

Ailing  Cow 
I  have  a  five-year-old  cow  on  grass, 
getting  no  feed,  was  milking  good  and  in 
good  condition.  The  first  I  noticed  one 
milking  she  only  gave  Half  a  mess.  After 
that  she  quit  eating,  and  in  t\yo  weeks 
she  was  entirely  dried  up.  I  physicked 
her  with  salts,  and  since  then  her  bowels 
have  been  very  loose.  To  cheek  her 
bowels  I  have  been  giving  her  tea  from 
white  oak  hark.  She  is  very  thin,  eating 
well,  on  grass  and  feeding  her  bran  ;  bowels 
quite  loose.  She  is  swelled  under  brisket, 
all  the  way  up  neck  and  under  thin. 
Pulse  is  about  !Hh  .  I  thought  she  was 
suffering  from  indigestion.  Hut  what 
makes  her  brisket  and  neck  swell? 
Waymart,  Pa.  lit.  A.  T. 
Heart  disease  probably  explains  the 
swellings  and  is  incurable.  Keep  her  up 
and  feed  dry  feed  and  clover  hay.  Mix 
browned  wheat  flour  in  the  feed  twice 
daily.  If  scouring  persist  feed  boiled 
milk.  a.  s.  A.
