to Market—Full Weight 
51 per cent of all hogs mar¬ 
keted in the United States in 
19IS were Duroc-Jerseys. 
Duroc-Jersey hogs have 
proved themselves in cham¬ 
pionship shows as well as on 
the market. 
Duroc-Jersey hogs raise large families and put on weight quickly. They are hardy, easy feeding 
animals that mature at an early age, and are uniformly red in color.

Pasture and Barn Notes 
Alfalfa Hay for Calves.—W e like 
to have Alfalfa hay. second and third cut¬ 
tings, to feed our dairy calves. Ever 
since we have been using it we have got 
much better results than we used to get 
with the same grain and even more milk, 
and just ordinary clover. There seems 
to he something about the Alfalfa that 
grows a bone in a calf and that im¬ 
proves its appetite. A little practical 
test of this can be made with a pen of 
calves by feeding them on mixed hay for 
a week and then giving a feeding of nice 
green Alfalfa bay. Their eyes will 
brighten up, they will suddenly become 
interested in life, and the whole pen takes 
on that air of true contentment which 
every cattle lover knows. 
Handling tiik Bull.—S ome time ago 
I told how we handled our aged bulls, 
and stated then that gentleness was both 
the best, preventive and the best cure for 
ugliness. Several men took issue with 
me to the effect that gentleness might be 
a good preventive, but that, as a cure for 
ugliness it was absolutely ineffective. 
Tonight I watered a four-year-old bull 
without a staff that three men were 
afraid to take out of his stall six months 
ago. Gentleness plus corn nubbins and 
a little stick to scratch the places where 
he itched the most turned the trick. 
Persistent Milkers. —As we were 
milking the other night we fell into an 
argument, about the relative merits of 
certain cows in the string. Each milker 
had his favorite. An unusual thing hap¬ 
pened. however. The argument didn't 
develop as it used to as to which cow 
gave the most milk at a mess, but instead 
as to which one would give the most in 
a year, and without exception the boys 
put forth as their candidate medium- 
sized cows that didn’t milk over 35 or -10 
lbs. when fresh. It will take some fig¬ 
uring to tell whether they were right or 
not. hut taking the judgment as they 
expressed it ; “the cows in the barn that 
ordinarily would be thought of as medium 
or average are the ones that are really I 
making the production.” dairyman. 
Curing Shoeboil and Stocked Legs 
On page 110 L. A. B. tells bow he 
cured a shoeboil with a shoeboil roll. I 
had a horse that had two shoeboils at 
one time, each as large or larger than a 
six-quart pail. When the first one started 
I used a roll with which I had cured 
two or three previous cases, but it only 
seemed to make these worse. I cured 
these (the largest shoeboils I ever saw) 
by wrapping the horse’s feet every night 
with some burlap bags and rubbing the 
boils with a mixture of skunk oil and 
turpentine, half and half. If one gets 
in too much turpentine it will blister, 
j The oil softens the boil and the turpen¬ 
tine dries it up. 
T. I*]. B., on page 110. tells of his horse 
having stocked legs. For many years I 
have taken that as a sure indication that 
there is something wrong with the kid¬ 
neys ; that they are not operating as they 
should, and I give the horse something 
for the kidneys. When a horse stumbles 
on a smooth road is another sure indica¬ 
tion of kidney trouble. Don’t whip the 
horse for stumbling, but doctor the kid¬ 
neys. MILTON A. BROWN.
