Winter hog feeding requires dif- ferent methods from those ordinarily found successful in summer. Stunt- ing and crippling are common during the winter and result largely from an over-supply of heavy feeds as well as from a lack of some of the vital elements. Lack of sunshine and ex- ercise may also be contributory caus- es. Control measures to forestall these winter feeding difficulties are as follows: L'se a variety of f^ds in the ration including milk or tankage; provide alfalfa or clover hay or roots in small quantities; do not feed too heavily; allow young animals to ex- ercise outdoors in mild weather; all stock should have comfortable sleep- ing quarters which are dry and free from draughts. AGRICULTURAL .MEETING Pretty girls are made to behold; not to be held. The annual meeting of the Price- ville .Agricultural Society will be held on January 19th., at the Priceville hotel.
