No grain, except to fresh milch cows. For my horses I have Kan- sas barns, that is, sod walls all around, covered on the roof the same as the corral. % HOGS. I have paid more attention to hogs than tb cattle, as good "breeds could be obtained at a less outlay for first cost, and our emigrant pork market has been excellent, with good prices. I now raise as the best suited and most profitable in this country, a cross of Berkshire and Poland China, with a slight mixture of old native to bring hard...iness and strength. I raise about one hundred and fifty pigs a year, selling the larger half to the home market as stackers, and feeding the balance. I get the finest and best pigs from sows one and one-half to three years old, with boars not over one and one-half years. I have pens built of logs, all in a row, connecting with each other by trap doors. I find millet cut in the seed to be an excellent feed for stockers. Pigs from four months old up, eat it with great relish, and with one feed of corn per day I think they do bet- ter and grow faster than when fed on corn alone.
