TO make hog breeding uccessful
and profitable the first subject for
consideration Is that which is to pro.
duce them The male must be a
thorough bred two-year-old or over,
well developed, OF good health, weigh
ing not less than 500 pounds, strong
and active. The SOW should be his
equal in age, size and Lreeding, and
roomy. All things being ready;
mate them. One service is sufficient.
Take the SOW away and place her in
o yard, and give her the range of
some oat patch, with feed enough to
keep her thriving. Avoid too much
corn. Remember. now, that the food
for the SOW Is food for the pigs. Ono
cannot thrive without the other.
Feed bran, oats and little oil meal.
Two weeks before narrowing time
place the SOW in a small lot, having
a shed in it. Make tenders on the
sides next to the wall by mailing
strips four inches from wall and
seven or eight inches high. This
will give pigs passway around
their dam and avoid being
mashed against the wall. After far
rowing the sow needs rest more than
anything else. Keep her su.et. Give
little water t. drink, but very little
feed the first three days, then in
crease slowly till you may give her a
full feed. The little fellows will
want more milk every day. Feed the

now is relished. tor the pigs are
drawing on her. Now you do your
part and give her all she will eat
and that OF a variety. 1t will REQUIRE
no science now, for C hog will nav
according to the way he Is fed.
When the pigs are two or three
weeks old, feed them by themselves,

Help for the Pariahs.

The Rev. r. B. Pandisu, o Hindoo,
who has embraced Christianity, Is
endeavoring to arouse sympathy in
England for the Pariahs, 0utcasts of
Southern India. They number over
8,OO0.000, and although entirely free
by law, are forbidden by the caste
men to drink pure water. They are,
therefore, compelled to go miles to
get water, and in practice most OF
the Pariahs drink only the dirty
water left in burrows and pools in
fields or jungle. The consequence
is that they are constant victims to
dysentery, and that when any ty-
phoidal disease strikes the villages
they die in great numbers.
