The Brood Sow.

Any animal that is carrying her
young should have the most consider
ate care, for such e delicate condition
is drain upon all the forces of the
system. The sow is often shamefully
neglected while in that condition. She
is forced to eat any thing that comes to
hard, often corn alone, excepting
swilL She is not even given water.
Her blood becomes heated, she be-
comes costive, and she is feverish
and sick. At the time she gives
birth to her pigs, she may be
in positive delirium, and she
destroys her pigs in consequence. There
are cases where the cause Of eating
pigs may be other than improper feed
ing. but in the vast majority of cases
it may be placed to that. The sow
does not need much fattening
feed. The feed she needs is
of a kind that will make
bone and sinew. Her bowels need spe.
cially looking after. though if she is fed
largely on bone aud muscle-forming
foods. with some roots, they will take
care of themselves. She needs water.
Swill does not take the place of water.
Ii the system is in proper condition she
will not likely eat her pigs. There is
one thing that needs to be guarded
against, and that is that other sows
shall not see her eat her pigs. If they
do it is probable that you will have
other sows doing it. 1t is better, there
fore, that each SOW should have a
place by herself to farrow. Another
thing: If u SOW eats her pigs once she
is likely to do it again. 1t is like abor-
ton among cows. 1t is, therefore, very
important that the animal have such
care as will tend to prevent the first
occurrence of the kind.-Rural World.

plainest way. A pretty way to make
this creponette dress is perfectly plain.
Lay the gathers equal all around, with
perhaps little more fullness in the
back. The waist itself, which is always
the most elaborate part of the dress,
can have a yoke of silk with braid sewec
upon it. Around the yoke there can be
a ruffie of the plain silk.
The popular color for these dresses is
a bright scarlet, and the trimmings
upon scarlet dress should always be
black, unless bright green is selected.
