Management of
Brood Sows

In the selection of brood sowS far
too little attention is given to choosing
those that are likely to make quiet and
easily managed dams, says the Farm
er. Nothing in live stock lines would
seem more undesirable than a brood
sow FESTIVE and more or less cross, es-
pecially at the time when she is nurs-
ing her progeny.
1t may be said that it is not possible.
to be quite sure when choosing dams
which have not yet been bred as to
whether they will be cross or other
wise. There is a measure of truth in
the statement Nevertheless, if one is
working from day to day with litter
of pigs, if possessed of that observa-
ton which the owner or feeder of
swine should have in order to make a
marked success of the work, he will
notice difference in the tameness OF
wildness of the members of the same
litter. This of course is the outcome of
disposition. When a quiet disposition
is manifested at so early an age that
disposition is likely to remain. On the
other hand, should the young sow
show a marked tendency to shyness
and nervousness these things are also
likely to characterize her as a dam.
AS soon as the brood SOW with her
first litter shows any disposition to
crossness she should be discarded
at the earliest convenient time. In
addition to the element Of danger that
injury may come to the attendant
such an animal is much more likely to
destroy her young by trampling on
them or in some such way than SOW
with the opposite disposition. 1t should
be remembered that this quality is he
reditary. Quietness, therefore, is much
more likely to characterize young sows
bred from quiet mothers than those
bred from mothers opposite in their
disposition.

Winter Care of Ewes.

!. Winter is the time of the year when
sheep owners can do more toward hav-
ings good lambs the following summer
than by waiting until they come and
then caring for them, says T. l..
Springer in National Stockman. The
eve now needs proper nourishment to
sustain the lamb she Is carrying; also
needs to sustain herself, and good
clover hay is nearly perfect feed for
sheep, but if the shepherd does not
have clover he must substitute and
will need to add grain. l never
thought that I derived much benefit
from bran, although a little will keep
the bowels free, which is necessary,
but sheep that are carrying lambs need
oats and some corn, and after Landing
add oil cake, and if you get the cake
ground coarse you will see that the
sheep like it better, and it will not
stick to their teeth and make their
mouths sore, as the fine meal is apt
to do.

Pumpkins are very plentiful
this year, and this fact leads to the
thought that Halloween is not far
distant. Monday night the Mystic
festival will be observed by the
smaller generation, and some grown
up people, too, and the mischievous
boy grows gleeful when he contem-
plates the fun he is going to have
on this fall holiday, one of the
greatest days of the year according
to his notions. Around Halloween
there is a great demand for pump
kins at the local groceries. The boys
are eager to get the big yellow
shiny rinds to make ''jack o
lanterns" Halloween parties will
of course be numerous on Hollow
cen this year and thus all old
fashioned games and amusements
will be enjoyed.

Care of Lambs.

A lamb once allowed to get poor will
not make money for either the grower
or feeder. The thrifty lamb is the
money maker. A scattering, uneven
fleece is indicative of either poor health
or very poor care.

Alfalfa For Hog Pasture.

An experiment station has stated that
on good alfalfa more than 1000 pounds

as valuable a crop as can be grown on
the land for feeding purposes.-Farm-
