Care of the Brood Sow.

Iowa is a great hog state. Her
farmers raise nearly one-ffth of all
the hogs raised in the United States
1t may, therefore, be in order to call
attention to few things in regard
to the management of the brood SOW,
especially SO since breeders have had
good bred SOW trade this fall. Evi-
IDENTIFY many farmers are either be-
ginning to raise pure bred hogs or
else they are getting ready to grade
up their herds more than usual. We
take it for granted that many young
men have invested in pure bred
stock this winter, men who have not
had a great deal Of experience in
caring forstock of that kind. AS
general rule the bred sows purchased
of breeders are apt to be over fat.
The young breeder is often tempted
to keep his pure bred sows in that
form rather than to reduce them to
agood condition. A good many sows
will farrow during the month Of
March when cold weather still pre-
walls, and unless extra precautions
are taken many pigs may be lost.
When pigs are born during the
cold weather it is absolutely neces-
sary to give them good attention if
they are to grow and do we'll. Our
best breeders know when their sows
are to farrow and they watch them
carefully prior to the narrowing
period. AS soon as the pigs are born
careful breeders remove them from
the sow, put them into a barrel or
basket containing some heated brick
or a soapstone in the bottom. over
which is placed a good thick layer of
straw. Here the pigs dry off quick
ly. After the SOW is through farrow-
ing and has become quiet it is time
enough to let the pigs to her. They
don't need to suck FIVE minutes after
they have seen daylight; in fact, it
is a good plan, whether the SOW far
rows in cold or warm weather, to re-
move the pigs one by one as they
are born and not leave them around
the SOW while she is still in pain and
too often inclined to be little cross
and nervous. If possible, put up a
stove in the hog house during the
farrowing period and keep the house
moderately warm Tor the first week
after the birth of the pigs. In that
way they will get a good start, and
once they have that they are easily
raised.
1t is important, too, to feed the
sow carefully during pregnancy.
Don't feed her too much corn; feed
literally of oats, barley, wheat, bran
and oil meal. 1t is more economical
to feed these grains ground or crush
ed, if it can be done. This is es-
pecially true Of oats and wheat.
Where appliances for grinding are
not at hand it will pay to soak these
grains in hot or warm water over
night. If this is not done quite a

The Armstrong committee has re-
commended the enactment of a
statute by the New York legislature
for the abolition of Wall street con-

Legislation for the protection of pol

judged by boards of experienced officers to
be the ones who. on account of being the
least efficient, can best be spared from the
service. Although the officers thus eIimin-
ated from active service are retired, at the
lower ages, with a very moderate percent
ags of their active pay. they are still be-
lieved to be treated with proper considerH-
ton. especially when the consequences of
lack of success in civil life are borne in
mind. Oh1cers retired at forty years OF
age will receive about 500 year as retired
pay and will have all their time at their
disposal for the purpose of increasing their
incomes; those retired with q less amount
will be at ages sufficiently young to enable
them to perform the work which should
bring them In, when added to their retired
pay. enough TO preserve them from hard

Ultimate Composition of Retired List
"A substantial advantage carried by the
scheme is that there will be on the retired
list and under pay from the government
about 3S5 officers, ultimately. under forty

properly subject to summons into the active
service of the army upon occasion of war,
or of active preparation for war.
