MANAGING THE BOAR.
Careful Feeding Needed to Keep Hin
In Condition.

Careful Feeding Needed to Keep Hin
In Condition.
His permanent quarters should be
clean, dry, warm, well lighted and well
ventilated pen, ten or twelve feet
square, with a yard adjoining where
sows may be brought to service.
Breeders generally advocate the prac.
tice Of keeping a boar to himself dur
Ing the entire year-out Of sight and
hearing Of the sows. However, a boar
Is often allowed to run with the sows
after they are safe in pig, but during
the breeding season 1t is by far the
best policy to keep him by himself,
admitting SOW to his yard for mating
and allowing but one service. This
will be productive Of the best results
In many ways. The energies Of the
male are not overtaxed. He may thus
serve a much larger number Of sows,
and the litters will generally be larger
and the pigs stronger. In the case Of a
SOW that is a somewhat shy breeder
and a valuable animal she may be al
lowed to remain with boar during the
greater part of her heat, but such In
stances are exceptional.
The feed of the boar when not In
service may be Of succulent nature,
mainly pasture and cut green forage
during the summer months and roots
In winter. A boar can hardly be sus-
tanned on this alone, and some grain
should be allowed to keep him in con-
dition. This should be heterogeneous in
character, consisting Of mill feeds
such as shorts, middlings and bran
some oilmeal and the leguminous
grains, with a little corn. As the
breeding season approaches the feed
should be increased SO that the boar
will be in good condition. While not
in service ample exercise should al.
ways be insisted upon, even II 1t must
be urged by the whip.
Exercise is productive Of well devel.
oped muscles and general thrift. With
these two conditions activity and
soundness of reproductive organs will
usually follow. During the breeding
season it will not be possible for the
boar to get the same amount Of exer.
else, and accordingly care must be tax.
en- that his energies are not wasted by
unnecessary service. Careful feeding
will do much to counteract this advan.
tage. 1t must always be remembered
that the drains on boar during serv.
Ice are severe. especially II fifty or six.
ty sows are served. This will require
ample feed, with as much exercise al
possible, and with care in his treatment
will bring about good results. A fully
matured boar should not serve more
than two sows daily, preferably one In
the morning and one In the afternoon,
and can serve fifty or sixty In a sea

THE LIGHT BRAHMA.

Popular Fowl with Many Fancisrs
and Market Poultrymen.
Since its introduction in America the
Light Brahma has been a popular
fowl. Many breeds and varieties have
come and gone, but the old Light
Brahma remains, the love and pride
Of a host of fanciers and the mainstay
Of a large number Of market poultry
men, writes Thomas r. Rlgg in Ameri-
can Poultry Journal.
AS an exhibition fowl the Light
Brahma occupies a prominent place.
This large, massive bird, beautiful in
its color markings Of pure white and
black, Is very attractive In the show
pen. In New England its popularity
Is the greatest, both as fanciers' and
utility fowl. 1t has been truly said
that there Is time in the life Of every
fancier when he has desire to breed
the Light Brahma. There Is a pleas
Ing personality about the Light Brah-
ma-stately and majestic and easy re-
pose.
AS an egg producer the breed holds
an enyiable record. This fowl pro-
duces majority Of its eggs in the cold
months, when the product commands
the highest market price. Many fall

This scribe believes in being pro-
gressive; being up to date. Would
it not be a move in the right direc-
ton to petition the city cemetery
trustees to erect a dancing booth
in the center of the graveyard? 1t
should be in the center of the
graveyard, so as to be convenient
for all corners. 1t would surely
be boon to some. Immediately
after paying the last rites of respect
to departed friends they could 60
post-haste to the dancing booth and
refresh themselves.
If such dancing booth is erected
great care should be taken to have
the floor perfectly smooth and well
waxed so the mourners would not
stump their toes. It might be well
to put the cemetery sexton under
heavy bonds to keep the floor at all
times in proper trim, SO as to be
ready for use at any time.
Who will be the first to circulate
such petition? They surely would
meet with little opposition as ii
seems to be the order to end all
public gatherings with a social hop.
