LOSSES IN YOUNG PIGS.
Why the Percentage Of Deaths I.
Large.

1t is safe to assert that ordinarily
SO per cent. of the pigs die at birth to
the age of ten days. The losses at this
period are estimated to be next to
those caused by the ravages of cholera.
This is frequently followed by an
other period of losses commencing at
weaving time. These losses are gen
orally caused by improper feeding.
The corn-fed SOW brings small. weak
ly constituted pigs. The heat pro-
duced by too much corn develops fever
and pigs die of starvation.
Again, weaving time is a critical
period in the life of the pig. BY COM
parison, says Farmers Review, it has
been ascertained that the milk of the
SOW is about three times richer in fat
and twice as rich in sugar of milk as
is the milk of the COW. Depriving
the pig of rich concentrated food and
requiring it to depend on ordinary
feed such as corn and grass would be
very violent change. Corn is de-
ficient in ash and protein, and alfalfa
is too bulky for supplying these nutri-
ents in the concentrated and efficient
form required by pigs. 1t will pay to
feed fresh milk and skimmilk to the
young pigs. Young pigs should be
regularly fed, as often as five times a
day.

almshouse that he will not survive his
terrible experience.
Schmidt. who was out of job and
penniless, crawled into the car as it
stood on siding in the Newark

snowstorm. The car was filled with
bales of rags consigned to the Coco

That day it was attached to

in the Philadelphia freight yards of
the Pennsylvania railroad, but all the
imprisoned mans pounding failed to
attract attention to his plight.
In the freight yard here Schmidt
made a last feeble effort to attract
attention of some one who went
whistling by. The man heard the
knocking, but was afraid to break
the seal. Several hours later he
told policeman and the car was

New Jersey Farmers, Fooled Time

Pennington, N. J.-After laboring
all night in the swollen. ice filled
stream Of the South Branch river a
band OF farmers succeeded shortly be-
fore dawn in rescuing seven-year-old
Johnnie Mathews, marooned on a
wagon in the midst Of the torrent.
The river was rising inch by inch
as the men worked, and the boy was
taken of in the nick of time. the
wagon having disappeared beneath the
flood when light came.
News of the boys perilous plight
was brought to neighboring farmers
by the two men who were driving
with the boy when the wagon became
stalled. They were Frederick Rowe
and Arbor Marshall.
With team of horses they had
started for Pennington and attempted
to cross the south branch at Packers
island, they said.
The river was in flood several feet
deep over the embankment, but the

rent became far SW1fter and the Ice
swept down in great masses.
The roar of the stream and the
blows of the ice terrified the team and
they baked. The men whipped and
coaxed, but the animals only whin-
MED and shivered with fright and re-
fused to advance.
I'VE swan ashore to get help. The
boy still is on the wagon" Rowe said.
One Of the farmers leaped on a
horse and rode among the neighbors,
raising the alarm. Dusk was falling
by the time the rescuers came to the
rivers edge, and in the thick fog only
dim masses of trees and bushes could
be distinguished, and the boy and
wagon were hidden from sight.
