action between two local farmers.
John Walker Wakelin of Marshall's
farm sought to obtain an injunction
against George Hunnable of Motley

Wakelin said that Hunnable had
swine fever on his farm, and that on
II occasion he took some pigs for a
ride in his motor a to Romford.
Hunnable admitted taking the pigs in
his motor car to Romford, but he de.
uied that those pigs had swine fever.
The judge refused an injunction

doing full work if she farrows only
once
There is a widespread feeling that
young sows that raise just one litter,
and are then put in the fattening pen,
are growing into money faster than if
retained longer for breeders. This is
because the possibilities of the second
litter each year from mature sows are
not fully realized. Again, mature sows
experience less difficulty at narrowing,
and raise more and stronger pigs than
young sOws.
AS to numbers of pigs, the follow
ing is rather an extreme example. My
father in a recent year, from Is ma
ture sOws, raised 104 pigs in the
spring, all narrowed inside of two
weeks, SO they were uniform in size,
with lot one runt. A neighbor, from
100 gifts, raised less than 100 pigs,
varying as much as two months in
ages. A tabulation of the filters from
6.145 sows, recorded in one volume of

lively Sandstone Good Points About
HoSs-By e. T. Robbins.

A mature SOW can raise two filters
as successfully as one, and with no
extra feed save that required for nour-
ishing the second litter. Where only
one litter Of pigs is raised yearly from
mature sows, it Is difficult to keep
them contented during the summer
and fall unless they are fed so heavi-
ly as to become too fat.
An old SOW which has raised a litter
OF March pigs and is bred again for
September, will keep in good, thrifty
condition during the summer on
clover pasture alone, says Orange
Judd Farmer. If she is sucked down
thin in the spring, because she was
1nsufficiently fed at that time, she
needs but little grain during the sum-
mer on good pasture to put her in fine
condition again. One litter is enough
for a SOW in her first year. In her
second year and thereafter she is not

The fall litter of pigs should be far
rowed as early as September, so that
the pigs get as much growth as pos
sible before winter. This makes it
necessary to have the spring pigs
come in March. OF course pigs need
good shelter and careful attention at
that time, but one can better afford
time to care for them in March before
field work is well under way, than to
take half as much time to devote to
the young things in April, when plow-

PATA0S IN REUNION
Brothers Thought Each Other
Dead for Sixty Two Years.
They Meet In the Hoosier State for
tho First Time Since the Battle
Of Cerro Gordo In the
Mexican War.

Nashville. Ind.-When Everett
johnson came here from st. Louis to
visit his brother, Charles, the final
chapter was written in a romance
that was brought about by strange
combinations and circumstances.
Their meeting here was the first since
the battle Of Cerro Gordo, in a noun
tain pass of Mexico, in 1847, and the
fact that each thought the other dead
all these years made their meeting
all the more remarkable.
The reunion of the two aged broth
ers was brought about by the sweet
hearts of their boyhood days. Charles
Johnson is 81 years old and Everett
is 80.
1t was in West Virginia, their ma
tive state, that the began.
There, while the two brothers were
still mere lads, they began counting
two young women of their own age,
Miss Woods and Miss Asbury. The
two young women were cousins. This
courtship lasted for two years and
then came the call of the great west.
The two brothers decided t 0 leave
Ghelr native state and go to Kentucky.
Shortly after the war with Mexico
broke out and they enlisted.
After many exciting experiences in
which the two brothers were ever
ready to sacrifice for each other, the
eve Of the battle of Cerro Gordo ar
rived. Before entering the battle
each promised that in case either
was injured the other would stay by
aim until he recovered or until death
relieved his suffering. During the
battle Charles was shot. Everett saw
him fall and helped carry him to the
rear, where the injured MAJ tainted
n it was thought he was dying. 1t
was in the thickest of the fight and
believing his brother dead, Everett
returned to the firing line.
Charles gradually recovered and
after receiving his discharge went to
New Orleans, where he engaged in
business. At the beginning of the
civil war he enlisted in the confeder-
ate army and at the close he went to
the southern part of Indiana, where
he was married. After his wife died,
a few years ago, he set out to find
the sweetheart of his boyhood days.
He found that she was still in his ma
tive state, that she had been married,
but that her husband had died a few
years ago. He went to West Vir-
ginia and when he returned he
brought back a wife. who was Miss
Woods in the days before the John
son boys left their native state.
After the Mexican war Everett
Johnson went to California, where
he made his fortune in the gold
fields. He married and was prosper
Gus. After his wife died he removed
to st. Louis, where he met a widow,
Mrs Elizabeth Williams. He found
that Mrs. Williams was once a resi-
dent of his native town, that she was
once Miss Asbury, the sweetheart of
his boyhood days. Three weeks ago
they were married at st. Louis.
Through her Johnson learned that his
brother was alive and that he had
married the one-time Miss Woods.
The meeting of the two brothers
was pathetic. With tears streaming
down their cheeks they kissed each
other,

ly. 1t will not do to let them drag
along on pasture with little grain.
Well fed September pigs will weigh
SO pounds when winter sets in, and
be fat and we'll covered with hair, so
they do not suffer from the cold. Such
pigs will thrive all winter if pro-
vided with plenty of feed and a dry,
sheltered sleeping place. They must
be fed some meat meal. tankage, or
oil meal to the extent of ten per cent.
of their ration, or some shorts to the
extent of 25 per cent. of ration, along
with corn. These feeds, while expen.
sive, do not need to be fed in large
amounts in order to increase the
growth of the pigs as much as so per
cent. At the same time, pigs so fed
will keep far healthy than those
fed on a straight corn diet.
