Food Durinu Earrowinu,

Sows that have been fed an almost
exclusive diet of corn during preg-
nancy, reach the farrowing period in
highly feverish state are irritable
and nervous aid crave some flesh
forming food. They very likely kill
one of the pigs and eat it and having
once tasted flesh the chances are they
will devour the entire litter If left
to themselves. Other troubles at far
rowing are also frequent where sows
have been fed too much fattening
food and have had little exercise. The
pregnant SOW is pig factory and the
feed she demands is that which will
make bone, muscle and gristle, for
that is what the pig consists Of. Feed
her whole oats, barley, shorts, little
oil meal, ETC.. and only enough corn
to keep her in good condition. See
that she takes ample exercise. Feed
her some distance from her pen and
scatter whole grain thinly on the
ground making it necessary for her to
spend considerable time in gathering
enough to satisfy her. Sows fed in
this way will seldom have any trou-
Bile at farrowing or evince any desire
to eat their young.

stand quite immovable meant that, be-
fore closing, the lion, If unwounded,
would stand, too. Then came the
spearman's one chance. The stories

wounded, and from a distance, are

KILLED IN HIS CAVE THEATRE

nance that goes with the digging of

William Hicks, ID years old, was
killed by shock from an electric

sever with a pair of nippers. 1t had
been a summer of much interest for
William and his three playmates,
Nathaniel Fleming, Dan Davidson and
Otto Smith. There was nothing to
do except play and live, without the
thought of grammar or geography.

the boys decided they needed an "of-
fee" An idea of cave was roman.
tic and suggestive of GOODNESS, and
with spade and pick the four worked
hard in a vacant lot until the cave
was made large enough for their
needs. Then came the question of
illumination. An electric light would
be just the thing. Wires were strung
from the barn, and the work of illumi.
mating the cave began. The wire
needed cutting, and, believing the cur.
rent had been cut, young Hicks en-.
deavored to sever it. He pressed the
nippers against the deadly copper
thread and penetrated the insulation
A scream followed, the boys hold on
the wire relaxed and he fell to the
floor of the cave. The other boys ran
for aid, but when DR.. q. Mason reach

Like produces like" is the golden
rule and summary of the science of
breeding says the American Cultiva-

resemblance is decided not only by
the immediate parents. but by the
grandparents and the great grandpar-

links in a chain, or rather like the
twigs of tree to the main branch.
Hence the qualities of the family
must extend through several genera
tions, better a dozen generations, to
appear with fair certainty in the Off
spring.
When a characteristic has once
struck into the organization Of line
Of stock 1t remains with great per-
sistence, even when mated with un-
like individuals, as, for instance, the
broad belt of the Dutch cattle, which
is nearly always impressed upon
cross of that breed; or the peculiar
build and disposition of the Morgan
horse which persists in spite of many
