It is not the number of pigs that a
sow farrows that spells success SO much
sa the number she brings to safe
weaving. Some breeds are noted for SUI
perfiuous prolificacy, the sows farrow-
ing more pigs than they can properly
nourlsh. Berkshire sows farrow about
the right number for best results. Any
sow that raises six to seven pigs a
year is a moneymaker, if she is good
SOW and the pigs are inteHigently
handled.
Some day the swine registry associa-
lions will preserve records of farrow-
ing performances, so that the charac-
ter Of prolificacy may be studied and
increased if necessary. We do not know
at present, nor is there any way of as
certaining how many pigs per sow
would strike the average of any breed.
There is a considerable difference in
the fecundity of sows. Some drop IL
to Is at litter others to 8. Which
is the more profitable? That depends,
as We have suggested, on the number
weaned by the dams. Usually sows far
rowing II to Is pigs do not raise more
than half of them, the others dying for
want of nourishment. Large 1itters
generally contain several runts which
it is we'll nigh impossible to bring out
of their condition.
Breeders who take pains to improve
their herds along fundamental lines
should keep accurate records of each
sow's work. Private history should be
made and preserved. With a card IN

Care of the Nails

For the attractive hand there is re-
quired something more than soft
white flesh. There must be an evil
dence of care in the well-shaped, care
fully groomed nails, without which the
first attributes are useless.
Now, of course, the good condition of
your nails may be secured by care and
frequent visits to the specialist, but the
meaning of this little talk today is,
Every woman her own manicurist"
More than that, am going to hold out
a tempting offer of ten minutes a day
as the price Of beautiful nails.
The ordinary working outfit is not
appalling-for the extensive manicure
sets have a great many superfluous in
struments which can be dispensed with
by the woman to whom time is valu-
able.
Scissors, a feather file, an orange
wood stick and buffer are all that you
will need to attain good looking nails.
Before you begin operations, a
cleansing bath of warm water and a
good pure soap are necessary. This
prepares the way for easy work. If
hard water be your fate, add tiny
pinch of borax to the solution. I adj
wise dip into olive oil for brittle fling
them with lubricant that approaches
the natural oil.
After two minutes of this treatment
dry the fingers and shape the nails
with the file, one surface of which
should be smooth, to prevent any
roughening of the under side of the
nail. Your nails should follow the out
line of the fingertips, extending Just q
