| and one-half Berkshire. I get a
| Berkshire boar or two every TWO
years to breed my sows to the point
whore | want them, and then select
from the offsprings my bunch of new
brood sows, SO you see that ii Is not
hard to keep up the breed you want
Now it might happen that you did
not make the change just to the eX-
act date. Well. this fact is not going
to break you, for the one years ult-
ference does not amount to great
deal, but you can plainly see the diff
ference in the stock after the second
year. Consequently, | recommend
that this change of sows be made
every three years if you want to get
the best results.
Another particular thing / want TO
call your attention to, and that is
casterating and spaying. The proper
time to do it for best results is when
the pigs are ten days old Now, you
don't see why, do you? Well, | can
tell you in several ways. The pigs,
while young and tender heal up
quickly, and it does not stunt their
growth. Another thing, the loss Is
not 1 per cent at that age, and II you
count the time 1t takes to do this work
after your pigs are three or four
months old, you will find a large dlt-
ference there besides the danger you
are running of losing about 10 per cent
of them if you do not keep close tab on
them. Another danger you prohibit by
casterating and spaying at this age
is this: When lot of three or four
months old pigs are turned out to-
gether there is likely to be large
damage to your herd of shoats, for l
find that a hog develops to breeding
point very early in life, and you know
what it means to have a bunch OF
PIGGY sows after you have gotten
them fat and ready for market. The
result is you cannot market them.
Now, you may wonder yourself if
fully practice all this in my business
of hog raising. Well, it is just like
any other business as far as that goes,
and l do practice these methods as
fully as 1 can, for they have proved
profitable to mo. Now. you may say
it is too costly to practice / know
this is merely a method of hog rails
ing-the experience of one man-but to
find the best and cheapest way of rails
ing hogs is not easily stumbled on.

fresh water all the time. This pen
is arranged so that one man can take
care of 1900 head of hogs alone and
without much trouble. l cannot eX-
plain the arrangement of this pen
much palmer to you but If anyone
wishes to call on me 1 will explain
and show him the full details.
Now. in my hog houses 1 can raise
1900 pigs twice a year. / have it ar
ranged so that / can have one or two
sows to the pen. These pens are
divided parts being separated, size
of pens 6x16 feet with 6 feet out in
the sunshine, and 10 feet under as
good roof as can be built: water
trough in every pen with running
water and so arranged that while the
hogs are in the pens they can have
as much or as little water as / see fit
l also keep plenty of fresh lime in the
trough, as l find it a great help TO the
hogs.
OF course there are several things
to be taken into consideration, but II
properlv handled all these troubles can
be worked out. Now, one of the worst
troubles is mad hogs" This kills
more of the little pigs than anything
else and is caused by feeding the
mothers of the little ones while nurs-
ing them.
IT is not easy for a man to catch
on to everything in one year or two;
l have had fifteen years experience in
this business and am still learning
things that are useful to me.
In order to raise good, strong
bunch of pigs there is one thing you
must surely know, and that is how to
feed the mother. Then don't watch
the sow, but watch the pig, for If any,
thing has gone wrong it shows in the
pigs first.
Now the whole secret of this business
is in feeding the mother and keeping
her out of the filth until her pigs are
2 months old You may wonder about
this part of it; the feed is more than
any one thing in the whole business.
Be sure to get your sows in gooo
shape before breeding them and have
the males in a like good condition;
then breed them all in even punches,
as it makes less work and trouble.
While in the pens with little pigs l
feed one and a half pounds of barley

sows cannot stand the one and half

INVITES CAPITAL
IN RICH VALLEY
UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES IN
IMPERIAL COUNTRY
DEVELOPMENT OF STOCK AND
DAIRY ENTERPRISES
Cattle, Horses and Hog Raising Give
Good Returns to the Rancher.
Dairy Interests Expand
ing There

N HE principal live stock in Imperial
valley is hogs, there being several
- hundred thousand head raised in
the valley at the present time. They
are pastured on growing barley and
alfalfa until fattening time. then they
are fed barley to harden them few
weeks before market.
The raising of cattle for beef is
not very extensive at the present
time. but is growing rapidly. In 1909
it is estimated there We're twenty
thousand head of cattle shipped into
this valley and fattened for the mar
ket
Sheep raising has proven very
profitable, there now being several
thousand in this valley. One firm
alone has about 10000 head I'M
perial valley will soon supply the en-
tire Los Angeles market with spring
lamb.
Horses are raised here at a good
profit and are in great demand.
We give below a communication
on hog raising from James M. Prim,
the largest and most successful hog
raiser in the valley:
Holtville, Cal. May 1, 1909.
Coming from Douglas county, Ill,
where l farIned many years, and
where 1 made money in hogs, l ar
rived in Imperial Valley on March 5,
1905, and have found this just the
place for raising hogs on large
scale.
1 started with forty brood sows the
first year, increasing that number to
140 for the second year, as l found
it best to have enough hogs to eat
up the feed raised on the ranch.
Ever since starting I have been in
creasing my stock as I found them to
be good money makers if properly
handled. But there were many things
to learn. I thought when coming
here 1 had learned it all, but soon
found L did not know the whole Sc
cret.
l will state a few facts which any
one wishing to raise hogs in the I'M
perial valley will do well to read
One of the first things is to be sure
you are prepared before you pur-
chase your stock. By that ] mean
your fences, good alfalfa pasture, with
barley and corn to fatten them on.
This means larger pigs and before the
increase comes you will find it hard
work to keep ahead, but 1 stuck to
it and was determined to make the
best of it.
| now have, as near as I can tell,
about $500 head of hogs on my ranch.
/ have 800 acres of land and have
raised all these hogs on it, but 1 pre-
pared myself for the business.
I have on my place a self-feeder
that holds 10000 bushels of grain, and
can feed 1000 head of hogs around it
at a time / also have a small pig
house where I keep my breeding sows.
This breeding pen Is 440 feet long
by 33 feet wide, covered and well ar
ranged with running water so that I
can give the stock plenty of good

EXPANSION EVIDENT
IN ACREAGE TRACT
Water Piped to New Subdivision of
Five Acre and Two and One
Half Acre Tracts in
New Plat

Patton & Longley have placed a new
addition to Main Moneta Acres on the
market. The new tract, which contains
100 acres, adjoins the former tract of
Main Moneta Acres; which was sold out
a few months ago. 1t is situated on
Main street and South Park avenue,
about three miles south of the city linn
it's. 1t is of easy access to the Moneta
short line on the Redondo railway, be-
ing about twenty-five minutes ride
from the center of Los Angeles
The land is piped with water in steel
mains from the big storage reservoir,
which is located on the highest point of
the land and furnishes water for
domestic and irrigation purposes. The
property is divided in 21a and 5-acre
tracts. Some idea of the immense de-
mand for this property can be gained
from the fact that the inquiries at
Patton & Longley's office are very
numerous. The sales average $1,000 a
day.
The new electric car line which has
been surveyed from Los Angeles to San
Pedro passes through the property on
South Park avenue. The right of way
has been reserved, and it is supposed
work will begin in a short time. The
soil is a rich sandy loan and is espe-
cially adapted for raising berries and
fruit, also oranges and lemons. Po-
tatoes and alfalfa are two crops that
are favored in this district, owing to
the abundance of water and the pro-
ductiveness of the soil. Sales were
made to the following during the past
week: Sarah Lawson, two and one
half acres on South Park avenue, $1375;
NJ. r. Roland, five acres on South Park
avenue, $2750; Charles M. Wood, five
acres on South Park avenue, $275O; w
2. Roberts, five acres on Mckinley
avenue. $2750; A. e. Gates, two and

The Surrendered Life,

It is not enough to yield ourselves up to God once for all, ard think that we have then done with the matter. Our surrender to God cannot be com pleted in a single act, but it must go on in continued, neverceasing series of acts so long as we draw the breath of life. We forget this, and wonder why. when our surrender at some time in the past was so sincere and complete and unconditional, we do not realize the peace and joy and power tat the surrendered life is supposed to bring. The trouble is that we are trying to let a single act of surrender take the place of those continued acts of surrender in the everyday trifies of duty which alone can give meaning and efficacy to the original surrender that We made. The surrendered life must be kept surrendered; the act of surrender is never finished while there remains any duty-doing and service to be done.

Water Stains.

To take out the water stains from green satin gown stretch the satin smoothly upon board covered with a clean cloth and pin 1t taut. Then, with your finger nail, scratch gently around the edges of the spots until they are blended with the surrounding texture Work thus toward the center of the stain. If you are careful in the task and do not skip thread. the chances are that the spot will be so nearly invisible as not to be observed by the casual observer.

TO PREPARE THE POTATO
Correct Method of Cooking With View to the Paatableness of
 the Vegetable.

Most people know potatoes as boiled. baked and warmed over. Plain boiled and mashed for variants on the first; creamed and fried on the last, and nothing you can do to a baked potato, if properly baked, can i'm, prove it.
 Baked potatoes are more easily digested than if cooked in any other way, but to be at their best should be subjected to a heat sufficient to crisp the skins without burning them. A potato baked in a slow oven Is not equal to one from a good hot one.
 Baked potatoes are the proper thing to serve with cold meats. Se- lect smooth, medium-sized potatoes, and time the baking so they will be just done, not over baked and soggy, when the meal is served. A baked potato should be eaten at the psy' chological moment.
 Boiled potatoes should be cooked slowly in a covered kettle. Most cooks advise putting them into boil ing salted water.

Green Icing for Cake.

Green icing is simply the ordinary white icing colored green with a tiny bit of the green coloring matter that you can buy at any large confection' ers, or with spinach juice, which you can prepare at home. To make juice from spinach take handful of we'll washed leaves, shake dry then cook in their own juice on the stove for few moments If cooked in double boiler, or cup set in larger vessel of hot water, there will be no danger of burning and the juice will soon ex- ude. Strain and use. Only few drops will be required. You can make the icing with confectioner' sugar, white of egg and as much water as half an egg shell will hold for each pound of sugar used. or you can make the boiled icing.

BROOM FOR THE FIREPLACE
Hearth Brush Not a Hard Thing to Put Together and Will Be Found
 Most Serviceable.

Have you fireplace that you like to keep nicely brushed up, or any oth- ar little corner that needs occasional dusting? A hearth brush is a very easy thing to make, useful thing to have and an attractive addition to the furniture of any fireplace, colonial or modern. The real ones are not, l be- lieve, to be had in this part of the country. Try making it yourself.
 Go or send to some broom factory for handful of the longest broomcorn stalks. You may be lucky enough to get them nearly three feet long. but 20 inches or two feet will be plenty long enough, and ten cents will fully cover the price. Take as many as you can grasp in one hand, say bundle as thick as your wrist and soak the stems in water for an hour. Hot water is best. This will make them far soft CT and easier to work with.
 Now take ordinary brown binder or wrapping twine, the rougher the bet ter. make a slipnoose around the bun de below the middle, holding the stems uppermost and the broom end on the ground, and wind tightly, as tightly as you you can pull the twine, making collar of twine about an inch long. The ends can be secured by sewing them into the stems with mattress needle or thrustng them through with hairpin. Make another collar lik0 if a halfwav m and third two or three inches from the butt end of the stems, and your broom is done and ready for use as soon as 1ry. And you will have a real south ern hearth broom, practically itlds- 5tructible, and better looking than any you can buy in the shops.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

 At the left a rose colored turban shows a cleverly wrought brim in which long strip of braid edged with folds of maline does double service. It covers the brim and ornaments it at the same time. ribbon plume made of a series of loops is of rose-colored satin ribbon. A silver ornament tin- ishes the trim. This is one of the prettiest models shown in turbans.
 At the right a smart street hat is made of satin braid and has the edge of the brim finished with shirred ma line The hat is in a light olive, while the ribbon trim is changeable blue and green taffeta. In this model the crown is a square of the braid draped across the frame. The idea is original and clever. The facing is of shirred maline and a ribbon bow fin- ishes the back.
