MATURE SOWS THE
BETTER PRODUCERS.

Discussing the question (Which is
the better SOW for the breeder, the old
SOW or the giltT william Dietrich of
the Illinois station. author Of Swine
Breeding" says In Farm and Fireside:
think, as rule, an old or mature
SOW will produce larger litter than a
young SOW. Sometimes also an old
SOW will have better developed I'D
der and can raise a better litter Of
pigs than a young SOW. The latter,
however. is not always true, and the
reverse frequently occurs.
In order to have a good old SOW she
must be properly developed when she
is young-that is. she must be properly
fed and must raise a sufficient num-
Der Of pigs during the first one or two
periods Of lactation. In other words.
II SOW has only a few pigs in the
first one or two filters the chances are
that only the parts of the udder used
then will become developed and the
remainder will become dormant, so that
she will not be able to develop more
good pigs afterward than she raised
during the first one or two litters.
believe in the policy of keeping all
good old sows as long as they are
good producers. Even though young
sows are carefully selected. there are
always number of inferior ones in
the bunch. In fact, there are never
more than few outstanding good
sows in any bunch of gifts that may
be selected. and, furthermore. this can.
not always be recognized until after
having raised the first litter Some
may not be able to. produce large lit
tiers, others may not breed at all. and
still others may not be able to give
sufficient milk. and so on. Conse-
quently n herd of sows should be Sc
lected in the first place before they
are bred so as 10 breed nothing but
the best ones. and these should be Sc
lected again after raising the first III.

In regard to an old SOW being able

that young SOW. would say that n
young sow naturally Is growing and
needs sufficient feed to make this
growth besides being maintained.

A Touah Meal.

Tastes differ strangely from age to
age. Flamingoes tongues are said to
have been an epicurean luxury in Ro-
man days, but the authors of "Unex-
plored Spain" who experimental with
them, found no pleasure In the meal.
THE tongue" they say, lis u thick
feshy organ, filling the whole cavity
OF the mandlbles, and furnished with
series of flexible, bony spikes or
hooks nearly half an inch long and
curving inward. We found them quite
uneatable-tough as india rubber. Even

Now. the Indians In question had
never seen a safe at close quarters
until this one happened along. but they
knew that 1t contained money; also
they wanted that money.
They first pounded Off the knob with
stones, under the impression that the
door could then be pried open. Their
attempt was, Of course, a failure. The
next. step was to try their tomahawks
on the chilled steel In the hope that a
hole might be cut In It, This means,
too, proved Of no avail, so they de.
termined to try fire. Accordingly,
they gave the safe three hour roast
Ing Luckily for the government, It
was fireproof. They threw big rocks
upon It while 1t was hot, but they were
as far from the money as ever.
Next the Apaches dragged the safe
up the side of mountain and tumbled
It over precipice 200 feet high They
expected. of course, to see It burst
open, but the only damage was slight
injury to one of the wheels. The safe
was left soaking in the river for three

Then they tried gunpowder; but,
knowing nothing of the drt of blast.
ing, they brought about an explosion
that burned half dozen warriors and
left the safe none the worse.
The Indians worked over that safe
of and on for month or more, but
failed to get at the inside. Finally. in
disgust, they left 1t in deep ravine.
Fourteen months later when peace
came, the army accidentally found the
safe. 1t was lying In the bed Of a
creek with great pile Of drlftwood
around 1t. 1t was sad looking safe.
