SOws Will DO Better and Pigs Be Stronger
II This Rule is Followed.

In swine breeding there is a
very common mistake made by
the inexperienced in breeding the
sows too young. Swine grow and
develop rapidly. OF course, they
make growth and development
only from the feed they consume
and assimiIate. / have known
hog feeders, and, as for that,
fee iers- of all kinds of animals,
who seemed to assume that animals
have some faculty comparable to
that of our inestimable legum-
nous plants which gather much
of their sustenance from the at
mosphere, and consequently do
not need very much feed atten-
ton until near the line of their
marketable age. Now, while air
and sunshine are quite essential
for the life and healthfulness of
all animals in their making use
of feeds eaten, the condition re-
mains that thrift and growth and
profit depend upon the feed and
its character.
All successful breeding opera
tons presuppose the inherited
prepotent excellencies OF the in
dividuals to be used, hence the
young SOW that is intended for
a herd matron should be chosen
from litter sired by good
well-defined, matured type of
the male side OF the breed
elected, so that she may start
in on her labor of well doing with
the advantage of being well bred.
The dam of the young SOW should
be prolific, quiet. industrious,
motherly individual, typical of her
breed.
After this early selection of the
future SOW, feed and care must
take up the work of bringing her
into estate. She should be kept
growing and healthful, with her

DANDELIONS ARE
PEST OF LAWN
A Method Has Been Discovered Whereby
They May be Eradicated.

Numerous inquiries have already
been received from subscribers
who complain that the grass on
lawns is being crowded out by the
rank growth of dandelions. AS
these are getting thicker year
by year and the grass thinner
the owners are getting more and
more interested in some simple
remedy for bringing about their
destruction without injuring the
grass. Considerable work has
been done at the North Dakota
experiment station along this line
with special reference to the
effect of spraying lawns. In
bulletin number 50 of that station
Professor Bolley says that spray
ing will eventually give marked
results in destroying dande-
lions if the work is undertaken
with some patience and persis-
tence. According TO Professor
Bolley the dandelion may be Grad
icated in blue grass lawns, in
parks and meadows and road sides
without injury to the grass by
means of iron sulphate properly
applied and applied at the right
time. This does not mean that it
will stay out. 1t will be necessary
to spray the lawns approximately
once a month to once in six weeks
throughout the year in order to
hold the dandelion completely in
check. Four times spraying has
completely disposed of heavy

growth of new dandelions and
sent the dandelions of more than
one years growth into winter
without any foliage. This does
not mean that there will be no
dandelions on that lawn the COM
ing year, but it does mean that
with a proper hand sprayer and
a total of eight hours labor the
lawn has apparently been freed
from dandelions. OF course there
are millions of wind blown seeds
which will terminate and there are
many old roots which have not
been completely smothered be-
cause the process of starvation
has not been continued sufficiently
long. Yet spraying when properly
undertaken is a much cheaper
means of disposing of this pest in
lawns than any other mode now
in use and in that way the grass
need not be injured. Professor
Bolley was able TO prepare solu-
ton and properly spray an area
Of approximately 40 feet by
seventy feet in two hours time. 1t
would, of course, be impossible to
cut more than a few dandelions in
this time. Plantain, though more
hardy, also gradually dies out
under the spraying.
For ordinary lawn purposes the
ideal apparatus is the compressed
air type of hand spraying machine.
II is necessary that sufficient
pressure be maintained by the
pump to make a forceful spray of
a fine form. II the liquid is
thrown in large drops the grass
will be more or less injured, as
the very young grass roots be-
meath the soil have slight power
of resisting the action of the
chemical. The capacity of the
tank should be approximately
three to four gallons and it should
be of such neat construction that
one can readily carry il about
without soiling clothes. Necessar-
lily, IL it is properly air tight 1t
will be free from leaks and
chances TO spill liquids.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

The result of the election in Ohio
Is a disappointment to the women
from Maine to California but they
are not discouraged, nor dismayed
Already the plans are being made to
present suffrage again to the voters
through the initiative The trainers
Of the constitutional amendments in
Ohio voted 20 to l for the suffrage
amendment. These men represented
ohio's best men, Intellectually. and
morally. The best men worked and
voted for suffrage all through the
campaign. Every vicious interest in
Columbus, Cincinnati and the other
large cities lined up against it. Let
the good citizenship of Oregon take
notice. Much more than our best
men realize IT, the vicious element
everywhere knows what the women's
vote stands for
AS the campaign progresses more
and more the local women are awak-
ening TO a greater interest in their

teas were given during the week. and
several new lines OF work mapped

NOW THE JUDGE KNOWS.

Judg Robert c. Kinkhead, referee
in bankruptcy, was just naturally
curious. Besides, he was ordering a
new suit and he felt that it was his
privilege to ask a few questions.
The tailor, who Was taking his
measurements and noting them on a
pad, was making a number of mystic
abbrevations that puzzled him. He
has no sense of personal vanity, yet
he couldn't be certain whether they
were counted to create sense of
personal pulchritude or not
The tailor took his pencil from be-
hind his ear and scribbled on the
pad the letters IS. y. L."
Judge Kinkead peered over his
shoulder and ventured a question
"Oh, just a memorandum that I'm
making for personal reference" said
the tailor in tone that was intended
to head off further Interrogation.
The explanation was enlightening,
but Judge Kinkead was not to be sat-
isfied. What does it mean?" ne
asked.
The tailor was obviously embarrass-
ed. He hesitated.
GO ahead, man, what does 1t
mean insisted the judge.

FOR HIM WHO WAITS.

Everything comes in it's own good
time;
1t is We who get in a hurry.
The wires get crossed and our hearts
grow sad
With watching and waiting and
worry
To have and to hold of worldly goods,
Or winning a common living,
Aosorbs Of our time a greater share
Than all Of our schemes Of giving.
Everything comes to the one who
waits,
Save the things We dread from
habit.
Some have a way of catching cold
AS a boy might catch d rabbit
Some have way of looking down.
No matter how bright the weather;
They seem at loss TO understand
Why troubles all come together.
Everything come our way in time,
Whether we're brave or shrinking.
Comes in about the way we shape
our habits of life and thinking.
Lives that are lived in stress Of
pain
Can not be blithe or CHEEKY.
While the heart that sings in its love
of song
Will never of singing weary
Everything comes to us all in time
Money and health and station.
None are so small but they have a
right
To the bounty of all creation.
A right? Why, yes, there's a place
on top
For the best in every calling;
The fellow who climbs without look
ing down
Need never have fear of falling.

Woodrow Wilson is a democrat and

The track season will be on tomorrow
night. The George Washington games will
usher in the 1912 list Of events, and fol-
lowing close will be other meets calcu-
lated to bring together the best talent in
the south Atlantic section.
The first meet of the season tomorrow
will undoubtedly give a good line on the
strength of the various teams in this
section, as practically every school has
its best men entered. and will be repre-
scented in all the open events. Every
school. college and club Of any promin-
the exception of Georgetown. has entered
its full strength In the events to be run
off under the auspices of the local uni
suit will give a close line on the COM
parative strength Of the different teams
Among the colleges in this section
Johns Hopkins, Washington and Lee.
Maryland Agricultural College, George
Washington, University of Maryland,
and University Of Virginia will contest
for the supremacy, while Swarthmore
and Carlisle Of the Pennsylvania section
will also be well represented. Besides
being represented in the individual events
each of the above institutions will have a
relay team in competition with the ex-
ception Of Johns Hopkins.
Perhaps there has never been more
representative collection Of the prep
schools in this section than that which
will take part in the scholastic events.
Woodbury. Forrest, Baltimore City Col
lege, Tome Institute. Episcopal High
School. Cathedral School, Army and
five local high schools will vie with one
another for scholastic honors.
Practically all the independent organi-
zations which support athletics will be
ual entries. Several Of such bodies from
Baltimore have entered teams. while
Richmond will also send up one relay
four. Two club races will be in the
nature of International contests. The
fremont Club will meet the Richmond
Light Infantry at mile. while the
Washington Cross-country Club will run
against the Baltimore Cross-country Club
IN a two-mile event.
After tomorrow night there ought not
to be much doubt in regard to the
strength of the different teams In this
part Of the country.
The Georgetown team left today for
Boston. where 1t will meet the Holy
Cross four tomorrow night In dual
race in the Boston A. A. games. It Is
generally thought that the Hilltoppers
have about an even chance to win.
That Virginia Is going to make a
great effort to capture the collegiate
point trophy is certain from the num-
Der of entries which it has made. Pop"
Lanigan has developed several new
men this year, who give much promise,
and it is generally believed that the
