KEEP THE GOOD BROOD sows
Should Not Be Put Into Fattening Pen
and Sent to Market and Re-
placed With Untried Gilt.

1t is strange that the farmer will
keep the good brood mare from year
to year and at the same time put his
good brood SOW into the fattening
pen and send her of to market as
soon as she is fat enough to go. Thus
the good brood SOW is often sacrificed
while the gilt untried as brood
SOW, takes her place. This is mis-
take. When a SOW proves good
sucker and careful mother she should
be retained, especially If she is pro-
life.
With such a SOW the farmer is rea.
sonably assured of strong, healthy
litter of pigs that will grow into
profitable hogs. The gilt may prove
poor sucker, overlap her brood, while
four or five is often the number of
her brood So with the young gilt for
brood SOW the pig proposition on the
farm is very uncertain one.
If a sow proves to be good breed.
er from the start, she should be re-
tanned, for it is reasonable to expect
that she will get better each year.
And it is fact that older sows bring
healthier, stronger pigs, and a greater
number of them with less danger Of
trouble of any kind at narrowing time.

mooned aimlessly about the garden

to his long holiday, to a life of leis-

offer nothing.
Once, five years before, they had
discussed adopting child. But Seth
had never returned to the subject.
The look upon his wife's face har-

child could ever take the place of
their little boy whose photograph was
the only picture in the neat little par

It is rather curious about those

people by the Spanish for the reason
that, like the real Moors of North
Africa, they are Mohammedans. To
the mind of the Spanish settlers in
the Philippines, any people who were
also warlike were necessarily Moors.
AS a matter Of fact, these Moros
