A FEW COMPANY DESSERTS.

When one is to entertain, a little
extra work and expense will often
transform an otherwise common dish
into creation of some distinction. AS
cookery is both an art and a science,
one has a vast field for developing in
dividuality.

chestnuts are in their prime, it seems
good to try some of the recipes in
which we use them.

The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

that never grows tiresome.
One Of the sources of rheumatism Is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food Is aban-

organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying

BROOD SOW MANAGEMENT

BY JOHN M. EvvARD, Iowa Experiment
Station.
To produce strong, healthy filters
it is not only necessary that the
sows be fed correctly upon feeds that
furnish sufficient muscle, bone and
energy making materials, but that
they be handled wisely during the
period of CESSATION.
The mother sow needs food for
three important purposes; first, for
! her own maintenance; second, for
growth Of her own body; and, third,
for the nourishment Of Tie foetal
pigs. Corn lacks muscle and bone
formers and in addition is too con-
centrated (not bulky enough for
breeding swine). Tankage, meat meal,
linseed oil meal, skim milk, butter
milk, bran, oats, middEngs, shorts,
soy beans, clover and alfalfa are the
logical supplements to corn in the
middle west.
Excellent rations for gifts carry
ing litters are:
/ l. Corn 80 to 80 per cent, meat
meal or tankage containing 60 per
cent protein, 10 or IL per cent.
2. Corn, rs per cent, finely cut
clover or alfalfa Is per cent.
8. Corn 80 per cent, oats, chopped
clover or alfalfa 10 per cent, meat
meal or tankage 10 per cert.
For old sows the proportion of
meat meal or tanRage can be cut
down practically one-third to two
fifths and still get excellent results.
Strong, healthier litters having
more hair, more color and more bone
have been the result whenever we
added suitable protein and ash sup
plement to corn. When we selected
our supplements wisely we also got
cheaper pigs. At present prices for
purchased protein and ash supple
ments, meat meal and tankage are
our cheapest sources.
An abundance of exercise is very
important. The general tone and
Mgor of the mother is reflected in the
offspring. Range on pasture is per-
haps the best of form Of exercise.
Allow the sows to follow cattle for
a while, but be sure to remove them
when they tend to become clumsy and
heavy. Scatter the feed over the
ground, such as sheaf oats, soy bean
hay, ETC., and let the sows gather it,
Shut the sows from the houses in the
middle Of the day rather than allow
them to huddle up and snooze peace.
ably. Schemes to induce exercise
cost little, yet the returns are con.
siderable.

THE RESULTS OF GOOD BREEDING
AND FEEDING.

THE RESULTS OF GOOD BREEDING
AND FEEDING.
Warmth, dryness, ventilation and
sunlight are the essentials of an ideal
hog house. Good dry bedding is
needed and to be kept dry must be
changed regularly. Arrange the
houses SO as to avoid draughts and
heavy winds. Although the hog can
stand considerable cold, yet the breed
ing hog does not have the fat which
would ordinarily keep the fat hog
warm. Sensible shelter saves many
cents.
We hog men cannot afford to feed
our hard earned corn and other
grains to lice and worms. Crude oil
Is cheap, costs not more than $500
barrel, is easily applied and does
the lice up brown and black, hence
why hesitate. An old broom, .

Female Lion Tanners.

A lion broke loose at an electrical
exhibition at Marseilles and made his
way on the stage of the theater, where
ballet was being rehearsed. The
panic among the women of the bal
let when the lion suddenly came into
view was intense. Three of the
dancers, however, were possessed of
more courage than the rest, and,
snatching off their shoes, they beat
the greatly astonished beast into sub
mission. When the lion-tamer arrived
the lion welcomed him with evident
joy and allowed himself to be led
back to his cage in the most docile
fashion. He seemed as glad to get
away from the ballet girls as they
were to get rid of him.
