ment Stauon)
To produce healthy litters 1t is not
only necessary that the sows be fed
correctly upon the 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, sor
her own maintenance; second, for
growth on her own body and, third.
for the nourishment of the fetal pigs.
Corn lacks muscle and bone formers,
and. in addition. is too concentrated
mot bulky enough for breeding
swine). Tankage. meat meal, llnseed
oil meal, skim milk, buttermi1k, bran.
oats. middlings. shorts. soy beans.
clover and alfalfa are the logical sup
plements to corn in the middle west
At the Iowa station the most ex-
cellent rations for gifts carrying lit
ters are:
1. Corn. IS to 80 per cent; meat
meal or tankage containing 60 per
cent. protein. 10 to IL per cent.
2. Corn, rs per cent; finely cut
clover or alfalfa. % per cent.
8. Corn. so per cent; oats, chopped
clover or alfalfa. 10 per cent; meat
meal or tapkage. 10 per cent.
For old sows the proportion of meat
meal or tankage can be cut down
practically one-third to two-fifths
and still get excellent results.
Stronger, healthier Iitters, 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.
Above all things, excepting the food
supply only. an abundance of exercise
is the most important All classes II
pregnant animals do well only when
an abundant opportunity for exercise
is allowed. The general tone and
vigor of the mother is reflected in the
offspring; the better the general
health and condition of the dam. the
stronger and more vigorous the
young.
Range of pasture is perhaps the
best of all. Allow the sows to follow
cattle for while. but be sure to re-
move them when they tend to become
clumsy and heavy. Scatter the feed
over the ground, such as sheaf oats.

CURED OF SCALP TROUBLE

Stratford, Cal.-"My daughters
scalp trouble began as pimples and

scalp itched and she had dandrun.
Her hair came out in punches. falling

dollar. A kind of scab would form in
little white crusts on tie spots. These
spots would be sore. Knowing the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
were good for the skin and scalp. we
washed her scalp each morning with
Cuticura Soap and then applied the
Cuticura Ointment, rubbing It In well
with the hand. It helped from the

FARM LIFE BEST
FOR FAMILY MAN
Cost of Living in City Is So Much
Higher That Ordinary Man
Saves Little.
tsy J. c. CUMMINGS,

To the Editor: 1 am glad to note
the considerable interest being taken
in small farms by those who have
been bent on living in the city.
am glad to state that I feel there
is much more enjoyment and happi-
ness on the small farm than there Is
in city life, and this l know through
personal experience.
am carpenter by trade, learning
the trade while living on farm nfter
a year or two. thought could make
more money In the city. as wages were
better. SO l went to the city to work.
getting wages ranging from 25 to so
cents per hour.
l did not stop to figure the cost of
living in the city, but / found that 1t
was SO much higher than in the coun-
try that at the end of each month I
was where ! started.
Finally in despair decided to move
back to the country on a small farm.
We got some chickens, a COW and a
hog, and soon found our living came
much easier and l also find have all
the work can do at my trade.
While wages are less per day than
in the city, we get our board in con-
nection. which lessons the expense.
Farm life is more healthful and pleas
ant than city life
What. for instance. is more enjoy
able than to go out and see a nice
flock of chickens and at the end of a
day gather fewSozen eggs: at night
and morning milk a good COW and
have your own good sweet butter and
pure milk for use. and then at the end
of the summer put your winter supply
of produce in the cellar?
This is all possible on the small
farm, and am certain that IL many of
our city brothers knew the advan-
,tages of the small farm. they would
not only cry back to the farm" but
lthey would go.
