CAUSE OF uneven
GROWTH OF Pig u1TERS

The uneven growth Of Il litter Of pigs
is generally due to unsymmetrical I'D
ders in sows. writes G.. Z. Williams in
the National StOckman. In selecting a
SOW for breeding the practical require
ment should call for teats we'll placed
(oppositeD rather than for abnormal
numbers. A very symmetrical udder
of ten or twelve paps placed exactly
opposite each other in the two rows is
the kind to demand. Do not selec any
SOW having paps scattered along at
unequal intervals with smaller ones
here and there crowded in between the
normal ones.
A SOW having quarters" of all sizes
is likely to nurse an uneven litter,
some twice as large as others, and
some nearly always die. Many think
that each pig has his pap and always
nurses the same II This is not the
case. as anybody may easily see by
observing the sucking pigs. At first
the day old pigs suck all the paps. but
o o limit their attention to enough
to 60 around. fighting each other from
pap to pap.
If eight pigs happen to take eight
well developed quarters then they will
likely thrive in much the same way,

AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION.
Parts That Should Be Carefully Elk.
amined Twice a Month.

The best system in going over a car
thoroughly is to have a regular semi
monthly inspection day, says AutomO-
bile Dealer and Repairer. There are
eight main items which should be gone
owe thoroughly in this semimonthly
inspection.
First.-Test the compression of the
cylinders. Inspect the motor thorough
ly for possible compression leakage
AROUND the inlet and exhaust valves.
Second.-Go over the ignition system
thoroughly. Examine all of the wiring.
terminals and spark plugs. See that all
connections are tight and that there
are no defects in the insulation to cause
short circuits.
Third. -EXamine the water circula-
ton. being sure that there are nc leaks
about the pump and its connections.
See that the fan is operating perfectly
and that the fan belt Is tight. See. that
there are no leaks about the water con
nectiOns OF the %carburetOr.
FOurth.-Give particular attention to
the gear shifting mechanism. See that
all the gears move freely and that there
Is no possibility Of their failure to
work in an emergency.
Fifth.-LOOk to the brake adjustment.
1t is most essential to the safety Of
both car and passengers that the brakes
work well. Examine both sets Of
brakes and be sure that they pull equal
ly. You want to keep the brakes sutii-
GENTLY tight to stop the car readily.
but you also want TO be sure that they
do not drag. Dragging brakes reduce
the pulling power OF the motor. caus-
ing squeaks and Of course wearing out
the brake lining rapidly. :.
simultaneously inspect all Of the
steering connections for loose nuts and
bolts. DO not take any chances with
the steering gear.
Seventh.-Tighten up all spring clips
and be sure that the spring bolts and
hangers are not loose. Examine the
rea spring perches and make sure that
they are free to move on the axle hous.

Eighth.-GO over the body and chassis
and thoroughly tighten all bolts.

Corn SiIaqe For Steers.

Tests made by the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station showed that steers
made good gains while receiving corn
silage as the sole roughage ration. Oil
meal. dried distilled grains and cotton
seed meal are valuable feeds to mix
with corn silage for the economical
production of u pound Of gain. The re-
suits showed that their relative value
ranks in the order mentioned. The
largest gains and the most uniform
gains were made by steers that receiv-
ed oilmeal and cor silage. The aver
age daily gain compares favOrably
with the gains made by steers Of Il
similar age receiving Il full feed Of corn
and oilmeal. However. the latter was
a much more expensive ration.
