The Brood Sow.

Among farmers the practice of
breeding sows at an early age is too
common. and they are soon fattened
without finding out whether they are
prolific breeders and good mothers,
and another lot Of young sows are
used for breeding purposes, and in
most cases young boars are used on
these young sows. When these things
are remembered 1t is no wonder that
the filters are so small and the pigs
so weak. Keep a sow long enough to
find out what she can do in the breed
ing pen: If she turns out to be good
one, keep her for several years; II
a poor one, get rid of her. for farm
er can no more afford to keep poor
breeding sows than a dairyman can
afford to keep poor cows. In gen.
eral the aim, should be to breed for
great prolificacy, more vigor and bet
ter motherhood.

SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Jew outwitted Russian Guard by Imi-
tation That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is a clever fellow,
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of situation of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia. but he had no passport. He
said to his friend Mendel:
You have passport; I'll get into
big bag and you shall carry me
across the border. If the frontier
guard asks you to put the bag down.
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in 1t and it will break"
Mendel was obliging. He shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in 1t and ap-
preached the boundary. The frontier
guard asked what was in the bag and
Mendel answered, Glass" Thereupon
the soldier drew his sword and ran II
through the bag. 1t might easily have
gone very hard with Steidentaft If he
had forgotten his role and cried out.
But he didn't. Instead he made a
noise like this: Killing, klang." And
so he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: When one Is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass;
