COMMUNITY C|WCS
WHAT L MEANS AND
ITS ADAPTAB|L|TY
PEOPLE GENERALLY CAN BE
MADE TO SEE LOCAL INTER
ESTS-NOT NATIONAL

A broadened and simplified concep-
tion of the meaning of citizenship
largely controls the new" civics. 1t
is the conception implied when one
says that "A. is a good citizen" which
ordinarily means that A. is a service
able member of the community in
which ne lives Training for citizen
ship would mean, then, training for
efficient membership in the com
munity. The type Of civic training
developing from this idea is frequent
~ called community civics.
The aim of community civics is to
help the child to know his COM
muuity"-not merely a lot Of facts
about his community, but the mean
ing of his community life, what it does
for him and how il does il, what the
community has a right 10 expect from
him and how he may fulfll his obliga-
tion; meanwhile cultivating in him
the essential qualities and habits of
good citizenship.
Community civics by no means
minmizes the importance of govern
ment. 1t describes and emphasizes
government at every step as the chief
means by which the citizens OF a
community cooperate. 1t seeks to
give a perspective to government that
the older civil government did not
give, 1t approaches the mechanism
of government through its relations TO
the immediate interests Of the citizen.

TREAT HOGS FOR PARALYSIS
Unbalanced Ration, InbreedIns and
Parasites Have Each In Turn Been
Assigned as Cause.

By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural CollegeJ
Partial or complete paralysis Of the
hind legs of hogs is seen so often in
swine herds that common cause has
been suspected but not definitely de-
termined
Inbreeding, parasites and an un
balanced ration, have each in turn
been assigned as the probable cause
of this particular form of paralysis,
and now It is quite generally attributed
to lack Of phosphate of lime. This
salt in form that can be appropriated
may be deficient in the ration or not
properly appropriated by the tissues
of the body, or again, IT may be be-
cause Of drain on the system for
phosphates to nourish the growing
fetus or the young afterbirth.
1t is a well-known fact that there is
a deficiency of phosphate of lime in
the bones and other tissue of pregnant
animals and in those that are sucking
their young. This is especially true of
the SOW. But this condition is not

GOOD HINTS ABOUT FENCING
OF Importance to Note Shape of Fields
Because II Has Much TO Do With
Material Needed.

When building fences note the
shape of the fields, because 1t has
much to do with the amount of fencing
and material required to inclose OF re-
construct it.
Thus: A square ten-acre field is 40
rods each way, and will therefore need
half a mile of fencing.
A ten.acre field four times as long
as wide is S0x20 rods, and will conse-
Quently require 200 rods of fence. or
40 rods more than before; so that a
square field needs less fencing than an
oblong one of the same size. This is
a point not often thought Of by good
many.
