BOAR NEEDS GOOD ATTENTION
Pasture Not Only Saves Feed But VIII
Also Prove Excellent Conditioner
Don't Overfeed.

The boar needs pasture as we'll as
do the other hogs or the other stock.
Pasture will not only save feed but
will also be a good conditioner. IL
you keep a boar in a small pen, 1t Is
always muddy or dusty and then II he
is poorly fed in this pen he cannot do
his best, and the pigs will be disap-
pointment. On the other hand. the
boar can be fed too much, but the
trouble is usually that he doesn't get
enough.
1t is often thought that the boar Is
simply bill of expense and that he
does not need much feed. Such being
the case, he is fed little just because
he must be kept alive, but this feed
is the scantiest amount that can be
given and the .handiest feed-nearly
always just few ears of corn. He
needs something stronger than ear
corn. 1t may cost little more, but
will prove money well spent. The
feed should be rich in proteids. which
would call for shorts. tankage, oil
meal. cowpeas, clover, alfalfa and such
feeds, according to Roy Coleman in
the Farmers Review. When fed on
such a ration he can produce larger
litters and stronger pigs than when
poorly fed
The young boar should not be fed
too heavily If he is overfed it will
make him so down in the feet. 1t will
also cause him TO wrinkle more when
he becomes old. It is hard to grow
a prize pig into a prize boar. But If
he has not been overdone as a pig he
can be made to develop into good
sound boar

PREPARE STOCK FOR MARKET
Experience Has Shown That There ls
More Growth the First Year Than
Second-keep Pushing.

In preparing stock for the market,
too much stress cannot be laid upon
rapid development of the animal. Ex-
perience has shown that in proportion
to the food consumed by young ami
mails, there is more growth the first
year than the second, and more the
second year than the third, and with
each increasing year the increase In
weight gets smaller in proportion to
the amount of food consumed, conse-
quently it is very essential that all
young animals be kept thrifty and
growing; especially is this true with
all animals intended for market. This
is seen In the production of baby beef,
which is one of the most profitable
growth, and an early maturity, returns
the best profit among cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry. The intelligent
farmer. in preparing his stock for
market, should always bear In mind
the Importance OF pushing his stock
from the time they are born until
placed on the market. Every day
should'see a gain in weight along the
lines of profit. yet at the same time
this crowding should not be overdone
There is danger of injuring animals by
overlooking, especially when young. If,
however, the feed rations are properly
made. looking toward just enough and
not too little, or to much. good results
may be expected in the end

CAUTION AT FARROWING TIME
Animal Should Be Carefully Watched
and Fed on Slop Ration-Supply
Fresh, Dry, Clean Bedding.

A few days before farrowing the
SOW should be placed In a clean. roomy
pen in the central hog house or in a
special portable house.
When the udder of the SOW becomes
distended and milk can be drawn from
the teats she may be expected to far
row in "a hours. She should then be
closely watched and fed slop ra-
tion rather than a dry feed, to keep
her bowels open. She should have a
medium supply of fresh, dry, clean.
dustless bedding. Barley straw or
wood shavings should be avoided.
Little pigs are very sensitive to cold
and If they arrive during cold weather
they must be given special attention.
II litter Is farrowed In a small port
able house the air may be consider
ably warmed by hanging a lantern
from the ceiling, and doors will add
greatly to the comfort Of the animals.
In a large hog house 1t is best prac-
tice to put the little pigs as soon as
farrowed into tight wooden box with
clean straw and cover the box with
blanket The pigs will nestle together
and keep themselves warm. Should
the weather be extremely cold hot
bricks may be put in the bottom of
the box and covered with an old blan-
ket with dry straw on top for the pigs
to rest In. Little pigs should be kept
in the box for % hours longer. taking
them out for a short time every two
hours TO nurse.
A SOW should be kept quiet and fed
little, If at ALL during the first "a hours
after farrowing. She may be given a
drink of water. followed by light
bran mash. The feed is then gradu-
ally increased up to the tenth day.
when a full ration may be fed. BY
thus being careful milk fever in the
SOW and scours in the pigs are pre-
vented.

WORKING FOR BETTER ROADS
tion Makes Some Valuable Sug-
sestons for Improvement.

Good roads and good schoolhouses
are the two big factors in the growth
and betterment of all the grain-belt
states. This was the underlying idea
in the address delivered before the
Iowa State Teachers convention by
the state superintendent of public in
struction, Mr.. A. NJ Deyoe. That
Iowa, as well as all the typically ag-
ricultural states of the nation, must
become educated away from the old
style of road and the old style of one
room schoolhouse before it can at
tain to the full measure of its great
ness, is quite generally conceded Su-
perintendent Deyoe made some valu-
able suggestions as to how the money
expended for good roads might be
spent to better advantage, saying:
Good schools and good roads are
the two most important needs in rural
communities. Both may be secured
with but little greater expense than
the most Of maintaining the present
prevailing system of rural schools and
the Indifferent methods used in road
is not wholly dependent upon the
making Of permanent roads. The
transportation of pupils to schools is
being managed quite satisfactorily in
Iowa and other states where perma-
nent roads have not yet been estab-
lished. However, as matter OF con-
venience, in many ways, good roads
tNla ,-f Ia,
life development that our state should
no longer delay by legislative action
to adopt some systematic plan of per-
manent road construction. Approx
mately $3,479,3S2 was paid in cash as
road tax in Iowa for the year 1911.
This amount does not include the
amount of tax expended in work. The
automobile tax for the year closing
June 80, 1912, was S505 600, which will
increase from year to year at the pres
ent rate. 1t is safe TO estimate the
total amount available road tax in cash
as $4,000000, which should build at
least 1000 miles of permanent roads.
Ten years Of permanent road construc-
ton would give 10000 miles of good
roads, whereas, if the present method
of road building continues. our roads
will practically be no better at the end
of the ten-year period than they
are today. This estimate takes no con-
sideration OF the tax annually worked,
which would be available for use in
necessary general repair Of roads. Bet
ter social and Industrial conditions will
follow the establishment of good roads
and good schools.
The good roads problem will un-
doubtedly come in for greater discus
sion in the grain belt states this win
ter than ever before. The teachers
are wonderful factor for good in any
state. If they can be inspired to take
up the cudgel for better highways
much good must inevitably result,
says the Iowa Homestead. Farm
home improvement, rural church bet
terment and country school advance
ment are splendid things, devoutly to
be sought, but they fail of their high
est purpose and object if they do not
bring coincidentally with them the
permanent roadways on which real
rural and urban prosperity actually de-
pend.

GET ROADS INTO CONDITION
Where Rough Spots Have Formed
King Road Drag May Be Used to
Advantage During Midday
Thaws.

There's a bad condition of country
roads along in the fall due to late
rains and hard freezes. They become
so rough that 1t makes the horses
feet sore to travel over them, shakes
the wagon nearly to pieces and makes
riding anything but pleasant
This condition can be helped a great
road drag If the roads had been kept
in proper shape all summer and fol-
lowing the fall rains they would have
shed water and not become muddy, to
freeze rough. But after 1t has hap
pened the next best thing is to use
the drag on them during the midday
thaw Then the hummocks will be
planed down and the ruts filled TO
freeze more smooth during the night.
OF course, it will take constant watch
ing and care for a few days in the
fall to put the roads in proper condi-
ton for freeze but it will pay to do
so. The farmers do much hauling in
winter and for the sake of the horses,
the driver and the wagon, and for the
sake Of having fine sleighing when the
snnw comes, it pays to have the roads
in good condition.
II no one has King drag then get
out the spike tooth harrow and
smooth the roads.
1t will be a good thing in some
places to thin out the groves and
hedges along the roads. These catch
the snow and cause bad drifts all win
ter. These drifts cause very bad mud
holes in the spring Use the ak where
necessary.

TREATMENT FOR LUMPY Jaw
Removal of Growth While in Tissues
by Use Of Knife ls Considered
Satisfactory Method.

The most satisfactory way Of treat
ing lumpy jaw is to remove the
growth with knife when In the
tissues only. The animal is thrown;
the skin is cut over the tumor, and
the swelling removed by cutting
around it in the healthy tissues. II
hemorrhage Is large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps:
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red-hot iron.
The wound should be washed with
an antiseptic in one per cent. soln.
ton after the tumor is removed. and
then packed with antiseptic gauze or
cotton, and the wound stitched up.
The next day remove the stitches
and treat as an open wound.

Examine Pius' Teeth.

II the SOW is observed to Jump up
frequently while sucking her pigs or
to lie on her belly to prevent them
from sucking. better examine the
pigs teeth. You may find them so
sharp as to wound the sow's teats
as to cause her great pain and annoy
ance. The needle-like points OF the
pigs teeth may be pinched OF with
pair of pinchers.

LOOKING AFTER YOUNG SOWS
Best Plan Is to Have Them Farrow AZ
ter Grass and Glover Start to
Secure Good Pasturage.

In nearly all cases the first litter is
the hardest draft on the system Of the
dam and for this reason, II no other,
the young sows should have special
care. II is best, so far as can be done
to have the young sows farrow after
grass and clover have made a good
start, as there are few things better,
than plenty of good pasturage. to en-
able dam to produce milk, and a
young SOW If she is to suckle her lit
ter of pigs well, must have food well
adapted to milk production. A SOW
should always be SO gentle that in
case 1t becomes necessary, she can be
handled without unduly exciting her.
1t is never good policy to disturb a
necessary. AS a precaution against
her eating her pigs, she should have a
light opening ration for few days be-
fore farrowing and then a bucket Of
warm slop ready for her whenever she
gets up. Be careful about over-feed-
ing her for the first three or four days
and then gradually increase her ra-
tons until she is given all that she
will readily eat up clean. After the
pigs are a week old. she may be al
lowed the run of pasture, feeding
slop regularly at least two times day
and three times Is still better. Be
careful to feed regularly. Slop stuff,
milk or wheat bran, oil meal and milk,
are hard to beat and are all good
foods for breeding sows
