Whether to pillow during the fall and
winter or to wait until spring for this
most important of the cultural opera
tons is a problem which frequently
confronts the farmer, and one in the
answer of which we can lay down no
hard and fast rules, for the problem
Is a different one in each individual
case.
A few very stiff soils, if plowed in
the fall, run together so tightly that
they must be replowed the following
spring. And on such soils the prac-
tice is, of course, not, as rule, to be
recommended.
When we pillow the land in the fall
we can not, of course, have cover
crop on it during the winter months,
and-especially on the lighter soils
some plant food will be lost. But on
land that does not wash badly this I'M
desirable feature is generally more
than Offset by the good which will re
suit from blowing at this time. In The
first place, many Of the injurious in
sect larvae, such as the cut worms,
are turned out by the late fall pillow
ing and are killed by the winter
freezes. Then, too, any organic mat
ter which is turned under is decayed
more quickly, and thus more plant
food is made available for the follow.
ing crop. The rough, plowed surface
holds the rains and melting SHOWS of
winter so that more of the water soaks
into the soil and is thus saved for the
crop of the following summer. A soil
mulch can be secured on the land
earlier in the spring to prevent I'M
necessary evaporation of the water
thus saved.
One Of the most important results
! OF fall and winter blowing is the ex-
! posing of the turned soil to the dis
migrating effect of winter freezing
and thawing, for these agencies break
up the clods end pulverize the soil
more thoroughly than man can posi-
| bly, do with the harrow.
But the one advantage which will
always appeal most strongly to the

PeIIagra.

Until a few years ago pellagra was un-
known in this country. The disease was
common in certain parts of Italy, but II
was not widely studied by the medical
profession even in the country where II
prevailed.
Anew years ago peculiar disease ap-
peared among the insane in certain public
institutions in the South the symptoms
were those OF the Italian pellagfa- In
vestigation proved that it was indeed
pellapra. Since that day the disease mas
been found in many other parts OF the
country if is known TO prevail more or
less extensively in most OF the Southern
States. and occasionally if appears IN Inc
North as well. Recently cases have been
discovered in Great Britain.
Pelagra begins as an annoying SKIN
eruption that appears in the spring. ana
subsidies at the approach of cold weather,
hut if recurs again the next year. Later,
there is evidence that the nervous system
is affected, and in many cases insanity
follows.
1t was long thought that pellagra was
caused by the eating OF spoiled corn
meal made from diseased grain. More
recent investigations lead physicians to
believe that il is an infectious disease,
caused by some microbe not yet recos-
nized. 1t is probable that this mlcrooe
is a single celled blood parasite, proto-
zoan, with two life cycles-one OF when
if passes in the body of man, the other IN
that of the buffalo gnat, an insect OF the
genus simulium.
According to this theory, the disease Is
of the same type as malaria, which is
caused by a blood parasite that passes
one phase OF its existence in man, the
other in the body of mosquito. This
does not mean that pellagra is directly
contagious, for malaria is not contagious;
there is no more danger in visiting SUI
ferer from one disease, than from the
other. If this interesting theory proves
TO be true, those who wish to escape the
disease must avoid the string OF the but
taio-gnat; and sanitary boards in the
South must aim at the determination OF
the insect.

orous animal a sufficient supply OF
meat and material of that nature TO
supply its needs.
During the winter, while the SOW Is
carrying her litter, she should be Kept
in good condition, but not too fat II
is very important that she should nave
plenty of exercise, for it is just as
essential for a brood SOW TO take eXer'
else as it is for a brood mare or any
other class of live stock that we nave
on our farms. Exercise will put the
SOW in better condition for narrowing
her litter, and the litter will be much
stronger. When sows are fed on a
strictly corn or carbonaceous ration
they are very likely to eat their pigs,
as the system has not been provided
with a sufficient supply of protein and
phosphates and this demand VIII De
satisfied by eating the pigs.
A SOW should not only be we'll fed
during the winter months when she
Is carving her litter, but she must be
properly sheltered BY proper shelter
we do not necessarily mean that the
housing be expensive. The small indi-
vidual cot is a very good and efficient
method of housing the sows during the
winter. The cots should be situated
so that the sows will get out and move
around enough to keep them healthy
and vigorous. The most important fea'
ture to be looked after in regard to
shelter is that the cots, sheds, or barns
are free from drafts. 1t is not the
cold but drafts, that hurt the mature
animals.
Another important consideration is
the question of providing the brood
SOW with plenty of fresh water during
the winter months. She should not be
given water that is ice cold, as this
will often bring on severe chill. 1t
has been proved in various expert
ments that the best results are OBJ
tanned when sufficient water is mixed
with their feed to supply the demands
of the body.
II We give feed that is relatively
rich in protein and containing suffi'
cient phosphates and make provisions
for plenty of exercise, fresh water and
proper shelter, we should be able to
make the swine industry much more
profitable.

The total number of hogs raised N

In order to get the best returns from
these sows We must begin to give them
the proper care before they are bred,
that is. by feeding them in such
manner that they will be gaining IN

In order that fruit growers in West Viz
GINA, Virginia and Maryland and the
dealers at the principal eastern markets
may be brought into direct touch with one
another for mutual advantage in securing
top prices and supplying the demand OF
the trade, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has issued a booklet containing a list OF
the orchardmen and commission mer-
chants in the localities mentioned. The
Isis, which embody valuable information
to both the producers and handlers OF
fruit, is being distributed free through the
railroad company's agencies or upon
written application to all interested in the
fruit business. The booklet was COM
piled by the freight traffic department OF
the Baltimore and Ohio and is complete
in every detail. A separate section oil
the booklet is devoted to each OF the
three fruit-growing States, with the
shipping points classified in alphabetical
order, giving the names OF the growers
with their post office addresses and kinds
OF fruit grown. Following that is list
of apple and peach shippers, brokers and
wholesale dealers in the markets OF New

Beauty but Health
And the Basis of Her Health
and Vigor Lies in the
Careful Regulation
of the Ronels.

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture Of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis CT
health and the cause OF sickness
can be traced TO the action of the
bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes
are usually due to constipation. SO
many things that women do habit
ually conduce to this trouble. They
do not eat carefully, they eat indi-
gestible foods because the foods are
served daintily and they do not eX-
arcise enough. But whatever the
particular cause may be, it is impor-
tant that the condition should be
corrected
An ideal remedy for women and
one especially suited to their deli
cate requirements, is DIR. Caldwell9

women indorse highly. among them
