LOOKING AFTER YOUNG S0WS
Best Plan Is to Have Them Farrow At.
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, If no other,
the young sows should have special
care. 1t 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 a dam to produce milk, and
young SOW if she is TO suckle her lit
ter of pigs we'll, must have food well
adapted to milk production. A SOW
should always be so gentle that III
case it becomes necessary, she can be
handled without unduly exciting her.
It is never good policy to disturb
SOW at narrowing, unless absolutely
necessary. AS precaution against
her eating her pigs, she should have
light opening ration for few days be-
fore narrowing 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'
lions 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 a pasture, feeding
slop regularly at least two times day
and three times is still better. Be
careful to feed regularly. Stop stuff,
milk or wheat bran, oil meal and milk,
are hard to beat and are all good
foods for breeding sows.

Sodium carbonate (sal soda), "a
lbs; white arsenic, lbs; pine tar,
l gallon; water, 500 gallons.
Mix the soda and arsenic within
a kettle containing 80 gallons OF wa
ter; boil it 80 minutes; let this solu-
ton cool to 40 degrees, then slowly
add the pine tar.
Other Methods OF Eraofcatioh.
In undertaking measures for eradi-
eating the tick 1t Is evident that the
pest may be attacked in two loca-
tons, namely, on the pasture and on
the cattle.
In freeing pactures the method fol-
lowed may be either direct or an
indirect one. The former consists in
excluding all cattle, horses and mules
from pastures until all the ticks have
died from starvation. The latter con-
sists in permitting the cattle and
other animals to- continue on the in
tested pasture and dipping them at
regular intervals in the arsenical 80
luton and thus preventing engorged
females from dropping and reinfest-
ing the pasture.

WHY POULTRY IS VALUABLE
Canadian Expert Gives Eight Reasons
in Reply to This Pertinent Cues
tion--Good Anywhere.

Why is poultry valuable to the
farmer? is a question asked by hun
dreds of tillcrs of the soil who usu-
ally keep but a few chickens, and
these q mixture of ali breeds. Profess
sor Gilbert Of Ottawa, Canada, gives
the following reasons il answer to
this pertinent question:
l. Because ne ought. by their means
to convert great deal OF the
waste Of his farm into money in
the shape of eggs and chickens for

2. Because, with intelligent man.
agement they ought to be all-year rev.

possibly two months during the
moulting season.
s. Because the poultry will yield
him quicker return for the capital
invested than any Of the other de-
partments OF agriculture.

SOLDIERS BAPTISM or FIRE.
Average Mans Most, Terrifying Pc
g. sItIon on Field Of Battle 10
- When Still: N ~,

Everyone Of US must have wondered
how he would feel in battle for the
l11st time. We may get some idea Of
cumstances from study of the psy-
chology Of battle, Just published in
Italy, says London Tit-Bits., Lieuten.
ant Colonel Mangiarotti of the Seven
ty-seventh infantry carefully examined
more than. two thousand soldiers who
first faced fire in the recent war be-
tween Italy and Turkey, and he sum
marizes their statements in the RI
vista Militare. He questioned them
one by one.
Out Of 1000 men LOO confessed
that their most trying moment in the
whole campaign was when they first
heard hostile bullets whistle about
their ears. But almost all of them said
they were much less frightened than
they had expected to be, and that the
scare diminished with each battle.
The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that of stand
ing motionless in the front rank, ex-
posed to the enemy's fire without be-
Ing able to reply. The order to ad-
vance or to charge with fixed bayonets
is then received as a release from
agony. Movement, even into greater
peril, distracts the mind and greatly
reduces the mental anguish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors. An
officer who shakes in his shoes Is a
coward in the eyes Of the rank and
file, although the men know that many
military heroes-Henri w, Turenne
and Frederick the Great, for instance
-trembled on going into fight:
Colonel Mangiarotti says that on
GERS must understand this feeling. This
is especially true of lieutenants, for
this inquiry reveals the fact that in
battle all officers from captains up
ward are nonexistent so far as the
keep their eyes on their lieutenants
exclusively. This was brought out
when Colonel Mangiarotti asked the
men what sentiment animated them
when the bullets were falling all
around then-was it love of country,
religion or their oath Of fidelity to
their king? II went ahead" they re-
piled, almost unanimously, because
my lieutenant went ahead"

the first feeling Of terror has vanished

Literature Of Poverty.

III this age OF print, the literature OF
poverty has swollenlto an enormous
bulk. Statistical books, explicit and
contradictory. Hopeful books by So
cial workers who see salvation in
girls clubs and refined dancing. Hope
less books. by other social workers
who believe-or, at least, who say
that the employed are enslaved by the
employer, and that women and chill
dren are the prey of men. Highly COL
ored books by adventurous young jour
nalists who have masqueraded (for
copy's sake) as mill and factory hands.
Gray books by casual observers who
are paralyzed by the mere sight of a
slum. Furious books by rabid social
lists who hold that the poor will never
be uplifted while there is left in the
world a man rich enough to pay them
wages. Imaginative books by poets
and novelists who deal in realism to
the exclusion of reality. All this pro-
fusion of matter is thrust upon VI
month after month, while the work
ing-man reads his newspaper. and the
working-girl reads "A Coronet of
