A SOW with several little pigs can be
conveniently and profitably main
tanned by the average suburban house
holder. The SOW and her brood can
not only be kept by the surplus waste
from the kitchen, but the pigs in No
vember or December will prove good
source of supply for fresh meat; then,
too, some of the pigs may be sold at
a profit
The feeding and care of the pigs is
as important as the breeding in pro-
ducing a good hog. Plenty of feed
and good care may make a good hog
out of runt, but the lack of it will
always make runt out of good pig.
Young pigs must have dry bed and
plenty of sunshine. Begin feeding
them as soon as they will eat and
keep them we'll fed until they are ma
ture. Always keep plenty of clean,
fresh water where the pigs may drink
at any time. The more milk a SOW
will give the faster her pigs will grow
Hog lots should be built where the
sun will shine in some portion of them
at all hours of the days. Sunshine is
one OF the greatest factors for de-
stroying germs and keeping down dis
eases. A supply Of clean, fresh wa
ter at all times is essential The
trough should always be kept clean
and not so much feed given at one
time that 1t would be left in the
The citizen., 1914-05-22

troughs should be frequently washed
and placed where the sun will shine in
them. This is especially true of those
used for feeding small pigs. Clean,
dry straw should be placed in every
house for bedding, as it is essential
that the sow have a warm, dry bed
when she farrows. Many young pigs
are lost each year from cold and ex-
posure at farrowing time. The young
pigs must be kept warm, dry and
should have plenty of sunshine until
they are several weeks old.
A good shelter for little pigs during
the summer months may be made by
setting four poles into the ground and
securely mailing two by six inch ma
terial around these about three feet
from the ground, and upon these few
light poles may be put crosswise and
straw or coarse hay piled on top.
If the pigs show indications of
securing keep a mixture of charcoal
tone busheD, hardwood ashes Zone
busheD, salt (eight pounds, air
slaked lime (eight pounds. sulphur
flour pounds) and pulverized copperas
1.-TWO pounds) where the hogs can eat
1t at will. This is not only a good
remedy for scours, but is one of the
best preventives for worms.
1t Is also we'll to remember that
pork is more in demand than either
beef, or mutton, and the danger Of
overstocking the market is remote.

Better Soldier Than Statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty.
fifth anniversary of his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title of duke in recognition of his
success in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house of commons voted $4,000.
900 for the support of his new dignity.
Within a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the duke
of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as soldier we're not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career of the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

THINKS CHANGE IMMINENT
So Strongly Entrenched Are Both Ar.
mics They Seem ImpregnabIe.

Berlin.-All the Signs indicate that
a change is impending in the pro-
tracted struggle in northern France,
wnere. for weeks. the hostile armies
have faced each other in such strongly
entrenched positions that neither has
been able to advance except at enor-
nous cost. The principal effect OF
the mutual thanking operations has
been to extend the battle lines without
either side finding a weak spot.
The German army. which besieged
Antwerp, is now free and the invading
forces have been strengthened other
wise for an assault against some point
in the extended battle front. Rigid
secrecy is preserved as to the point
chosen for this offensive movement.
The bulletins given out by the Ger
man headquarters throw no light on
the nature OF the stroke which un-
mistakably is impending. America is
perhaps better informed concerning
this than is Germany. The latest
bulletin is the stereotyped report:
The situation is unchanged"
