young sows, particularly those bred
at an immature age. there is consid-

the pigs but to the SOW herself.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the amount of bedding which should
be given to the SOW at this time. An
active SOW in comparatively light con
dition can be trusted with liberal
amount Of bedding. but sows which
are in high condition or which are at
all clumsy, had better be given only
moderate amount of straw.

drafts. Provide the pen with
guard rail made of two by eight panks
with their edges against the sides of
the pen about ten inches above the
bed. These prevent the SOW from ly.

the danger Of injury to the pigs. The

mine Value Of Dairy Herd From
FertiiIxing Standpoint.

In experiments conducted at the
Louisiana station to determine the
amount of manure and urine produced
by the dairy herd of 20 cows In one
year. 1t was found to be 175 tons of
manure and 70 tons Of urine. The av-
erage amount of manure produced by
one COW In year was 1880 pounds, a
little less than nine tons, and the aver.
age amount Of urine produced by one
COW In year was $685. pounds, or a
little less than three and a half tons
1t takes little thought to see the value
OF a COW from the fertilizing stand
point, or to see the profit IN preventing
unnecessary waste Of manure.

story, and it attempts. with success, to
show crime detection by the aid of

each new clue.
The results are convincing. so much
care has been exercised by the direc-
tor in providing for everything. The
effect Of witnessing the picture is to
feel as if one were watching Sherlock
Holmes at work. with the privilege Of
watching the analytical processes Of
his mind.
