SOWS NEED GOOD ATTENTION
Neglect at Farrowlng Time Will Eat
Up All Profits Made in Year
Feed ls Important Problem.
(By H. M. coTTRELL.)

Give the SOW all the water she
wants for the first "a hours after the
pigs are born, but no grain. Take the
chill off the water in cold weather.
For three or four days after the first
"a hours, give plenty of water, but
feed grain and milk sparingly. Then
slowly increase until, when the pigs
are three weeks old, the SOW is having
all the feed she will consume. Give
the pigs exercise and sunshine from
birth, but do not allow them to get
damp nor to be exposed to the wind.
When the SOW is given warm, rich
slop, or other milk-producing feeds
just after her pigs are born, a strong
milk flow is forced. The newborn
pigs get too much and have diarrhea
which often kills them. They cannot
take all the milk, and the sow's udder
becomes inhamed and caked. When
the pigs suckle the pain becomes SO
intense that in desperation she jumps
up, kills and eats them.
The profits for a whole year can be
thrown away in few hours by little
neglect at farrowing time. An inves.
tigation in one Of the chief hog-pro-
ducing sections showed that the farm

IMPROVING THE DAIRY STOCK
Ten Commandments Laid Down by
University Of Wisconsin Expert
Discard Improbable Animals.

Professor Humphrey of the Uni
Versity Of Wisconsin gives the fol
lowing ten commandments for better
dairy stock:
l. Treat cows gently and avoid ex
citement.
\ 2. Be regular in time Of milking.
3. Keep stables clean, well-lighted
and ventilated.
4. Weigh the milk Of each COW at
milking time.
5. Get your neighbor to share with
you in owning Babcock milk tester,
and test the product of each COW.
6. Discard the animals which have
failed at the end of the year to pay
for their keep.
q. Breed your COWS to a purebred,
registered dairy bull from a family
having large and profitable produc.
tion of butterfat.
8. Raise well the heifer calves from
COWS, which for one or more genera
tions have made large and profitable
production of milk and butterfat.
8. Breed heifers to drop their first
calves at twenty-four to thirty months
of age. Give COWS six to eight weeks
rest between lactation periods.
10. soin a dairy cattle breeders as
sociation. 1t will help you keep post
ed and in touch with the best and
most modern ways of managing your
dairy herd.

Eskimo Fugitive Decides His

Detroit. ZerbeIen, a full.
blooded Eskimo Of 154 Holburn ave-
nue., did not get any sleep that night
three months ago when he fled from
Pixies Peak lake in Greenland and he
has not enjoyed nights good rest
since.
Zerbelen's rather distraught condi-
tion is in measure explained by the
fact that it is not officially considered
good form to leave some parts Of
Greenland without saying anything to
the king about the intended departure.
Zerbelen, who is twenty-eight years
old, lives with his uncle, Jacob ia.

There are innumerable elements

country; even such commonplace

His Own Rake-off.
But what are fear of kings, sleepless
nights, a craving stomach and gener-
ally upset mind to man still in his
twenties who has $4,000 in the bank? p?
That's Arthur Zerbelen, who is now
employed in an automobile plant. 1t
was this that made up the burden of
a knapsack" that he Shifted" the
night he started his flight from Green
land. During his years of service he
had held out" that amount on the
Eskimo king.
When Zerbelen finally Joined his
uncle in Detroit, after hard journey,
he applied at once for work in the
automobile plant. He was put to
work, and although he never had seen
machinery or any implements other
than those made from the bones OF
animals, he has shown the aptness

A slow moving colt can be taught
to walk fast by hitching it beside q

although it requires good handling to
obtain full success with this method.
The best results are secured with

such light work that they can move
along rapidly without feeling 1t, let
ting them have only enough Of 1t so
that they will get into the habit Of
moving rapidly and keep up the trait
after they are older.

SHEEP DURING WARM SEASON
Particular Attention Should Be PAID
to Water Supply-Plaee the Flock
Near a Running Stream.

Particular attention should be Civ.
en- the sheep in warm weather rela-
tive to their supply of water. You
know, many old fogy farmers still
contend that sheep can get all the
water they require from the dews.
This is certainly a mistaken idea, and
one that is absolutely cruel, for sheep
need water as much as any of the
other farm animals, though they do
not drink as much as some others.
suppose it is fact that sheep can
subsist on the dews as their means
of water, but they never do so well
as those that have all they can drink,
says a writer in Farm Progress.
When an animal is forced to live on
less than the normal water supply, it
is sure to be very uncomfortable. To
do well and put on flesh, they should
have running stream Of water where
they can reach 1t.
Many sheep raisers have tendency
to let the sheep take care of them
selves, after shearing time has passed,
and there are so many other farm
duties demanding attention. Where
there are young lambs, they should be
well cared for in order to make the
best growth possible before market
ing in the fall. They are hard to get
in shape to sell when they have been
forced to look out for themselves.
If one happens to have running
stream Of water in the sheep pasture,
he may consider himself fortunate. A
pond is next best, and often one is
obliged to put up few rods Of fenc.
ing to inclose pond, spring, or part
Of creek.

The young man opened wide his
mouth, displayed tooth neatly filed
with gold. He explained that the king,
with melted gold and fishbone jnstru-
ments, had done this work.
