Playground Movement Should Inter-

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis, Feb. 16.-"lf you wish the
child to have the very best develop
ment you should be interested in the
playground movement, for it develops
the mental, the social, and the moral
side of the child's nature, just as
much as it develops the physical
side
So said Miss Miriam Thayer, Pro-
fessor of Physical Education for Wo-
men, Oregon Agricultural College, to
the several hundred women and men
whom she addressed during Farmers
Week. "The question of Fairgrounds
is one for the business men S and the
women's clubs, and whether you have
little children or not, | think you
should be interested in the play
grounds"
I'VE may divide the ages consider
ed in connection with play into the
following sections: Up to five, the i'm
ltative age from five to 12-and this
is very important age in the devel-
opment of a child-the age in which
he begins to assert himself and where
his individuality comes in; from this
age up to about 20. Quite often
children of this later age (for they
are children) care nothing about
play This is because of our too
highly developed civilization. Indeed
play should not stop even at co.

PROFIT and LOSS IN HOGS
BY f. w. Ferguson. Jr.


1t is frequently stated by hog men
that the younger the hog the cheaper
the gain. While this may be true
in most cases, it is not hard and fast |
rule.
/ took especial care one season to |
form a basis for estimating the cost |
of the hogs through the different
stages of their growth l have di-
vided the hogs into three groups:
First, tried brood sows; second,
from good mothers; and third, gifts
from second rate mothers.
To take the whole number, l have
an average of five pigs to SOW and
have a service charge of 81 per litter,
making twenty cents for each pig, |
also charge 81 per SOW for her share
of interest and depreciation on build
ings, ETC., and make like charge
for the extra care of sows at breed
| ing time. This puts first cost of
sixty cents for each pig.
One of my best gifts was killed by
an old SOW in the winter after she
was with pig. She was among the
incest and weighed just about 200
pounds, so l have loss of $12 that l
! hardly know where to place; possibly
it should be charged to my poverty in
not being able to provide separate
quarters for the old sows and the
gifts. At any rate, l have charge
of about fifteen cents per pig.
The sows lost in weight from the
| time of narrowing to weaving an
average of seyenty-five pounds. Pos
sibly they were heavier at the time
of narrowing than they would have
been had they not been with pig, but
this amount would have been negli-
gible. My barrows the same age as
the gifts weighed 2SS, while the gifts
weighed 275, just few days before
my first pigs arrived. Consequently
1 charge seventy-five pounds lost
weight at Sc, making $3.50 for each
litter, or ninety cents for each pig
The cost of the feed that season
was not much above 81 per month
for three months for the sows, ex-
elusive of the range, which is I'M
limited and practically valuelesa
though they did eat a little rye and
alfalfa. l am sure fifty cents would
easily cover this entire charge. The
SOW feed would be $3.50 for three
months, to which I shall now add ar
interest charge of fifty cents on each
sow, bringing the total to 81.
l have been feeding the pigs corn
skimmilk and tankage for over ;
month. They have eaten $40 wortl
of corn and about $3.50 worth of thu
other feeds, SO here 1 have a furthe
charge of thirty cents for each pig

The pigs now weigh thirty-five
pounds, and while not at all fat are
all good, thrifty ones; not one runt,
except pig that had his foot stepped
on when few days old. This brings
the present cost of the pigs to almost
exactly eight cents pound. Had
not carried the sows through on an
exceptionally cheap ration they might
easily stand me ten cents a pound.
Nor do l consider ten cents too high
charge to make for good weaving
pigs when finished hogs are selling at
the present level of 81.
To take up each division of hogs;
My tried brood sows pigs have cost
in service, shedding and care only
two-thirds as much. The shrink of
the sows is greater, but the number
of pigs is also greater, so this item
will not be greatly different from the
average. The sow's feed is some
what larger amount, but, on the other
hand the pigs from the old sows weigh
forty pounds. l estimate they have
cost me- but seven cents per pound,
unless l should charge the loss of that
young SOW to the old sows and their
pigs, which is perhaps not fair as to
spread the loss over the whole number.
My gifts from proven dams have an
average of five and one-half pigs per
SOW. The shrink is little more than
the average The pigs only weigh
thirty-two pounds. They cost me d
/ little over seven and half cents a
pound.
The cost of pigs is dependent to a
great degree upon the individuality
of the dam. l find the gifts from the
different mothers have shrunk about
fifty pounds, and, lufping the first
charges of service, care, etc, at $500
a litter, So for shrink and 81 for feed
ETC., for sow and pigs, we have SIC
charge to put up against filters of one
two and three and four. The SOW
with one pig has not shrunk as mucl
as fifty pounds, but it is conservative
to state that the pigs from these diff
ferent sOws cost me almost IS each
and they weigh but thirty-five pounds
