WEAVING LITTLE PIGS
Nav Be Done at Eight Weeks OF
AGE When Desired.
Sow Two Years Old Should Produce

Give to Best Milk Flow.

,Rv John C.. BURNS. Texas Expert
ment StaSfon.)
As a general rule, we find 1t adv1s-
able to wean pigs at about ten weeks
of age. In the Ease of the especially
thrifty, well-developed pigs, and
when it is desired to breed the Bow
as early as possible again. pigs may
be weaned at eight weeks old with
good results. AS a rule. we DO not
consider it advisable to have a SOW
farrow before she is twelve months
old. Or, in other words, 1t Is gen
orally considered best not to breed
them until they are between eight
and nine months old. Breeding too
early often has the tendency to check
the growth of the gilt and sometimes
the effects are permanent
Fourteen or fifteen hours labor In
bringing pigs is longer than ordinary.
and would naturally be weakening on
a young gilt. After weaving the litter
your gilt has, l would advise not
breeding her until she Is about nfteen
or sixteen months old. She would thus
have a chance to mend up n
grow some and would bring you
q better litter. After reaching "
years old any brood SOW should bring
two Ntters without any trouble.
rurnips, mangel-wurzels and all
such succulent feeds are good for
sows sucking pigs. as they are con-
ducive to good milk flow. Whip-poor'
will peas have good results as q for
age crop for all kinds of hogs. and
especially brood sows and growing
pigs. Ordinarily 1t Is best to let hogs
craze them and thus save the Labor
of harvesting. It Is best to Craze
the peas when the fruit is fully devel
oped. but the vines still green. as IL
this case much of the vines as well ~
the peas will be consumed.

New York, Nov. Thirteen per-

been unconscious before the fire start
ed. The smoke completed their asphy-
xiation and many of them were 1ouno
dead in bed All were Poles.
The building was occupied by fam
lilies having as boarders laborers em-
ployed in a sugar factory. The gas
which had filled the lower part OF tho
house exploded spreading the flames
and cutting off exit by the halls. Those
who were not overcome by the gas
fled by the fire escapes.
Firemen were unable to enter the
building until after the blaze was ex-
tinguished and on entering the upper
rooms found several bodies in beds
and others of women and children In
positions indicating that they had fed
to the windows and Railways but
were overcome either by gas or smoke.
One man. a spectator. died OF heart

explosion was attributed to the break
ing of a lamp left burning in hall.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out. to feel clean inside: no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
patton, bilious attacks, sick headache
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the inside
like you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
TO keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day. a. glass of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire ali
mentary tract, before putting more
food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated ho,
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up.
AS soap and hot water act on the
skin, cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying, so limestone phosphate and hot
water before breakfast, act on the
stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels
