have keen appetite for their next feeding. Watch their droppings to see that no food passes through them undigested
 Watch results closely from any new line of feeding that may be in- troduced. Never make too sudden or radical a change in the line of feed- ing practiced. Treat the COWS kindly, feed them regularly, milk them at regular hours and, if possible always have the same person milk them.
 In increasing grain ration we should never increase 1t more than one-half pound day. In this way the cows digestive organs have an opportunity to become adjusted to the change and are able to take care of the additional amount of feed In this way you can safely increase her feed until she is obtaining all that she can economically handle.
 Care must be exercised that we do not feed so much grain food that there is no room or appetite left for coarse folders.
 Coarse folders are highly essential in preserving the health of the COW and not tending toward making fat.
 As a general proposition it will be found a safe rule to follow to feed twice as many pounds of hay as we do grain. The COW that is being fed eight pounds of grain a day should have sixteen pounds of good hay.
 If ensilage is being fed We must count three or four pounds of that equal to one pound of hay or dry fodder
 Methods of preserving ensilage are better understood and the prejudice against milk and butter from COWS that are fed ensilage is fast disappear ing. Succulent foods and comfortable barns are the making of maximum yields in winter practicable, and this coupled with higher prices for milk and it's products makes it more profit able for us to practice allthe-year- around dairying.

keep her hungry than to oyerfeed her. In fact, the only way to keep early spring pigs from growing too rapidly and becoming too fat when the sows are confined is to feed the sows spar ingly.
 Under ordinary conditions when sows and pigs are given plenty of ex- ercise, the feed may be gradually in creased until from ten days to two weeks after farrowing liberal feed ing of a heavy ration Is being given When the pigs are from four to six weeks old they will begin to eat with the sows. They should be fed
The Monticellonian., 1915-03-11

The farrowing pen should be sup piled with fresh, dry, clean and dust less bedding. Fine rye, wheat or oat straw or shredded corn fodder makes excellent bedding, but barley straw and wood shavings should not be used. Dusty beds are likely to cause coughing or pneumonia. Individual sows differ as to the amount of bed ding needed at farrowing Some make bad use of it and should be given but little; others can be allowed a liberal supply Little pigs are very sensitive to the cold and if they arrive during the cold weather they must be given special attention to prevent them from getting chilled.
 A SOW should be kept quiet and fed very little during the first 24 hours after farrowing. She should be al lowed drinking water, and when she show. signs of hunger a limited amount of thick slop ration. largely Of bran, may be given her. This will satisfy her appetite, and keep her digestive tract open and in the proper condition. Now. it is much better to

TRY TO APE" MAJORS

,fUnited Press Leased Wire Servfce.]
CHICAGO. July 9.-Frenzied finance
and attempting to ape the major
leagues are the causes Of all the finan-
cial troubles in the minor Leagues this
year. This was the statement of Tip
O'Neill, president of the Western
league, in an interview with the Unit.
ed Press today. The O'Neill interview
was sought appropo of the dissolu-
ton of the Bi-State. the Southern
Michigan and the Rio Grande-Texas

When the smaller fellows quit pay
ing the salaries the major leaguers
are drawing and regulate 1heir bust
ness to fit the money taken in at the
gates, then and not before will the
minor leagues throughout the country
prosper and live through at least one

matter I'VE had all been warned that

advent Of the Federal league into the
field had nothing to do with present
conditions.
In some quarters where leagues
are disbanding," O'Neill said, the
Federal league has never been heard
of. It's nothing but this frenzied fin
ance and desire to mimic the major
leagues that has already caused three
leagues to break. And no doubt be-
'o-e the season ends several others

However" he said, this season
