By r. G. WEATHERsTONE)
It is we'll known that the progeny
from mature parents are superior to
those descended from young progeni-
tors, not fully developed. Bears and
sows, for breeding, should be kept in
a good, thrifty condition, but not fat.
The writer has always been troubled
to keep his breeding sows from be-
coming too fat, and consequently
narrowing small number Of scrawny
pigs.
/ once took a large SOW to fattep
for one-half the pork. I did not
know she was with pig and fed her
all the cornmeal and wheat middlings
she would eat.
Imagine my disappointment and vex-
alton when she had three little,
dwarfed pigs-not only smaller than
pigs usually are when first narrowed,
but emaCiated.
Sows for breeding should not be al
lowed to run with the fattening hogs
fed on corn, but kept in pasture by
themselves and given a plentiful
supply Of slop, made of equal parts
of wheat shorts, cornmeal and wheat
bran.
Most young sows will breed when
three months old, if allowed to run
with a boar, but eight or twelve
months is as young as it is judicious
to breed them.
Not only this, but it stunts or
dwarfs the growth of such young
things permanently, and they never
attain good size.
The pigs from large-bodied, old
sows will be more in number, and
frequently double the size of pigs
from young sows when farroWed-
and this with the same feed and care
and will frequently weigh so pei

SILAGE INCREASES
PROFITS IN LAMBS
Addition of SheIIed Corn and
Clover Hay Reduced Cost of
Gain at Purdue.

The addition of corn silage to a
ration of shelled corn and clover hay
reduced the cost of gain on lot Of
lambs fed at the Purdue station 49
cents per hundred pounds. 1t also
slightly increased the selling value of
the lambs, and increased the profit
% cents per lamb. When the corn
silage was added to the ration, it was
found that slightly less of the shelled
corn was eaten. and at the same time,
the rate of gain on the lambs was
slightly decreased The amount of
hay consumed by the lambs also was
reduced when silage was added, 121
pounds of the silage reducing the hay
consumption 0.72 pound daily per
lamb.
Without silage, the ration of shelled
corn and clover hay produced gain
on proportionately the same quantity
of grain as did the same ration with
silage added. Considerable hay was
saved, however, as it was found that
1853 pounds Of silage reduced the guam
tity Of clover hay consumed in max.
ing 100 pounds of gain by 1919 pounds.

CrinoIine in History.

The oft-threatened return Of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists Of
fashion, leaves US all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According to pictures Of Queen Eliza
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, writer in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts of these were
simply widened at the bottom.

!. CHICKENS NEED SOME MEAT
Wisconsin Poultry Expert Believes
Protein Food Produces Greater
Results at Lower Cost.

That it is poor policy for farmers
not to feed some kind of food to their
chickens which is high in protein val
ue, such as beef scraps, or sour milk,
is the opinion of H. L. Kempster, as
sociate professor of poultry husbandry
at the University of Missouri.
Mr.. Kempster has recently conduct
ed an experiment which he believes
proves conclusively that protein food
produces greater results at lower
costs. In three separate pens the
same number of chickens were kept.
All were fed corn all of the time,
wheat part Of the time, and in addi'
ton ground rations of bran, middlings
and cornmeal. Besides the regular
feed for the chickens in all three pens,
those in pen one were fed beef scraps,
and those in pen three were given all
the sour milk they wanted. The hens
we're about the same age. The expert
ment covered the time between No
yember and June 1.
IT Those hens in pen two, given only
the regular feed, produced only SOC
eggs; those in pen one, given beef
scraps, produced 1918 eggs; and those
in pen three, fed sour milk, produced
1,425 eggs. The hens in pen one ate
,923 pounds of grain, those in pen two
944 pounds and those in pen three SSe
sounds. ~
q The amount OF beef scraps fed to
the chickens in pen one was 60 pounds
costing $3.50. These hens produced
us more eggs than those chickens fec
only the regular ration. In other
words, these chickens produced 71s
additional eggs on feed which cost
but $3.50 more than the regular ration
Those hens fed sour milk produced
nearly as many eggs as those fed the
beef-scrap ration.
