SO they should have pasture and be
fed well-balanced ration, and just
enough of it to keep them In good con-
dition without permitting them to be-
come fat. AS narrowing time ap-
proaches the sows should be separated
in order to prevent their crowding or
injuring one another.
The Herd Boar.
The herd boar is best handled by
giving him pasture lot by himself.
His feed should be liberal enough to
keep him in good breeding condition
only. This will be very light when he
is not in use for breeding purposes,
but during the breeding season his
feed should be increased. His ration
should consist of some high-protein
feeds along with mill feeds and a lit
tie corn. The care of the boar is i'm
portant because of his relative impor-
lance in the herd, and his care. quar-
tiers, feed and watering should be care
fully seen to and provided.
Shotes.
The term shote is applied to all
swine from the time the pig reaches
weaving age until the fattening or
breeding age is reached. Pigs should
be weaned at from eight to thirteen
weeks, depending on whether or not
the sows are to be bred again. 1t is
always wise to have them taught to
eat well before weaving in order that
the rate of gain may not be checked.
Weaving should be done gradually,
the sow's feed being reduced to cause
her to dry up properly and at the
same time increasing the feed for the
pigs. The pigs at this age should have
a ration rather high in protein and
low in carbohydrates.
The boar pigs should be castrated
between six and eight weeks of age
before they are weaned. The young
er the pig the less the shock and pos
sibly the less check in growth. If a
pig is still sucking its dam when cas-.
tration takes place the chances are
that it will be more thrifty and in
better condition than If castrated i'm
mediately after weaving. Spaying the
females is not advisable under mod.
ern conditions and will not be found
profitable enough to justify the risk
of the operation.

After Grip Then
Spring FeUer?

This is the time Of year to look
out for trouble! We feel weak--or
blood seems hot--no appetite-It's
time to clean house! This is when
the blood is clogged and we suffer
from what is commonly called cold.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry purifies the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. Pure blood is essential
to good health. The weak, rundown.
debilitated condition which so many
people experience is commonly the ef-
feet of impure blood. Medical Discov-
cry" not only cleanses the blood Of i'm
purities, but increases the activity Of
the blood-making glands, and enriches
the body with pure. rich blood.

The narrowing pen should provide a
quiet, safe and comfortable place for
the SOW. Light, cleanliness and free
dom from dampness and drafts are es-
sentiai. A guard rail should be pro-
vided to keep the SOW from crushing
the pigs.
Feeding the SOW so that she is prop
erly nourished and not overfat is the
most important of the herdsman's du-
ties. She should have succulent feeds,
such as pasture or forage in summer,
and in winter bran or other laxative
feeds should be given, SO that consti-
patton and fever may be less likely to
develop.
The feed for the SOW at narrowing
time should be sloppy and limited in
amount. Nothing but lukewarm water
should be given to the SOW during "a
hours previous to narrowing. This
same rule should be observed after
narrowing. The first "a hours after
narrowing the sow should have no feed
but should be given a liberal drink of
warm water. If, however, she shows
signs of hunger thin slop of bran
and middlings should be given. The
feeding for the first three or four days
should be light and the time consumed
in getting the SOW on full feed should
be from week to ten days, depend
ing on the size and thrift of the litter.
There is no place equal to good
pasture for the brood SOW and her lit
ter. Alfalfa, clover, rape, oats, rye,
vetch, peas, or native pasture afford
succulent nutritious feeds which
keep both SOW and pigs in good condi-
ton. Little pigs will learn to eat the
forage with the SOW at about ten
days of age If they have some palat-
able pasture.
Sunlight and clean, dry sleeping
| pens aid materially in starting the
| pigs off and in securing rapid, econom-
| ical growth. Feed the sows well and
the little pigs will soon learn to eat
| of their mothers feed. Cause both
| the SOW and pigs to take plenty Of
| exercise whether or not on forage or
| pasture crops.
The dry SOW or bred SOW should be
handled as economically as possible,

PRACTICAL POINTS
FOR A POULTRYMAN
Whole Flock Should Be Kept in
as Near Perfect State Of
Health as Possible.

(By LESLIE E. CARD, Connecticut Ag-
ricultura1 College.)
Keep the whole flock in as near a
perfect state of health as possible, as
eggs are often infected from diseased
condition of the hen and will not then
keep as we'll.
Give enough shell-forming food to
the hens so that the shells will be
strong and uniform in thickness. Thin
shelled eggs do not keep well.
Make proper nesting places and
keep them clean SO that the eggs may
not be infected while In the nests.
Gather the eggs each day.
Keep the gathered eggs in a dry,
cool room or cellar where the suns
rays do not fall directly upon them.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
servative. Place eggs in the preserv-
the time they are laid. If In doubt
as to their freshness, candle them, or
see If they sink when placed in a
dish of pure water. If an egg sinks
it is reasonably fresh.
Do not preserve dirty eggs nor eggs
that have been washed. The washed
egg will not keep because the shell
has been moistened, and the dirty eggs
will become tainted in flavor.
Do not try to keep eggs longer than
one year.
Do not use the same liquid more
than once. A new lot is cheaper than
a case Of spoiled eggs.
Rinse the eggs in water after re-
moving from the preservative. II In
good condition when removed from
water-glass solution they will usually
remain for at least two weeks.
Water-glass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for all cooking pur-
poses. II it is desired to boil them,
prick a small hole through the large
end of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores Of the shell
have been sealed by the water-glass
solution and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst it.

FORAGE CROPS ARE
FAVORED FOR HOGS
Clover Pasture Affords One Of
Cheapest Substitutes for
Grain for Swine.
By ANDREW BOSS. College of Agricui

(By ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Minnesota.)
The profits from next years hog
crop depend on getting an early start
and good growth on the spring pigs.
Grain feed is likely to be scarce and
high priced on account of the loss OF
the corn crop last fall. Good forage
can be made to go long way toward
taking the place of grain in maintain
ing the brood SOW and starting the
spring litter of pigs. Records OF gains
show that an acre Of clover will give
as large a gain on hogs as 1,400 to
1900 pounds of shorts.
II good clover pasture can be pro-
vided, it will be one Of the cheapest
substitutes for grain that can be found.
If provision for clover pasture or for
forage crops has not been made, sub
stitute crops can be grown. One OF
the best substitutes is mixture of a
bushel of oats and TX bushels Of Can
ada field peas. These should be sown
Just as early as the ground is ready
to receive the seed. They will make
a good pasture in five or six weeks.
Dwarf Essex rape Is also popular
hog forage. This may be sown early,
also, though it grows faster when not
sown until the ground Is reasonably
warm. A mixture Of half bushel OF
oats, three pounds Of Dwarf Essex
rape and two pounds of medium-red
clover sown on an acre of ground
about May / will make splendid sum-
mer feed after the middle Of June. To
follow this, corn sown in drills SO
inches apart with rape sown broadcast
after the corn has been cultivated
once or twice will make excellent late
summer and early fall feed. especially
FOR the growing pigs.
By the use of these forage crops,
very much can be done to stimulate
the growth of the pigs and to put
them in good condition for fall fatten.
ing. II small amount OF shorts and
some skim milk can be provided for
the young pigs with the forage, excel.
lent gains will be made.

Sudder, Death
Caused By Disease Of the Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package OF "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does

for twenty-five years on a stationary

himself had to face and either clear

to raise enough money to stave off an
increased deficit from year to year.
He told Of the munificence of the

they had not named the university in
order to establish their name in the
South, that the Vanderbilt family had
nothing to do with the naming of the
university, and that the institution
was named by the citizens of Nash
vile in honor of the old Commodore,
whose first gift made the university
a possibility. There was no obligation
on the Vanderbilt family to support
the university, moral or otherwise,
said the chancellor, and that the Van

which was greatly benefited by their
