MAKE THE SOWS WORK.
Compulsory Exercise Necessary For the
Health of Breeding Animals.

1t would be difficult TO point out Il
lazier creature in tho animal kingdom
than a brood SOW. and those who pro-
claim the doctrine of letting nature
take her curse will face all kinds of
dire disaster in swine breeding opera
tions if they let the sows have their
OWN way. We do not hesitate to say
that the most skillful kind Of feeding
involving an ideal balanced ration will
not result in a favorable outcome at
narrowing time unless some sort of
compulsory exercise is forced upon
the breeding herd. says the Iowa
Farmer.
We appreciate the fact that a sub
.icct like this becomes hackncyed and
it is difficult to convince the average
man that much Importance should be
attached to exercise during the winter

months. When sows have their own

their nice warm beds for every hour
that they rustic. whereas during the
greater portion of the winter there is
no eaSon why animals in the breeding
herd should not he kept on their feet
during the greater portion of the day.
One way to enforce part of this dis
cipline is to scatter grain about the
yard instead Of feeding it in a trough.
This is not enough. however. and those
who arc most successful in raising
large. strong litterS have almost uni
vcrSally adopted the plan Of turning
their SONS away from the yards dur
ing the greater portion of every fine
winter day. If there is no straw avail
able and they do not have access to a
manurc pile. the SONS of necessity
keep themselves on the go continuous
ly. 1t is ideal if they a spend this
time in a big pasture. because in that
case they will keep rowing over it in
stead of standing at the gate and
%Surealing. which will he the case if
they arc simply turned into a bare
yard.
II will pay to take the time to scatter
a little ShelIcd corn here and there over
the pasture. This will prove an incen-
tive for the SoWs to hc continuously on
the hunt for food.

Grain must be used as the milk is

always been preferred by horsemen
for young colts. They are undoubtedly
superior to any other single grain.
The colt likes Il mixture or Il variety
of grains and will thrive best on such
a ration. He relishes corn. and it may
well he fed as part of the grain ration.
1t may be said that corn contains a
rather high percentage of fat. True. it

The Swift and Deadly Fokker.

Berlin. April 2.-Mijnheer Fokker.
inventor of the m%onoplane that has ere
ateu havoc and CONSERVATION in Great
Britain and France. is a native of Hol-
land and is said to be not more than
tWcnty-three or twenty-four years old.
He has spent the greater part of his
life in Germany, but would appear to
he thoroughly familiar with the French
tlving machines.
The appearance of the Fokkcr is al.
most identical with that of the Frencl,
Moranc monoplanc, which was often
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1916-04-14

used 10y Gustave Hamel and which was
used by Brock in England in the early
part of 1914 in winning tho race from
Hendon to Manchester and back. while
the rotary engines of the Fokkcr are
declared to be German copies of the
French Gnomc. though claimed to be
the Mercedes engine of POO horsepower.
The bullet proof deviatorS attached
to the blades of the I'Okkcr. rendering
the machine almost immune from the
fire of the enemy. are said by the
French to be the invention of one of
their tlierS. GarrOS. who WAS captured
by the Germans in Flanders only a
few months ago.
Fokkcr. apparently the guiding gen
iuS in German monoplanc activity. had
this bullet proof device on his ma
chimes which first attracted the utten-
ton of his advcrSaries last December.
During that month he and his assist
ants brought down sixteen British aero
planes without damage to their own
machines. The French loss is believed
to have been fully as large. although
statistics in this as in all French casu-
altics have been withheld from the
public.
The chief valuc of the I'okkcr is it's
speed. this being over Il hundred miles
an hour and exceeding Ivy twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour anything which
the British or The French monoplanes
a accomplish, and Fokkcr himself
seems TO be responsible for This uniu,ln
feature of his machine. The gun is
stationary. The Tier has only to steer
