Says Two More Schools Needed
Davenport must have two new school
buildings according to President o.
A. Dahms of the school board and Sup
erintendent Frank L. Smart. The Ty-
Ter and Van Buren, school districts
are so badly overcrowded that some
provision must be made for new pu-
pills next fall. Adams school will
probably be remodeled. This has
been referred to the property commit

opinion that if a new school is built

Liquor Case in Supreme C0urt-Thc
appeal of the Davenport liquor men
10 the supreme court was heard IN
Des MOines before Judge Deemer. At
torney General COsSOn appeared be-
fore the court and presented the case.
There was no need of the attorneys
for the liquor men appearing as the
case is to be tried on statement OF
facts and all of these are combined
in the written argument OF the liquor
men. The report that the case had
been thrown out on account of the Ii
uuor men not appearing is regarded
by their attorneys as being erron-
eous. as the brief had been filed some
time ago and that is all that is neces-
sary. Attorney Louis Block, repre-
senting the liquor men and Attorney
General Cosson had agreed on the
statement of facts and it was unneces-
sary for the parties TO be present
The rules of the supreme court call
for 80 minutes of argument by each
side. This is restricted, however, to
the contents of the brief. The attor-
news say it would be foolish to at
tempt TO argue brief that it would
take several hours TO read and on
which attorneys had worked for six
months. Attorney Louis Block for the
local liquor men telegraphed to the
clerk of the supreme court in Des
Moines. and was notified that the
case had come before the supreme
court but would probably not be de-
cided for at least month.

A Good PIs.wsanIna Trough Used at eeItsvIIIe. Md.

The sow, in order to produce a
large, healthy litter, should be in the
best possible condition. After she has
been bred, careful feeding and man
agement are necessary to develop sue
cessfully the litter she is to produce.
1t is well to keep record of the date
on which the SOW was bred, in order
to know approximately when the
youngsters are about to arrive. The

days. 1t is good policy to be on hand

age, fed as a thin slop, is very good.
Good succulent pasture Is always bene-
fetal. 1t will aid wonderfully In put
ting growth on the young pigs, and
the grain expense will be lessened.
After litter of pigs has been weaned
and are eating well, the most difficult
part of their care is over The feed
ing and management from then on will
depend much upon whether they are to
be kept for breeding or fattened for
the market.
Young pigs, just after they are ia
ken away from their dam, should be
given their feed in such a manner that
each individual pig gets its share. The
simplest way to accomplish this is to
allow the pigs to eat from properly
constructed feed trough; one that will
keep the pigs out Of the feed and will
lessen the possibility of crowding.
A weaving trough is used with good
results on the government experiment
farm at Beltsville, Md. This trough
is large enough to hold quantity of
slop sufficient to feed 20 weaving pigs
weighing approximately IS pounds
1t is only 3 inches deep. thus enabling
the pigs to get at their feed very con.
veniently. The construction of the
ridge pole together with the partition
pieces makes it impossible for the pigs
to get into the trough with their feet.
1t is very simple matter to keep the
trough clean, as there is plenty of
room for one to work conveniently
with scrubbing brush on the inside
of the trough. Water applied freely.

pounds, making 1t very convenient for
one man to handle. This trough, con-
structed as cheaply and as durably
as possible, is sufficiently strong sc

Detailed Plan Of construction Of Trough.

Ii any life in the body Give it a
suck of the sow's milk and place it
in the receptacle described. The pigs
will not suffer if they do not suck for
a few minutes after farrowing.
Before placing the pigs with the
SOW, cut out the eight small tusklike
teeth. There are four of these on
each jaw in the rear Of the mouth.
These teeth are very sharp, and if
left in the pigs mouth they will likely
cause tearing of the sow's udder. and
the little pigs cut one another's mouths
while fighting for teat. These teeth
can be removed with bone forcepy,
wire nippers, or knife. Never pull
out the teeth. Always cut or break
them of. After this operation place
the pigs with the SOW, care being ia
ken that each one gets to teat.
When the afterbirth is passed 1t
should be removed from the pen at
once and buried or burned. There is
good reason to believe that eating the
afterbirth is often the beginning Of
the habit of eating pigs.
Great care must be taken to feed
the SOW properly. If she is not being
properly fed the little pigs will show
1t. If the pigs follow the SOW around
very much and pull at her teats. it Is
a good sign that she is not giving
enough milk and more feed should be
given to stimulate milk flow. When q
SOW is overfed, causing heavy milk
flow, securing is generally produced
in the pigs. If this happens. cut down
the sow's feed Immediately. Give the
SOW is to 20 grains of sulphate Of
iron (copperas) In her slop morning
and evening, and If necessary increase
the dose until results have been OBJ
tanned.
1t Is very necessary that the little
pigs have plenty of exercise and all
the sunlight that can be given them.
II they do not get exercise, they will
get fat and lazy and the usual result
10 the "thumps." This is caused by
the fat getting so thick around the
heart and lungs that the pigs find 1t
difficult to breathe. They will be no
ticed heaving at the flank and gasping
for breath. The best way to prevent
this is to avoid overlooking and make
the young pigs take plenty of exercise.
When the pigs are about FIVE weeks
old, they will begin to taste some Of
their mothers feed. Do not be in
hurry to wean them. Eight weeks is
young enough to wean them, II there
is skim milk for them. OF course the
size and development has great deal
to do with their we ming age. II skim
milk is not obtainable. 1t is better to
let the pigs nurse the. SOW until ten
weeks old.
