TIME FOR BREEDING SWINE
Early Pigs Always Stronger, Grow
Faster and Are Healthier Than
Later Arrivals.

By w. L. BLIZZARD, Department OF
Animal Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and
M. College. StillwaterD
Unquestionably the best time to
raise hogs is in the spring. The early
pigs are always stronger. grow faster,
and are more healthy than the later
arrivals. The SOW should be thriving
at breeding time, but not overfat.
The best time to breed gifts Is
when they are eight months of age;
second litter at two years of age.
Breeding too early binders develop
ment and lowers the vitality of both
litter and dam. A SOW should remain
in the herd as long as useful. A prov
ed good sow Is not secondhand" in
the same sense that a buggy or gas
engine is considered secondhand. A
good. steady SOW with well-developed
teats can usually be depended upon to
repeat the performance.

the southern tip to the northern ex-

own funds in getting TO Cape Town,

Funds were necessary II the remain
der of the journey was to be made.
So Mr.. Cox went to the Kimberley dia-
mond mines, where, under an Ameri-
can mine superintendent, he worked
as boss of a gang Of black diamond
diggers for year.
In his tramp through the heart Of
the region where man-eating lions
abound Mr.. Cox and his bearers were

USING BABY" APPLE BARREL

The Virginia apple growers are
using what is called a baby" barrel.
1t is like the standard barrel In con-
struction. but is only half the size
and contains but half the quantity OF
apples. English and American apple
handlers have given the opinion that
this sized package would appeal to
the consumer who would not care for

Fruit men also believe that this

better than do the administrators of

kaiser.
Striking the sources of the Nile in

by steamer down the east coast Of

Mr.. Cox travelled while in the grip Of

fever, however, is intermittent, and
does not waste the sufferers strength

to begin with, the character of the fe-
