PROPER attention TO A sow
Feed, Shelter and Exercise Must NOT
BE Neglected II Man 10 to Sue
coed With Swine.

(By L. A. WEAVER. Missouri College OF
Agricultural
There are three things which should
be looked after carefully In caring ZOE
the brood sow-feed, shelter and exer'
else. II a man is to succeed he must
not neglect any one of these things.
It is entirely too common practice
In the corn belt to feed brood sows
only straight corn. This Is practice
which should not be followed for sew
eral reasons. In the first place, the
SOW should have more protein or mus
cle-building nutrients In her feed than
corn supplies. This Is necessary to
supply her own body needs, and es-
pecially for the litter OF pigs which she
is going to produce. She must also
have feed which Is less constituting
in its nature than Is corn.
One OF the things which must be
guarded against If strong litters are to
be produced, is constipation in the
brood SOW. The things which COM
monty cause constipation in the brood
SOW are too much corn and too little
water and exercise. A SOW should
also have more bulk and more mineral
matter in her ration. Corn. when fed

COST OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Machines Make Money When In Use
and Are Expensive When Idle
Other Striking Facts.

Many facts which will be interest.
Ing to farmers were determined by
the federal department OF agriculture
In recent study OF farm machinery
costs. Among the more striking facts
are the following:
Machines make money for you
when they are In use: they cost you
money when they stand idle.
"A machine makes the greatest
possible profit for its owner when
1t Is used continuously In profitable
work till 1t Is worn out. Then It Is
really worn QUIT does not rot or
rust out.
1.-THE average farm implement Is
only about half worn out by use
alone. The rest Of the wear is due
to rust and decay.
Acres count In the life OF machine
not years"
1t was found that the cost per acre
covered is the real measure OF the
value Of the service given by an I'm
plement and that. on the average, the
more acres covered per year. the more
profit to the owner.

A WORKING Plan for Building Trap Nest.

lows the door to shut. The catch
should be set so that its edge just holds
the door, which position is regulated
by the screw or nail at the lower in.
side edge Of the catch. A washer should
be placed on the screw (d) between
the catch and the side Of the nest to
prevent this catch from sticking. The
guard (b) around the catch keeps the
nesting material away from the catch.
The length of the catch which sup.
ports the door and the triangular notch
in the door may be varied slightly for
very small or very large hens.
Cut four seven-eighths-inch boards
for ends and partitions, II inches wide
by 10 inches long, enough one-half-inch
boards 39b inches long, laid length
wise, to cover the top, back and bot.
tom, and one strip 39E inches long
and " inches wide for the front OF
the nests. Cut three pieces OF one-half-
inch boards II inches long and 3
inches high to insert in the nest to
hold the nesting material away from
the door.
Nail the top, back and bottom to the
ends and partitions (see illustration),
insert the 3-inch strips in the nests,
and make the guard co., mailing it to
the left side of the nest. Bore hole
in the catch (a) large enough SO that
the catch will move freely when
screwed into position on the side.
Place a washer on the screw between
the catch and the side of the nest
Place screw at the lower edge OF
the catch to stop it when set. so that
the catch will just hold the door.
Make the doors (c) of seven.eighths
inch material, IL inches by 6 inches,
and cut triangular notch in the cen.
ter inches wide. Put two screw
eyes in the top Of the doors and bore
holes in the front Of the nests two
inches below the top (inside measure.
ment), through which a three-six.
teenth-inch wire IS run to support the
doors.
Attach a narrow strip to the front
of the nests for the hens to jump upon
when entering the nests. Place a but.
ton or block of wood on the front Of
each partition to hold the door when
the nest is closed.
If the nests are to be placed directly
below the droppings board, a wire top
should be used on the nest, except for
a five-inch strip of wood on the front
edge Of the top to stiffen the nest.

A trap nest is laying nest so ar
ranged that after hen enters 1t she
is confined until released by the at.
tendant. The trap nest shown IN the
accompanying illustration is used with
good results on the government poul-
try farm and Is quite similar to the
nest used at the Connecticut state ex-
pertinent station. 1t is very simple
in construction and may be built at q
small cost.
The use Of trap nests is essential in
breeding poultry for both egg produc-
ton and exhibition, where pedigree
records are used in selecting either
the males or females, and has place
in mass selection for increasing the
egg production. Trap nests are Of
value in wedding out poor layers and
increasing the average egg yield OF a
flock by selecting the breeding, but are
not extensively used on account Of
the large amount of labor required to
operate them. Some poultry breeders
trap-nest their pullets during their
first six months of laying and use this
as basis in selecting their breeders
for egg production.
One trap nest should be provided for
four to five hens kept in tl0cks Of 80 or
more, while more trap nests per hen
are necessary in smaller flocks. The
hens are banded with numbered bands
and record is kept of their egg pro-
duction. The nests should be visited
at least three times daily, and prefer
ably four or five times, frequent trips
being especially necessary when the
hens are laying freely and during hot
weather.
This trap nest may be attached to
the underside OF the dropping board,
with the front facing the pen and ar
ranged SO that it can be easily re-
moved, or it may be placed On the
walls of the pen. If the nest is placed
under the dropping board, the latter
will serve as top for the nest, and
the rear Of the nest may be Of wire
to allow good ventilation In warm
weather. If the nest is placed on the
wall, Stats or wire should be inserted
from the front of the nest to the wall
at a sharp angle to prevent the hens
from roosting on the nest.
The illustration above shows the
construction and working Of a trap
nest. When the hen enters this nest
her back raises the door (c), which re-
leases the catch or trigger (a) and al.

FARMERS BEAR THE BURDENS

The time has come for people who
live in rural districts to take more

Most every other class has an organi.

Avoid Strain on Wheel,

Almost invariably the driver allows
the wheel to bump against the curb in
bringing the car to a stop. He makes
the curb stop the machine instead Of
bringing 1t to stop with the brake.
This puts strain on the wheel, which,
with the weight Of the car back of it,
is apt to spring the steering connec-
tons. Repeated carelessness Of this
kind is apt to bend the steering cross
rod or possibly the steering arms.
Then, too, most drivers do not set the
emergency brake when leaving the car
standing with one wheel against the
curb, the whole weight of the car push.
