those caused by disease, by providing
proper shelter for the sow at narrowing
time. In the South this shelter can be
constructed very cheaply, and even in
the North it can be provided in most
cases at a moderate cost. The farmer
should always be present at narrowing
time. but should not interfere with the
sow unless necessity calls for his as
sistance. The raiser should always
cultivate the confidence Of his animals
by quiet and humane handling; this
care and attention in times OF neces-
sity will pay big returns. The pigs
upon arrival should be rubbed dry
with a gunny sack and quietly removed
to a place of safety. For this purpose
it is well to provide a covered basket
or hamper containing gunny sacks. In
cold, damp weather it may be well to
warm a brick, wrap it in gunny sack,
and place it in the basket to warm up
the new arrivals. If the SOW is very
long in narrowing, it may be well after
two or three hours to place the little

wraps for spring are merely capes, IN
one shape or another, Joined to collar
cites made of the same material.
Besides these frivolous and dressy
little wraps there are innumerable
cape collars of organdie or other sheer
stuffs for indoor wear. Two of them
are shown here. One Is dainty and
demure looking furbelow with a plain
band about the neck and hemstitched
edge. It fastens at one side with a
row of small crocheted buttons and
is ornamented by an insertion of mar
row val lace very neatly set in about
two inches from the edge.
At the left of the picture the cape of
organdie joins high turnover collar
by means of q row of hemstitching.
This collar is plated across the back
and has rather deep points at the front
where it opens in a V at the throat.
Val lace, having square mesh, is set
to the edges with scant fullness, and
two rows of hemstitching are placed
above it in the organdie. This collar
fastens at the front with a single small
pearl button.

pleasing than they are.
All of this promises a summer of
coiorful clothes. These cotton mate

are no others smarter in design. Best
of all, they are washable.
One of the new canvas cloths is
shown in an afternoon gown, pictured
above. 1t is a one-piece model with
full plain skirt and surplice waist.
The edges of the bodice and bottom of
the skirt are finished with cord COW
cred with the canvas. The sleeves
are of cream-colored net fiouncing, and
the embroidered edge forms the deep
cum that extends over the hand. A
rosette, which fastens the surplice, is
made of the canvas also.

sheer fabrics is out of place in these
heavier weaves. and in large patterns

Displays of spring dress goods in
the shops are enriched by many beau
tiful and novel cotton fabrics that are
q revelation in the art of weaving cot
ton. They include canvas cloths and
basket weaves that promise something
of a revolution in apparel for warm
weather. There are the smart avn
ing stripes in white with all colors
and white with black, in which color
ings and the arrangement of stripes
are both new. They are to be used
for separate skirts to be worn with
coats of plain color. Basket weaves
are most attractive in black and white,
but are shown in many designs adapt
ed to skirts and suits. Cottons, in
fact, are usurping the place of wool
ems and silks by the force of the
beauty and practicability of the new

Some of the familiar cotton mate

them, made into coats finished with

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made 1t clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits Of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profitg
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and CON-
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agrl-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase OF fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent In others, OF clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
runor that the farmer or the farmers
land Is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement

be made by consulting state and red
eral authorities, who will gladly give
information on the subject.
II the hogs are already wormy, tur-

replace them in the basket until the
mother is through.
For IL hours before narrowing and
for "a hours afterwards the SOW should
have no feed. During this period all
the fresh, clean water that she may
desire should be accessible. The water
should have the chill taken off. The

The best indicator of the amount Of
feed necessary for a SOW and her pigs
is her condition and the condition of
the youngsters themselves. The SOW
should receive enough to keep her and
her pigs in fair condition mot bony)
and yet she should not be overfed.
Overlooking of the sow often causes
scours in the pigs.
The pigs should be weaned at six or
eight weeks of age. BY this time they
should be eating readily and should
be continued for two or three weeks
on the same mixture that their mother
was receiving, after which the feed
can be changed gradually to a grow
ing, fattening ration if the pigs are in
tended for market. The addition of a
little sweet skim milk to their ration
at weaving time is especially helpful
to young pigs. Castrating should be
done a week or ten days before wean-
ing. Spaying does not pay.
Feeding.
The best informa alton on the feeds
available in the farmers locality can
be readily and accurately given by the
state experiment station. Pigs make
the best use of concentrates. These
can be fed in self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter
house, bakery, or table by-products,
etc. A by-product to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds
of nutrients, and should be fresh and
free from faint. During the winter,
leguminous hays fed in addition to the
concentrate help reduce the cost OF
production. In the summer, pasture
crops such as rape, alfalfa, bur clover,
crimson clover, rye, etc., make very
economical and efficient supplements
for hog feeding. In practically every
farming district in the United States
cheap and efficient forage and grain
scrops are available for hog production.
These should be diligently studied by
the farmer, with the aid of the state
and federal forces, and used in the
most profitable manner.
The self-feeder is greatly reducing
the labor cost in hog production, and
the principles governing it's use should
become a part of every hog growers
equipment. 1t is especially useful In
feeding, growing, fattening stock,
which is the largest part of hog pro-
duction on most farms.
Diseases and Parasites.
The prevention and cure OF disease
are always more readily accomplished
where cleanliness and sunshine pre-
vail. Probably the commonest and
worst troubles of hogs are hog cholera,
internal parasites, and lice. The farm
er should make thorough study or
the methods of preventing and treat
ing these troubles. This study should

(F'rom the United States Department or
sAgriculture)
The low prices received for hogs dur
ing the past year have been discourag-
ing to some of the hog raisers of the
country. The hog should be paying
animal. He requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital, makes greater
gains on 100 pounds of concentrates,
reproduces himself faster and in great
er numbers, and returns the money
faster than any other farm animal.
The fact remains, however, that prices
paid for hogs are low and discourag-
ing. In spite of these prices the ami
NAL that possesses the above advan-
tages can still lift mortgages for his
owner if the latter will study and apply
some of the fundamental principles un-
derlying the business.
To begin with, the best can be made
of a poor market by having the hogs
ready at the time when they are most
wanted by that market. This normal
ly occurs during the spring and again
during early fall. The September and
October market is usually. the highest.
How can the farmer take advantage
of these facts to the greatest degree?
In the first place, the hog wanted by
the market usually runs between ITS
and 225 pounds. Fortunately this Is
the most economical weight at which
to dispose of the hog. Up to this point
his gains are made very cheaply. Be-
yond 300 pounds it is doubtful II I'M
der general conditions feeding can be
made profitable business. The hog,
If properly fed, can readily be put upon
the market at 200 pounds in six or sew
en- months. Therefore have the pigs
for the September market dropped in
the latter part of February or during
March. This will require that the
breeding of the sows begin about the
latter part Of October or November
first, continuing, If necessary, during
the first week in December. The pigs
for the April market should be dropped
in early September. These pigs can
then be weaned before the November
breeding season starts. To have the
pigs dropped in September it will be
necessary to breed the sows during
May or early June. Under certain con-
ditions it may be impossible to bring
hogs to the 200-pound mark at six
months; however, a great effort should
be made to attain this goal, as time
means money, and the longer hogs
are held the greater will be the labor
and overhead charges. The cost OF
feed for maintenance also will be in
creased.
Breeding, narrowing, WEAVING.
On the average farm there should be
radical improvement in breeding and
the care of details during narrowing,
weaving, etc. There are many COM
plants throughout the country either
of small litters or else great mortal
ity in pigs. By keeping the production
records of sows and selecting from
those that produce and raise large av-
erage litters breeder can raise to its
most efficient point the size of his lit
tiers. This probably runs between sew
en- and eight to the litter. The hog
raiser can prevent losses, other than
