KEEP GOOD OLD BROOD s0WS
Pigs From Mature Animals Average
Twenty Pounds Heavier Than
the Produce From GfIts.

Many swine raisers select their
brood sows from the early spring lit
ters and breed them in November and
December for March and April far
row. These immature gifts are fire.
Quently bred to boars OF their own
age, which makes this practice all the
more to be condemned. The Wiscon.
sin station found that pigs from ma
ture sows average 20 pounds heavier
at eight months OF age than the prod.
uce from gifts.
The farmer who breeds his gifts to
farrow at II to 13 months old is the
one who says that he cannot afford to
keep old sows. He fattens the gifts as
soon as they have weaned their litters,
turning them of in September and Sc
lects another bunch OF spring gifts to
produce his next years pig crop. By
following this practice for few years
the size and vitality Of the herd be-
come impaired and the business un-
profitable.
Keep the tried brood SOW as long as
she produces large Atters of strong
pigs. When it becomes necessary to
replace the old sow, select gilt from
. large litter, feed her for growth
rather than for fat, and don't breed
her to farrow her first litter before she
is Is to 18 months old. A gilt bred at
z or months old cannot produce a
strong litter and at the same time at
tain normal development without spe-
cial care and 1t is questionable IL such

Of genuine friendship, which the peo
pie OF the United States have always
entertained, and continue to entertain,
towards the German nation. 1t has,
Of course, accepted the successive ex-
plantations and assurances OF the I'm
perial German government, as given in
entire sincerity and good faith, and
has hoped, even against hope, that 1t
would prove to be possible for the Ger
man government so to order and con-
troll the acts of it's naval commanders
as to square it's policy with the princi
pies of humanity as embodied in the
laws of nations. 1t has been willing to
wait until the significance of the acts
became absolutely Enthusiastically and
susceptible of but one Interpretation.
"That point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible Of
but one Interpretation. The Imperial
German government has been unable
to put any limits or restraints upon its
warfare against either freight or pas
senger ships 1t has therefore become
painfully evident that the position
which this government took at the
very outset is inevitable, namely, that
the use of the submarines for the de-
struction of an enemy's comerce is of
necessity because of the very charac
ter Of the vessels employed and the
very method Of attack which their en-
ployment of course involves, incom
patible with the principles of humanity
the long established and incontroverti
BILE rights of neutrals and the sacred
immunities of noncombatants.
II have deemed it my duty there
fore, to say to the Imperial German
government that if it is still it purpose
to prosecute relentless and indiscrim-
mate warfare against vessels Of COM
merce by the use of submarines, not
withstanding the now demonstrated
impossibility Of conducting that war-
fare in accordance with what the gov
ernment of the United States must
consider the sacred and indisputable
rules of international law and the uni
versally recognized dictates of hui
manity, the government of the United
States is at last forced to the con-
clusion that there is but one course
it can pursue; and that unless the I'M
perial government should now imme-
diately declare and effect an abandon
ment of it's present methods of war;
fare against passenger and freight YES
sells, this. government can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with the government of the Ger
man empire altogether.
81 have taken it, and taken 1t in the
confidence that it will meet with your
approval and support. All sober
minded men must unite in hoping that
the Imperial German government,
which has in other circumstances
stood as the champion of all that we
are now contending for in the interest
OF humanity, may recognize the JUS
tice Of our demands and meet them in
the spirit in which they are made"
