Press Park Courtesies.

A st. Louis baseball writer. making
his first visit 10 Shibc Park. was
greatly impressed by the courtesies
at the home OF the Athletics and he
called attention to the free score
cards, the clean seats. and the
capable manner In which actors. real
estate SPECTATORS. and plain hoboes
were kept out OF the sacred precincts
OF the press box
About the best thing we have ever
noticed at Shibe Park are the clean
seats. the free score cards. and the
excellent score board. offering the
batting order and the correct scores
OF games being played there and
being played everywhere else in both
big leagues.

Stockraising Offers Splendid Field
For Exercising Ingenuity of Youth

so nice a meat. This operation should
take place when the pigs are five or
six weeks old, as they will not be
hindered in their growth nearly so
much at that time as they would be if
the task was left until later. Have
your father do it for you as he under
stands it and will be less apt to in
jure the pigs. Choose a bright, dry
day neither cold nor extremely hot
Have their pen clean and dry so that
no infection of the wound can take
place. The part to be cut should be
thoroughly cleaned with a solution
made Of three parts of zenoleum, or
other coal tar disinfectant, to 100 parts
of water. Also rinse out the wound
with the preparation before letting the
pig go.
In order to raise two litter of pigs
each year, plan to wean them when
eight or ten weeks old. Begin prepar-
ing the SOW for this separation cOu-
pie of weeks before weaving, by grad
ually lessening the amount of gian fed
her each day. Also reduce the amount
Of skim milk if you have been feeding
it, using part water in it's place for a
while, if necessary. This will cause
her to give less milk, and so it will
not be so hard to dry her up when the
pigs are taken away. AS her milk
flow drops the pigs will eat more feed
and more grass so that they will be
better prepared for their weaving.
When ready to wean the pigs put
them in a pen by themselves, SO that
they cannot get back to their mother
at all. Never let them return to her
unless it is seen that her udder con-
tains so much milk that she is uncom-
Portable. 1t will not be necessary to
do this more than twice, however, at
the most.
And now, boys, a good lot of skim
milk will take the place of the sow's
milk for these pigs. Feed in the milk
any of the grain mixtures for pigs al
ready mentioned. At first feed them
four times a day, but soon reduce it
to three times, and later to two if you
so desire. Give the pigs free range of
good pasture which will save you a
great deal on the amount Of grain fed.
Rye is all right for fattening pigs,
but never feed it to young growing
pigs. 1t will cause them to scour and
if you continue to feed it long many
Of your pigs may die. Don't begin to
feed rye until your pigs weigh at
least 100 pounds.
Corn may be fed in small amounts,
but for the first six or eight weeks
after weaving do not let it make up
more than one-half Of the ration

HOG CHOLERA SERUM
BY A new METHOD
EXPERTS DECLARE
CLEAR, STERILIZED PRODUCT
HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE.

A new method of preparing anti-hog-
cholera serum, which permits the
economical production of clear, ster-
ilized product, has just been described
in the Journal Of Agricultural Re
search Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The advantage claimed for the new
method is that it makes possible the
production of an anti-hog- cholera SER
UNI which can be quickly sterilized by
heat to a point that will absolutely kill
any germs of foot and mouth disease
and so yield serum that is absolute
ly safe even if taken from a hog which
might harbOr foot and mouth disease,
and yet give no indication Of being in
fected.
The method, as described by its dis
covers, DR.. Marion Dorset and r. r.
Henley of the biochemic division, Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry, consists in
adding a slight amount of an extract
from ordinary white navy beans to the
defbrinated hog cholera immune
blood, which has been the form of the
The addition of this bean extract
the red cells Of the blood to agglutin-
ate and when the mixture is whirled
on a certain centrifuge the red cells
pack together and form a rather stiff
jelly-like mass.
1t is then possible to pour off a clear
serum, leaving behind the red cells,
which play part in preventing hog
cholera and which, in fact, simply tend
to dilute the serum and render it's
sterilization by heat impracticable
To increase the yield Of clear serum
the discoveries added a small amount
of ordinary salt and found that they
obtained from 20 to IA per cent of
clear serum. The clear serum thus
obtained it was found could be heated
for 80 minutes at a temperature of 60
degrees centrigrade without changing
its consistency or lessening in any way
its effectiveness in preventing hog
cholera. The heating to this point for
this time is more than sufficient to
kill any germs of foot and mouth dis
ease which might accidentally be pres
ent.
Practical test with hogs shows that
probably all Of the antibodies useful in
combating hog cholera were retained
inn the serum and the red cells ex-
tracted contained so few, if any, of
these valuable bodies as to make the
residue Of red cells useless in prevent
ing the disease.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

The young man who stands at the
parting of the ways between boyhood
and manhood is a surveyor. He sur
veys what he thinks he wants to do.
Shall he enter a profession, engage

fatty up against the question of es-
timating the future, which each Occu-
patton holds for him.
If ne can then confer with men en-
gagged in the various classes of the

opportunity lies thickest spread. In
this connection the following from an
address by the late DR.. Henry B. Fa-

SIZE OF The FARM;
LARGE OR SMALL E?
NUMBER OF ACRES DEPENDS UP
ON CONDITION OF LAND AND
QUALITY OF SOIL.

The size Of business often has much
to do toward making the farm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
or too large for the most successful
farming, says the Government Bulle-
tin. There may be too few as we'll as
too many acres. A man may not have
enough land or he may be land poor, !"
thereby rendering all his acres I'M
profitable.
About thirty years ago a Wisconsin
farmer with large family was deep
ly in debt. His farm consisted of 120
acres, half of which was under the
pillow. The remainder was woodland
and expensive to clear. For twelve
years the farmer had not been able to
meet his interest. To him the whole
farm consisted of improbable acres.
He finally decided that the farm was
too small for the most efficient use Of
the labor available.
Having an opportunity, he bought
an adjoining eighty acres of cleared
land, going in debt for the full amount
of the purchase price. From that time
on the farm was prosperous, and in
10 years the entire farm was paid for
and enough additional money saved to
build a good house and barn.
During this period there had been
no great change in prices for farm
products. The smaller farm had been
improbable because the overhead ex-
penses were too high for so small a
business. In this case acres were made
profitable by increasing their number.
In the early Cos 9 North Dakota
farmer owned three quarter sections
of land. His farm was quite heavily
mOrtgaged and for number of years
he had not been able to pay interest
in full His family was small and for
the most of the work he had to depend
on hired help. He concluded that I'M
der the circumstances he was working
or trying to work, too many acres.
Finally he sold a quarter section and
paid his debts. Seven years later he
had $4,000 in the bank. Increased
prices of farm products during this
period only account in part for this
farmers increased prosperity. In this
case all the acres had been unprOft-
able largely because there were too
many of them. c. Mcdowell, in
1915 Yearbook.
