BEST FEED FOR BROOD SOWS
Equal Parts Of Corn and Wheat Shorts
10 Recommended by Expert Of
the Texas Station.

By JOHN c. BURNS. Texas Experiment
Station)
One OF the best rations that can be
used for a SOW sucking pigs Is equal
parts by weight of corr and wheat
shorts made into a slop with skim
milk. using two pounds Of milk for
every pound of the grain mixture. II
skim milk Is not available a good ra.
ton may be formed by using the pro.
portions by weight OF three parts
wheat shorts and one part corn made
into a thick slop with water.
Another good ration may be formed
by using the proportions by weight Of
seven parts corn and one part tankage
or meat meal. II available at lower
prices ground katir. maize or feterita
may be substituted for the corn in
each of the rations. The same rations
are also we'll suited for young pigs
from the time they are old enough to
eat until they are four or five months
old, when such foods as shorts and
tankage may be gradually reduced,
though they should not be cut out en-.
tirely, unless some other feed relative
ly rich in protein is used to supple
ment the grain.
Three or four weeks after farrow.
ing, green pasture should constitute Q
portion OF the ration for both SOW and
pigs II the best results sse OBJ sined.

RAISING CATTLE FOR MARKET
Hall the Disease, Death and MIsman.
aeement 10 Traceabls to lncompe-
tent Attendance.

(By W. II. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station.)
From the day the calf is born until
the day the matured animal is con.
signed to the butcher. the rule to be
observed should be-: Continuous pro-
gression and no retrogression.
One authority has made the state
ment that half tine disease, death and
mismanagement amongst animals, and
especially cattle, Is traceable to insult
ficient and incompetent attendance"
And another. in describing the qualiH.
cations OF a good cattleman, says: "A
good cattleman makes his business a
hobby. takes pleasure in his work,
studies the comfort, likes and dislikes
OF each animal under his charge and
does for them, of his own accord, what
no amount Of instruction or supervi.
sion could insure. He readily detects
when anything is amiss with an ami
NAL. and he knows when to give and
when to withhold. when the food
should he increased and whom re-
duced, etc"
Men Of this class are what are need
ed in the business OF either raising
cattle or fattening them for the mar.
ket with the greatest assurance Of suc,
cess. No doubt they are to be had; In
fact. l feel reasonably certain that
they can be secured. but not locally.
They will have to come from other
sections Of the country for the present.
at least, where they have had the
practical experience In just this sort
of work.

nprenared by the United States Depart

Sly measures for safe farming In
the South are recommended py
the United States department OF ag'
ri%culture in a recent circular. No mat
ter what the price of cotton may be.
It is said, these measures will steady
the whole system and be of benefit
both to the individual and the COM
munity. The program recommended
Is as follows:
First. Produce q home garden for
every family on the farm. the year
round, paying special attention to q
Mot of Irish or sweet potatoes. Where
feasible. have q patch OF sorghum or
other cane to produce strip for the
family.
Second. Produce the corn necessary
TO support all Of the people on the
farm and the live stock, with abso-
Lutte safety.
Third. Produce the necessary oats
and other small grain to supplement
the corn as food. Pay attention to
winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage
rom some forage crop, sufficient to
supply all of the live stock on the
farm. Use legumes such as clover
cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay and
TO enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus.
Fifth. Produce the meat necessary
TO supply the people through increased
attention to poultry and hogs. espe
cially. Plan to increase gradually
the number of cattle and other live
stock so as to have a sufficient mum
Der to consume the waste products Of
the farm and make the waste lands
productive.
Sixth. After all of these things have
been amply provided for. produce cot
ton for the market.

DOES KISSING MEAN LovEf

One kiss from all others exalts me,
And sets all my pulses astir.
And burns on my lips and torments me:
IT'S the kiss l fain would give her.
One kiss for all others requites me
Although 1t Is never to be.
And sweetens my dreams and invites me:
IT'S the kiss that she dare not give me.
There are foolish maidens and there
are wise ones. The foolish maid be-
lieves all the fairy stories concerning
love which the jolly, handsome young
man who calls upon her tells her.
There is q class Of young men who
make love without intentions. They
are not sincere, nor do they spend
much thought Of how the girl may con
slider their so-called devotion.
Such young men have not brains
enough to win the average girl by
earnest, manly conversational powers.
They resort to pleading for kisses, to
awaken her tenderness and win her
heart. Whatever liking they have for
the girl is sure to die out II the maiden
does not repulse their effrontery. The
girls whom such men kiss without be-
ing betrothed to they make up their
minds they will never lead to the al
tar.
Love is O curious problem. Even
! while a free lance Is most ardently
pleading for kisses he Is hoping down
in his heart that the girl will have
modesty and self-will enough to refuse.
Men know that kisses do not awaken
love. They are more apt to disillusion.
ize the man at least. Men sigh for
the lips far beyond their reach. The
girl who grants such caresses is nc
longer a queen on q pedestal for him
to try to plead for.
After kisses have been exchanged
when there Is nc proposal Of marriage,
like q bee that has slipped the sweets
Of the flower, he is ready to fit away
to new scenes and prettier girls. She
has no hold upon him; he has not
asked papa or m II he may pay
court to her or for her heart and
hand. She therefore cannot say him
may" II he breaks of without ado.
He can even flirt with others and she
has not the right to call him to &C
count for 1t.
The kisses they have exchanged
have not given her a hold upon him
On the contrary, she has lost the ad
miration he first entertained for her
The roue and the free lance use al
sorts Of arguments to Offset this rea
soning Of mine in my warning to girls
They know II there we're no kissing
fewer girls would be lured along the
downward path.
The kiss should always mean mar
riage to follow. For 1t should be giver
only as a sacred, solemn, sanction o.
betrothal. It means much to the righ'
kind of lovers. The man loves ant
respects her. He Is too fearful OF los
ing her to ask a repetition of the kis!
until it Is given at the altar. No mat
ter how plain a girl may be, II her lip!
are chaste from kissing she can have
her pick of the most desirable Of low
ers. She need never fear that shC
will not be a wife. Allowing kissing
is the best way in the world for a cir
to lose a good lover; after they have
lost in this way they will be sadder
but wiser.

ARE YOU A GOOD SPORT?

There is no good life but love-but love,
What else looks good, is some shade flung
from love;
Love gilds 1t, gives it worth. Be warned
Never you cheat yourself one instant.
Love,
Give love. ask only love-snd leave the

Many a girl has a lover VINO she
knows would be utterly unsuited to her
as her husband. If he is of a lively
turn OF mind, fond Of athletics, think
ing nothing of a five-mile walk, doting
on a baseball game, and a regatta, en-
joying a rollicking good anecdote, he
has no business to take for a wife a
girl who complains bitterly II she has
to walk three blocks. II she does not
enjoy sports she has no sympathy for
those who can. Above all, a man and
a wife should be companionable. If he
starts out for a walk, it's a pleasure for
him to have his wife along If she's
physically unable to do the jaunt that's
another story. If she a stand it, it's
a good thing to provide herself with a
good pair Of shoes, and to take the
tramp with him. She will get to know
him very much better than IL she al.

Horse Put to Mean Use.

Early in the life Of the human race,
or during the paleolithic or stone age,
at least, the horse appears to have
been quite unknown as a beast Of bur.

at that period Of existence travelled
far from home or was possessed OF
any plethora of this worlds goods re-
curing means of transportation. Prob
ably the stone age man knew nothing
of the joys of a brisk gallop at morn
or in the gathering shades of eve, and
at best his horse was physically small
and mean.looking. On the other hand,

There are other couples not 80 diplo-

ICES how easily her disappointment
could have been averted. Pride keeps
her from taking the first step toward
reconciliation. He Is quite as miser-
able as she. There are men who I'M
der such circumstances will hold aloot
from some girls, %plunging with might
and main into business to try to for
get. There are other men who seek
the companionship Of other maidens
after a falling out with their sweet
hearts. In some instances this is
to awake her jealousy. With others
1t is to keep their hearts from har
dening against the feminine sex. A
man can 60 about, here and there,
meet a dozen companions on the street
who are only too eager to accompany
him, here and there. He can fill in
his time from early morn until mid,
night with convivial companions OF
his own sex. whether the moon rises
or storm RACES. A girl may not dc
this. She has more time to think 1t
out and nurse her regrets. 1t is not
every day that she meets a would-be
lover who Is congenial to her.
II her beau stays away q fortnight
q month, and yet another, without
sending her SO much as a line or at
tempting to see her. foolish is the
girl who persists In the belief that the
man is pining away for her. More
than likely he is about to pay court
to some other girl Of whom he is quite
as fond. II a man loves he will make
overtures to be reinstated in her favor
Where there's a will there is always
a way. Prolonged absence should show
a girl that he is not caring to make

Dairy cattle suffer no less than beef
stock. for the tick gets the blood that
should 90 to the making Of milk. Gov
eminent tests show that Q light In
f~estation Of ticks reduces the milk
flow IS per cent: q heavy one as much
as AZ per cent. Translate this loss
into dollars and cents for a herd OF
20 cows, which under normal condi-
lions should each give eight quarts q
day. With milk at five cents per quart
a light infestation costs the owner OF
such a herd 1920 In the course OF zoo
days milking. A heavy infestation
costs him $3.50. In q county where
systematic tick eradication work Is
under way he could dip his herd. free
them from ticks and save this loss for
a total expenditure that would GER
| tainly be no more than $40.
This Is not mere theory; 1t has been
proved In actual practice. One dairy
mans experience is typical. He
owned 40 ticky cows. gave them one
dipping and a week afterwards found
that he had 16.6 per cent more milk.
The daily revenue from the herd
was increased $3.50.
For all the evils that the tick causes
there is a very simple r~emedy-an ar
senical bath.
The work must, however. be sys'
tematic and comprehensive. An UNI
dipped herd is a menace to all the
dipped ones. For this reason the best
results are obtained when a county,
having once voted to undertake eradi
cation, thereafter enforces rigidly the
necessary regulations. To aid 1t In
organizing its campaign and in super
vising the construction of the vat and
the dipping Of the cattle, the United
States department of agriculture sup
plies experienced specialists; the coun
