where? Do you know that we are disbursing today from the eXchequers of this fraternity in excess of a mil lion and a half a year in this great humanitarian work? Do you know that twenty states are maintaining homes filled with the orphans of our deceased brothers and for the aged brothers and sisters of their do- mains? Do you know that there are l5O elegant Pythian castles being built and dedicated every year to the cause of Pythianism? But this is only part of our record.
 Tn the insurance department of
 this fraternity. with its 72,OOO mem bers, there has been disbursed ap- proximately forty-one million dollars that have gone to the widow and the orphan of departed brethren of this
 fraternity. and through that depart
 ment today there is being disbursed approximately one and three quarter
 millions annually and there is being
 stored in the eXchequer of that de- Ipartment annually the sum of Sl,-
 100000 this splendid sum being in vested in the best class of securities offered in America.
 Since the reorganization of that department the reserve has increased to nearly eight millions of dollars. It is a record of which any fraternity
 may feel proud. Eight millions dis
 bursed since fifty years have gone by : for the relief of those dependent on
 us. Twenty millions in the subordi =
 lnate lodges and eight millions in the , insurance department tO meet the
 claims that must come as the years
 follow.
 There are 90,O0O Pythans in the
 ,great state of Ohio, my own loved , state. There are in the supreme , domain three quarters Of million , iand the army is rapidly growing. Tn the auxiliaries of the order . there are approximately 4O,ooC
 Knights of Khorassan. 1S0,000 Py- , thian Sisters, 72,OoO policy holders ir the insurance department and in OuI ! Uniform Rank there are between , thirty and forty thousand who have f taken the obligation of the Army

keep our sows gaining an average OF
a pound day each during the 112 to
118 days of CESSATION. We can accom-.
plish this by proportioning the amount
of feed to the weight of the sows,
which are carried in lunches of about
twenty. However, there is consid.
cradle variation in individual gains.
OF course, the sOws lose in weight at
narrowing and during the time they
suckle their pigs.
There is always an attendant with
the sow when she farrows, which is
frequently at night. All circumstances
are noted, especially the number of
pigs, and how many, if any, are far
rowed weak or dead. The pigs are
weighed when they are one week old.
at which time they are also marked.
We mark each pig by punching and
nicking the ears in such a way that
we can read the number of his dam
almost as easily as if it were branded
on his side. A nick at the root of the
right ear means one, at the middle
two, at the outside tip three, at the in
side tip four, and a hole punched. in
the center five. A combination of the
hole 90 and any one nick q, 2, 3

I'm 1904 we started with herd Of
Duroc brood sows. By 1907 we had re-
placed our grade herd with the
progeny of these. Our present herd
consists of Is registered sows, with a
normal annual production of about
seven hundred pigs, all eligible to
record.
Each brood SOW in the herd has a
number. For Identification purposes an
aluminium band. stamped with her
number. is placed in each of her ears.
These seldom have to be referred to,
but they are there if we want them,
and make our breeding operations in
dependent of any one man, including
myself.
"A carefully tabulated record is
kept of the conformation of every ami
NAL in the breeding herd, covering in
all over thirty physical characteris-
tics.
Before the breeding season each
sow is listed on separate form in a
locse-leaf book. This form is designed
for the keeping of a complete record
OF the SOW and her litter from the time
she is bred until her pigs are weaned.
"Her name. age and herd number
are entered, together with the date Of
listing, and her weight and condition
at that time. Then. after careful con.
sideration of her pedigree, cOnforma,

THE two foregoing principles are
simple in their conception and easily
understood, but the practical applica.

find that they are utilized by men who
buy and mate even high-class animals
and sell the produce. They are not
constructive breeders because they
never get beyond their starting point.
