Save the SoNws-

Selling q brood SOW at this time, ae-
cording to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture Is like killing the
goose that laid the golden eggs.
When pork is selling at 1S cents or
more a pound on the hoof, the hog
breeder may be tempted to turn into
cash all that he can sell; yet the de-
partment points out that the value of
brood SOW which will produce such
high-priced offspring is proportionately
increased and she should be kept as
the source of further and future prof
It's.
Breeding stocks are being depleted,
and the department says that the situ-
alton is already critical and threatens
to become very serious if the country
continues to be drained of its meats.
Hogs furnish meat more quickly and
cheaply than other stock can; the
meat shortage therefore, can most
readily be met by swine production.
1t has been calculated that the possi-
BILE increase from one SOW is LOOP
pigs In four years, on the suppOsition
that all litters consist of six pigs, that
all live, that half are females. and that
each gilt should farrow at one year
and every six months thereafter.
Another cause Of the depletion Of
breeding stocks is probably In the high
cost Of feeds. While concentrated
feeds have gone up, the department
says that some Of the expense of car
rying breeding stocks may be cut
down by the use of green fall forage
crops, pasture. alfalfa or clover hay.
Brood sows may be maintained in fair
condition Mt comparatively little ex-
pense by the use Of such feeds. In
brief. the department strongly recon-
mends campaign to save the sows
as one means Of helping to meet the
threatened meat shortage.

Trim Bones Out Of Beef.

Boneless beef is now being shipped

The dualpurpose cattle are popular
with the small farmer who keeps but
few cattle and must depend on them
TO produce all the milk and butter
needed for the family and. at the same
time, raise calves or steers which will
sell readily for slaughtering purposes.
They have not been popular with the
ranchman or farmer who raises large
numbers of cattle.

Farmers Bulletin, "Swine Manage
ment," recently issued by the United
States department OF agriculture.
Breeding stock does not thrive SO
well and is not so prolific on an e1-
elusive corn diet as ON a varied ration
forage, at the same time, Is becoming
more and more important In hog rnis-
ing. These facts are giving to the
South an increasing importance as a
hog producing section In this re-
gion peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans, and
velvet beans may be had In abundance
for hog feeding
The recognition Of the fact that an
exclusive corn diet Is not necessary in
raising hogs is also emphasizing the
desirability Of increased hog raising in
dairy districts, where skim milk and
buttermilk are available; in trucking
sections, where unmarketable products
may be fed; and In irrigated regions,
where alfalfa may be used for forage.
The bulletin points out that persons
taking up hog raising for tn e first
time will find 1t advantageous to locate
In hog raising community where
they may profit by contact with hog
raisers Of experience. 1t is also
pointed out that If hog raisers Of a
community can bring about the pro-
duction in their district of n certain
grade or breed Of hog by all producers,
marketing difficulties will be greatly
lessened. The marketing of hogs at
weights ranging from $50 10 300
pounds usually will bring the greatest
profit, according to the department
specialists.

Fattening steers on grass and cot
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
feed. The use of small amount of
corn in addition to the cottonseed cake
has proved profitable.

HOG RAISING PROFITABLE.

the Country.
Whether in the corn belt, the dairy
sections, the South, or the irrigated
regions Of the West, conditions for the
profitable raising Of hogs are almost
sure to be present, according to animal
husbandmen of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. 1t is, in fact,
almost safe to say that whatever the
soil or climatic conditions, there Is not
"a farm in the country on which there
should not be hogs. This is especially
true at present when producers may
obtain high prices for hogs. Matters
that should be taken into consideration
in hog raising. and methods that have
bsen found profitable are outlined In q
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1917-12-06

There is no section Of the country
which can produce cattle more cheap
ly than the South. for the lands are
still cheap, the grazing is good, the
pasture season is long, feed can be
produced at a minimum cost, and in
expensive shelter only is required for
the animals during the winter months.

Good pastures are essential for prof

grasses over the waste lands and care
for 1t as If it were regular money

More care is necessary in fattentns
calves than in feeding grown cattle,
but, whenever possible. 1t is best to
raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm.

Say Beer and Light Wines Really
Temperance Drinks
The United States Brewers associa-
ton fred the first gun in an advertis-
ing campaign to tell the public that
there is no connection between the
brewing Of light beers and the distilla-
ton of hard liquors. The brewers
wish to dissociate beers from distilled
liquor and impress upon the public
that beer and light wines are really
temperance drinks.
Editors Note: 1t took the brewers
long time to reach the above conclu-
sion, and temperance folks have not
much faith in the brewers and their
statements

Seed Corn Situation

The seed corn situation is critical.
There is such a scarcity of good seed
corn in Wisconsin that all farmers OF
Sank county who have not a supply OF
good seed corn on hand for next year
planting should purchase home
grown seed corn if possible. There
are many farmers in Sank county who
have a surplus of good seed. Seed
houses are now offering to sell seed
corn at from three to five dollars
bushel, but this is not Wisconsin
grown corn. I am now collecting in
formation as to the available seed in
the county and shall furnish, on re-
quest, the names and addresses of per-
sons who have seed corn to sell. Do
not delay. Let us know your wants at
once. The most important factor In
the production Of good corn crop
next year may be the purchase OF good
homegrown seed corn. Those who
have seed should ear test it early.

How Hard We Editors Have to Work
You have no idea what a nerve-rack-
ing business this is-editing. Here's
H. H. Pease, for instance, a brother
editor. His paper is the Times Of
Beemer, Nebr. Brother Pease has
adopted what is probably the most
novel means of boosting the circula-
ton of his paper ever put into practice
by an editor. Each year he issues a
challenge to the farmers of his COM
munity on the subject Of ROSTERS. He
proposes to give d years subscription
to his paper-for every rooster that es-
capes him in fair and open chase. II
he catches the fowl, according to the
agreement, he is to receive the rooster
as his own and the farmer agrees to
subscribe to the Times. His annual
rooster hunt is a great vent. The edi-
tor is accompanied by several business
men who look after their own inter
ests, from four to six days being given
over to covering the territory adjacent
to Beemer.
In the six years that he has been
catching ROSTERS, the Nebraska editor
has caught 458 fowls, losing only two.
Last year he captured a total Of 81
roosters, which meant an addition of
eighty-one subscribers and many re-
newals to his list.
His family lives on chicken three
times a day if they SO desire, while the
farmers derive considerable pleasure
from watching the efforts of the editor
to- catch their fowls.

Caledonia Incident

A woman neighbor Of ours living on
the hill gave dinner to some friends
and her two married daughters and
their husbands. When called to din
ner the company beheld table set
with an ample abundance OF well
cooked and finely favored food. All
gathered around the feast. One said
to the giver of the dinner, "How far
back from the table must | get, on
having eaten enough?" This made the
ly and plentifully of the dinner, and
some cast wishful eyes twice at some
untasted dish. Once they had so much
and once again they couldn't eat just
a wee mite more.
Mother" said one Of the daughters,
"what is that bubbling, sputtering
noise? Have you anything on the back
kitchen stove?"
The mother stared a moment, then
threw up her hands skyward and hur-
ried from the room. After while she
returned bearing on platter a noble
looking plum pudding. Setting it
down, she looked around upon her
guests and asked, "And how did We
all like your pudding?"
The guests with one accord just
groaned. L. A. DUDLEY.
