GOOD PROFIT IN
PORK PRODUCTION
CAREFUL FEEDING AND MANAGE.
MENT URGED BY COUNTY
DEMONSTRATION AGENTS.
FARM BOYS INTERESTED
AGRICULTURAL Club Members Learn
How To Properly Feed
the Sow and Her
Litter.

College Park, Md, April 19.-The
Importance of pork production Is be-
ing urged by county demonstration
agents. Particularly, in the boys ag,
ricultural clubs great interest Is be
ing aroused and large number OF
members are enrolling in profitable
pig growing contests. These young
sters are busy discussing the instruc-
tions furnished their county agents by
DR.. S. 8. Buckley, specialist. in live
stock work for the Maryland Agricul-
tural Extension Service. DR.. Buckley
says, regarding the feeding OF young
pigs:
"If the SOW has had proper feed and
care she will have plenty OF milk for
her pigs, and the pigs will take just
about all she can supply. But the
pigs are getting older and larger day
by day, and require more feed. Fin
ally the pigs will notice that the feed
which is given to the SOW tastes good,
and they will begin to eat little
from the trough. You should prepare
ahead for this time, by making parti-
ton in the pen with the bottom raised
high enough from the floor to let the
pigs get under, and strong enough to
keep the SOW on her side of the pen.
In the part prepared for the pigs place
a small trough. You then are ready
to feed the pigs some special feed-a
side dish. Skim milk or thin slop
made with middlings or bran, soup
made by boiling corn, peas or beans
and thinned down with water, or in
fact, any grains that contain no hard
hulls or indigestible portions will sat
isfy and benefit the pigs. Never feed
1t sour.
Keep the trough and pen clean,
and always have enough straw or
other litter for warm bed. AS the
pigs get older and require more feed,
give it to them. Never give them
more than they will clean up. If you
do-remove it at once-wash the
trough and feed little less next feed
ing time. Don't get them fat, sleepy
and lazy-but feed them to make
growth-aim to make them longer and
broader and in good condition, but
not fat. When the pigs look thin
both front and rear, but fat around the
middle, you know your method of feed
ing is wrong. Such pigs need more
peas, beans, alfalfa, clover and less
corn, whether this corn is actually fed
to them or whether they find it. Give
them chance to Craze and get exer-
else, and see to it that they take it.

a PATRON OF ART.
He Was q Good Buffer, but De Wint
Called His Hand.


Peter de Wint, the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have a semiprivate show of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, of course, ap-
pcarcd at the public exhibition marked
Sold"
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron of art and at the same time to
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly adnliring the paintings already
sold He was always bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him most
and, having seen them. he could never
content himself with less beautiful
works.
De Wint at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round lie concluded to test him.
After plenty Of time had been allowed
for De Nint's friends to make their
purchases. the rilh man arrived. AS
usual, his eye soCn fell on two "per-
feet gems" marked Sold" Turning to
the artist, he said, Now, De Wint,
those are exactly the things should
like to possess; what pity they are
not to be had

WHY QUARANTlNE2

College Park, April 19.-In purchas-
ing livestock from outside his com.
munity the Maryland farmer is urged
to prevent any possibility of disease
contagion by quarantining his stock.
In a statement issued by the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station
the following suggestions are made:
"In this age when there is so much
danger of carrying disease to healthy
livestock through new purchases we
would suggest that importers of live
stock establish their own quarantine.
This can be done with. very little ex-
pense and be very effective without
making a great deal Of extra labor.
A yard with an open shed, Southern
exposure, being all that is necessary,
as here new livestock can be confined
for a period of time. Twenty or thirty
days is sufficient to satisfy the owner
that they are carrying no disease.
"This we believe Is the season for
the largest importations Of the various
species of livestock, and while this
stock may come from good sanitary
quarters and arrive in an excellent
condition, still with the amount of
shipping there is being done we can
not be certain that the animals have
not come in contact with infected
quarters en- route.
ITO guard against this spreading of
disease and infection of local stock,
we would advise every importer,
whether the distance be short or
great, to prepare his quarantine
quarters, where new stock may be
kept isolated from stock already on
the place for three to four weeks, thus
giving any infection they may be
carrying an opportunity to develop
without danger to acclimated stock.
IF one man must care for both the
stock on the place and that quaran.
tined, he should care for the stock
belonging to the place first and after.
ward the quarantined lot and thus
avoid going directly from the quaran
tined lot to the cattle already on the
place This gives natures sunlight
with her strong disinfection power an
opportunity to lessen the danger OF
carrying infection and by thus aiding
nature in the prevention of the spread
of disease you will also be reducing
your own troubles along that line tt
minimum
Specific suggestions for individual
reeds will gladly be made by calling
al the Maryland Agricultural Expert
ment Station. or an inquiry by letter
win receive prompt attention"

Bows and Girls.

The difference is apparent early. A
boy has as much fun in stoning cat
as a girl has in hunting for violets
A boys curiosity is directed to the ice
box; a girl would like to see what is in
the top bureau drawer.
A girl can give the impression when
away from home that her parents are
wealthy; a boy cannot.
A girl is never so young that she will
reveal to guests at a party that the
spoons are borrowed; boy child never
grows so old that he fails to.
Give boy dollar, and he will eat
it; give his sister one, and she will
wear it.
When brothers fight it is over the
larger share of pie. When sisters quar-
rel one has worn something belonging
to the other without asking permis-

ner: Suppose you save $3.50 year, or
about So a week. You could do that
and not suffer. Invest that money In a
sound 8 per cent security. During the

giving you an increase Of $1.25 a

year you will have $515 working for
you.
"At the close of the fourth year you
will have a capital invested of $1,092,
which during the fifth year will give
you S65, or more than S. month. OF
course each year is adding to your
principal and your income. When the
eighth year comes to an end you will
possess capital Of S2,47O. which during
the ninth year will earn $l4S, or more
than $12 a month, and that is not an
amount to laugh at.
cat the end of the twentieth year
you have $0.1SO, which during the fol-
lowing year will earn $3.50, or more
than $45 a month. When that year
closes you will possess capital Of prac-

A Woman Did II.

A lesson to landlords is this. A wo-
man did it. She wanted the house pa
pered. The landlord talked about the
paper shortage and took his rent and
went.
The next month when he called he
found the house beautifully papered.
He was pleased and said so. The wo-
man smiled. She walked to the wall
and moved a picture aside. Beneath
the picture was a gTimy square Of the
old paper The woman had papered
around every picture in the house. As
she paid the months rent she gave no.
tice that she would move the next
month.-Philadelph North American.

Why Constipation Iniurcs.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed
into the system, making you feel
dull and stupid, and interfering with
the digestion and assimilation OF
food. This condition is quickly re-
lieved by Chamberlain's Tablets.

from the fish he had caught at Chertsey
it was only fair to the descendants OF
those fish that he in return should be-
come their food. He therefore desired
that. his body should be cast into the
