TO prevent any possibility Of disease
oontagion by quarantining his stock
In q statement issued by the Mary.
land Agricultural Experiment Station
the following suggestions are made:
I'm 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 e1-
psnse and be very effective without
making q great deal Of extra labor.
4 yard with an open shed, Southern
exposure. being all that Is necessary,
~ here new livestock can be confined
for q period OF time. Twenty or thirty
days Is sufficient to satisfy the owner
that they arc 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 como 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
III 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 Guaranteed lot and thu.
avoid going directly from the Quaran
tned lot to tho cattle already on thu
place. This gives natures sunligh
with her strong disinfection power al
opportunity to lessen the danger o
carrying infection and by thus adm
nature in the prevention OF the spres
Of disease you will also be reducin
your own troubles along that line t

CAREER SEEKING WOMEN.
One Hundred Day Flock to Ne"
York Tempting Fate.

YORK emPtin9 RATE
One hundred women a day come ca
reer seeking in New York city. This Is
the figure furnished by Director {. b.
Barns Of the state bureau OF employ
ment. He bases his estimate upon the
number OF women handled daily by
the Travellers Aid, the number regis
tered at hotels and those registered by
the state bureau and other employ
ment agencies.
One hundred women Il day, Sc 800 a
year. A fraction over four every hour;
approximately one every time the min
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
mark.
Mr.. Barns estimates that large per-
centage OF career seekers come from up
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably 90 per cent. he
SAYS, come from western states. The
smallest portion of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed; more

gasoline, William Lands. a powerful
young swimmer, saved the lives of
three children in a launch encircled
by the flaming fluid that spread over
a large area of Rancocas Greek when
several gallons of the liquid exploded
as the launch owner was lowering a

The owner had tied his launch to
the bridge while he went to a nearby

Of the boat. He dived deep, swan

importance Of pork production Is be-
ing urged by county demonstration
agents. Particularly, in the boys ag,
Hcultural clubs great interest Is be-
ing aroused and q large number OF
members are enrolling in profitable
pig growing contests. These young
stsrs are busy discussing the instruc-
tons 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:
III 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
pies are getting older and larger day
BY day, and require more feed. Fin
ally the pigs will notice that the feed
which IL given to the SOW tastes good,
and they will begin to eat a 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
= small trough. You then are ready
- feed the pigs some special feed-a
side dish. Skim milk or thin slop
made with middlings or bran, a 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
It sour.
Keep the trough and pen clean,
and always have enough straw or
ether litter for a warm bed. AS the
pigs get older and require more feed,
give It to them. Never give them
more than they will clean UP. II you
6o-remove 1t at once-wash the
trough and feed little less next feed
ing time. Don't get them fat, sleepy
and LAYOUT feed them to make

ut fat When the pigs look thin
both front and rear. but fat around the
middle, you know your method Of feed

corn. whether this corn is actually fed
% them or whether they find it. Give
them a chance to Craze and get exer-
