their mouths. This is because the
percentage of crude fiber, the indiges-
tible part of the plant, increases rap
Idly as the plants grow larger. Green
wheat, oats, rye and barley are gen.
orally classified as carbonaceous
roughages. When young, however,
these contain high percentage of
protein, and should be classified as nj
trogenous roughages in the early
stages Of growth. Because the small
grains when young are so nutritious
and are green when frost has killed
clover, they are ideal plants to grow
for pigs during late fall and early
spring.
Canadian Field Peas.
Canadian field peas, when sown in
conjunction with some other kind of
grain Goats, rye, etc. make an excel
lent early crop for hogs. The seed
should be sown in April or early May,
and If conditions are right the crop
will be ready to pasture in about thirty
or forty days. Hogs clean up the peas
and vines very well. The vines that
are left on the ground, together with
the manure, enrich the soil and add
more humus to it. The great value of
peas as a pasture for swine Is far too
little understood.
Hairy Vetch.
Hairy vetch Is legume Of increas'
ing Importance especially as forage
for hogs. 1t flourishes to surprising
degree in Washington, Oregon and the
southern states. The seed should be
sown in the fall with rye or oats. Oc'
tober is the best month in which to
plant this crop. When the winters are
too severe, vetch is not generally
grown. 1t succeeds wherever Cana
dian field peas do well, but the field
peas are usually preferable.
Rape.
Rape as forage crop is highly rec
commended for hogs whenever it car
be grown successfully. 1t should moi
be planted in the fall Of the year with
the expectation Of its surviving the
winter. In most localities 1t is best
to SOW rape in April or May. If there
is enough moisture in the soil to ger
inmate the seed, it is generally ready
to pasture in about six weeks. Wher

TREATING CUTS AND
INJURIES ON STOCK
Important That Farmer Should
Know How to Handle and
Dress Wounds on Animals.
(By L. s. BACKUS.)
rSt aid is most important.


Quick healing leaves smaller scars.
Don't use dust or lime to stop bleed
ing.
Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will soon stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
prevents prompt healing, and may
cause proud flesh. Small concealed
stab wounds, such as those from nails,
are the most likely to cause death.
Find them and keep them clean and
well disinfected.
Swab out deep cuts with pure tine
ture of iodin as soon as it can be Sc
cured and they will take care of them
selves then If the normal pus discharge
is removed.
A long-continued discharge from a
wound indicates an abscess pocket, a
bone injury, or the presence of a snag
or something else that should not be
in the wound. Call veterinarian.
AS soon as bleeding has been
stopped, wash the wound with pint
of warm water to which two teaspoon
fuls of creolin, lysol, carbolic acid, or
some similar disinfectant has been
added.
A wound should be healed in about
three weeks. If it is doing well the
swelling will gradually go down, and
the discharge will be odorless, thin,
and bloody at first, and thicker and
whittier later.
Antitoxin will prevent lockjaw af-
ter nail or other puncture wounds. Ii
not so prevented, very few of the lock-
Jaw cases ever recover. The hard
crust lime forms over the surface OF
a wound favors lockjaw by shutting
out the air.
Bleeding from leg can always be
stopped by tying small rope loosely
about the wound, then twisting 1T
with a stick or small rod. Tighten till
bleeding stops. Apply bandages and
remove the cord if possible. If band
ages cannot be applied, prevent seri-
Gus bleeding by pressing the fingers
against the cut blood vessels until a
veterinarian can be called.

be turned on the rape until the plants
are at least ten inches high. Rape
Is very satisfactory forage plant for
hogs, because it grows rapidly and is
cheap green feed.
Grain for Hogs on Pasture.
While the cost of producing pork
may be reduced by the use of green
feed, it is desirable to feed grain in
addition. There is no time that grain
can be so profitably fed to a hog as
when he is young and running on pas
ture. Under such conditions it is pos
sible to secure Is pounds of gain for
each bushel Of grain fed. During the
spring, summer and early fall months
from one-half to three-fourths Of a
full feed of grain will be sufficient for
hogs running on pasture.

ATTENTION TO S0WS
BEFORE NARROWING
Animal Does Best When Kept in
Healthy condition-Ayoid
Heavy Corn Feeding.

The way a SOW is handled before
narrowing has much to do with the
value Of her litter, according to the
University Of Nebraska Agricultural
college.
The SOW does best when she is kept
in healthy condition, but is not al
lowed to become too fat. Heavy corn
feeding makes sows fat, and they are
not likely to produce large, healthy
pigs. For this reason, breeding stock
must be separated from fattening pigs
If best results are secured, Feeds
that produce bone and muscle are
best. Any one Of the following ra-
lions, supplemented by alfalfa hay in
the rack, will give good results:

Why Not Use Women
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your recent article in regard to the
cold feet brigade" composed Of young men
who are very anxious to become "feld clerks"
at $4,000 a year in order TO escape the
trenches, impels me 10 inquire why, in the
name of common sense, the government re-
fuses to accept women for such positions,
where there is minimum Of danger, and
patriotism and business experience are es-
sential
Very many, like myself, would be only too
glad to serve our country in such positions,
at seven, eight or nine hundred dollars a
year, even a private soldiers pay. | have

for the transport service, and for any and
every kind Of clerical service at the front,
and have been eurtly refused in every case.
The English government has learned by
experience that women are patriotic and can
work; hence the "Waaes'-thousands Of
them. Apparently the only thing an Ameri-
can girl can do is to let the "eod feet bril-
gade" fiji all such positions for the American
forces, and turn over her own services to
the British front. That is what have about
decided 10 do.

VIC ought to look forward to it in a climate
where the unexpected always happens.
But we don't. We enter perfectly fine

beauty and delight in Petrograd or Fargo,
helpless and shivcrng, unnannclled and
injured.
Do we see our mistake too late ana
rush forth to purchase that fur coat we
have always longed for, or those woollen
socks, or hurry a little non-freezing mkt
ure into the frosted radiator? Over goes
the weather in a neat handspring, and the
volets bloom as we sweter. There is no
