THE FIRST STEP

Usually the first indication of
lowering of health is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrong--we eat too much, or work
too hard-and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising IN
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with bad taste, 4 slight
headache, dull eyes-all show that
food has fermented in the intes-
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead OF
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels a fresh start.
Encourage the liver to go to
work. Manalin does all of this,
without gripping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Natures
plan, without discomfort, miiarn-

stipation may be overcome with

UNIFORM Pig CROP
One of the First Considerations
in Selecting Original
Herd.

Many Judges of Swine Regard Good

!y High in Fecundity-Male
Is Half the Herd.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In feeding hogs for the market, as
also with any other class of meat ami
mails, larger returns are obtained when
the stock is as nearly uniform as pos
Sible, and us it is very profitable for
each farmer to breed his own feeders,
particular attention should be given
to the selection of the original breed
Ing stock. Uniformity is of primary
Importance, for to have uniform
crop of pigs there must be uniformity
in the breeding herd, and to obtain this
must be one of the first considerations
In selecting the original herd.
The Sows.
The females of the herd may be OBJ
talned by purchasing bred sows or
gifts safely in pig to boar of rec
ognized worth. AS it is often difficult
TO obtain n sow which has shown her
self to be n good breeder by the previ-
Gus litters she has produced. it is ad-
visable for economy's sake to purchase
bred gifts. These should be about
twelve months old, being bred after
the age of eight months, and if pOsSi-
BILE all should be in pig to the same
boar. Here is the first opportunity to
practice selection for uniformity;
whether pure-bred or not, the sOws
should be similar in color. marking,
type and conformation. The type of
the sOws selected should be the one
which the market demands. While
there is some variation between the
different breeds, it is largely matter
of characteristics, as good individual,
no matter what breed it represents, if
properly fed and managed will make
economical gains.
Conformation.
In conformation Il brood sow should
show first of all femininity. This is
well marked in the hog if Il close OBJ
servation is made, and is characterized
by quality and refinement in all parts
of the body. The bristles are finer and
less erect than those of the boar. CIV
ing the SOW smoother appearance.
The forehead is smoother, the neck
much thinner. and n little longer in
proportion to the rest of the body. The
shoulders are not as heavy, although

for as yet no line of breeding Is aoso-
luteIv pure, but by selecting the so"s
In this manner, the chances Tor UNI
formity are immeasurably increased
Some mistakes are bound to be made'
and Hneir correction will be difhcuit'

mind, and the Atock must constantly
approach nearer t. .hat one iGtal in
order to make any rea, Progress. 1t Is
relatively easy to produce hogs, but tc
produce uniform hogs, hogs that VIII
build up and advance the breed, re-
quires time and constant effort.
The Boar.
The farmer who lives in communl-
ty where it is possible TO obtain the
services of q good boar, and who has
only few sows. will not find it prof
liable To keep male simply for use In
his own herd. However, if he has six
or more sows, or if it is impossible to
get the use of his neighbOr's boar when
necessary, it will be well to purchase
one of his own. 1t is often desirable
To delay the purchase of the boar until
some time after the original female
stock has been selected. If the gifts
were bred at the time of their pur-
chase, the service of a boar will not be
needed until several months later,
when it is necessary to breed for the
second lot of pigs. This is not only a
saving of money at the time of start
ing the herd, when expenses are apt to
be very heavy, but it also gives the
breeder time to study the original sows
along with their offspring and select
boar that will correct their faults.
There is hackneyed but neverthe-
less true expression that the male Is
half the herd" He really does repre-
sent 30 per cent of the breeding stock,
and therefore is the most important
individual in the whole herd, but
granting that he forms half, the sows
most certainly constitute the other
half. even though their influence Is di-
vided into several parts. Certainly
both halves are equally important and
neither can well be neglected at the
expense of the other.
1t is well to select boar at least
eight months old, for the selection of
a weanling pig that will mature into
the kind of breeding animal demanded
in any particular case is very difii-
cult and precarious undertaking. In
selecting the male, aim to correct any
faults which may be present in the
conformation of the sOws. These faults
may be discovered in the several
months between the first purchase of
the bred gifts and the time when 1t is
necessary to breed again for the sec
Ond litter. 1t is seen here why uni
formity is of such Importance in the
herd, for the common fault of the sOws
may be corrected in the offspring by

are not unifOrm-if, for example, one
has high quality with lack of scale.
while another has the opposite char

GARDEN POINTS FOR WINTER
Unless Ground Is Too Wet or
Frozen-Mulch Strawberries.

(By L. NJ. MONTGOMERY. Ohio Univer-
sity.)
If the ground is not too wet or frOZ-
en-, continue to spread manure freely
and turn it under. FAN plOwing will
assist in making the organic matter
available. Ii will also bring to the
surface multitudes of the larvae OF
harmful insects and will cover up 9th
ers normally nearer the surface so as
to prevent their emergence next
spring.
Mulch the strawberry bed. after the
ground freezes, with three or four
inches of coarse straw. This will pro-
tect the plants from alternate freez-
ing and thawing. When partially
raked aside in the early spring. the
mulch will serve to retain the moisture
and also keep the fruit clean.
The tops Of the asparagus bed
should be cut, thrown into the fire and
burned by this time. After the grounC
freezes apply heavy coat of manure.
Three or four inches will not be too
much to apply.

Selection.

If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd, for in
this manner IT is easier to get uni
formity. Uniformity goes deeper than
the mere visible type or conforma-
ton; it is determined by past ancestry
and is controlled by the characteristics
contained in the germplasm. The
germplaSm is continuous, extending
from individual to individual, and any
member of the chain shows in its vsi-
BILE conformation only q few of the pos
sible combinations. In other words, a
sow may not produce offspring similar
in type to herself, unless her ancestors
were of the same type. BY selecting
the sOws from one herd, il is not only
possible to choose animals similar in
visible type. but they are apt to be
similar in dormant characteristics as
well. In buying such animals the farm
er is not purchasing separate individu-
ais to form so many breeding units,
but rather kindred individuals, all
parts of single established line or
type which will blend together to form
n single breeding unit.
At best, 1t is Impossible to choose
Tensas gazette., 1917-12-28

Chey must not be narrow, for such a
condition is an indication of lack Of
constitution. BY no means accept any
breeding animal that is narrow-chest-
ed. for it is sure indication Of lack
Of vitality and consequently of breed
Ing ability. Ample capacity in the
middle should be provided by we'll
sprung ribs. and long, deep sides.
Many judges of hogs regard good
roOmy sOws as being especially high in
fecundity, and this characteristic is
certainly no detriment to their cOnfor
nation. provided it is combined with
quality.
A sow should show the type demand
ed in market animal. namely,
strong, wide, deeply fleshed back !;
smoothly covered shoulders; plump,
well-rounded hams; and a trim, neat
underline. A wide. well-developed pei
vic cavity will insure easy parturition,
and the udder should be evenly and
well developed and have at least IL
teats. Her legs should be strong and
well placed, have good clean bone, and
strong, straight pasternS. 1t is not of
as great importance to have perfect
feet and legs in SOW as in male
but she should show no weakness at
this point. A sow should have scale
and size. combined with quality.
Strong, clean, hard bone, trim joints.
neat ears. fine, glossy bristles, and
skin, are all indications of quality. A
large, raw-bOned sow, having plenty of
capacity and size. but lacking in fem
ininity and quality, is one of the poor
est investments n breeder can make,
for her pigs will be slow to develop,
hard to fatten, and lacking both In
numbers and in uniformity.
