SMALL LITTERs FROM gifts
Time for Breeding Depends Largely on
Size, vigor and Aoc--LiabIe to
BE Stunted.

The time for breeding gifts depends
upon their size and vigor as well as
their age. However, 1t is seldom adj
visable to breed a gilt before she Is
eight months old, and in many cases
ten OF twelve months is a better age.
What is gained by getting litter OF
pigs soon may be lost In getting a
small litter. And II the usefulness of
the SOW as a brood sow be impaired
the total loss In the end overbalances
the gain in getting her to produce
early.
Too young gifts almost invariably
have small filters. Then their mann
mary organs do not develop right, and
this In turn affects the size Of litter
they will raise next time. If a sow
gives milk out of only six teats she
cannot raise a dozen good pigs. Also
too young sows cannot stand the strain
of nursing litter. They do not have
the vitality to produce large flow Of
milk and grow at the same time.
If a gilt is once really stunted In this
way she never develops as she other
wise would. She is likely never to
raise such strong and vigorous Filters
as she could If allowed more maturity
before breeding.

STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Made Quite PaIatabie by Mixing Will
Beets, Mangels, Silage and other
Forage Crops.


In effect, recent bulletin of the
United States department of agricul-
ture asks why the American farmer
cannot put straw to the same use as
1t Is put by the European farmer. In
Europe the farmer knows as well as
the American farmer that straw is not
liked by stock, but instead of burning
II, or otherwise wasting 1t, the Euro
pean farmer chops 1t up, mixes 1t with
beets, mangels. silage or other feeds,
and makes 1t so palatable that 1t can
be fed to good advantage.
The report states that the bureau of
crop estimates has found that 10 per
cent of the straw produced In the
United States is burned. In many dis
trIcts there are no cattle and remote
ness from a suitable market makes the
sale of the straw Improbable. But in
such cases farmers would profit by an
investment In few cattle.

is certaia and 1t will be profitable TO
the farmer to market some Of this
heavy grain supply on the hoof.
The increase In the number of hogs
for various states, as recommended by
the department, is ms follows: Mis-
souri,, so per cent; Alabama, 30; Iowa,
25; Kansas Is; Indiana, 20; Illinois,
20; Mississippi, 20; Arkansas, 20;
South Carolina, 10; Ohio, Is; Ken
lucky, Is; Tennessee, Is; Maryland,
10; North Carolina, 10; Michigan, 10;
Nebraska, 10; West Virginia, 5, and
Georgia, 5. The increase needed for
the entire country is 10 per cent, and
Is covered by the above schedule. 9th
er states than those named should
breed no fewer sows than last year.
The result of these increases will be
to provide sufficient animals to make
the meat that Is absolutely essential
to the feeding of our armies.
Pork Easy to Transport.
Pork can be transported more read
lily and economically to troops In the
field than can any other meat. Great
supplies of bacon must go to the boys
in khaki at the front. Unless now a
larger number of sows are bred, the
amount of meat we will require next
year will not be available.
The estimated number of hogs is A.
000$00 less than 1t was year ago In
this country; and In the face of this
we need more hogs than ever before.
How can we get them? By breeding
sows at once.
The expectation of pork products
has increased since the war began and
will continue to increase during the
length of the war. The foreign coun-
tries are devoting their farming en-
ergies to food and feed rather than
live stock production, but they must
have meat and they must get a large
part of this supply from us.
Price Is Doubled.
During the last three months the
price Of hogs in the United States has
been, on the average, more than twice
as much as the average price for the
five years from 1911 to 1915. In view
of the large crops of feedstuffs In
sight, however, it believed that farm
ers will see the wisdom Of taking ev-
cry reasonable step to increase the
supply Of hogs and hog products.

BETTER PROTECTION
FOR GAME is URGED;
Number of Shooting Seasons
Shortened and Killing of
Many Birds Prohibited.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The perpetuation of migratory birds
and game was made the subject OF
over 200 separate state and other laws
passed in 1917, according to the sum
mary of game laws of that year issued
by the bureau Of biological survey,
United States department of agricul-
ture. Thirty-eight of the forty-three
states which held legislative sessions
made more or less extensive changes
In their game laws. Several codited
their statutes and effort to bring open
seasons for migratory birds to con-
form to the federal regulations was
widespread A number of shooting
seasons were shortened and in some
states the killing of such birds as sage
grouse, quail, prairie chickens, wild
turkeys, doves and shore birds was
prohibited in certain localities for sew
eral years. The Mount Mckinley park
in Alaska was made federal game
reservation. Forty state game pre-
serves were established by state ac'
ton in ten states as follows: Sixteen
in California, six each In Montana and
Wyoming, four in Arizona, three In
Idaho and one each in Oklahoma, Ore
gon, Tennessee, Washington and Wis
consin.
Changes in laws affecting big game
were largely directed toward protect
ing deer, elk, antelope and sheep.

PLANTING OF TREES
SHOULD BE DELAYED
Little or No Root Action Takes
Place Until Surface of Ground
Begins to Freeze.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Because of probable injury by loss
of vitality fall planting of fruit trees
should be delayed until late November
or early December. In sections Of the
North where cold weather prohibits
planting at that time it is usually best
to wait until spring. Apple trees can
be set out with safety in the fall far
Their north than peach trees and other
less hardy kinds.
At the Missouri experiment station
it recently has been shown that little
or no root action takes place with fall
planted trees until the surface of the
ground has begun to freeze, and the
trees planted early in the fall may lose
considerable vitality before they begin
root action.

That soda I've has no value either

In the tests that were made by de-

Meat Problem Is Most important
Problem of War.
FOOD ESSENTIAL FOR ARMIES
Breeding Animals Must Reproduce
Themselves So Offspring viii Be

ket Grain on Hoof.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
To raise more hogs, to get more
meat to help win the war, Is one Of the
important food problems of the coun-
try now. To supply this need, hog
breeding must be increased materially
throughout the country, federal Off
Gals declare, and in certain states an
increase of rs to so per cent In the
number of hogs on farms is recon-
mended by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The situation Is of great Importance.
We must have plenty of meat for our
armies and the armies of the allies In
the field, and sufficient meat for our
civilian population and the civilian
population of the allies at home.
To have this meat, breeding animals
must reproduce themselves, so the off
spring will be available for slaughter
in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker than
any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a larger number Of sows
must be bred now, than In recent
years.
Abundance of Feed Crops.
In addition to the fact that there
Is an imperative demand for more meat
as a war measure, it should be taken
into consideration that we now have
an abundance of feed crops-corn,
oats and barley-with which to pro-
duce this necessary increase in the
number of hogs. The demand for meat
