GOOD MONEY IN FALL PIGS

A. breeder recently in a conversa-
ton with US, stated hat he thought
there were too many breeders who
overlooked the value of a crop of
good fall pigs.
He says: 1.-The litter are always
less trouble at narrowing time. The
sows having taken uniformly good
exercise in running over the farm at
that time of the year are put in the
best condition for easy narrowing, and
almost a surety in saving the litter.
There is generally a crop of fall
grass, as many SOW rye or pasture,
that makes a good. succulent plant
growth for them to feed on and get
the benefit of.
"The sow should be kept on light
feed for a few days before narrowing
so as not to force the milk before it is
needed by the little pigs. They
should be protected from the heat of
the hot sun by a shade of some kind.
After she has narrowed let her be kept
as quiet as possible. A little warm
water with bran sprinkled in it, is all
that she will need from Sc to 4s hours.
AS soon as she needs n feed, she
will let you know. If the SOW is over
fed and too much milk produced, fever
sets up from it, as the pigs will be
unable to take it all. and their suck
ling this fevered milk will soon be
the end of the pigs. Therefore use
special care in seeing that the SOW is
brought through the narrowing period
properly, so as not to force the milk.
If the sow farrows in September one
is too likely to wean the pigs sooner
than he should, on account of rebreed-
ing the SOW again for the March far
row. 1t is necessary to meet these
requirements to get the pigs initiated
as eaters themselves as early as pos
sible. Provide a small trough where
the little fellows will find it and it is
not long until they understand all
about eating. They can be started
with a little sweet milk to which you
can add a small quantity of pig meal.
The pig meal should first be dissolved
in a little cold water, then add some
boiling water and mix with the milk,
which can be either fresh or skim.
DO not overfeed. Always see that
they eat everything up clean and that
the trough is alwaysed clean up. Fall
pigs should be put into good condition
before the cold weather and kept
growing and thrifty without making
them fair. M. Husbandman.

FORAGE FOR HOGS

The United States department II
its News Letter dwells at length upo,
this subject, and although the article
in question applies more particular,
to the northern states, there is much
which can be raised from it by The
hog raiser on the Pacific coast. 1t de.
clares that to make hog production
most profitable the farmer should
provide pasture for his hogs when.
ever possible. The earlier in the year
that green feed can be supplied the
better. Swine of any age relish greer
feed, and it's use always reduce the
cost of producing grains on hogs. Ir
addition, it keeps the animals in good
thrifty condition.
The green crops which can be used
for such pasturage of hogs are nu-
merous and comprise wheat, oats, rye,
barley, rape, Canadian field peas and
vetch. Any of the cereals do we'll
planted singly, or in combination with
rape, peas. or vetch. The pigs should
be turned in to pasture cereal crops
when the plants attain a height of
about six to eight inches, and taken
off when the plants reach such a
height that the pigs begin to spit the
chewed materials from their mouths.
This is because the percentage of
crude fibre, the indigestible part of the
plant, increases rapidly as the plants
grow larger.
The article says: Screen wheat,
oats, rye and barley are generally
classified as carbonaceous roughages.
When young, however, these contain
high percentage of protein and may
be classified as heterogeneous rough
ages in the early stages of growth.
Because the small grains when young
are so nutritious they are ideal plants
to grow for pigs during late fall and
early spring"
Hogs-well bred hogs-are multi
plying all over the Pacific coast. The
days when the rancher believed that
anything vas good enough for hogs
have passed, and with the gradual re-
duction of the losses by cholera, more
and more farmers are turning their
attention to properly raised and fed
hogs, and taking into account the
great value of the manure, and are
bound to find hog raising one of the
best side issues of the modern farm
particularly when fed on the Canadian
field pea.

WHY SOME FARMERS

1t is often asked why one farmer is
more successful than another when
both seem to have equal opportunity
for success. A study of the johnson
county, Missouri, management survey
region with this point in mind has in
Dictated that the reasons for a differ
ence in the degree of success attained
by the different farmers lies in the
following points:
The first is a good sized business.
A mar must have enough land so that
he can use stock and tools with the
greatest efficiency. This mean not
less than 12O acres and not more than
500 acres for general Missouri condi-
tions, the preferable size being be-
tween 200 and 400 acres.
The proper amount and distribution
of capital. The investment should
not vary widely from the average of
the region, either in investment per
acre or in the distribution of invest
ment.
A farming system which furnishes
a maximum amount of labor from
which returns are realized either di-
rectly or indirectly, and which include
a minimum of labor from which no
return is realized. Each workman on
a farm should have provided for him
not less than 100 days of productive
labor. Many farms run much below
these figures.
The second essential is a business
of high quality. The first point in
this connection is crop yields. Yields
should run from average to about
one-ffth above the average for the
region. The man who falls below the
average in yields has an uphill job.
Not only must crop yields be good.
but on farms where some feeding is
done the feeding operations must be
efficient. All classes of live stock
should return at least $l4O for every
500 worth Of feed consumed, if good
wages are to be realized for a mans
time. Some of the best feeders get
much more than this. Some classes
of stock can pay a profit by return
ing less than this, but in general this
rate of return will give good wages
and pay market price for the feed con-
sumed.
A reasonable degree of diversity is
also necessary for successfully operat-
ing a farm. Unless special or unusual
conditions justify a highly specialized
type Of farming "a farm should have
several PURGE of income to depend
on. The cotton farmers of the South
at the time the boil weevil appeared

tirely on the sale of hogs is in bad
shape if the cholera gets his hogs one
year, but if a man has several sources
he can lose n or perhaps two
sources and still have some income.
The most successful farms in the re-
gion studied had from three to seven
or eight sources, probably three to
six sources will give the best results.

ATLANTA TO BAN FIREWORKS
IN CELEBRATION OF JULY 18th

ATLANTA, Ca, May 26.-There will
be little if any noisy fireworks in cele-
bration of the next Fourth of July, and
the kids will be asked to forego their
pleasure out of patriotic motives.
Many cities, including Atlanta, are
planning already to put ban on fire
works, figuring that it is poor patro-
tism to burn up gunpowder for fun
when the government needs all it can
get for the conduct of the war.
The boys will be asked to take the
money they would ordinarily spend for
fireworks and start a fund to buy a
baby bond of the Liberty Loan, which
will help the government a great deal
more than loud explosions.
Another suggestion is that the
Youngsters invest their fireworks mon
ey in garden seed and celebrate the day
in a practical manner by working with
the hoe, at least during the forenoon if
rot throughout the entire day

Graduate Treasurer Of Athletics,
Fred. w. Moore, of Harvard Univers-
ity, touched upon the same subject, al
though from a different angle, recently
when he wroee:
Owing to the suspension of inter-
collegiate contests, it is the plan of the
Athletic Association to promote and
encourage intercollegiate sports, so
far as possible without interference
with military preparation. Until the
plans of the authorities take definite
form, however, it is impossible to org
anize regular competitions. These will
probably take the form of interclass
and scrub contests, and there is no
reason why these teams cannot arrange
occasional informal games or races
with local outside organizations.
1T has been the experience of Eng
land and Canada, both at their uni
versities and with their armies in the
leld, that it is not desirable 10 cut out
athletic sports, however serious the
situation. With long period of prep
aration before us, it is decidedly UNI
necessary and unwise to so here. Even
III the present unsettled condition there
is no reason why we should put an end
to those normal activities which we
may, with entire fitness, continue"
According to the latest official re-
ports close to IT'S cities and towns
throughout the United States are rep
esented in the various baseball leagues
included in the classifcations from
major to class D. In 1914 the same
lists showed that there were elague
teams in about 300 cities or towns.

MANY RUM0RS CONCERNING
ORIGIN OF ATLANTA FIRE

ATLANTA, Ca, May 26.-With the
air already filled with rumors con-
corning the origin of the fire last
Monday which aroused suspicion be-
cause four fires broke out simultan-
eously, thereby allowing the big fire
to gain Roadway while the department
was engaged on the other three in a
section of the city several miles dis
tant. a loud explosion early yesterday
morning in local steel plant started
a fresh crop of reports that German
spies were abroad in the city.
But the actual facts of the explos-
ion, as of the fire, did not sustain
them, for it developed that the explos-
ion was nothing more than loud pu+f
caused by the accidental discharge OF
a large quantity of red hot Stag, and
that the scores of men reported mangl-
ed were only two negroes somewhat
painfully scalded.
AS for the origin of the fire, investi-
CATION has developed the fact beyond
question that it was purely accidental.
The simultaneous breaking out of the
four fires was nothing more than
coincidence, and one of them got be-
h.
yond control while the others were pc
ing extinguished.

TRAINING CA NJ P.
TELLS OF SUCCESS.
WORK BY ATHLETES

NEW YORK, May 25.-That athletic
training and sport are not entirely
eliminated by either war or military
drilling is being demonstrated fire.
ouently these days both at home and
abroad. Reports from the front and
at the various training camps carry
repeated mention of athletic contests,
both team and individual and the daily
physical exercise necessary to harden
the men for the more sedious work of
modern warfare.
A writer in one of the leading Eng
fish papers devoted to sport, states
that the British Home Defence Army
has attained point of efficiency
which would make the invasion of
England an utter and absolute folly
whether the attempt were made from
the sea or air. He claims that the fight
ing men there are of the right sort,
those who do not grasp novelty and
a uniform.
The salient feature of the New Army
he says is its sporting side. Games of
all sorts appeal irresistibly to officers
and men alike and he describes as es-
pecially pleasing their fraternizing
daily in the sporting arenas. He en-
phasizes the fact that while absolute
equality is observed in the several ar
enas no lack of discipline is shown or
attempted by the enlisted men while
away from the athletic fields. During
the games, whether trying conclusions
with the boxing gloves, finishing
close cricket match or contending for
mastery at all-round athletics, the ex-
citement at times is intense. The writ
err goes on to say that during these
struggles the soldiers readily sum up
the character of their officers, and the
officer who excels in sport gains a
very valuable asset-the esteem and
confidence of the men under him.
If for nothing else, therefore the
writer says, the army's sporting side
is to be commended Tor the confidence
it establishes and he is convinced that
after the war, all-round sport will be
resumed on scale unprecedented even
in Great Britain. Judged by general
results, he asserts, the drill-sport cur
riculum has proved invaluable and the
off-duty enthusiasm for sport is proof
OF the intensity of the passion which
athletic games inspire.
