The time for breeding gifts depends
upon their size and vigor as well as
their age. However. 1t is seldom ad-
visable to breed a gilt before she Is
eight months old, and in many cases
ten or twelve months Is better age.

small litter. And II the usefulness OF
the SOW as 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 litters. Then their mann
mary organs do not develop right. and
this In turn affects the size Of litter

cannot raise dozen good pigs. Also
too young sows cannot stand the strain
Of nursing a litter. They do not have

milk and grow ut the same time.

GRACE BAPTIST

The great amount of sickness and
and the bad weather cut down our
attendance in the Sunday School
and in the church services. We
hope all will be back in their place
next Sunday morning so that we
may maintain our good average Of
attendance throughout the entire
year.
The pastor hopes that every young
person will stay for the preaching
service next Sunday morning as the
sermon will be for the young folks.
The subject will be The Stairway
To Success" We will use a chart
Now if you want to make good, let
us find out how by studying together
for twenty minutes next Sunday.
In the evening Rev. MIR. Tompson.
who was at one time pastor of the
Methodist Church in this city, will
speak from our pulpit, in interest
of his work. He is superintendent
of the Anti. Saloon League in this
section of the state Those who
know Mr.. Tompson personally and
have heard him talk, speak very
commercially of him. They say he
is a splendid speaker and doubtless
will have something for us worth
listening to. Come and hear him,
Just at present our deaconS are
trying to ascertain the general opln-
ion of our folks in regard to the
holding of a series of meetings in
the near future. If the member
ship of our own church desire the
meeting enough to support it loyal
ly there is no reason why we should
not enter the meeting. If however
we are indifferent about the matter
would be best to abandon all ideas
of meeting. If meeting is held
it will likely be held during the lat
ter part of next month. Other an
nouncements will be made later
