Wednesday night in Atchison. The
bride has a good many friends in To-

from the Atchison Globe is, in part,
as follows:
Miss Helen Elizabeth Hackney and
Erwin Werner Clausen were married
at 7 o'clock last evening at the Pres
byterian church, where the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Hackney.
were united in marriage twenty -eighC
years ago. The marriage ceremony
was pronounced by DR.. w. c. Temple :
ton. of Emporia.
Never in its history did the Presby-
terrain church present such a beauti-
full appearance as last evening. The
brides uncle Elwyn Blair, assisted
by Miss Ethel Carlisle and a number
of the brides girl friends, decorated
the church. A bower was built over
the pulpit The outside of the bower
was formed of evergreens and it was
lined with white and lavender lilacs
Concealed among the blossoms were
electric lights, and on either side of
the bower were large United States
flags. Entirely encircling the body of
the church were lilacs and amid them,
lighted candles. On each pew were
lilacs tied with tulle bows. Chester

pensive equipment. An ideal shelter
must be warm, free from dampness,
well ventilated and with plenty of sun,
shine. Guard against dark, damp,i
filthy stables and manure piles, also
crowding the sows in close quarters.
where they can pile up, causing them
to lose their filters.
Exercise promotes healthy body ac-
tivities and as this is essential in
pregnant sows we must devise some
means of compelling them to exercise,
especially the last few weeks before
narrowing. Lack of exercise causes
internal fat to accumulate, causes con-
stipation and retards normal body ac-
tivities. We can best exercise our
sows by placing at least part of the
feed at the far end of the pen or lot,
causing them to walk to and from the
trough. For the brood sow plenty of
exercise is as essential as a scien-
tifically balanced ration. The sow
when exercising picks up feeds and
mineral matter that she knows is
necessary to her system.
Proper care at narrowing time will
pay the highest dividends. The num-
Der of pigs raised to weaving time is
the basis of computing the value Of
a sow. Sows should be fed immedi-
ately before narrowing the ration that
she will receive after narrowing. This
will prevent any indigestion due to a
sudden change in diet.
A few days before the calendar time
Of narrowing put her in the pen where
she is to farrow and cut down on her
feed. IF feed has been laxative the
sow will come to narrowing time with
little fever and in a good condition.
The pen must be warm enough for
the pigs, but not hot, as is sometimes
the case, because this only tends to
increase the fever and temper of the
sow.
After narrowing, do not feed for
the first "a hours, giving only clean
water Her first meal should be a
thin slop or bran mash. Gradually in
crease the amount until she is on full
feed about ten days after narrowing.
Remember that for many weeks we
are feeding the young pigs through
their mother, and any irregularities in
her system are quickly indicated in
the young.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDER
REQUIRES PRUDENCE
Missouri Farmer Tells How Sheep
Gains Are Made-USe of
Brains Essential.

Mr.. G. G.. Starr of Missouri, who
buys and feeds several thousand lambs
each year, in a talk to Missouri sheep
feeders at the University of Missouri
said:
"To be a successful feeder requires
more use of brains than any other line
Of agriculture.
"The successful feeder must be on
the watch for things to happen In the
pens.
Scare in being punctual with break
fast for lambs will do wonders.
''The greatest trouble we have in
feeding is to induce our partners and
customers to feed plenty.
lambs really do best in dry lots
when the feeding begins too late to
use green blades of corn and grass.
They have disposition to wander, and
will not stay with the feed unless more
or less closely confined.
Enough troughs should be provided
for grain feeding so that all can get all
the grain they desire.
1.-THE water should always be fresh
and clean have plenty of it iii enough
troughs so that sheep can easily drink.
"Plenty of corn is always needed.
Cottonseed meal is very useful, espe-
cially when silage is used. A pound
Of silage per head per day is about
enough"

EXERCISE CARE In
VACCINATING HOGS
Animals Excessively Fat Are Not
Good RiskS-Points to Be
Given Consideration.

(By O. s. CRISLER, Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
When shoats or pigs are heavily in
fected with worms, vaccination may
result in considerable loss.
Hogs that are excessively fat are not
as good risks for vaccination as ami
mails in medium condition.
Farmers must provide proper care
of hogs before and after treatment TO
reduce the risk to a minimum.
Many of the undesirable results fol-
lowing vaccination are due to the con-
dition of the hogs, or to the surround
ings under which they are kept.
The following points in hog manage
ment should be carefully considered:
1. Ascertain beyond doubt whether
or not cholera is present in the herd.
2. Animals stand the excitement ana
shock of vaccination better if the in
festival tract is empty; if free from
parasites; if in medium flesh; if kept
cool during the operation and con-
fined in a clean, disinfected stall, bed
ded with straw while awaiting the IN
JoCL1Ou Ol SoTuIu.
3. The point of incubation must be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
The animals must not be allowed ac-
cess to dirty, filthy wallows before or
after treatment. 1t is impossible to
clean a dirty hog with q small amount
Of antiseptic so that serum can be In
jected with any degree of cleanliness.
Assesses are most often the result OF
the filthiness OF the hogs and not to
any fault of the operator who employs
proper precautions with his syringe
and serum.
4. There must be clean, dust-free
Enclosure for the hogs at the time OF
incubation.
8. Following vaccination hogs must
be kept in clean quarters for at least
two days. Dirty wallows should be
avoided. A good plan is to keep hogs
in a well-bedded stable. The feed
should be laxative in nature. Losses
sometimes follow vaccination in the
| winter months because animals are
placed in damp, filthy quarters.
6. Great care is employed in prepar
ing pure, potent serum. There is lit
tie risk in injecting good serum into
hogs that are properly prepared fol
the operator and properly cared fol
| following it.

By o. B. BENTLEY, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
AS February draws to close, hog
men look forward to one of the most
important times of the year, in fact
the most critical time as concerns the
profits or losses from the years work.
Where the hcgs are concerned large
percentage of pigs narrowed in the
early spring means greater prospects
for the market in the early fall.
Proper management of the brood
sow before and after narrowing is
very important. Investigations show
that so to 80 per cent of all the dry
matter of the unborn litter are de-
posted in the uterus during the last
60 days of pregnancy so that our care
must include this period and feeding
must be done accordingly.
The rations should be increased at
least so per cent over the wintering

PROFIT IN SHEEP BUSINESS
State of Nebraska Made Money by
Buying Flock and Letting Them
Craze on Fair Grounds.

The state of Nebraska went into the
sheep business last year and made
money in it. The state board of agri-
culture purchased 239 ewes in April TO
Craze on the state fair grounds and
keep down weeds and grass. Usually
it has cost the state several hundred
dollars to keep the grounds trimmed,
and this year not a dollar was paid out
and the grounds were In excellent
shape.
These ewes cost $1,S57.15 laid down
at the fair grounds. Not more than
$40 was paid for feed during the sum
mer and the shearing cost $2S.32. Inc
wool clip netted $439.52. and the tocH
sold in the fall for $2,295.
