SOWS SHOULD FARR0W IN
EARLY SPRING AND FALL
Pigs Can Then Take Advantage Of
Grazing cropo and Avoid Extremes
ct Congratulated CT Sow
Nseds Carefu! Regulation.


In Louisiana the breeding OF sows
should be so timed that the spring lie
ters will come about the first VI
March and the fall nttcrs about the
first OF September. At these times OF
the year the small pigs are less liz bic
to suffer from the extremes Of tempe
Tature, and can take advantage OF tie
grazing crops when IN their prime.
The care of a litter Of pigs should
begin before II 10 narrowed. because
the conditions TO which the eow Is
subjected has much to 40 with the
strength and vitality OF the pigs at
birth. Feeding should be carefully
regulated for about week before and
after farrowing. Overlooking Is o
common fault at this time, especially
OF feeds that are high in carbohyI
polish. These should be gradually re-
duced, and entirely eliminated several
days before narrowing time. The feed
should not be Of heating, or energy
producing kind, but rather cooling and
laxative IN its effect. Wheat bran Is
q good feed during this period. and
even this should be withheld for at
least tTenty-,Our hours after faTrow'
ing, giving nothing bit fresh water.
The pigs will not take q great deal
OF milk the first week, and no eIort
should be made TO bring tho sow TO a
flow Of milk until the pigs require IT.
Too much milk al first not only causes
scours and digestive disorders In the
pigs, but often leads u udder trou'
bles in the SOW. The feed should be
gradually increased, but not Thought
up to q full ration before the pigs are
ten days old. 1t is nOl necessary to
begin feeding heavily rs soon as tic
milk secretion has stopped. even
though the BOW Is thin IN flesh. Her
system has gone through O strenuous
drain, and should have q complete
rest for time The nearer she Is
kept IN good physical condition on
pasture alone the better II Will be for
her. By the ume her next CESSATION
period Is half spent she will need some
concentrated feed. The demands on
her system during the last half OF the
CESSATION period is greater than our
ing the first talf; AID the sOws ere
few in number that can meet this De-
m1nd on grazing alone, however good
the grazing crop is. A r. Moist.

BUILD UP POULTRY FLOCK
BY CAREFUL BREEDING.

There Is probably no one practice
which will Go so much to destroy ths
efficiency Of the farm poultry flock al
the old method OF indiscriminats
breeding from every bird kept on the
fam. Mass breeding means rapid dc
terioration: proper selection means
Improvement
Every poultry raiser should provide
means for keeping a small pen OF So
Iected birds separate from the remain
der OF the flock during the breeding
season. Where a separate house and
yard is not available, this can be 40
compished by putting temporary
partition in the rooSting house and
providing a wire enclosed yard out
side.
The prime essential Of a coed breed
ing bird is vigor aid vitality. WLer
the chicks are first hatched, one will
often notice some which are smaller
than the rest: chicks which do MOI
dry Of" we'll; chicks which show q
dOuOluChs Vi tllNhc W hiSh
show other abnormal characteristics
Many Of the chicks will apparently
overcome these troubles, and they wiz
be quickly forgotten unless sC.ne
means Is taken TO mark them 30 they
can be readily identified at any time
All OF these defects point to q wesl
constitution, and mean that such
chicks should ne!er be used for bre ID
ing purposes. no matter how strong
they rcy look later. Perhaps the SAT
est way to mark such chicks Is By
cutting off one Of the middle toes
Perform this operation with sharI
knife or pail Of scissors, making the
cut right It one OF the toe-joints. In
this way il will cause tho bird very
little pain or Inconvenience. The time
to 90 this is just as soon as any dc
feet is noticed, such as those mention
ed, which points to weak vitality.
While the young chicks are grow
ing there will occasionally. be seen 9
bird which is sick. which Is not feath
ering out properly, which does moi
grow as rapidly 81 others from the
same hatch, or which shows some 9th
er weakness. Just as soon as any Of
these points are noticed, mark thai
chicken. II this practice Of marking
the weak chicks Is rigidly followed
from time Of hatch to maturity, and
even after maturity. one will know
that all birds not having the mark ar,
those which lave ne"er shown indi
cations u weakened vitality. They
are the cream OF the flock"
The strongest of the unmarked
birds should then be selected. TIL
vigorous. healthy bird will show large

Then, from the remainder, select those
which show suitable color and shape

Baker, a former Illinoisan, who was
a witness to the sale of the stock
yesterday. They were the common
breed Of Louisiana steers, and, as
Mr.. Baker remarked, were a pro-
duct of the swamps." They had
been on led of 5 lbs of cotton seed
meal per head per day and all the
corn ensilage they could could eat
for 100 days. During this period
they gained about 2 l-2 lbs per head
per day, Mr.. Baker said. This ship

Dear Mr.. Editor:
1t is a pleasure to express our
very great appreciation of your as
sistance during the past year and
our qualification at the interest
which has been shown by you and
press of the entire State in our eff
fort to raise health standards.
1t has been especially gratifying
that a large number of papers have
coOperated with the State Board of
Eealth in its campaign for a safe
water supply and a more sanitary
method of sewage disposal in every
community.
For the coming year it will be
our policy to continue along these
lines, and also to continue to stress
the necessity for complete reports
of communicable diseases and reg
isration of births and deaths.
We had recently practical Illus
tration Of the need of a birth certif-
icate, as a number of Louisiana ap-
plicants for enlistment in the U. S.
Navy were turned down because of
the lack of this certificate.
Very truly yours,
