Robbed Hair on Way.

1t may be that the style of hair
dressing adopted by the Bohemian ele-
ment Of feminine art students will
spread throughout the realm Of wom-
ankind. Word comes from Paris, and
1t Is confirmed In America. that bob
bed hair may shortly supplement the
masses of coils and waves that have
been In style for some time.
A more practical reason for the Inn
pending change is advanced by reason
of the number of women who will adopt
more or less masculine uniform gov
eminent service work, either at home
or at the front. II claimed that short
hair is more convenient, more hygenic
and more consistent with such uni.
forms.

the breeder, in order to be sure that
they are receiving enough nourlshment
from the pasture. Hogs require attcn-
ton regardless of condition, age or sex,
but the management of the brood sows
is the surest test of the breeders skill.
Age Of Breeding.
The age at which young sow Is
first bred will depend upon her devcl-
opment, but it Is seldom advisable to
breed her before she is eight months
old. A very young sow seldom pro-
duces large Hitter. Another objection
to early breeding is that young sow
has not the strength to stand the
strain of nursing litter of pigs, and
her growth may be checked to such d
degree that she never fully develops.
A sow farrows 112 to lis days from
the date of conception. BY keeping a
careful service record, the breeder Is
therefor able to determine accurately
when to expect the pigs and to make
his arrangements accordingly.
1t Is common practice among farmers
to require their sows to produce two
filters year. Although the sows have
had good care, they will naturally he
run down somewhat in condition, be-
cause the greater portion of the food
consumed has been utilized for the pro-
duction of milk.

ROAD BUILDING LARGE TASK
President Of National Highways Asso-
citation TeIls How Great sye-

Thanks to the pushful, pervasive
motor car, American road building has
'got move on" at last. There is ev-
erywhere the cry for roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has.
been no coordination of these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president
of the National Highways association.
Charles Henry Davis, in recent paper
stated that we spent last year -$249,.
955.987,, or more than two-thirds the
total of money expended SO far on the
construction Of the Panama canal
for road improvements throughout the
country. Mr.. Davis contention is that
good roads, roads that run for thou
sands Of miles through state after
state, are, properly, not the RESPONSE
bility Of the state, but of the nation.
He would have tue federal government
build system Of national roads join
ing the West with the East, the North
and the South, connecting every part
of the country, as is the case with the
national highways of Europe, and, as
history shows, such as was the essen

power Of the past, according to the

The sow needs n rest before she Is
bred again, and the time for this is
between the weaving and breeding Pc
RODS. Intelligent feeding will bring
the sow from thin condition into
good, strong, vigorous condition In
short time. When this is done she
will be In proper condition to assume
her duty when breeding time arrives.
If the sow Is bred In thin, rundown
condition, she must resume work i'm
medlately, and she will naturally be
weak and subject to the inroads of
disease. A little cold contracted in this
condition may cause death, while
strong healthy SOW will resist such at
tacks. 1t is the general belief that
sows in good vigorous breeding condl-
tton conceive more readily. thus short
ening the narrowing period for the
herd.
Two Lltters Year.
There Is no good reason why a SOW
should not produce two filters year
when properly handled. To accomplish
this the SOW should be bred to farrow,
say, for example, In march, and bred
again to farrow the early part of Sep
TENDER. A sow bred about November
Is will farrow about March 6 to 8. The
pigs should nurse eight weeks. The
SOW should be febred by May 20 so as
to farrow on or after September s. The
| pigs could then nurse until November
3. The chances for profitably rearing
two crops of pigs from a sow annually
are undoubtedly far better In regions
Of mild climate and short winters than
where the winters are long and severe.
Management During Pregnancy.
During pregnancy two facts must be
borne in mind. The first is that the
SOW is doing double duty. Not only is
she keeping up her own bodily func-
tons, but the development of the litter
Is an increasing drain on her system.
Corn should not be fed in large
amounts to breeding stock, because 1t
does not furnish enough bone and
muscle-forming constituents to proper
ly develop the uaborn pigs.
