MATERIAL FOR WEAVING PIGS
Concentrates That Are Rich in Muscle

Weaned pigs need good concentrates
that are rich in muscle and bone
making material to insure thrifty de-
velopment. Accustom them to their
feed gradually. as overlooking will
readily produce securing. From ten
to twelve days are essential in getting
young pigs adjusted to the change.
However, they should he fed lightly
at least three times daily during this
time.
The following rations are good for
young pigs: (D Skim milk and wheat

Problem Of Control.
The case cannot be rested. however,
with the announcement of this anti
boil weevil system. The problem of
boil weevil control becomes more seri-
GUS as the pest continues Its invasion
Of the cotton belt. Eastern planters
must expect a more serious problem
than that which confronted the farm
ers Of Texas, because the humid con-
ditiOns In the East are more favorable
to the life Of the weevils. Better
means Of control must be devised for
the region that Is becoming invaded,
and, II possible, other means must be
developed to reduce the enormous loss
that Is suffered. especially during I'M
favorable seasons in Texas. The princi-
pal work of the bureau of entomology
at this time is In attempting to devise
means for this requisite additional con-
troll.
Much has been learned about the
habits of the boil weevil. Many SEEM
ingly excellent theories of control have
fallen before this newly discovered in
formation. A few may be mentioned:
Repellants do not repel the boil wee
VII. Sprays innumerable have been
tried unsuccessfully. Nor are the
weevils attracted to light. Lantern
traps have been hung in cotton fields by
many farmers, but only occasional
stragglers are caught in this way, the
specialists learn.
Machines Are Injurious.
Machines employing suction and lar
ring devices, designed to pick weeyils

The director of one of the best

1.-The diminution of the length of

out any general agreement, merely
under the pressure of necessity, dress
makers had already restricted the

It is seventeen miles to the she'll

fore it will be fit for service again. On
another, the flying struts must be re-

The whole means a hard seven
hours of work for the entire staff OF
mechanics. They settle down to it as
a matter Of routine. Every time a
machine comes back from the lines it
has to be overhauled, perhaps disman-
1 tied. New gadgets must be fitted, the
engine repaired and cleaned. Air
planes are after all very delicate
pieces of mechanism and need contin-
ua1 attention. Without it they are
useless, even dangerous. The accuracy
Il Of hundreds of measurements, the
trustworthiness of hundreds of parts
are essential to good flying and relfa-

these factors as on the skill of the pi-
lot.
The airp1ane mechanic doesn't
snare the dangers OF the I1eld or the
hardships of the infantryman or artil-
leryman, but he has endless work, and
a very heavy responsibility. Wher
there is heavy air fighting he must
