IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-GOod
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one Of the most impor-
tant factors In the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in a small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray Gatewood, in
structOr in animal husbandry In the
agricultural college.
"The problem Of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood, sis more difficult to solve
In winter than In any other season Of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept Off the pasture for the
good Of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on a field
which is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
fields in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be
cause hogs are likely to remain In
their sheds too much In the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take a certain amount of ex-
ercise."

The tendency toward wrapped gowns
and toward the oriental movement OF
fabric around the body is too strong
and important to be overlooked. II is
quite probable that the designers will
offer Il as a means of making the
straight silhouette look out of fash
ion.
The extraordinary success OF the
Spanish. movement In clothes In New
York, which has come about from the
stage and the new dances, ~accentu-
ates the draplng Of the figure on the
bias.
1t will be interesting to see whether
n silhouette has a marked victory
over the other, or whether the battle
between the two becomes a stalemate
throughout the spring and summer.
Today the drnped figure is on the
offensive. The straight silhouette Is
making a good defensive. All Of
which is excellent for the people who
sell clothes.
There Is little possibility that our
clothes will flare, but there is no prob
ability that they will be attenuated. A
scarcity of wool does not mean u scare
ity Of other fabrics.
There is no evidence of n shortage
In the common weaves Of silk, satin,
crepe and jersey, and the early spring
models shown by the New York shops
for the southern season, embody these
materials In clothes that cling to the
figure, but are scanty.
The materials chosen for the new
spring gowns are admirable adjuncts
of the new movement. Crepe de chine
and tussah are in the lead, whereas
satin is somewhat shelved for every
thing but evening gowns.
The canteen Coat.
1t was not possible for American
fashions to avoid the military inlu-
ence, although there was pressure
against it here as in France. Old and
half-forgotten wars gave the designers
inspiration, but the present war was
too vital to influence dress at this
hour.
However, there are certain garments
that have been taken UP by women and
put into high fashion, which are dis
tinctly drawn from the battlefront In
France.
One is the swinging cape and
wrapped turban of horizon blue cloth.
Another is the high boot or puttee that
reaches nearly to the knees and is
worn on the street; and a thlrd-and
this is the most dominant fashions

This can only be worn by members
of the Red Cross, but who is there In
this country today who hasn't the right

One day her mother was making u

but when removed from the stove it

similar organizations could do excel
lent work in rat campaigns.
State and National Aid.
To secure permanent results any
general campaign for the elimination
of rats must aim at building the ami
mails out of shelter and food. Build
ing reforms depend on municipal Ordi-
and legislative enactments.
The recent plague eradication work
Of the United States Public Health
Service in San Francisco, Seattle,
New Orleans, and at various places in
Hawaii and Porto Rico required such
ordinances and laws as well as finan-
cial aid in prosecuting the work. The
campaign of Danish and Swedish or
CARNATIONS for the destruction of ats
had the help of governmental apprO-
%prlatlons. The legislatures Of Cali
fOrnia, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii,
have in recent years passed laws or
made appropriations to aid In rat rid
dance. 1t is probable that well-Or-
ganized efforts of communities would
soon win legislative support every
where. Communities should not post
pOne efforts, however, while waiting
for legislative cooperation, but should
at Once organize and begin repressive
operations. Wherever health is threat
ened the public health service of the
United States can cooperate, and
where crops and other products are
endangered the bureau Of biological
survey of the department of agrlcul-
ture is ready to assist by advice and
in demonstration Of methods.

unite in efforts to get rid Of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
tanned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities. In cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, in 1904, at
Folkestone, England, a town of about
$4,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, in three
days killed 1,645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count In the con
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, o., a rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each of the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving a banquet to
the winners.
There is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long IN
tervals of indifference and inactlca.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period Of
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bountles, because they
secure a friendly rivalry which slim
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and some of its colonies
contests for prizes have been organ
