Don't sell the brood sows. They
are the foundation of the nations pork

Their and future profits.
Since the beginning Of the war the
number of swine In all countries has
decreased, and the decrease has been
marked In some of the belligerent
countries. In France, for example, in
the three years just before January
i, 1917, the number of swine decreased
S8.12 per cent; during 1915 the num-
Der In Germany decreased 31.47 per
cent.
Situation Critical.
Breeding stocks are being depleted.
The situation is already critical and
threatens to become very serious If the

meats. Hogs furnish meat more quick
ly and cheaply than other stock can !;
the meat shortage, therefore, can most
readily be met by swine production.
1t has been calculated that the possible
increase from one sow is 1902 pigs in
four years, on the suppOsition that all
filters consist of six pigs, that all live,
that half are females, and that each
gilt should farrow at one year and
every six months thereafter.
Cut Feeding Expense.
Another cause Of the depletion of
breeding stocks Is probably in the high
cost Of feeds. While concentrated
feeds have gone up, some of the ex-
pense Of carrying breeding stocks may
be cut down by the use of green fall
forage crops, pasture, alfalfa or clover
hay. Brood sows may be maintained
In fair condition at comparatively lit
tie expense by the use Of such feeds.
BY sowing in the corn, or as q cover
crop on land which is likely to wash,
sowing rape, or planting root crop,
the cost of wintering sows may be re-
duced. In brief, the department of
agriculture strongly recommends a
campaign to save the sows as one
means of helping to meet the threat
ened meat shortage.

1. Have the herd examined at least
once a year by competent veteri-
marian. Promptly remove animals sus-
pected of being In bad health. Never
add an animal to the herd until Ger
tain It Is free from disease, particu-
larry tuberculosis.
2. Never allow q COW to be excited
by fast driving, abuse or unnecessary
disturbance.
3. Clean the entire body Of the COW
daily. Hair in the region OF the udder
should be kept short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-favored food,
like cabbage or turnips, to be eaten
except Immediately after milking.
Changes in feed should be made grad
ually.

100000 of s24 200, 900 600 or More
Needed for Current
Year.

Washington, Sept. %. By unani-
nous vote, the house on Friday passed
the SS.lS2 100000 revenue bill, the
greatest tax measure In history. The
roll call showed $50 members voting
for the bill ana not one against il.
The unanimous approval given this
hiil, which constitutes one of the ma

gram for winning the war next year,
is regarded as further evidence that
the American people are united as
never before in the determination 10

Mr.. Longworth said 1T will show

that henccforth we will deal with the
head instead Of the tail of the German
dachshund.'
The tax bill will be laid before the
senate formally Monday.
II was The general CONSENSUS of
opinion that the final passage Of the
bill would not take place before No
yember /. Some senator's regarded the
dual system of war profits and excess
profits taxation provided in the house
bill as unconstitutional and this will
be II source Of discussion.
The passage of the bin by the house
was preceded by two weeks of debate,
in which partisanship was conspicu-
onuSly absent as a rule. Criticism of
the bill was confined to minor details,
while the measure as whole met
with almost universal commendation.
The measure as framed by the ways
and means committee was not amend
ed materially.
The tax scheme of the revenue bill
dips into the pocketbook of every man,
woman and child in the country. 1t
was framed. according to its authors,
upon the principle of levying taxes
upon those best able To bear them, with
the result that the bulk of the $1,000

and war profits.
