plan FOR PROFITABLE
SPRING L|TTFRS
Begin in Fall by Selecting Lung, Deep
Sows Plenty of Vitality and Give
Them Godo Care-Which Includes
Full Ratons-ThrOughOu
the Winter

Sensible hog management saves on
ly the most desirable sows for per-
manent use in the breeding herd, ac-
corling to the specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who are striving to effect max
imum pork production under economi-
cal methods. The methods of many
hog raisers are out of joint with the
almanac. That is to say, many farm
ers waste valuable time, when it is
likely to he too late, in trying to cure
hog ailments, although they could
have readily prevented these troubles
by sensible and scasonablc manage
mcnt. The skater who sharpcne his
blades after spring has come in order
to enjoy the ice Of the past winter is
of the same pattern as the hog raiser
who in the spring wishes that he had
practiced timely management during
the previous period of cold weather.
The Federal Department advises
that all breeders should exercise con-
scientious an dpainstaking care in the
selection of sows for permanent main
tenance in the breeding herd. The
animals should be of good length, full
depth, showing plenty Of vitality as
well as the inclination TO take Suffi-
cient exercise. They should not be
skimped on starvation rations or half
feeds, but rather should receive a full
allowance, which, broadly interpreted,
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-10-16

demonstrated as useful as tankage for
pork production. Under existent
freight conditions it would be imprac-
ticable to attempt the distribution Of
| fish meal among the Central Western
hog producers, although it can be used
successfully in the Atlantic and Gulf
States.
| Use of Alfalfa
Careful test by the Department Of
Agriculture indicates the value of
grinding alfalfa hay, soaking it for
I'd hours in barrels containing hot
.water, adding little salt and possibly
of feed and giving the mixture to the
sows in the form of a thick slop. 1t is
suggested that the preferable time for
feeding this slop is each morning, so
tIat during the balance of the day the
| animals can rustic about for corn
Good alfalfa hay should also be avail
able in convenient racks so that the
sows can eat this roughage as they
| please.
One Of the most important matters,
and undoubtedly the one which is most
| commonly neglected in the proper
handling of hogs, is to supply the
porkers with an abundance Of clean,
pure drinking water. For this purpose
some automatic watering device or
home made convenience of this nature
should provide the hogs constantly
with water. Without question, water
is the cheapest material used in pork
production and the Importance of hav-
ing it supplied in quantity and of
proper quality can not be ovcresti-
mated. Hogs should not be forced to
drink from an icy tank, nor should
they be provided with only limited
supply once or twice day. A tank
heater or a properly protected gravity
system will control the former evil,
while a permanent and dependable
supply of water will overcome the lat
ter.
American Farmers Responsibility
At present the Stupendous task of
filling the worlds pork barrel falls
to the lot Of the American farmer. To
accomplish this result is possible on
ly through a markedly increased pro-
duction According to the opinion Of
the Department officials there is no
hog grower can perform than to ac-
cord special and undivided attention to
every little detail of hog management
during the coming winter and spring
SO that the sows may be properly at
tended to, favoring maximum litters
which may be grown to maturity with
Il minimum Of mortality. BY wisely
selecting the brood sows for the pig
crop Of next spring and by properly
caring for the animals during the
winter and seeing to it that every pig
is saved at farrowing time, the Amer
lean hog raisers will not only be per-
forming valuable services for this
country and the Allies, but they also
will be laying up funds for invest
ment in Liberty Loans and War Say
ings Stamps.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-10-16

means that the porkers receive about
all that they will eat with respect to
economical methods or pork produc..
ton.
Green Foods Essential
1t is highly desirable that the sows
to be bred in the fall should have ac-
cess to green forage crops as long as
there are any such materials avail
able. The sow realizes unreasonable
benefit from rustling about for the
bulk of her feed. The method insures
the female porker of the exercise
which is necessary to maintain her in
the condition which favors good litters
of pigs. AS, on many hog farms rela-
lively little green feed is available
during the pig-raisine periods, it is
imperative that the individual farmer
provide plenty of food in balanced
mixture in addition to making it nee
,ssary for the sows to exercise in the
procuring Of this food. Many success
full farmers maintain that during the
winter season they feed their brood
sows all the corn that the animals will
eat. Some fallacy may be apparent
n this statement unless the reader is
thoroughly familiar with the condi-
tions under which this plentiful use
of grain is practiced.
The general plan Of feeding corn is
to scatter it in the ear over the fields
where the sows may hustle after it.
1t is hard work to scoop corn from a
wagon which is driven through the
field. A much easier and more prac-
tical plan is to fill the manure spread
er with the ear corn and to adjust the
machine so that the grain will be we'll
scattered. This process may possibly
look wasteful, especially in view of
the current price of corn, but if the
feeder will be careful and not dis
tribute an excessive quantity, he will
find that the hogs will make efficient
use of all this grain.
The Department specialists recon-
mend the supplementary use Of tank
age. shorts or middlings, oil meal and
ground alfalfa hay with the corn. 1t
is hoped that fish meal may also be-
come available soon for the use of
hog growers, as this material has been

 The correspondent revealed that new warships are being turned out faster than they can be manned with the present limited personnel and that should there be a cahnge in naval tactics and the nation be forced to X defensive instead of an offensive fight, the navy would be seriously handi- capped in handling the fleet against an enemy.

Flag Officers Needed The two American divisions of ar mored cruisers are also without a flag officer and there is no flag officer for the division of superdreadnoughts which will be added to the navy within a year. Admiral Palmer also pointed out that the admirals and vice ad- mirals in command of American fleets should have rear admirals as chiefs of staff
