Feeding the Brood Sow.

fS0OtU0 the 0TOOu 0oWs
 Although there is a larger quantity |of corn on hand this year than usual, one should avoid feeding the SOW ex- |clusively on this feed. Not only IS the number of pigs produced by the lsow affected by the ration, but also l the strength of the pigs. All rations l fed should have protein feed (such as shorts, bran, milk, alfalfa hay, clo- yer hasg cowpea hay, soybean hay. and green forage crops when they are available), which is muscle building, ! in connection with the corn, which is fat producing. Unless this is done large percentage of the offspring will be lighter and weaker.
 Water.
 Plenty of pure water is one essen tial. often neglected in raising hogs. Many people still think the stagnant pool or other filthy water is good enough for the hog, but as a matter of fact, the hog is an animal that not only appreciates clean water to drink. Abut will also pay dividend upon he Mime and investment necessary to aalxe the clean water available. A kow that has this advantage always gsins faster in weight and is more thrfty than one compelled to drink From the stagnant pool.
 Shelter.

WHATCOM COUNTY TEACHERS
GET AVERAGE SALARY OF S1O2f

The manual report of the county su-
perintendent of schools shows that
the average yearly salary for men
and women teachers in the county is
$1029.
When it is taken into consideration
that this average is made high by
salaries of several thousand dollars
a year paid to superintendents and
teachers in Bellingham, it will be re-
allied that the stipends received by
the country teacher are still low.
The average salary in Bellingham
for a teacher is $1.137, and in the
county it is sS66. The average sal
airy for men teachers in the city is
$1,244 and in the county 81 ,039. The
average for high school teachers is
1920 and for rural teachers $663.
Even these figures, however, show
a considerable increase over the sal
aries paid in 1914. At that time
men were receiving 1896 and women
were receiving $625.
The report shows that there are
15,037 persons in the county within
the ages of S and 81 years, of whom
1906 are boys and 1882 are girls.
The registration in the county schools
was 1l.216, with only slight pre-
ponderance of girls over boys.

months in all the districts.

WOMEN DO MOST OF FRENCH
FARM WORK, SAYS LYNDEN BOY

The women are doing three-fourths
of the farm work of France, writes
William o. Noteboom in a letter re-
ceived in Lynden yesterday.
Says Noteboom:
I've seen some mighty fine count
ry during my travel and also a lot
of poor country. The people are alb
out from hundred to a hundred and
fifty years behind the U. S. in almost
everything. They have hardly any
passenger trains. at least l didn't get
to ride in any in this part of the
country. The cars are about half the
size of our cars. There arc but very
few autos, and also very few four
wheeled vehicles, mostly all two
wheeled. with the hcrses hitched to
them cne ahead of tn others, some
times as high as four in a string
Il think I'll like v here o. X. as

tired of travelling.

ONLY WHEAT UNFIT FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION LEFT FOR FARMS

Charles Hebberd, federal food ad
ministrator of Washington, advises
that no wheat may be used for feed
ing purposes unless it is unfit for hu-
man consumption. H. B. Carroll,
county agricultural agent and Virgil
Peringer, county food administrator.
have both received copies of the fol-
lowing letter:
Replying to yours of August s,
the food administration does not per-
NIT the use of wheat for feeding pur-
poses except wheat which is unfit for
human consumption or wheat which
is not a millable wheat. Such unmil-
able wheat or wheat unfit for human
consumption can only be usei in
mixed feed containing not more than
10 per cent of such wheat,
Farmers should no: use wheat for
feeding except in emergencies when
it is impossible to secure other feeds
and then only on special permit of
county food administrator. AS soon
as other feeding stuffs are available
the emergency use of wheat for this
purpose should cease.
THE fact that other feeds are more
expensive is no justification for use
of wheat for feeding purposes.
"A farmer producing his own
wheat may mill or have milled for
his own use sufficient wheat to supply
him with -four for family consump-
ton at the rate of eight pounds per
person until October /. After Octo-
Der there may be some revision of
this rule. Under this rule in case a
farmer grinds or has ground. his own
wheat he is not required to purchase
or take any substitute against such
-four.
There is at the present time no
Limitation on the quantities OF mill
feed which dairymen can purchase If
such mill feeds are available"

WON'T YOU HELP?

The Lynden Chapter of the Red Cross was
asked to deliver to Headquarters 1000 surgical
dressings by last Tuesday. Because of the lack
of workers, Lynden was able to send only 273!
The showing is dsgraceful Lynden must do
vastly better than this to uphold its reputation of
warm heart and helping hand for all war work.
Won't you come to the Surgical Dressings
quarters this week, and regularly until the war is
over, and aid in making the bandages for our boys
who are stricken at the front? Won't you aid in
this great work of mercy?
The rooms are open Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons and evenings, Friday evening and Sat-
urday afternoon. A few stray hours spent each
week there may save many lad in France from
needless pain. Won't you help?

DAIRYMEN NEED HELP, SAYS
STATE AGRICULTURE EXPERT

That the dairymen Of Western
Washington need government help &C
obtain a fair pr:co for their milk. is
the opinion CT w. A. Linklater, sup
erintendent of the Western Washing
ton Experiment Station at Puyallup
Says Mr.. LInklater:
1.-THE dairymen of Western Wash
ington have realized for come time
that the price they obtained for milk
or butterfat was below the cost OF
production. Each year for several
years has witnessed an increase in
the cost of milk production. thru fac
tors beyond the dairymen's control.
The advancing prices of feed and
dairy equipment, the scarcity of and
wages demanded by labor, the re-
quiremcnts of City Boards of Health,
are conditions the dairymen must
meet, while on the other hand they
are as yet entirely helpless in the
matter of fixing price for their pro-
duct that will enable them to make a
reasonable profit from the dairy busi-
ness. The report of an investigation
on the cost of milk production in
Western Washington by Mr.. Floyd
w. RAIDER. County Agricultural Agent
of King County, included the records
of SO representative Western Wash
ington herds for the twelve months
prior to April l. 1918. The average
milk production per COW OF these
herds was almost 1000 pounds a
much higher production than the av-
erage for Western Washington. No
doubt the dairymen who belong to
the cow-testing associations own bet
ter than average cows and feed and
manage their herd better than the
average. Notwithstanding this fact,
the report shows that the average
cost of the milk produced by these
was 1929 per 100 pounds. He did
not allow the farmers any interest
on the capital invested in cattle, sta
bles, land and equipment. Giving
credit for sales Of products Of the
dairy other than milk, for calves
raised and manure produced, still
there was an average loss in these
50 herds of 4S cents per 100 pounds
Of milk.
"Dairying is the leading branch Of
agriculture in Western Washington.
1t is. consequently, of very great i'm
portance that the dairy farmer Sc
cure reasonable returns for his in
vestment and his labor. This he is
not doing at the present time. No
business, not even dairy farming, can
long survive when the cost of produc-
ton is greater than the selling price
of the product. 1t is of paramount
importance that ways and means be
considered and put into effect which
will bring about an increase in the
price of milk and its products to at
least their cost of production. 1t is
the opinion of the writer that the
dairymen of Western Washington
should be encouraged and helped in
their effort to organize, because the
selling end of their business can best
be improved thru cooperative ef-
fort
