Reports from poultry and egg
dealers show that fully one-third of
the eggs now reaching the city mar

cause the egg to be a total loss as

at work in this country than the abom-
Unable rooster on free range with the
laying hens. One might better chop
off the heads of the roosters, as five

STATE COUNCIL OF
y NATIONAL DEFENSE

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 6.-Maj.
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the State
council of national defense, is just in
receipt of am essage from Washing
ton which concerns every citizen in the
State of Tennessee. 1t says: "Tns
work or fight regulation viii be en-
forced against all men between the
ages of Is ind Is and all Registrars
given deferred classification because
of dependents will have to work con-
tinuously at occupations not held to
be non-productive. Otherwise they
viii be indicted into the army"
The work or fight order means eX-
aetly what it says, and Maj. Smith is
determined to see that the state is
rid of industrial slackers and that said
slsckers are duly indicted into the
army. Employers are requested to
report men who leave their service or
who do not work regularly so that
proper action may be takn by the near
est local board. The district boards in
the state are urging that the citizens
of the several communities advise uh
boards of the names of men who have
been given deferred classification on
account of the character of industry
which they serve or on account Of de-
pendents who persistently refrain
from work or who do not put in full
time, so that they may be reclassifed.
A man given deferred classification
on account of dependents who fails to
support these dependents will prompt
ly be placed in Class One.
"The work Orfght order means ex-
actly what it says" according to Ma
Jor Smith.

some FINE POINTS
ON HOG RAISING

1t Is an acknowledged fact that the
sire i one-half the herd; some au-I
thorities claim he is three-fourths the
herd. At any rate he is worth the
very best care and attention if you are
going to expect him to build up your
herd. A well-selected boar should
show the following characteristics: A
strongly masculine head and well
crested neck; shoulders well developed
according to age, broad, straight,
deep-feshed back, with considerable
depth and length of side with well
developed hind quarters; the back
should be well set and straight; the
animal should stand well up on his
toes, with no indication of weak pas
terms. reproductive organs should be
we'll developed and clearly defined.
The boar should always have the fore
going characteristics, but if the breed
ing sows are rather coarse m bone and
loosely built, then the boar should be
high in quality, as indicated by fine
bone, skin and hair, but in no case
should he have any feminine character
istics. If the sows tend toward over
refinement and delicacy, the boar
should be rather "rangy," strong bon
ed and masculinely coarse.
If possible to do so you should as
certain the past history of the boar
with reference to his ability to get
strong, healthy pigs. Much depends
upon the care Of the boar. The young
boar should not be used in service I'M
til eight months old, and throughout
the first season service should be lin
tied to ten or fifteen sows. This may
be increased to twenty-five or thirty
five sows when past one year old, and
when over two years old service can be
extended to fifty or seventy sows, pro-
vided all the time he is well cared for.
He should not be permitted to run at
large with the sow herd, for the rea-
son that breeding records canont be
kept; it is waste Of energy and dou-
bic service is unnecessary.
Sterility in the boar is not at all
unfrequent and is generally due to one
or more of the following causes:
LACK. of complete sexual devel-
opment.
2Injury to reproductive organs.
3 Excessive service.
40verfeeding, especially of rich
feeds.
s Improper care and under-feed-
ing.
n boar should not be excessively
fat Dor noticeably thin, but in good,
thrifty service condition. Some large
especially heavy typed boars will be-
comA naturally indolent and especial
~ SIT kept too fat. This cass Of
an should be forced to exercise.

boa3| PASTURE will necessitate his roam
ing jaround, especially if the corn is
shetled If corn or other grains are
planted in the boar lot, he will get
sufficient exercise from hogging it
down. At no time should the boar be
without green, succulent pasture of
some kind. Many farmers will keep
the boar in dry hog lot or barn
yard with practically no feed other
than corn. He cannot be expected un-
der these conditions to perform prop
err service and get good, strong,
healthy pigs.
A pasture upward of an acre should
be provided and cropped in such way
that he can range from one small
out the entire year. This pasture
should be divided off in such way
that he can range from one smallo
compartment to another and thus be
insured of green feed. Legumes are
prominently the best pasture for
hogs. 1t is possible to have combi-
nation of crimson clover, bur clover,
hairy vetch, cow peas soy beans, oats,
rye, ETC., arranged in such way that
he can have continuous pasture.
One of the most common mistakes
in the management of hogs is the con-
tinuous selling off of the boar and
buying another. Many farmers will
change their boar three or four times
during a season, perhaps because they
have an opportunity to make a profit
able sale and buy another at cheap
err price. This is one of the biggest
mistakes that farmer can make. 1t
is true that change in sire is some
times necessary and desirable, but af-
: ter you have been able to select a
boar suitable to all your requirements
and one that gets good, healthy pigs
: he is too valuable an animal for you
to part with merely for the sake Of
a few dollars profit. 1t will not bC
necessary for you to change the boar
in less than five or six years if you
