FARMERS BOUND TO WIN.

The record of farmers last year,
made in the face of obstacles, is ground
for confidence on their part that with
equal application and organization
they can overcome the difficulties this
year, according to Secretary Houston.
Unquestionably there will be difficult
ties to urmount-difficultie in re-
specta to labor and in respect to fer
tilizers, both as to price and quantity
Prices of farm machinery, also, with
other things, have risen. In some re-
spects the farm-labor situation may
not be quite so difficult as last year. al
though it will continue to be especially
acute in certain sections of the coun-
try. The environments have been built
and there will not be renewal of ur-
gent demands in many sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
lations provide for the deferred classf-
fication of skilled farm labor. The
population of the country has In
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary of war has asked
congress for power to furlough sol
diers of the National army for agri-
cultural service If necessary.

FAR
ANIMALS
GIVE BROOD SOWS GOOD CARE
Proper Exercise and Protein Feeds In
Winter Will Aid in Production
of Strong Litters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
If the sovs that are to farrow in
March and April produce good strong,
vigorous filters and get their pigs
through successfully to weaving time
they must be properly cared for from
now until the day of narrowing. One
of the biggest hindrances to the sows,,
narrowing good strong, vigorous litters
is lack of exercise. During the cold
and snowy weather hogs like to lie
around the sleeping quarters and be
comfortable. That, however, is just
what they should not do all the time,
advise the specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The proper exercise for brood sow
is that which she will take voluntarily
and not through force. They should
get their corn ration by hustling for it
in the stalk fields and not by getting it
fed around the sleeping quarters on
feeding floors or in troughS. Feed them
ear corn during the winter months and
scatter it out in the stalk fields. The
manure spreader is good implement
to use in scattering this corn. Don't
be afraid it will be wasted, for it won't.
You can readily regulate the amount

PRODUCE GARDEN
STUFF AT HOME
Department of Agriculture Issues
Appeal to Farmers for
More Food.
SECRETARY H0USToN'S VIEWS
Gardeners and Truck Growers Should
Meet Local Demands-lncrease
Commercial Production Wher-
ever Possible.

Gardeners, fall in
A call for more food from Americas
gardens, both the commercial and the
home plots, Is contained in the de-
partment of agriculture's agricultural
production program for 1918, recently
announced. This, is what the program
says to the gardeners:
Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet as nearly as possible the
needs of the community and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
1t is important to do all that is pos
sible to relieve the strain upon trans
portation facilities.
The planting of home gardens, es-
pecially for family needs and for pre-
serving foods for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishables generally should be increased
above normal wherever it is reason
ably clear that transportation and mar
keting facilities will be favorable.
Last year the production of perish
ables is estimated to have been 80 per
cent greater than normal. Notwlth-
standing the large output, the market
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-03-28

led so that it will be picked up clean,
and you will find next spring that
there is not bit of the corn lying
around to go 10 waste.
Protein feeds II the form of shorts,
fankage, oilmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and it is quite success
full to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows will
eat larger percentage Of alfalfa hay
fed in the ground form than when fed
in racks unground. This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any of the other protein
feeds and is good balance to the corn
ration.
By following a few of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
narrowing time capable of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that if he is going to have pigs
that do their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
GUS at narrowing time. The proper care
of the brood sow is not difficult and
should be carefully looked after by
every hog grower.

ASKS 100000 TO BUY SEED.

The secretary of agriculture has
asked congress for an appropriation
of $6,OOO,OOO to enable the department
Of agriculture to buy and sell seed to
farmers at cost at a reasonable price.
1t is the purpose of the department,
if the sum suggested is made avail
able, to take immediate steps to Sc
cure, test, and store at least a portion
Of the supply of these seeds that will
be needed for this season. The seed
will be sold to farmers only for cash
at a reasonable price and it is provid-
ed that the fund may be used as a re-
volving fund until the secretary OF
agriculture determines that the emer-
gency contemplated by the appropria-
ton no longer exists. Under the cir
cumstances it is believed that it will
be possible to return to the treasury
the entire amount appropriated or at
least the greater portion of it.

"When America gathers her men to-
gether for great drive against the
Germans, she will have the finest col
lection any nation could boast of" is
Ouimet's opinion.

BOXING FOR BLIND soLplERs
One of Favorite Sports in S.. 1Dun-
STAINS Where Canadian Boys Are
Being Educated. N

Boxing is one of the favOrite sports
of blinded soldiers in st. Dunsta u.s.
London, England, where Canadian
boys who have lost their sight are be-
ing re-educated.
The extent to which other senses
can be trained to replace vision ex-
plains the eagerness of the Canadians
to take up civil life.
Boxing is possible for the men by
the use of little bells on the wrists
of the gloves, differently toned for the
right and left hands.
Hearing becomes so keen that it
is easy for the men to judge the dis
lance, and follow the motions of their
SparIing partners
The Canadian boys whose re-educa-
ton has been arranged for at st. Dun
STAINS by the military hospitals COM
mission not only learn a new occupa-
ton, but through training regain self
confidence, and firm grasp on the
new life.

SHEEP ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Produced More Economically on Farm
! Than Any Other Live Stock-Pick
Ia Up Much of Living.

Sheep, in proportion to the value Of
their products, are produced more
economically on the farm than any
other live stock; the feed and labor re-
quirements are less. They fit in with
general farming, get much of their
subsistence from forage from grazing
weeds and grass that would not sup
port other stock. They eat little feed
that has value as human food, and
need less grain than other animals.
They add materially to the farm reve-
nue. but add very little, relatively, to
the farm expense.

KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP
ADVISE u. S. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained in 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops in 1917, the
department of agriculture be-
iieves. This is especially true
in view of the necessity Of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used Of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through it's extension and publ
cation activities, is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use of the Irish potato, as par
tial substitute for wheat In
bread-making.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection OF dis
ease-free potatoes of good vari-
cites, by treatment of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
ing, and by the use of sprays TO
prevent loss from blight.
