zeal department Of new diseases or
those previously known which are
found to be more prevalent in the army
than in civil life.
None has attracted more attention
than trench foot" the subject Of a
) bulletin issued from the office OF the
Surgeon General, presenting the con-
clusion Of prominent men who have in
vestigated the malady in France.
Although the disease is pro-
nounced accompaniment of trench war
fare, its genesis Is referable primarily
to cold. Among the predisposing fac
tors, curiously enough, Is the excess
sive use Of tobacco, which, 1t is assert
ed paralyzes the nerve ends OF the
vasomotor nerves, other factors being
lack of acclimatization to cold, en-
feebled circulation, under nourishment
and loss Of sleep.
Fundamentally, trench foot is Moth

conditions. AS the feet begin to swell,
there IL pain around the ankles or n
parts of the leg where circulation ID

soon lose the numbness Of their limbs
and the normal color returns. Where
treatment Is delayed and the case is
aggravated by tight shoes or puttees.
the feet may have dead, gangrenous
appearance. Mild cases are cured in
three weeks, while severe cases may
require amputation.
THE mechanical pressure due to
tight puttees, leggins and shoes is a
large casualty factor warns the bull
letin. THAT crime against common
sense, the spiral puttee, shrinking, as
1t does, as much as one-sixth of its
length when wet, especially has na1
many victims"
The methods Of lumber-jacks In the
northwest, who wear oversize shoes
and boots and carefully dry their
stockings at every opportunity, were
cited as excellent prevention.
The vitality important consideration
In treatment OF trench foot Is said to
be precaution that the feet should not
be too suddenly warmed. All the ex-,
PRECEDENCE OF the foreign armies was

Keep the feet as warm and dry as
possible; keep good blood circulating

MOST VALUABLE ANIMAL IN SWINE, HERD.
G'rom the United States Department of
Agricultural

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agricultural
The management OF the boar Is q
very important part in the raising OF
strong, healthy pigs, and one which IS
sometimes neglected. He should he
the most valuable animal in the whole
herd and as such deserves the best OF
attention. The boar should be pur-
chased from breeder of purebred
hogs when between eight months and
one year Of age Many breeders, how
ever, purchase boar when weanling
pig, but to be successful in this choice
requires wide experience and sound
Judgment. Aged boars which have
proved their worth can sometimes be
purchased at reasonable price. 1t
Is much safer for an inexperienced
breeder to buy an old, active boar than
O young untried boar. If possible, the
farmer should visit the herd where
the boar was raised and note the con-
ditiOns under which he was bred. AT
any rate, 1t is always possible to OBJ
tain from the breeder notes on the
health and the kind and amount OF
feeds used, so as to serve as an index
to his subsequent treatment.
Upon arriving at the farm the boar
should be unloaded as soon as posi-.
BILE and placed In quarantine to guard
against the introduction Of disease In
to the herd. If he is lousy it is well
to treat this condition at once. His
feed should be q continuation of that
to which he has been accustomed,
feeding rather lightly the first few
days until he RECEIVERS from the strain
of shipping and becomes accustomed
to his new surroundings. If 1t is not
feasible to continue feeding rs previ-
ously indicated, the change to more
convenient ration should be made very
gradually in order not to disturb the
appetite or health Of the animal. AS
Il rule, q pig eight to twelve months
old will be in proper breeding condi-
ton when received unless he has been
very heavily overfe1. In purchasing
an older boar, particularly one which
has been in the show circuit, it is often
necessary to reduce his. condition be-
fore attempting to breed. With some
animals the breeding power is perma-
nently impaired by too high condition
at some time in their life. The boar
should be well fed but not fat, as Il
too high condition makes him Inactive
a slow breeder and Il rather uncertain
sire.
Management During Breeding Season.
During the breeding season ii is well
to confine the boar to his paddock. see
ing, however, that he has plenty or
exercise. AS the Sows come Into heat
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-02-13

they may be brought to the boar's pen
for service. This is Il much better plan
than permitting the boar to run with
the herd, because by this method an
accurate record can be kept to indl-
cate when the SOW will farrow, or II
she did not breed, when she may be
expected to be in heat second time.
1t also permits Of one boar serving
more SOws in q season, for the SOW
can be removed from the paddoc..: as
soon as bred. BY following this prac-
tice as many as 80 or GO sOws may be
bred to one mature boar in one season,
which Is much larger number than
could be bred by any other method.
The lapse of time between heat perl
ods Is 81 days in the case OF the SOW.
A breeding crate should be in the pad
dock and put into use whenever the
SOW IS q "shy" breeder when there
is much discrepancy in the size of the
sow and boar. Many breeders use the
breeding crate for every service; 1t
really saves time and is an insurance
against injury to the SOW.
The boar's ration during this season
should be relatively narrow one Or
abundant quantity. The only index to
the amount of feed Is his condition.
and this should be evenly maintained
if possible throughout the entire
breeding season, increasing or decreas'
ing the quantity of feed as his condi-
ton becomes too thin or too fat. In
order to keep him in health some laXa'
tive feed, such as wheat bran, should
constitute part Of the ration, and II
corn is fed it should be combined with
some protein concentrate, such as
tankagc or linseed-oil meal.
Care When Not in Service.
The rest of the year the boar should
not be fed so heavily, and should have
wider ration, that IS, one containing
less of the protein concentrates and
relatively more corn. The ration at
this time is practically the same as
that fed the brood SOW when she is not
producing litter of pigs. He should
have the run of Il pasture il quarter OF
an acre in area in connection with his
paddock. Here he can exercise ana
obtain much of his feed from the for
age. or in the winter when the forage
is consumed he may be fed on alfalfa
or clover hay in connection with the
grain ration. Keep the boar healthy
give him exercise, plenty of rough
feeds, and keep him in condition by
varying his supply of grain. Under
such conditions little trouble will be,
experienced in getting normal boar
to produce large litters OF strong,
healthy pigs.

HUSBANDS NOT SUCH BAD LOT
Stormy Days Cause Hubbies to Be-
Thoughtful of Wives Who Contem-
plate Shopping Expeditions.

Cold days stir up warm reactions
in the heart.
Remember that cold Saturday
morning when rain and snow swept
the streets?
a young married man plowed
through the gale to his office, and,
once there, bcthought himself that
his wife had declared her intention
of going down to Center Market to
purchase rabbit for dinner that
evening.
Looking down upon storm-swept
Pennsylvania avenue relates the
Washington Star, the loving hus-
band Immediately decided that his
wife would be foolish to go out on
such bad morning, and that he
wouldn't let her go.
"I'll just call her up and tell her
it is too bad morning. for her to
60 out, when she doesn't have to, and
that I'll bring the things home my"
self this evening"" he thought.
Cynical reader, this story doesn't
turn out the way you think. Truth
must often disappoint the cynic.
Fair wife did not insist on going
to market through the snow to bring
home the nice rabbit for husband to
devour. She was pleased that hus-
band was so thoughtful.
And what is more: a.rs.
When the b husband went to a
phone to call up his wife to tell her
to stay at home, he found the phone
already in use.
"Hello, Mary" said the man on
the phone. "It's a mighty bad day,
and I think you had better not go
down town this morning"
The young husband went to use
the phone in another room. As he
walked in, he saw a comrade at the
phone already.
"Helen," the man on the phone
was saving, "I think you had better
stay at home this morning. It's a
mighty bad day"
Husbands are a pretty decent lot
after all.

SOUR milk FOR LAYING HENS
Most Excellent Substitute for Meat
Scrap and viii Give Good Re-
turns During Ws.ter.

While the production of eggs dur
Ing the winter when high prices pre-
vail is the result of proper breeding,
hatching. rcariuG and care, proper
feeding will always tend to stimulate
egg production ut that season.
One reason why hens lay well in
spring and summer is that they are
able to obtain animal protein in the
form Of bugs and worms. During
fall and winter, therefore, the poultry
feeder should attempt to initiate
summer feed conditions. The CONNER
cia; poultryman supplies animal pro-
TEN by feeding meatscraps, but the
farmer often fails to provide this feed.
Skim milk, preferably sour, is q
most excellent substitute for meat
scrap and will give good returns when
fed to laying hens. Numerous expert
ments have shown that laying hens
fed skim milk will double in egg pro-
duction similar hens fed no form Of
animal protein.
According to F. D. Crooks Of the
PENNSYLVANIA State college school of
agriculture and experiment station,
the exact value of sour milk as a
source of protein, is difficult to state.
Numerous feeding trials, however,
place its value at so cents to 81 per
100 pounds.
Skim milk lowers the cost Of pro-
ducing q dozen eggs. On the farm it
may mean the difference between
profit and loss in connection with the
farm flock. Sour milk has medicinal
effect also. 1t keeps hens in good
health and helps prevent disease.
