But these figures are based only

II is more than probable that the true

that many sheep are killed which are

USE SELF-FEEDERS FOR HOGS
Device Will Give as Good Results as
Most Expert Hand Feeder-Time
and Labor Saved.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
BY means of the self-feeder the nv
erage farmer will have as good results
as the most expert hand-feeder. and
the results will he obtained at much
less expense of time and labor. For
the average farmer there is little doubt
which method is the more economical,
for the selffeeding system is advan.
tageous In every respect. Its use re-
suits, first, In larger daily gains in live
weight, bringing the pigs TO market
able size at an earlier date: second,
feed Is consumed more rapidly, and
consequently gains are more rapid:
and, third, as there is an actual saving
in the amount of feed required TO pro-
duce 100 pounds of gain, it is shown
that the increased feed consumption
and the more rapid daily gains are not
made at the expense of efficient use of
the feed. On the contrary, a smaller
amount Of feed is consumed I'm making
pork, which is fact Of extreme i'm
portance at present. The last and one
or the most important advantages TO
the farmer at this time is the saving of
labor, for although daily watch must
be Kept on the self-feeder to see that |
each compartment is well supplied and
not clogged, this requires only a frac- |
ZION OF the time necessary to hand. |
feed the same hogs several times a
day.

may be adapted to handle ear corn,
but such feeder must be of large
size and heavily made in order to hold
sufficient grain to feed bunch of
hogs several days without refilllng.
In order that the self-feeder may
readily he adapted TO different kinds
of grains 1t should be constructed with
some means Of regulating the opening
through which the feed passes. For
example, cornmeal or barley requires
smaller opening to prevent too rapid
flow of grain than is required In the
case of shelled corn. A well-construct-
ed self-feeder will last a number of
years, and as It may not always be
convenient TO feed the same grain
every season some provision must be
made to accommodate different sizes
Of grains.
Care should be taken to see that the
self-feeder Is always supplied with
each feed. for II one part of the ration
Is missing the pigs will naturally eat
an Increased amount of any other
available nutrient, and In such a case
VIII make very poor use Of IL. For ex-
ample, when tankage and shelled corn
constitute the ration, II corn were to
become exhausted the shoats would
naturally eat very large amount of
tankage, which would not only fail to
produce rapid gains. but would in
crease the consumption Of very high |
priced feed. Too much emphasis can
not be placed upon this point. for the |
beginner Is apt to become careless in
the use Of device which does not re-
quire constant care.

The American First army, General
Pershing commanding, started the first
great wholly American offensive
Thursday, attacking on both sides of
the st. Mihiel salient southeast of
verdun. The French assisted by at
lacking on the point of the salient, but
the operation was planned by the
American staff and executed by Amer
lean officers and troops.
After a terrific artillery preparation
which for -four hours smothered the
entire region within the German lines
with shells, the Yanks went over the
top exactly at five o'clock, following
n rolling barrages timed for an ad-
vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes.
Great numbers of tanks supported
them and cleared the way by crushing
numerous concrete machine gun shell
wire defenses. American aviators In
fiocks quickly drove away the few Hun
airmen In sight and thereafter del
uged the enemy supply centers, mu-
milton dumps and hangers with
bombs. while the observation planes
directed the work of the artillery.
Everything moved like clockwork and
the troops speedily gained their OBJ
jectives and went on to the next ones.
Village after village was taken and
by Friday the cavalry had. advanced
far into the center of the salient and
occupied strong positions, At the
time of writing the drive was progress
ing steadily and the Germans were in
danger of finding their retreat from
the big wedge entirely cut off. Hun
dreds of prisoners were taken. The
st. Mihiel salient had been held by
the Huns ever since 1914 and WINS
very strongly fortified. It's base is to-
ward the German stronghold Of Metz
and 1t may be that the drive is direct
ed against that city. However. Mar
shall Foch's strategy had not been re-
vealed when this was written.
-M-
Having given up all the ground they
won in their great spring drive, and
finding themselves back on the old
Hindenburg line, and in some places
well behind 1t, the Germans decided to
stop their retreat for a while. Marshal
Foch did not fully assent to this deci-
sion. bat powerful concentrations Of

more slowly, and the Germans deliv.
