SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING
Animals Should Not Be Pushed, but
Kept Growing Nicely to Develop
Bone and Muscle.

Pigs selected for breeding purposes
should be kept growing nicely, but they
must not be pushed, for the whole OBJ
ject Of their feeding is to make them
stretch out and develop bone and
muscle in place of fat. They should
be continued on growing ration. A
little skim milk and shorts make d
good ration. A small amount of
ground oats and cracked corn will help
develop and insure normal growth. But
corn should be used sparingly as it is
too fattening for pigs. Remember that
these pigs should also have an abun-
dance of green feeds.

Romance Weaved
In Cattle Brands

different from that Of other ranchmen
else the brand would fail Of its pur-
pose. So in the latter days the letters
were finally all taken up and the neces-
sity for individual and unique brands
has led to many strange device.
Many Novel Designs.
For example, there is the Spur
ranch, the "Turk Track" ranch, the
"Tumbling K" of the "Lazy X.' Every
ranch has it's principal brand, and
some have many others. Ranch own
ers, who trade extensively, and are
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
ent brands, have a number Of insignias
on record. Often the ranchmen's sons
and daughters have their special
brands and the dedication Of a new
brand Is not an unusual form Of cele-
brating birth on the range.
Among the peculiar brands is pig
pen, which means square with it's
sides extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranchman has a Ratchet for a
brand.
A bow and arrow gives name to
one big Texas ranch. l.. J. Kimber-
Inns ranch had crutch on the hip
and coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design Is not so intricate as
one might imagine, consisting Of only
eight lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon, as
a brand and the J. w. Friend Cattle
company in Crotchett county had a
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
Of the Fl. B. Opp ranch in Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful feur de lis. Anchors are
common, but only the John w. Franks
ranch in the Usage reservation boasts
of the Swastika.
A hash knife, hat, the Masonic
square, a key, turkey track, a bell,
crossed walking sticks, an hour glass,
a tree, boot, slipper, q flag, an
apple, flower, ladders, rakes, spades,
a fence, doll baby, cotton hook,
fishhook, bottle, bride bits, frying
pan. a pitchfork and even comet may
be seen among the long list of brands.
A "scuple" indicates that the ranch
owner was druggist before becoming
a cattleman. Hearts, damon Is and
clubs are found among the records of

BEST AGE FOR WEAVING PIGS
Good Plan to Let Porkers Nurse Until
Twelve or Fourteen Weeks Of
Age--Keep Them Growing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Too many farmers follow the prac-
tice Of weaving pigs when too young,
many being weaned at six and seven
weeks of age. A good brood SOW prop
erly fed has good flow of milk when
the pigs are of this age. There is no
better feed for growing pigs than their
mothers milk, consequently it should
be used to the greatest extent pos
sible. When the pigs are of sucking
age the SOW should be ON full feed.
Unless there is some extraordinary
reason for earlier weaving the pigs
should not be weaned under The age
of ten weeks, and it is better to let
them nurse until they are twelve or
fourteen weeks old.
Often serious results follow weaving
at too early an age. An entire change
of feed following weaving may create
serious trouble.' If, however, pigs have
access to corn, shorts, middlings or
tankage, or fish meal in a self-feeder
placed in the open where they can eat
at pleasure without being disturbed by
other hogs, they can be weaned at the
age Of twelve or fourteen weeks, with
very little change in their feed, by al
lowing them to continue on the self
feeder.
To obtain the best results pigs should
gain continuously until they are ready
for market. The best results will NOT
be obtained unless pigs have access all
the time possible to good forage crops,
alfalfa and red clover preferred If
these feeds cannot be procured rye,
oats, barley, cowpeas, rape or any
other grain or grasses that will pro-
duce good forage in the locality should
be sown. The pigs should be watched
closely to see that they are on their
feed. If they are not the feed should

agricultural designs.
The tendency is toward smaller
brands. Branding causes cattle to
lose in weight, and the larger the brand
the greater the suffering Of the cattle
and the greater the loss Of weight, so
the old-time custom of great brands,
covering the whole side of a cow, is
passing away. Hides are more valu-
able today, also, and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron, that is, an
iron forged into the figure or charac-
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys

quarters, and in the exigency Of the

RAPID GROWTH

The increase in the number Of mes
sages was much greater-45.7 per cent
during the last five-year period and
53.1 per cent during the ten years
from 1907 to 1917. The number Of en-

tween 1912 and 1917, and by $40 per
cent during the period 1907-17 and the
corresponding percentages of increase
In their salaries and wages were 59.2
and 1912.
The number Of telegraph offices in
1917 was 28,865, decrease Of SO per

seven-tenths Of per cent as COM
pared with 1907. The total income
from telegraph traffic was $91, 312, 567,
an increase Of 74.5 per cent over 1912
and of 140.8 per cent as compared with
1907; 1.-The income from all other
sources was $1,641 SOB; the total ex-
penses, including charges for deprecia-
ton and sinking funds, were $S082S,-

The par value Of the outstanding

Printing Telegraph Comes In.
The foregoing figures relate only to
commercial telegraph companies, and
thus exclude the wire and pole line
wholly owned and operated by rail-
roads, and also exclude the equipment
and telegraph business Of the various
press associations which lease and op-
crate wires for dispensing news.
During the five-year period 1912-1917
the printing telegraph came into ex
tended use by telegraph companies,
press associations and railroads. The
printing telegraph consists essentially
of a sending instrument equipped with
a keyboard similar to that of q type
writer, electrically connected with a
receiving instrument in such a manner
that the latter automatically repro
duces what is typewriter on the send
ing instrument. Without the printing
telegraph it would have been difficult
or impossible to handle the increased
telegraph business during the great
war.
