Champion Duroe-Jersey Boar.

animal. As a rule, pig 8 to 12 months old will be in proper breed ing condition when received unless he has been very heavily overfed. In purchasing an older boar, particularly one which has been in the show cir cult, it is often necessary to reduce his condition before attempting to breed. With some animals the breed ing power is permanently impaired by too high condition at some time in their life. The boar should be well fed but not fat, as too high condi- ton makes him inactive, a slow breed CT, and a rather uncertain sire.
 Aftae the breeding season the boar should not be fed so heavily, and should have a 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 a pasture a quarter of an acre in area in connection with his paddock. Here he can exercise and obtain much of his feed from the forage, or in the winter when the forage is consumed he may be fed on alfalfa or clover Lay in connection with the grain ration. Keep the boar healthy, give him ex- ercise, plenty of rough feeds, and keep him in condition by varying his supply of grain. Under such condi- tions little trouble will be experi- enced in getting a normal boar to pro- duce large filters of strong, healthy pigs.

 Spray infested grass or other vege- tation not intended for forage pur- poses with mixture of 1 pound of paris green to 50 gallons of water. Do not use the sprayed grass or vege tation for forage.
 Spray growing grasses and other forage crops intended for use at considerably later date with a solution of 1 pound of ~arsenate of lead (powder form) in 50 gallons of water, or 2 pounds of arsenate of lead (paste form) in 50 gallons of water.
 When corn is infested, spray with one of the following mixtures: Arse nate of lead (powder form) 2 pounds, or pounds of the paste form, in 50 gallons of water; or 1 pound of paris green and pounds of freshly >slaked lime in 50 gallons of water.
 Scatter poisoned bait broadcast over infested fields. Take 50 pounds of bran and mix thoroughly with it either 1 pound of paris green or crude arsenic, then add gallons. of low grade molasses diluted with from to 4 gallons of water, and 6 finely chopped lemons. This is especially recommended for fields containing mixtures of grass and cowpeas, cow peas and sorghum, or fields in which grass has been consumed by the cat erpillars.
 Do not pasture stock in fields where the grass or other crops have been sprayed with a poison mixture until after heavy rains have fallen, and not before three weeks after the applica- ton of the insecticides.

DO NOT NEGLECT HERD BOAR
Management Is Important Part ir Raising Strong, Healthy Pigs
 Deserves Best Care

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of AgricUlture)
 The management of the boar is a very important part in the raising of strong, healthy pigs, and one which is sometimes neglected. He should be the most valuable animal in the whole herd, and as such deserves the best of attention. The boar should be pur- chased from a breeder of pure-bred hogs when between eight months and one year of age. Many breeders, how ever, purchase a boar when a wean- ling pig, but to be successful in this choice requires a wide experience and sound judgment. Aged boars which have proved their worth can some times be purchased at a reasonable price. It is much safer for an inex- perienced breeder to buy an old, ac- tive boar than a young untried boar. If possible, the farmer should visit the herd where the boar was raised and note the conditions under which he was bred. At any rate, it is always possible to obtain from the breeder notes on the health and kind and amount of feeds used, so as to serve as an index to his subsequent treat ment.
 Upon arriving at the farm the boar should be unleaded as soon as pos sible and placed in quarantine to guard against the introduction of dis ease into the herd. If he is lousy it is well to treat this condition at onca His feed should be a continuation of that to which he has been accustomed, feeding rather lightly the first few days until he recovers from the strain of shipping and becomes accustomed to his new surroundings. If it is not feasible to continue feeding as pre- viously indicated, the change to a more convenient ration should be made very. gradually in order not to disturb the appetite or health of the

PIG CLUB MEMBERS PROSPER

(Prepared by the United States Depart

 Pig club members in Florida are working up an industry among them selves. Some of the members who have been in club work long enough to have some pigs for sale are dispos- ing of their stock to other club mem bers. One club boy has sold $100 worth of pigs to club members this year. Another, who joined the pig club two years ago, is now furnishing pigs to other members, and says he is glad he went into the club work, and believes that every boy and girl who can do so should join.

HOW RHEUMATISM
 BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma- 6sm are usually the result of failure of the kidneys to expel poisons from the system. If the irritation of these uric acid crystals is allowed to continue, in curable bladder or kidney disease may result. Attend to it at once. Don't resort to temporary relief. The sick kidneys must be restored to health by the use of some sterling remedy which will prevent a return of the disease

LOSS FROM ARMY WORMS

In the eastern states alone, United States department of az riculture entomologists believe, many millions of dollars worth of grain and forage crops has disappeared down the throats of army worms in the past 30 years.
 The army worm feeds by pref erence upon grasses, both wild and cultivated; next, upon the grasslike grains, such as millet, which suffer severely in out breaks. Wheat in its Hnripe stages, corn, oats, and rye seem to be preferred in the order named. Alfalfa has suffered in-. jury in the southwestern states. Clover is occasionally attacked.
