DO NOT NEGLECT HERD BOAR
Management ls Important Part In
Raising Strong, Healthy Pios--
Deserves Best Care.

prepared by the United States Depart
menr Of Agricl,lture)
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 breeder of pure-bred
hogs when between eight months and
one year of age. Many breeders, how
ever, purchase boar when a wean-
ling pig, but to be successful in this
choice requires wide experience and
sound judgment. Aged boars which
have proved their worth can some
times be purchased at reasonable
price. 1t is much safer for an mex
perienced breeder to buy an old, ac-
tive boar than 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, 1t 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 unloaded 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
we'll to treat this condition at onca
His feed should be 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 6 :customed
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

New YOrk.-Not the least Of the
dangers attending the business of be-
Ing mariner has been that of losing
ones bearings while at sea. Timf was
when the sailors life was Dre re-
plete with danger than in these days
Of advanced maritime efficiency. But
though the ocean terrOrs were elm
mated one by one until there remained
little to be afraid of, there still was
the disconcerting possibility of ship
losing itself; Of fogs and compass r.
regularities; of mishaps to instru-
ments and disabilities of steering
mechanisms Thus every so often a
liner or freighter or warship was re-
ported ''lost in the fog" or tout Of
Its course"
The United States naval communica-
ton service Has perfected system Of
triangulation that has eliminated the
possibility of further maritime reports
Of any one man. Indeed, it truly can
nos lie classified as discovery. 1t is

and not transmitters. However, each
of the radio compass stations notifies
the central station in Whiteall street
that ship within the district is de-
manding to know it's location. Imme-
diately the central station radios the
bewildered mariner to continue flash
ing his call letters for at least thirty
seconds. And at the same time the
radio compass stations begin obtain
ing bearings on the ship.
Then Its Simple.
The operators in the FIVE stations
turn their compass wheels until each
has an accurate bearing. These five
readings are transmitted to the CELL
trail station where. on huge chart,
the five readings are combined. Each
reading will indicate certain NUM-
Der Of miles between the ship and the
station that took the bearing. 1t is a
relatively pie matter then, to
project these IT, upon the chart UNI
til the FIVE ! IS intersect. And that
point of intersection is the location
of the calling ship. Acknowledgment
from the ship completes the operation.
Every American port IS now being
safeguarded by just such systems Of
radio compasses and central stations.
Within a few months, at any point
along the coast, mariners will be able
to approach channels, reefs and shOal
waters with an absolute assurance
that they will not proceed too near
nor yet exercise such great caution

there was an annual loss averaging
1924.
The scrub slres on these farms were
responsible for at least part Of the
good or bad showing. A poor bull is
an extravaganza which Door county
farmers cannot afford. swatch us grow
a reputation" is the enthusiastic part
ing challenge Of the committee which
is boosting better bulls in this PENN
sular county.
Practically every farmers organiza-
ton Of the county-Grange, the Soci-
ETY. of Equity, the Association. Of
Guernsey Men, the Holstein Cattle
Clubs cooperating in the better-bull
campaign.
What in reality amounts to a farm
bureau-a committee made up Of q
representative from each township and
with the county agent as managing d.
rectOr-is directly responsible for the
cOunty's drive to replace the grade and
scrub bulls with good pure breds.
ITO keep its lead in dairying and
live stock raising Wisconsin must dis
card it's scrub 'sires," said the executive
committee Of county agents and repre-.
sentatives of all Of the states cattle
breeders associations.
Count on Door county to help" said
this live livestock committee. "Al-
though somewhat Off to one side, the
Door peninsula is still on our map. and
we are going to stay there. In one Of
our townships, which happens to be an
island six miles out in Lake Michi-
gan, each man contracted more than q
year ago to use only purebred bulls
and every one agreed to stay by but
one breed"
And by means of this same kind Of
teamwork the other townships Of the
county are promising to follow suit.
1.-THE entire county is going to wage
war on the scrub-only upon much
more extensive SCALE" The county
agent spoke as if he represented men
who meant business.

county reputation for the production
Of as high-class cattle as 1t already has

OKLAHOMA INCOME TAX
COLLECTIONS THIS YEAR
THREE.FOURTHS MILLION

Oklahoma City, Aug. 1.-Charles l..
Daugherty, deputy state auditor in
charge of income tax collection, an
nounced yesterday that collections Tor
the first seven months of 1919 amount
to 1874 ,5G5.34. including the penalties.
In 1913 the total collected was sag,
4295S. IN 1917, $42S,4ll.l1. and in
1919, S22S, ,0S5.SG. Income tax for 1913
was due June Is, this year and thirty
days after that date penalty is added
Total collection of taxes levied on in
comes earned in 1915, 1916, 1917 ana
1918, amounted to 81, 400 ,O9l.S9.
MIR. Daugherty estimates that total
collections this year will probably
reach nearly three-quarters of a million
dollars. Several large payments are
expected i'm the near future and the
recent decision of the c. Il. Shaffer
case, in which Shaffer, who had re
fused to pay the tax on the ground
that he is a resident of Illinois, must
pay the tax levied against him, unless
he takes the case to the United states

Should Shaffer pay the tax at once and
thus shut off the rapidly growing pen

Devol. Okla, July 31.-One year ago
this week the Fowler well came in on

Devol, Okla, a prosperous town or
1000. is just beginning to reap her
benefits of the finding Of oil in her
sister town, Burkburnett. One year

little city was as much unthought OF
as any other oil project, and today
even to the pioneer settlers 1t seems
impossible to grasp the truth of the
situation.
Today there are three pipe line com

other companies to this place. Prob
