delegates, notwithstanding the contrary inn
preston sought TO be created with respect
10 the Presidents utterances commencing the

been very frank in its discussion Of the doc

been offered has boeh devoid of the extremes
OF bitterness noticeable In the utterances of
some politicians. On the whole, one would
say that the discussion in this country has
Deen sufficiently friendly OF the plan before
the conference to be distinctly helpful to our

i of milk ana the pigs will be weaned and scarcely know it. Give them access all the time to the self feeder containing the above feeds. If this method is followed they will notice practically no differ ence at weaning time and will never be stunted in their growth.
 It is more difficult to raise pigs in the winter than in the summer due to the cold weather as we'll as to the fact that the animals have to be kept indoors so much of the time Extreme variations in temperature are liable to induce colds and even cause the development of pneu- monia- The careful breeder should prac- tice every precaution to protect his young pig crop against disease, He should keep plenty of charcoal before the hogs at all times and should provide them with condition powders if necessary. X charcoal mixture of bushel of char coal, 1 bushel of hardwood ashes, pounds of salt. pounds of air-slaked lime. 4 pounds of sulphur and pounds of pull verized copperas makes fine mixture of mineral matter. The limo, salt and sui- phur should bc mixed thoroughly, and then combined with the charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in 1 quart of hot water and sprinkle the solution over the whole mass, mixing thor oughly.

If every farmer in the United States who raises hogs-and approximately 75 per cent of the 6700-000-odd American farms do raise hogs-would decrease nor tality to the extent of one pig to the litter, the annual increase in the crop of young spdealers would be 5,o25, 900 head.
 If they were all raised and marketed at 250 pounds apiece, the yearly increase in pork production would be 1,256 250, GOO pounds. According to the United States department of agriculture, experienced and careful hog growers raise about seven pigs out of each litter, while the average pork producer raises only four Thus, between farrowing and marketing, there is a loss of three pigs a litter on the average farm.
 Successful management of the fall hog crop, as recommended by the United States department of agriculture, in- wolves careful feeding of the sows previ- ous to farrowing, comfortable sanitary quarters for the dams during farrow ing. careful attention not to overfeed the sows and thus induce digestive disorders among the young pigs, and efforts to de- Velop in the pigs d large, bony frame work rather than fat. Adequate housing which thoroughly shelters the porkers, young or old, against wind, rain, sleet and snow, is essential, and despite high prices on building material it should be provided if not already available. AL though feeds are high in price it is necessary to feed the SOW and pigs both adequately and well. Fortunately, the price of pork on the hoof is such as to render the 1.-two squares and plenty of filler a day" a profitable investment.
 Dry, well-ventiiated quarters, which have been disinfected and cleaned up fof- the reception of the pig crop should be provided for every SOW which is to far row. A guard rail, made of by 4-inch pieces set inches from the sides of the pen, and about 10 inches above the bed, should be provided in order to prevent injury to the pigs. An attendant should be accessible, particularly in cold weathe~. in order to assist the SOW, and if necessary to rescue the pigs from freezing. Before the pigs are placed

with their mother the eight black, tusi- like teeth should be cut off with bone forceps or wire nippers Care must be taken to not injure the jawbone. Give the SOW plenty of warm water after far rowing but do not feed her for the first N hours unless necessary, and then pro vide thin siop of bran and middlings. The SOW should be fed lightly for the next four or five days and should not be put on full feed again until the pigs are are about 10 days old Aim to feed the SOW in such 8 manner that the pigs will develop rapidly and will prosper from birth until weaning time.
 Handle the pigs so that they will gain in weight as rapidly as possible. The modern hog Is a matchmaking machine of wonderful efficiency where kept running smoothly and evenly from birth to mar keting. When the pigs are about weeks old a creep should be arranged where they can have access to feeds away from the other hogs. The best feed to use at this time is shell corn in a self-feeder When the pigs are about weeks old it is gnerally advisable to place another selffeeder in the incbpsure, in which shorts, middlings. tankage or fish meal are placed. It is advisable not to wean the pigs before they are 10 weeks of age or over. When the pigs are weaned grad ually reduce the feed of the SOW. This will have a tendency to rdy up the flow

Fly MRS. JOHN c. MOSES, Mississiuui City. Miss.


 Mrs. Hen, veteran. and Miss Pullet, plenty of eggs during the fall and win ter months if they are properly fed and carefully managed.
 Investigations show that general pur- pose bullets will consume in a year an average of 6.f pounds of feed to one dozen eggs produced, while yearlings will eat about 9.6 pounds of feed. In these ex- periments the Leshorn bullets ate AS pounds and the yearlingS 5.5 pounds of feed for the production of one dozen eggs. The general-purpose bullets ate 1.9 pounds more feed in producing one dozen eggs than the Leghofh bullets and the difference increased very rap idly with the age of the stock, the gen. erai-purpose yearIings consuming Al pounds more feed to a dozen eggs than the Leghorn yearlings; therefore, the Leghorns produced eggs more cheaply than the general purpose breeds This is in accordance with the generally accept ed standards which value the general purpose breeds most highly for market or for the matching and breeding purposes of the general farmer and backyard poul- try raiser, while the Leghorns are es- pecially adapted for use on commercial egg farms.
 Profitable egg production IS largely the result of properly balanced rations of feeds. A balanced ration is a combination of feeds furnishing just the necessary amount of nutrients to pro- duce the highest and most economical egg yields and maintain the body re- quirements at the same time. A good egg-laying ration should include a scratch mixture and a mash composed of pal atable fedes containing some animal pro- tein and considerable bulk. Corn and wheat are the two best grains for poul- try feeding, although wheat can be fed alone better than corn which is in clined to be fattening. Oats and barley, on account of their higher fiber content, are not as good as corn and wheat, while rye is not well relished by fowls and is seldom fed. Moldy grains should never be fed poultry, although wheat screenings or slightly damaged grain sometimes may

 hcial heat should be supplied in cool weather by the use of a kerosene lamp or some other means. Use a good grade of, oats and allow a square inch of sprouted-oat surface to each hen daily feeding the sprouted oats on the floor of the poultry house or in the yard. Feed at any time after the sprouts are well started, which usually takes from five to seven days. Keep the sprouter clean and spray it occasionally with disinfectant to prevent the growth of mold spores.

The Pigeon House

Interior fixtures of pigeon houses should be as simple as possible and cosy to clean. Two nest boxes should be pro vided for each pair of pigeons, and there should be some extra nests. The nest boxes are usually made about P inches square, yet some breeders prefer this width and height with a depth Of 10 to IS inches Egg or orange crates may be used for nests,-but they are dlf- fieult to keep clean and less desirable than nests made with 1-inch boards. good method of construction is to use lumber 12 inches wide for the floor of the nests. arranging each floor so that it will slide on cieatS and can be easily removed and cleaned The nests are usually built in tiers against the rear wall of the pen, extending from the floor to or feet high but they may also be placed on the side walls All partitions should be solid to the top of the nests, but it is advisable to use wire netting above the nests for ventilation.
 Some breeders use nest pans made of wood wood fiber, or earthenware from 5 10 4 inches deep and s to 10 inches in diameter, which may De secured to hoard slightly larger than the nest pan or get directly in the next box, if it is of heavy material. Some breeders claim that earthenware nests are too cold in winter Some do without pans by put ting 5-inch strip on the front of the nest to retain the nesting material. Short rieces of hay, straw, pine needles and tobacco stems are used for nesting ma terial This is kept in an open crate or in a corner of the house where pigeons seect and build their own nests.
 Roosts of various sizes. usually ar-1 ranged in perpendicular rows. are placed at convenient points in the pen. A good type of roost is A shaped, made Of two boards about 5 inches wide and or inches long, placed directly over each other so that the pigeons will not soil one another with their droppings. If hoppers or feed troughs are used they should De of good size, while the hoppers should De constructed so that the pigeons cannot waste the grain easily by throwing 1t onto the floor. Fountains or pans with floats in which the pigeons cannot palne are best adapted for drinking vessels, while galvanized iron pan from to inches deep and 15 to 70 inches in oiam- etar makes a good bath pan.
