Since it is the Eskimo custom to
have but one name, she is called Ka-

this reason, it was difficult to adapt
her name to English spelling. BY her
own choice she assumed the surname

ing condition when received unless he
has been very heavily overfed. III
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, slow breed
err and a rather uncertain sire.
After the breeding season the boar
should not be fed so heavily, and
should have 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

pigs. He should have the run of a

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 condl-
tons little trouble will be expert

Good Chickens Are
Profitable investment

Washington, D. C.-The story
of Reuben Lowe. Of North Shap-
3 leigh, Me-, illustrates the possi-
BILE profits from poultry keeping
where careful management Is
practiced. During 1913 this
poultryman, who devotes only
part of his time to chicken rails
ing, kept 25O birds, which paid
him a profit over feed cost of
more than $1,000, equivalent TO
81 bird. Included In this
amount are the sales Of a few
eggs for Matching, about 80 cock
erels sold for breeding purposes
at $3.50 to S. each, as well us
the market eggs, which were dis
posed of in large quantity. Mr..
Lowe keeps White Wyandottes
of strain that wins in the show
ring when judged according to
either the standard of perfec-
ton or utility standard.
One pen Of 20 pullets owned
by this Maine poultry raiser pro-
duced- eggs as follows: Novem-

airy, 1919, 1926; March, 1919, 456;
total of 1903 eggs. averaging
1896 eggs per bird in five
months.
It pays to keep poultry of this
kind, and growers everywhere
are coming to realize that there
is more money in keeping bet

By r. w. CLARK. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
In order that heifers may be bred
young and begin milking at an early
date, they should be well developed.
This Is important. Cows that acquire
considerable age and become mature
before beginning to milk win not
usually make as deep and persistent
mixers as cows that are bred at a
comparatively early age and begin to
milk before they are mature. Tho
aim is to get the system Of the ami
NAL into the habit OF producing milk
at as early an age ~ possible. There
fore the heifer should be well fed and
