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

tPrepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Too many farmers follow the prac-
tlce Of weaving pigs when too young,
many being weaned at six and sevel
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
s1ble- When the pigs are of sucking
age the sow should be on full feed.
Unless there is some extraordinary
reason for earlier weaning 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, middlngs OF
tankage, or fish meal in q self-feede1

other hogs, they can be weaned at the
age of twelve Or fourteen weeks, will
very little change in their feed, by al
lowing them to continue on the self
feeder.
To obtain the best results pigs shoult
gain continuously until they are read,
for market. The best results will no
be obtained unless pigs have access al
the time possible to good forage crops

TELEGRAPH HAS
RAPID GROWTH

The increase in the number of mes
sages was much greater-45.7 per cent
during the last tive-year period and
53.l per cent during the ten years
from 1907 to 1917. The number Of en-
ployees increased by 800 per cent be-
tween 1912 and 1917, and by $40 per
cent during the period 10O7-17, and the
corresponding percentages of increase
in their salaries and wages were 500
and 1912
The number Of telegraph offices in
1917 was 2S,S65, a decrease of e. per
cent as compared with 1912 and of
seven-tenths Of l 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 1908 per cent as compared with
1907; the income from all other
sources was $1,641 ,SO3; the total ex-
penses, including charges for deprecia-
tion and sinking funds, were $SO,S2S-
97O, an increase Of $40 per cent over
1912 and Of 111.4 per cent over 1907,
and the net income was So, ,125, 400, an
increase Of 1854 per cent as COM
pared with 1912 and of 1857 per cent
over 1907.
The par value Of the outstanding
! capital stock of the companies was
$1O6,36 237, a decrease of IL per
cent as compared with 1912, but an in
crease of 4 per cent over 1907.
Printing Telegraph Comes In.
The foregoing figures relate only tc
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 1912-191,
the printing telegraph came into ex
tended use by telegraph companies
press associations and railroads. TIL,
printing telegraph consists essential,
of sending instrument equipped Will

that the latter automatically repro
duces what is typewriter on the send

telegraph it would have been Difficult

lFUNNYGRAPHS,

The following, although it might
read like "Jimmie Coon Stories" or
uSIeepy Bed Time Tales" are vouched
for as being the true facts in the case,
he claims to have an abb that can
not be rejected. In order to get
bv no less a great parsonage than our
own editor Of this column, and al
though some times his word is doubt
ed by the great majority, nevertheless
the facts in story form and readable
they run like this:
Once upon a time in the golden past
1--WE say that advisedly), there was
placed upon this earth two babes,
who as years passed on grew to man
hood, settled in the same city, went
into different lines of business and
became very good friends. However
whether this bond between them will
now continue, remains to be seen.
One of the aforesaid became a
very good CD butcher and the other
very good CD editor. Now our
story begins.
The aforesaid butcher in the course
Of his dealing, bought from some
kind farmer, who wanted to exchange
produce for coin of the realm, nice
lot Of spring chickens (what spring
he failed to state). And also the
editor took a notion that nice baked
chickie would be about the proper
article to start the New Year off with
in order that he might look back at
the enjoyment and remembrance of
that one good dinner anyhow, instead
of sit might have BEEN"
Well, We ed. ambled over to friend

home to Mrs. to fix up to fill the inner
man.
Visions of baked chicken, and all
the trimmings floated before our
hero's eyes all the forenoon and about

you will pardon us, if right here
we leave the description of what fol-
lowed from the time he entered his
home until along about $3.50 that af :
ternoon, to be described by We ed, as
he only and alone can give the exact
and elaborate facts of the case.)
The foregoing is from the over
worked brain of the linotype man and
the editor wasn't going to say word
about that springer that Bill Ward
sold him, but as long as the matter
| has got into print, we will say that
we ate that rubber ball just the same
as if it had been real chicken.
We later on learned that the birdie
was born in the spring of 1899, the
same year that we run away from
home.
