PROPER CARE OF YOUNG PIGS
First Thing to Be Done Is to Cut of Four Sharp, Hard Tusks-
 Never Pull Them.

Soon after pigs are born, the four sharp, hard tHsks. two in the upper and two in the lower jaws should be cut off. Take a pair of nlppers and cut the teeth of, but not too near the gums. Often these tusks cut the sow's teats, make them sore and she will not let the pigs suck. Then, also, the pigs cut themselves with those tusks, and sometimes stick them through their tongue. cannot suck, and starve. They cause sore mouth. They are soft md easily removed.
 pair of sharp scissors will cut them easily but under no circumstan- ces should they be pulled out If 1t Is seen that pig Is getting too fat, 1t Is evidence that 1t is rObbing its mates. To prevent this, take sharp knife and cut It's rooter fin two or three places, deep enough to make 1t sore, and 1t will stop taking more than it's share.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITS
Only About 4 or Per Cent of Live Stock Is Purehred and Demand
 Steadily Growing.

There are many opportunities for good profits in the breeding of pure bred live stock. When 1t is consid- cred that only about or per cent of all our stock is purebred and that the demand for better stock is steadi- Iy growing It must be clear that there is still room for capable men with a love for live stock to make breeding a profitable business. But the man who is not prepared either through training or inclination to devote large part of his time to the care and of his stock is surely making a mistake to engage in the purebred business.
