THIS is probably sufficient to give
you an idea of the progress that has
been made in these two schools IN
subject of reading. We must also
realize that If it had not been for
these tests given by the Supervisor.
/ we would not have any definite math-
ematically correct data regarding
the school work, and I. believe that
as the work continues greater pro-
gress and improvement may be ex-
pected.
I have had prepared tabulated
| statement showing the amount of
special tax placed on the roll, by the
assessor, for each special tax fund
IN the different districts. This tab
ulation also shows the amount that
has been received by me and the
amount still uncollected.
In closing l wish to thank you for
your continued cooperation In
school matters and trust that you
| may feel justified in continuing to
give us your assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
ELMER E. LYON,
Superintendent.

FEEDING THE MOTHER SOW.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The feeding OF the sow that has just
narrowed should be light for four or
five days, but she should gradually be
brought to full feed as the demands
of the pigs and the milk flow increases.
Some of the coarser feeds may give
place to richer concentrates such as
skim milk, buttermilk, tankage. mid
dlings. crushed oats, ground barley,
peas and oil meal. II Is often cheaper
to buy these concentrates in com
mercial mixture when the proper in
gradients are difficult to obtain, or the
feeder is inexperienced in handling
them separately.
These feeds may be offered In
.watery slop. The feeding Of the sow
should be liberal, as at no other time
can the growth of the pigs be pushed
so rapidly or economically.

Because Of the economy with which

Practically every farmer should raise

wise be wasted. Pigs will properly
utilize many other by-products Of the
farm, such as dairy by-products and
kitchen and garden wastes, as well
as grains that cannot otherwise be
profitably disposed Of.
We should dismiss the idea that
profitable hog raising belongs to the
corn belt only. Denmark raises no
corn, yet produces more pork Of the
highest quality than any other equal
area In the world. The South can
produce hogs more cheaply than any
other place on earth.
Pigs produce a pound Of gain from
four to five pounds Of dry matter while
fattening cattle require from ten to ~
pounds. The pig yields from rs to 80
per cent Of his live weight as dressed
carcass; the steer only IS to 65 per
cent.
No other line Of stock farming can
SO quickly be brought to profitable pro.

In stock and equipment as can the
making of meat from the pig. In many
cases the grower should not only fat.

SUGAR LANDS OF FLORIDA

Slowly but surely the great pro-
ducers OF sugar in the United States
are beginning to realize that Florida

Tor the producing of cane sugar, and

OF not only some Of the greatest su-
gar cane plantations, but the home O.

One OF the largest sugar concerns
OF the country has just purchased
some 1000 acres of choice cane grow

counties. and present plans are to in

Oh the crops to be produced on its own
lands and on lands adjacent.

A GENTLE MOTHER PIG.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
One great advantage Of the pig club
Is that every animal becomes great
pet, Sows should be accustomed to
being handled and they will soon be-
come quite gentle, II not already 80.
A savage sow Is a menace and II she
cannot be tanned she had better be dis
posed Of. When a sow is used to hay
ing the pig club boy about, she can
be cared for at narrowing time quite
easily. Otherwise they are apt to be
cross and excited IL one goes into their
pen. The friendly SOW always wants
someone around.
The little pigs can be put In
a basket and kept warm or even
taken into the house until the
narrowing Is over and the sow
Is ready to take care Of them. Prob
ably one pig per litter can thus be
saved-that means increasing the pig
crop by 20 per cent.
II sow is to be put In new quarters
before narrowing move her early
enough SO that she will have time to
get accustomed to the pen.
Use short straw or chaff for bed
ding.
Make a fender OF 2 by 8 nailed to
the wall 8 or inches from the floor
so that the little pigs may have a
chance to slide under and save them
selves when mother lurches down upon
them. More pigs are needed and many
little pigs can be saved by this ar

A BALANCED HOG RATION.

A PRACTICAL FEEDER FOR HOGS.

National Crop Improvement servicel
In building a self-feeder do not make
the hopper taper too much, because
when gluten feed or shorts, or other
soft feed is used, ii may become
clogged and have to be poked down.
Build it large enough at the bottom,
with Stats to keep the pigs from vast
ing the feed, and with partitions to
serve several kinds Of feed at once.
This will allow for both tankase and

Sugar Workers Strike

San Juan, Porto Rico-Over $4,000
sugar workers in this island are on
strike for better conditions. The gov
ernment has sworn in hundreds of
special police, but the strikers are
refusing to be goaded into violence.
The special commission appointed
by the American Federation of Labor
to investigate Porto Rico working
conditions recently wrote to the acting
governor of the island that conditions
were so appalling that immediate ac-
ton is necessary. 1t was stated that
wages are as low as go cents day
for IL hours work, although the
profits of sugar planters is enormous.
The rate of pay for women is from
80 to go cents day for an 11-hour
day and children get from 10 cents up
"The continuation of this starving
condition of the people of Porto Rico
should not continue moment longer" f"
declared the commission. "The very
men who sit in the Porto Rico legis-
lature are the worst profteers and
the mest hsastlsss,"

Profit Patriotism

Wilkeson, Wash.-When the miners
started their recent nationwide strike
no one was more shocked than of
fcers of the Wilkeson Coal and Coke
company at what was declared San
attempt to freeze the people"
When the strike was settled this
company discovered that the Miners
union was intact, and now it refuses
to accept the conditions agreed to
between the government and the
workers.
Trade union officials declare that
Attorney General Palmer promised,
in the presence of witnesses, that he
would order the company to accept
the settlement, as have other coal
owners. Later Mr.. Palmer's depart
ment suggested that the matter be
settled by an arbitration system tried
out in Alabama, where the Miners
union is not recognized.
At a meeting of the miners district
executive board the government was
called upon to proceed just as vigor-
ously against the Wilkeson company
Is It did against the mSnTs.
