Apparently he doesn't put much

his gracefulness covers up the power
he is really exerting.
The offer Of 100000 and four play
ers, the equivalent Of 100000, made
by the Giants last winter for him, has
not turned the Cardinal stars head.
He plays brilliantly because he has

STOCK
FAILURE OF SWINE TO MATE
1t May Be Caused by Improper Func-
tioning of System Brought About
by Improper Feed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Failure in the ability or desire OF
swine to reproduce may be caused by
any of several conditions, say special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. 1t may result from a
disease or injury that seriously af-
fects or destroys the secretory repro
ductive organs. 1t may be caused by
improper functioning of the system,
which in turn is often brought about
by unsuitable feed or faulty elimina-
tiOn of waste products, or it may be
due to a general lowering of body vi
tality.
There are also cases of sterility or
impotence for which definite causes
are difficult to find. Failure to breed
quite frequently occurs in bOars and
sOws which have been fitted and kept
in high condition for show purposes.
In some instances the sow fails to
come in heat, or perhaps indicates
that she is in heat and is successfully
served by the boar without resulting
conception. In other cases the boar
shows no desire to mate, or acts in
effectively.
The first step in overcoming the
trouble is to find a positive cause,
when possible, by making a thorough
examination. This should include a
search for physical defects, the pres
ence of disease, the results of injuries,
or lowered vitality from any cause.
? When, from such examination, it
appears that proper treatment will
prove successful, remedies should be
administered promptly. But if the
cause is obscure, or if there is little
likelihood of correcting the defect sue
cessfully, it is best to remove the ami
NAL from the breeding herd. Bears
may be castrated and fitted for
slaughter as market hogs. Similarly.
sows should be discarded when they
become uncertain breeders.
When there is no apparent cause
for failure Of swine to mate, experts
of the United States Department of
Agriculture frequently have observed
lazy or sluggish temperament.
These hogs generally are of the type
known as 'hot-bloOds." They are fat
and show an unwillingness to exer-
else. The tendency is more common
in mature hogs and increases with
age, but is frequently found in young
stock. Careless and unwise inbreed-
ing practices tend to produce hogs of
this type, but inbreeding does not nee
essarily bring about the condition.

seen in only an occasional animal it

SWANP-ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS

There is only one medicine that really
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine for
durable ailments of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has proven
to be just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of distressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly be-
cause its mild and immediate effect is soon
realized in most cases. 1t is q gentle,
healing vegetable compound.
Start treatment at once. Sold ct all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medi-
um and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

may be possible to recognize the fault
in blood lines or type. But when fail
ure to mate occurs frequently and
when the type is right, the indications
are that the system of management is
fundamentally wrong.
Upon the appearance Of this condi-
ton an effort should be made to cor
rect 1t by restriction Or modification
of the diet and an abundance of exer-
else. The ration must have the fat
producing feeds largely reduced and
protein feeds plentifully supplied.
Pastures should be provided where pos
sible, but when these are not avail
able then the ration should consist Of
alfalfa meal, alfalfa, sOybean or clover
hay to supply protein and vitamines,
high-grade tankage, fish meal, linseed
meal, or a good grade of white mid
dlings and whole Oats-with but small
amounts Of corn or ground barley, to-
gether with a good mineral mixture.
In addition an abundance of daily ex-
ercise must be given. This will prob
ably have to be forced by driving the
boar or sow about the paddOcks or
pastures daily until the animal is
tired.
By maintaining the digestive func-
tiOns in proper manner by causing
abundant exercise and by supplying
proper nourishment, there will be
brought about a proper elimination of
the body wastes and a rebuilding of
the tissues. This should cause the
reproductive organs to function prop
erly and bring about a toning up of
the system in such manner that breed
ing operations will be successfully con
Quoted.
Swine breeders must be alert to the
necessity for ruggedness in herd bOars
in addition to other qualifications.
Breeders must refrain also from too
great degree of fineness and smooth
ness in the selection of their breeding
animals. or loss of breeding power will
ultimately develop in their herds.

cream and the making of butter If a

Too much Importance it is said, can
not be given to maintaining cleanly
conditions in the stable and in other
places where the milk, cream, or but
ter are produced or kept. for they abb
sOrb OdOrs and spoil very quickly. It
is important, too, that these products
be"kept in cool place. High temper
atures should always be avoided, as
they produce a soft. oily condition Of
the butter which is undesirable.
In manufacturing butter on the farm
or in a factory the buttermilk must
be removed and washed out, and the
proper amount Of salt must be incor-
pOrated evenly. frequently parcel
post shipments Of farm butter are un-
satisfactory to customers because
proper methods were not used in max
ing it, and the quality and condition of
the butter thereby injured before it
was shipped. For the satisfaction Of
customers it is important that a uni
form quality of butter be produced.
Methods used in preparing butter
for parcel post shipping depend large
ly upon the local conditions and style
Of package used. To insure delivery
in the best possible state, butter, after
being packed, printed and placed in
cartons, should be chilled or hardened
thoroughly before it is shipped.
One of the most satisfactory ways
Of preparing butter for shipment is in
regular one-pound prints, the stand
ard print measuring 21A by 21z by 45s
inches. Every pound print should be
neatly wrapped in regular butter
parchment or paper. A second thick
ness of such paper has been found to
add materially to the carrying posi-
bility of the butter. Waxed paper may
be used for the second wrapping. AS
further protection to the print, it
should be placed in heavy manila
paraftin cartons, which may be OBJ
tained from folding paper-box COM
panies, either plain or printed as a
stock carton or with a special private
brand.
Corrugated fiber-board shipping con-
tainers of various sizes may be OBJ
tained for shipping one-pound prints
of butter. These boxes or containers
practically insulate the butter and fur
nish much protection against heat.
Further protection may be obtained by
wrapping the cOntainer in stout wrap
ping paper. The whole should be tied
securely with a strong cord. In tying
the twine 1t should be drawn tightly
around the package so as to insure
its proper carriage.
Some persons ship butter by parcel
post in improvised or homemade con-
tainers. Clean, discarded, corrugated
paperboard cartons are obtained from
the grocer or other merchant at small
cost or frequently without any cost at
all. It is possible to cut a piece of
paper board in such shape and size
that when it is folded it will form a
carton.
