Respondent Asks for
Three Months Sentence in
Jail and Is Accommodated

William Ward from New Jersey in
Municipal Court 10 Found Guilty Of
Begging and Finds Home in Jail
for tn eWinter. Months-Unem-
pIoyment Factor in Case
It is not often that respondent in
the municipal court requests that
the Judge send him to Jail, but Judge
Cony was confronted by this situa-
ton Thursday. William Ward whose
home is in New Jersey was arraigned
in the court and was found guilty
Of begging and at his own request,
he was given a sentence of three
months in the Kennebec county jail
and was committed.
Ward who is about 80 years OF age,
stated that he had been in Maine six
or seven years. that he had been en-
-ployed at Rockland and in the ship
building industry at Bath, and that
he was never in trouble and did not
know the taste of liquor. He had al
so worked winterS in the woods and
had recently gone to Bangor to see
about securing a position for this
winter. It appeared, however, that
he had been unable to get work and
for two or three months had been
without employment. He had been
begging at some Of the stores in Au-
gusta. Two or three times lately had
been a lodger at the Augusta police
station. His principal compla'~t --cs
that he was tired of walking the
streets, and he seemed pleased when
he ieafned where he was to pass the
winter months.

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 o r
rect it by a 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 pientifully 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 OF ground barley, to-
gether with a good mineral mixture.
In addition In 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 il
tired.
BY maintaining the digestive func-
tons in a proper manner, by causing
abundant exercise and by supplying
proper nourishmert, 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 IN
Quoted.
Swine Breeders must be alert to the
necessity for ruggedness in herd b0ars
in addition to other qualifications.
Breeders must refrain also from too
great a degree of ~fineness and smooth
ness in the selection of their breeding
animals, or loss Of breeding power will
ultimately develop in their herds.

FACTS
SUCCULENT FEED FOR DAIRY
Modern Machinery for Planting and
CultivatIno Roots Makes Work
Less laborlous.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
With the development of the silo
many dairy COW owners have over
looked the value of roots as a succu-
lent feed for cattle. Mangel-wurzel,
teets, carrots, and turnips are the prin-
cipal roots grown for this, purpose.
They are particularly adapted to the
cooler and more moist portions Of the
country. The principal drawback to
their use Is the labor Of growing, har-
vesting and storing them. On the
other hand, say specialists Of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
root crops have a distinct advantage
for small dairies, as 1t Is generally &C
cepted that a silo will not pr0Ee eco
nomical where less than six animals
are being fed. Roots may be stored
in a proper cellar, or buried in the
ground. and can be taken out in any
desired quantity without injury to the
remainder.
A surprising amount Of roots a
be produced on a small acreage. A
yield Of 25 tons per acre Of mangel-
wurzels is nothing unusual, while in
England, where roots are used almost
entirely to supply succulent food, the
yield per acre is increased still further
by intensive farming.
Other kinds Of beets, and also tur-
nips and carrots, may be used. Tur-
nips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
give a bad flavor to the product. Vel
low carrots impart a desirable color
to the milk. For feeding purposes the
mangels will probably be found the
most practical beet. Among carrots,
the Long Orange is recommended be-
cause of its large size and heavy yield.
1t forms a long, thick root, and is very
easily grown. The White VOsges or
Belgian is grown exclusively for stock,
and is an even heavier yielder. The
rutabaga Is recommended as a good
turnip. The same soils and methods
Of %cultivating are adapted to all three
kinds of roots.
The soil should be well enriched, and
should be one that warns up quickly
in the spring. Most growers regard
sandy loan as best adapted to the cul-
'ture of o crops, this being partic-
ularly true Of the early spring crop.

FAILURE OF SWINE TO MATE
Il May Be Caused by Improper Funcs
tIoning Of System Brought About
by improper Feed.

\ prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Failure in the ability Dr. 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 q
disease or injury that seriously at
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-
ton Of waste products, or it may be
due to q general lowering of body vi
tally.
There are also cases Of sterility or
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 q
search for physical defects, the pres
onaa Af diSooco tho rocuIfc Of I'm i,rrioS
or lowered vitality from any cause.
When, front such examination, 1t
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
MAJ 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
q 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 i%nbreeding does not nee
essarily bring about the condition.

fertilizer containing at least 2 per
cent nitrogen. 8, per cen phosphOric
acid, and 4 per cent potash.
The seed is sOwn In rows at least
80 inches apart If horse cultivation is
practiced, but under hand cultivation
they need not be more than Is to 10
inches. Ordinarily about 6 pounds
Of beet seed per acre is required. Seed
Is ordinarily covered t o a depth OF
Y to l inch. AS beet seed is rather
slow in termination, the practice Of
sowing some Quick-sprouting seed
along with it Is sometimes followed.
These plants serve as markers for the
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may be begun before the
beets show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose.
Beet seeds come in clusters, and 1t
is inevitable that thinning by hand
will be required.
Roots intended for winter storage
are allowed to stand In the field until
Just before heavy autumn frosts oc-
cur, when they r pulled and stored
In pits or cellars, requiring much the
same treatment as potatoes and SIM
liar root crops.
From 20 to 35 pounds Of sliced or
pulped roots, with a proper grain ra-
ton and dry foliage, is a days ration
for an ordinary dairy cow. Thus II
will be seen that 2h tons will carry
a COW through the usual fve-months'
winter feeding period. An acre or two
Of beets, carrots and turnips should be
enough to supply any herd which is
not large enough to make a silo profit
able. With the development of the
sugar-beet industry many implements
and methods of culture have been de-
vised which reduce the labor required
to grow root crops.
