PIG SURVEY TO COVER
 THE WHOLE COUNTRY


 The second semi annual pig survey, cards for which are now being distributed to rural malI carriers, will cover the en- tire country, the United States depart ment of agriculture has announced. The survey last spring covered only 17 states, but as an indication of present and prob able pig production the survey was a great success and readily demonstrated the feasibility of extending the scope of the inquiry, says the department.
 Ten cards or Questionnaires will be distributed by each rural mail carrier On agricultural routes Approximately 50,- 900 cards will be sent out. They have been prepared in simple form and can be filled out tn . few minutes. Where possi- ble, the mail carriers will fill in the an- Swers as made by the hog raisers. The cards win show the number of sows far rowed during the last six months Of 1921, the number farrewed during the first six months of 1924 the number of sows far rowed or due to farrow during the. last six months of 1932, and the number bred CT intended to be bred to fa1row during the frSt six months of 1898. Members of hogs wE1&eh died from hog cholera or ether dfseaseB during 1921 and 1922 will be shown. As well as the number of pigs saved per litter.
 The importance Of this survey to the farmers in enabling them to adjust their production to the pro6aAle needs of the market is stressed by the department Peopae who deal in crops and livestock such as packers and commission men have very extensive organizations for in- forming themselves of the production oi crops and livestock. the departmen, points out. Farmers have no such or. information of t1fs character is just 8. l important to the fhemers as to the people who deal in farm products. One of tht l functions of government is to gather ant l publish these necessary statistics in or I der that the producers may have soml knowledge of what is going on in the va! l of production"

GIVE THE COW A CHANGE,

 Give the COW a chance. if you want her to give milk, says one county agricul- tural agent. With the coming of cold weather, the dairy herd needs more at- teution in the way of housing and feeds. And it's about time now, the county agent says, to keep the herd in the barn and feed for maximum milk production. It's all right to allow dairy animals out for an hour or 90 at noon to exer- else, but it is poor practice to allow them to forage in pasture, picking up chilled grasses apples or corn butts.
 The regular winter feed should now be in o113er. A good, high protein grain ra- ton. with clover hay and corn silage should be fed. if possible. Then oat straw or corn fodder should be fed, just as we eat corn flakes or shredded wheat for brealzfast-as filler, but not as a main diet.

BEST METHOD FOE
 STORING CABBAGE

STORING CABBAGE
 One of the best and cheapest ways to store cabbage for use or for sale during the winter is in pits easily and simply made. Select & naturally well-drained spot, preferably in sandy soil. Dig pit about one foot deep. three feet wide and as long as necessary. Place in this pit 8 bottom and side lining of four to six inches of dry, weI-oacked forest leaves When the weather becomes cold, usually about the 18th of November, pull the cab bages and, with the roots attached, set them into the pits with the heads resting on the leaves or hay. Put in three or four cabbages abreast and two or three on top of the first layer. This forms a pyramid heap. Now pile over all about four inches ef oA hay, straw or leaves tightly packed with just enough soil to keep this material from blowing away.
 As the weather becomes colder and just before the ground freezes up permanent ly, pat on another layer of leaves hay or straw, with soil or boards to hold this material in place If the cabbage is to be removed gradually during the winter. o0e end of the pit must be packed with leaves or straw. This can be removed and replaced again on the warmer days of mid-wfater

end other similar pests. To ascertain the fActB in the case. the biological sur vey of the United States department of agriculture has analysed the contents of the stonachs of 502 common toads, and reports that while the findings regarding the choice of fAod are of interest they thus far fail to demonstrate that toads are of great economic importance. Toads go constantly about their own work of gaining a livelihood, and SO undoubtedly all their proper place in nature. They are never very numerous in one locality however, and as they cannot adopt the methods of birds and traverse wide stretches Of land to aid in combating ab- normal local increases of crop and garden pests their influence is not strongly felt
 The Investigation shows that a certain portion of the toads food is made up of injurious insects and other pests of grow ing plants and that the toad perfc~ns some service in such places as green houses, gardens, fields of small grain and golf courses. Any harm that toads do in the consumption of beneficial beetles and
 other insects useful to nkA is of little
 economic importance and does not war rant their indiscriminate destruction.
