Profitable Pigs Never
Stop Growing"-Sloxar

Stop Growing
 In an exhibit entitled "Pork pro- duction," shown by the United States Department of Agriculture at the International Live Stock Exposition, Chicago, December 2 to 9, the de- partment gives the essential points for raising swine economically.
 Good breeding stock, proper mat ing, and careful feeding of the brood sows are all important, but a point in hog raising that should re- ceive more attention, because it is often neglected, is the necessity of keeping the young pigs growing con tinuously from the moment of birth to maturity. ,..
 Even before the pigs are weaned they should have access to corn in self-feeders as supplement to the sow's milk. As soon as they are weaned the pigs should be kept on full feed, either by self-feeder or by hand. Approved types of self feeders, hayracks, troughs,N and watering fountains are shown in the exhibit. Proper feeds and exercise furnished to vigorous pigs of proper type result in hogs of market weight at about 8 months of age.
 "The profitable pig is the one that never stops growing from farrowing to market" is a good slogan for every hog raiser.

EDITORIAL ON "CASH BONUS"
Chicago Newspaper Comments on Com. mander MaeNider's Plan for Ro.
 tatinQ Fund to Be Loaned.

''The soundest policy which has been offered with respect to cash bonuy is the editorial comment of a Chicago paper on Hanford MacNider's plan for a rotating fund to be loaned out to needy ex-seryice men.
 The editorial, in part, follows:
 "In many cases the bonus, distrib- uted to all alike, will be given to men who are not in actual need of It, to some who do not need it at all. All degrees of financial competency were in the army. For other men the al- lotment will not be enough. They need more credit than that to recover.
 Men who have no need of bonus could take 1t without scruple if they intended to place 1t in the fund. Men who have need of 1t could get 1t from the fund, pay 1t back when they could, and keep the money available for con- tinuing relief"
