brought in on a wooden platter, and
put near the lower end of the large

BREED SOWS NOW
FOR FALL LITTERS

1t is now time to begin to think
about the fall pigs. which should be
farrowed about September. The lit
tiers that were farrowed this spring are
being weaned in April and May.
mo time should be lost in getting
the sows back in shape and bred for
fall farrow," says c. L. Burleson, in
charge of swine work, State University
Extension Division. ''In fact, if we ex-
pect two itters a year from a SOW,
and we expect these to come at the
right time each season, the SOW must
be kept busy. By little figuring this
is very plain. 1t requires on the aver
age of liz days between breeding and
farrowing time or for one CESSATION pc
Rod. For two CESSATION periods will
be 224 deys. The pigs will be wean-
ed at about 8 weeks Of age, or Sc days.
Two sucking periods will be liz days.
This gives a total of 336d yas in the
year, that the SOW is kept busy with no
vacation. leaving only % days for two
vacations, or time in which to get the
sows bred for both litters.
Sows can usually be bred within
ten days or two weeks after the pigs
are weaned. However, if the SOW is in
a thin or unthrifty condition from hav-
ing sucked the litter, or from any
other cause, the heat period will us
ually be delayed till she begins to. gain
flesh. Consequently. as soon as the
milk has dried up in the udder, the
sow should be placed on full feed of
some good ration and on green pas
ture. if possible. She will begin at
once to gain in flesh and vigor and will
come in heat correspondingly early.
IF for any reason she fails to con-
ceive daring the first heat period, it
will be about twenty days before she
can be bred again. She should be
watched at the expiration Of this twen-
ty-day. period, with the aim of re-breed-
ing, in case she has failed to catch
from first breeding, proof of which is
shown. by her coming in heat.
"A record Of the breeding date
should be kept. then, figuring III
days from this time, the farrowing
date is obtained. This date should be
known in order that proper care and
attention may be given at that time.

GENTILITY IN HUMBLE GARB

than either a company Of honest labor

Whatever might be our points of diff

and laudable idea Of wearing out our
old clothes. Such garments as had an
airing whenever we strobe afield!
Coats with high collars and with no

and with the waist at every point be

humiliatiOns of the wearer before his
lady-love; in short, we were a living
epitOme of defunct fashions, and the
very raggedest presentment Of men
who had seen better days@>It was gen
tility in tatters. We might have been

admirably to stick up for a scare.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Capital punishment is a remnant OF
she savage state of man, but even in
the least progressive communities are
to be found considerable portion of
men who are drawn for petit juries
who do not believe that capital pun
ishment is just. | am glad to see this,
as it proves that the human heart is get
ting nearer to the higher life. We
cannot restore the life of man who
is executed for crime, but if he is in
prison he has a chance to become a
better man, if guilty, and if it turns,
out that he is not guilty, his liberty
can be restored to him.
The State is rich and powerful
enough to hold any man in prison if it
is necessary, and the power to pardon
a man guilty of capital crime should
be abolished in all cases unless testi-
mony later comes to light that would,
or should, restore the liberty of the
convicted party.
Several man have been executed for
crimes they did not commit who might
have escaped such death if they
had only been sent to prison for life.
Besides the danger name above, of
innocent men losing their lives, it is
a species of barbarism for men in this
age to take human life when society is.

WA /oW mining OF
SS@6/W gold and sil-
461 yer it sur
passes all other States, produc-
ing about one-third of the total
output of the entire country. In
fact, its real history starts in
1858, when gold was first dis
covered.
Prior to that time there had
been but little settling in this
region. Spanish explorers had
traversed the country in the lat
ter part of the Eighteenth CEN
tury, and laid claim to it. AS a
part of the Louisiana Purchase
it came into the possession of
the United States in 1903. Off
GERS Of the United States army
were sent out to explore this
wilderness among whom were
Lieutenant Pike in 1906, and it
was after him that Pixies Peak
was named. In 1919 Colonel
Long made extensive explora-
tiOns and he was followed in
1912 by Fremont, whose activi-
ties in the Mexican war brought
him into much prominence. At
the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico ceded her rights to this
territory to the United States,
but it was considered a barren
waste and unattractive for set
tiers.
Then in 1858 came the dis
covery of gold~in the bed of Dry
Creek, a few miles south of
where Denver now stands. The
following spring tens of thou
sands Of men fiocked into what
was then called the Pixies Peak
country. In 1859 Denver became
a town of one thousand inhabi-
tants, and by the next year had
grown into a big city with news
papers, theaters, and a govern
ment mint.
In 1861 the Territory of Col
orado was created and in 1876
Colorado was admitted as the
thirty-eighth state of the Union.
Its area is 1O3,94S square miles
and its population entities the
state to six presidential cleo
tors.
The name is taken from the
Colorado river, and is a Spanish
adjective meaning "colored red"
Colorado is often called the
Centennial State, as it was ad-
mitted to the Union just one
hundred years after the Declara-
tion of Independence.
