breeder Is Anxious for
Strong Litter of Pigs

When the sows start narrowing in
the fall the breeder is anxious that
there will be large litters of strong
and vigorous pigs. This can be ac-
complished If the feeding and care of
the brood ows is adequate. Usually
the herd during the summer months
are under more favorable conditions
han in the winter If they have
plenty of succulent forage. shade n
water. most of the problem of feeding
Is solved.
The sows should gain enough to equal
that which they will lose during the
time Of narrowing and the lactation
period which follows. This gain for
u mature SOW should be in the neigh.
borhood of 10 or so pounds. The gain
should be u little larger in the case
OF yearling sows.
During the first part of the gesta-
ton period it should not be necessary
to feed grain If the sows have access
to "A good pasture. Every attempt
should be made TO maintain them upon
green forage, because the sows will
then have plenty Of exercise and the
cost OF feeding and care will be mate
rally decreased. In addition this Is
the ideal condition for n brood SOW
and later they will have IN easier time
in plugging, the pigs will come in bet
ter condition, and the milk flow will
be ample.
The suws should never be allowed
to lose flesh. They should make the
required gain in flesh indicated above
and this can be done during the last
half of the ummer. During this time
and up until the time of narrowing
the sows should receive some grain.

grain to feed and the time to start

The feed which a SOW requires is
important but the shade and water are
also important considerations. There
should be plenty of shade and the
water should be fresh. cool and in IN
pie amounts. In extremely hot weather
there should be some place In which

CHAPTER VI
Pierre Takes Steps to Preserve His
Property.

Pierre Takes Steps to Preserve HI.
Property.
A log fell forward and Joan lifted
her head. She had not come to an end
Of 1sabella's tragedy nor of her own
memories, but something other than
the falling log had startled her; a
light, crunching step upon the snow.
She looked toward the window. For
an instant the room was almost dark
and the white night peered in at her,
its gigantic s~now-peaks pressing
against the long, horizontal window
panes, and in that instant she saw Il
face. Joan came TO her feet with
pounding pulses. 1t had been Plerre's
face, but at the same time the face
of a stranger. He had come back
five days too soon and something ter
rible had happened. Surely his chanc-
ing to see her with her book would
not make him look like that. Besides,
she was not wasting oil. She had
stood up, but at first she was Incapable
of moving forward. For the first time
in her life she knew the paralysis of
unreasoning fear. Then the door
opened and Pierre came In out of the
crystal night.
"what brought you back so soon7"
asked Joan.
Too soon for you, eh?" He strobe
over to the hearth where she had lain,
took up the book, struck 1t with his

by what you want, but where it amt
so easy to hold onto It. II 1t amt
yer land it's yer bosses; If it amt
yer bosses it's yer wife," He looked
at Joan and laughed.
Pierre went white and dumb; the
chance shot had infiamed his wound.
He strapped on his sn%owshoes and
bade a grim good-by to Joan, after
the man had left. Don't you be
wastin' oil while I'm away" he told
her sharply, standing In the doorway,
his head level with the steep wall of
snow behind him, and he gave her a
threatening look SO that the tender
ness In her heart was frozen.
After he had gone, "Pierre, say a
real %good-by, say g%ood-by," she whis-
pered. Her face cramped and tears
came.
She heard his steps lightly crunch
Ing across the hard, bright surface of
the snow; they entered into the ter
rible frozen silence. Then she turned
from the door, dried her eyes with her
sleeve like a little village girl, and
ran across the to a certain shelf.
Pierre would be gone a week. She
would not waste oil, but she would
read. 1t was with the appetite Of a
starved creature that she fell upon
her books.

Diversified Crops Aid
Weed Control Campaign

Weed control through the growing
Of diversified crops Is now being
practiced successfully. as a result of
agricultural extension work, in Kit.
son county, Mimi, and other parts Of
the Red River valley, to further the
states efforts in that direction, nc
cording to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The growing of clover and rye. par
ticularly, is taking the place of the
former practice of summer following
in combating the SOW thistle (Which
has developed into a menace, as rye
is cut before the SOW thistle seeds).
while the clovers, especially sweet
clover, making u rank growth. crowd
out the weeds.
Sweet clover has only been grown
for pasture in Kittson county about
four years, but Is rapidly rising in
favor as a dependable pasture crop.
The change In the cropping system of
the county is indicated by the con-
trast of censu figures for 1910 which
show the wheat acreage that year
was nine times that of the total area
planted to rye, clover, corn, and po-
tatoes, witt figures for 1922, when
the area planted to rye. clover. corn,
and potatoes equaled that planted to
wheat. The paintings of rye and
clover have increased in the last u
years from 5000 acres in 1910 to Co.
0O0 acres in 1929.

tants of the volcanic region. The
danger is not yet ended for the crate r
of the mountain still is belching
forth streams Of lava and great rocks
which threatened the complete de-
struction of nearby communities but
undoubtedly the violence Of the erup-
ton is decreasing.
A relatively small number of craters
about 20 in number-opened dur

to prophesy how long Etna will con-
tinue active but they expect re-
turn to more normal conditions with
in short time. Although the loss
in property has been enormous the

terror has claimed no human lives
The physical injuries have been cx-
tremely rare.
Latest estimates placed the damage
ut more than 100 million lire, ex-

by the showers of asncs and cinders.
This destruction extends over a vast
area.
