Important to Keep in

Watch the market conditions. or sup

varies considerably at frequent inter

A second consideration is the sort
of timber you have. Perhaps this
really ought to be the first c%onsidera-
ton, for Of course some timber is
worthless for saw logs. Furthermore,
the cost of cutting. hauling to the mill.
and saving and transferring to the
shipping point must be carefully cor.

Good Care Means
Bigger Pig Crop
Sow Should Be Placed in
Separate Pen Few Days
Before Due to Farrow.

The size of the pig crop Is deter
mined by the number of pigs saved,
not by the number narrowed. A large
Increase in the crop will often be Sc
cured by proper care Of the sow for
q few days previous to narrowing.
The SOW should be placed in a sep
arate pen several days before she Is
due to farrew. Essentials of good
narrowing quarters are cleanness,
warmth, dryness and freedom from
drafts. There should be guard rails
along the sides of the pen to give the
young pigs a chance to escape being
crushed against the walls or caught
under the SOW when she lies down.
Poles Or 2x4's placed around the in
side Of the pen about eight inches
above the floor and four inches out
from the wall make very satisfactory
guard rails and are inexpensive and
Easy to install.
Bedding should be provided. but
only a little. particularly II 1t is long
hay or straw. as the young pigs may
become %entangled in it and crushed
before they can escape.
Exercise 10 Safeguard.
Exercise. and a reduced grain ra-
ton. with some laxative feed added.
are safeguards against constipation.
any tend .cy to which is dangerous.
A constipated SOW will not recover
from narrowing as quickly. and will
be feverish and restless. often injur-
ing her pigs and in some cases eat
ing them.
II the narrowing quarters are not
roomy enough to allow the sows to
move about freely, exercise may be
given by turning those that are up
out in a yard together for a part of
the day. Let them work over some
alfalfa or clover hay, or gather up a
little coarse grain scattered on the
ground.
Reduce Grain Ration.
The grain ration should be reduced
n half. and some laxative feed
added, such as linseed meal or wheat
bran. as 500 as the SOW is placed in
the narrowing pen. A good rule is to
reduce the grain allowance one half,
and make one third by weight Of this
reduced allowance. wheat bran. The
allowance should be still further re-
duced just before narrowing, giving
not more than one pound, or about a
quart, to the feed.
And last. but not least, a few night
trips to the hog house during farrow.
Ing season will save many a litter.
A SOW will usually farrow within Il
hours after beginning to range q

Intestinal Parasites
Should Be Prevented

Prevention rather than cure is the
best Recommendation for treatment Of
worm troubles in pigs. 1t is surpris-
ing what other troubles can be started
from this n source. Soon after the
eggs OF parasites are swallowed. they
hatch and the new worms pass
through the walls of the intestines and
are carried into the lungs. where they
may cause thumps. coughing. pneu-
monia, and even stunt growth in young
pigs, or cause death in severe cases.
One Of the best methods Of prevent
ing worm troubles is to clean thor
oughly all the pens, s%crubbing them
with boiling water and lye before the
ntters or sows are placed in them. The
sows should be kept fairly clean, also,
and the newly narrowed pigs should be
kept entirely away from old lots and
any material soiled with the droppings
Of infested hogs.
The sow and pigs should not be al
lowed outside until they are placed on
fresh clean pasture not recently
grazed by other hogs. A leguminous
or fresh bluegrass pasture or q special
forage crop Is desirable. Clean drink
Ing water. a frequent shifting of the
feeding ground and regular change Of
bedding are essential. No mud holes
should be allowed to develop.

of Damage Done
by Plant Lice Is Large

The comparatively insignificant-look-
ing plant louise is perhaps individually
Of little consequence, but it is just
about the greatest multiplier on earth
and by the hosts which assemble on
shrubbery, garden plants, and all 9TH
er foliage, an enormous amount Of
damage is done.
Control measures must be inaugural
ed early, at least before the curling
Of the leaves. 1t Is hard to get rid of
plant lice after the leaves have be-
come tightly curled as they are sure
to become If the plant lice are allowed
to have their way.
On cucumbers, melons, etc, where
lice are found, excellent results have
been had with nicotine or tobacco dust
thoroughly applied. The nicotine sui
phate of 40 per cent strength diluted
at the rate Of a teaspoonful of the
nicotine sulphate to a gallon Of soapy
water. is also excellent.
The point which must be remem.
bered in spraying to control plant
lice is thoroughness.
Spray the upper and under surface
Of the leaves thoroughly. Be sure
to hit all Of the insects. This will re-
quire a fine, mist-like spray applied
with considerable pressure. Remember
that 1t is only the insects hat are hit
by the spray that are killed.

Milk Is Most Valuable
Feed for Young Chicks

MIX is a valuable iced for young
chicks, M II not only stimulates the
many forces required for normal
growth, but aids in the prevention of
diseases. Sour milk or buttermilk In
many cases actually proves n rene
dy for coccidiosls. the most dreaded
Of all chick diseases.
As long rs the chicks can be kept
growing rapidly they are less sus-
ceptible to disease OF any kind, but
especially TO coccidlosls and II is
largely on account Of Its aid in ward-
ing on this disease that many poultry
raisers have come to consider milk as
being essential for chickA during the
FIRST eight weeks.
OF course milk will not take the
place Of proper sanitation In warding
of this hishly-infectious disease when
the soil becomes contaminated with
the germs.-weckiy Press Bulletin.

Pays to Know How Many
Animals Farm Will Feed

The man who consistently follows
a well-established livestock system
on his farm is more prosperous than
the man who tries to be in when con.
dltions look good and out when they
look bad, said ii. NJ. Garlock OF the
Missouri College of Agriculture at
Farmers week. Usually the man who
follows the in.and-Out system is out
when he should be in and In when he
should be out.
Consistent livestock farming offers
By consistent livestock farming ia
meant a system where n definite num-
Der Of live stock Is included as a part
of the farm operation. The number
Of live stock kept should vary with
the size Of farm md crop rotation.
Meat animals will furnish n market
for crops and crop residue. distribute
labor throughout the year and pro
duce additional values in barnyard
There is no set rule for balancing
our crops and live stock that will NJ
all farms because OF the difference in
their location, size, topography, fer
tility and proximity to markets. but
there should be some relationship be
tween the crop rotation and the mum.
Der OF meat animals kept. The United
States produces annually between two
and three billion bushels OF corn, and,
according TO the best Information,
about so per cent OF this is fed TO live
stock while only about 8 per cent Is
used for human food. These figures
would indicate that the men produc
ing corn are dependent upon live stock
for n market for their product.

FACTS
Deficiencies of White
Corn for Feeding Pigs

In an experiment conducted at the
Illinois experiment station four sows
fed white corn and tankage produced
and raised pigs in W consecutive lit
tiers as well as did four other sows fed
yellow corr and tankage. Two of these
sows fed white corn were continued
On a ration of white corn and tankage
for a third CESSATION period. One SOW
farrowed a normal litter, but had In
fiammation Of the udder, followed by
pneumonia which resulted in her
death. The other cow narrowed a dead
litter at the end Of a CESSATION period
Of 124 days. The pigs had less hair
than normal pigs. They were examined
for goiter, but nothing was found. This
SOW was bred for a fourth litter and
fed the same ration, with potassium
lodide added. The litter came dead at
the end Of n CESSATION period of 118
days. For her fifth CESSATION period,
1 per cent of cod liver oil was added
to the ration of white corn and tank
age. This litter came normal at the
end Of a CESSATION period Of 11S days.
The pigs from the first filters Of the

narrowed In March and April, began
dying six weeks after weaving time.
and all were dead by December IT.
For several weeks preceding death, a
number of the pigs had a nervous trou-
BILE manifested by a general inco-ordi-
nation of parts. accompanied by con-
vulsions every few days. 1t was also
evident that the ration of white corn
and tankage was less palatable than
yellow corn and tankage, after the first
month. Some pigs died within five or
six weeks, while others continued on a
low plane of nutrition for months.
Autopsy, after the death Of those pigs
which had been on this ration for some
time, showed lung congestion or pneu-
monia in some cases; a few pigs had
stones in the kidneys; in two cases.
soreness Of the eyes was found; and
other pigs showed no complications.

or may not show indications of a ra-
ton deficiency before a marketable
weight Is attained. The exact nature
Of the deficiency in the ration Of
white corn and tankage is not definite
ly known, but considerable evidence
has been put forth to show that a
growth-promoting substance known as
vitamine A is lacking in this ration.
The deficiencies of this ration can be
overcome by feeding the pigs forage
or legume hay. The various grains and
protein supplements have not been
thoroughly tested, but some expert
mental work would indicate that a
number of the more common grains

Pastures or legume hays correct the

f%iciencies of white corn are noted only
after continued feeding In the dry lot.

SMOKING In the Far East.

pipes is quite a bother. They are so
small that they only hold enough to-
bacco for q few puffs. Then the ashes
have to be knocked out of the pipe
and it Is Immediately refllled.

These devotees of the pipe are looked
upon as very inferior to the men OF

they slave. AS the men do not like

WHEAT BREAD LONG IN. USE
According to Tradition, the Chinese
Knew of II Some Two Thousand
Years Before Christ.

Henry Buckle, the great English
historian, was one Of the first to point
out the Importance of food as q vital
factor In the progress Of a nation.
Bread has done more than all other
foods combined In changing man
from a savage to a civilized being.
The peoples Of the earth may be
roughly divided into two major
classes In respect to the food they
eat-the rice eaters and the bread
eaters. Such nations as Japan, for
merly rice eaters, are becoming more
and more like the western nations
in the consumption Of bread
Of course 1t Is not known when
bread was first used, but according
to one tradition Ching-Noung taught
the Chinese how to make bread from
wheat more than 1000 years b @.
Even In the time Of the patriarchs
both leaven and unleaven bread were
staple foods among the Hebrews. Fer
mented bread was known at an early
date among the Egyptians. The
secret became known to the Greeks,
who communicated 1t to the Romans.
With the conquering legions Of Rome
the invention spread throughout
northern Europe.
