Care Of the PIG

NO animal will stand as poor treat

gree of truth that no animal will re-

treatment
To have a pig make hog of him.

with the least cost must be the aip
of the successful swine grower. This
PIG of a few weeks, from the very
first nourishment it obtains other
than through the mother SOW must
have feed both of the right quality
land quantity. He must start right
land then things run smoothly if he
lis kept in his straight and narrow
way.
i A pig, it has been well said, is like
a car standing on the track, 1t takes
a good deal to start it but when once
started it keeps going Let 1t stop
and all new energy has to be applied
again to get it to move.
There are two main things in the
care of a young pig which / have
found must be insisted upon in order
ito make him a profitable two-hun-
ldred-pounder in the shortest possible
time. at the least cost. The first is
never let him become "poddy." The
result is that he will be as lively as
(any. eat Just as well, and feel just
as well, in fact he will do anything
YOU would naturally expect Of pig

has pushed his diaphragm towards
his vital organs and his Oh
gestive organs assume abnormal pro-
portions, and he is the hog which.

The other main point to be insisted
upon is never let your pig get the

time being, lis as bad OF as your poddy,

last ten days Of hogs life is large
per cent of the profit. for remember.
it is not the difference of ten days on

ference of ten days on two-hundred

We lay special stress on these two
points of young pigs life, for we
have found by experience that they
are very essential in the swine bust

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on Drow1ings

The insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss Of life by
drowning the Red Cross is making
constant Roadway The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer
Gus the past year that it was neces-
sary to more than double the staff Of
Red Cross instructors. This work Of
training for water life-saying showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and man, indicating that the
youths Of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our

Annual Summons TO

On Arrnistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf Of stricken Japan early In
September gave the answer to the
question, what Is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that 1t was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request of
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief Of the many thou
sands OF sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled in ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important.
1t is imperative that the structure
Of the American Red Cross be made
up Of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November II,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 20, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends Of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling

with renewed enthusiasm due to the

Good Rat Killer

Take broad piece of plank and lay
it down where the rats do their mis-
chief. Put some cornmeal, or some
thing the rats like, on the plank Keep
this up for several days until the rats
all get used to going there for their
daily meal Then take I've and mix
with molasses or syrup and put a ring
of the mixture around the meal When
the rats come they will get 1t on their
feet. They will then lick their feet
and their tongues will have the mix

Matted Growth Produces Fewer ard
Poorer Fruit Than the n lIl cultivation
In the West. where an frnit grow
ing has been reduced to w1FkI
science the matted-row system 0E
growing strawberries Is seldom toll
Grated. Good cultural processes can
not be followed under this old slip
shod plan. Thorough cultivation can
be carried on. The wide matted strip
can only be hand weeded, and owing
to the lack of soil stirring in this row
or bed the moisture-conservin dust
mulch is always absent. Even with a
fair amount of thinning out (Which
is seldom given by those who follow
this method) no plant has space or
culture enough to develop well.
Hill culture, which means the keep
ing down of all runner growth and
centralizing the strength of the soil
and the moisture in the original hills
set, conforms strictly to good cultural
theory and practice. Naturally 1T pro-
duces the highest results. In good,
rich land the roots of a single hill
will form a great mass of roots IL to
Is inches In every direction. From
this one heavily rooted plant from
three to six strong, sturdy fruit
crowns will come out, with great
mass of foliage and long, strong fruit
stems. The sun and air get an even
chance at all the hills, and on nearly
all sides of each hill, so that the fruit
specimens are much larger, more
evenly and highly colored and firmer
for the long-distance shipment The
LARGEST known yields are from the
hill plantations.
If planted in the check row--as
most growers do on the west coast, 80
inches apart each way-the shallow
running cultivator can be operated
both ways. tolerably close to the hills,
so that the necessary earth mulch is
constantly maintained. If planted in
the double row, alternating with the
wide space for pickers, as many have
it. the cultivation cannot be quite SO
thorough, but there are compensating
advantages.
Under both the check-row and the
doubierow systems strict hill culture
is observed All runners are kept
down, and the whole strength of the
land centered in the original hills.
The labor of keeping down the run
ners is considerable so also is the
hand wedding IN the old matted row.
Soft, unevenly colored berries are the
inevitable result of the crowded plants
of the old matted row; while large
size, even color and firm texture are
the results of the hill system.
The hill plantations can be fortified
and cultivated SO thoroughly that the
plantations can be carried double the
number of years from one planting
that the matted row can-another
compromising advantage that would
fully even the labor question.

Red Cross Field
Of Action Covers
All the World

Represented by 1865 members, the
American Red Cross penetrates to
nearly every part OF the world The
insular and foreign roll call statistics
for the past year are most conclu-
sive manifestation Of the Red Cross
spirit carried into the most remote
lands. In Europe there are 4,088
members; in Turkey, and active in
the Constantinople Chapter, 3,545. Chi
ma has an enrolment of 2,252; Africa,
1886; India, 224, and Australia, 20.
Even Vladivostok, in frigid Siberia,
has live chapter with 100 members.
The Philippine Islands can mobilize
58,747 under the Red Cross banner
and Hawaii 1868. The total funds
raised through foreign and insular
membership enrolment and sent to
national headquarters in Washington
mounted to $6O.216.54, while an add
tional $33,350 was forwarded for the
endowment fund of the American Red
Cross. The high seas roll call in 1922
was an inspiring success. The Navy
signed on 4,331 for the Red Cross and
she merchant ships 4,141. OF the to-
sal membership outside the United
States $500 are registered with chap
tiers in foreign lands, the insular pos
sessions and dependencies.

Az Ion Has Been Measured BY Col

toQc Ff9fS38DTs
The smallest thing in the world has
been discovered. 1t is an Ion. For q
long time the atom held this place,
being so small that 1t could not be
seen with the most powerful magnify
ing glass. The next smallest thing
was molecule, made up of atoms OF
various elements. Thus a molecule OF
water is made up of one atom of oxy-
gen and two atoms of hydrogen.
Now we hear that the atom may be
broken up into fragments called ions.
TIE ion is both the smallest guam
tity of electricity capable of existing
in q free state. 1t is so small that IL

And yet these ions have been isolat-
ed and measured in the labratory OF
Prof. r. A. Milliken of the University
of Chicago. Professor Milltken has
