Der OF infants are artifically fed,

case, although the survey showed that
~evaporated milk In many cases had
proved an excellent substitute. for

By reason of the fact that evaporated

milk from which go per cent of the

practically every element necessary
for good health and is consequently
an excellent builder Of bone and tis-

Although authorities on health rec

food, like other substitutes for the
natural supply, 1t should not be con-
sidered as a food complete In itself.
Addition Of orange or tomato juice,
barley water or lime water is lmpor-
tant In providing adequate diet for

For babies, milk of dependable pur-
ity is essential. Market milk will not

Success in Hog Raising
Depends on Management

Farmers in all parts OF the country
In recent years have undertaken to
some extent the business Of hog grow
ing, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. For many years
farmers, particularly in the principal
corn-growing states, have recognized
that hog raising is one Of the quickest
and surest ways to market their crops
Success In this enterprise depends
in large measure upon proper manage
ment and suitable equipment, accord
ing to Farmers Bulletin 149O-F, "Hog-
Lot Equipment" just issued by the de-
partment.
Defective fences, say the authors,
are responsible for considerable an
noyance, disagreement among neigh
bors, damage to gardens and crops,
and often for the appearance Of dis
ease. The average farm fence is more
often unsatisfactory because of faulty
construction than on account Of I'M
suitable materials. Woven wire is re-
arded by the department as the most
practical hog-tight fence. The dura-
hility Of this type Of fence, says the
bulletin, depends largely upon how &C.
rurely the corner posts are set.
The new publication contains nu-
merous other suggestions as to
%troughs, feeding floors or platforms,
self-feeders, hay feeders, shades, oil
ers and dipping watts, wallows, breed
ing and shipping crates, loading
chutes, scales, record books and other
equipment. A copy Of the bulletin

Definite Plan Required
for Feeding the HOrss.

Adoption Of q rather definite plan
for feeding and replenishing the farm
work stock Is one way that Is open to
many farmers to cut down expenses
and thereby increase profits, In the
opinion Of j. L. Edmonds, chief In
horse ~husbandry at the college Of ag-
riculture, University Of Illinois. AT
the present time this matter Is too
frequently neglected, he says.
Good crop rations which involve
the growing OF a liberal acreage Of
legumes produce an abundance of ex-
cellent horse feed When legume
hays, such as clover. alfalfa and soy
beans, are used for horse feeding, they
can be fed more satisfactorily and eco
n%omically il one-third to one-half Of
the roughage is made up of a carbo-
naceous roughage. Oats straw, orn
slower and similar feeds are satisfac-
tory for this purpose during parts of
the year. Sheaf oats could be much
more widely used than they are. The
point is that legume hays should not
be overfed.
Sweet clover pasture supplies both
good and cheap feed Some perma-
nent blue grass pasture is necessary
for horses; nothing else will stand as
much tramplng as a good blue grass
sod. However, the sweet clover pas
ture supplies an abundance of feed
when the blue grass is practically dor
mant during the hottest weather.
When market prices Of coarse grains
are as low as they were this year the
wise plan is to use these feeds to
stoke horse and mule motors for farm
work. Their use for this purpose re-
, duces power costs and tends to in
rrease prices Of these grains by help
ing to keep big SURPRISES of the
market.

E FOR EWES
DURING WINTER

The feeding OF the eve flock during
the winter months depends a great
deal on the condition of the ewes at
the beginning of winter.
II the ewes are In good flesh m
in a vigorous condition. explains w.
c. Skelley, assistant animal husband
man at the New Jersey State College
OF Agriculture, legumlnous r~oughages
such as alfalfa, clover, oats and peas,
and soy bean hay, will be sufficient for
the greater part Of the pregnancy pc
Rod. Timothy and marsh hays should
never be fed TO ewes, as they are con
stipating and may cause losses An
other objection TO timothy hay Is that
the heads get into the wool, making
ii hard to shear and lowering Its mar
ket price. Where corn stalks are
available they may be added to the
legume hay, as they give good results
and also cut down costs. Roots and
silage If available may be added to
The ration In moderate amounts, but
care should be taken to see that they
are not frozen, moldy, or sour, for
they may cause abortion.
If the yves are in poor condition
at the beginning Of winter, a small
mount of grain should be added to
heir ration. A good mixture Is two
parts of oats, one part Of corn, and
one part of bran, fed In amounts Of
about half pound to each eve q day.
One of the problems Of the sheep
owner is to have his ewes give enough
milk for the lamb. Frequently, when
ives have been fed the entire winter
on roughage, they have no milk.
This difficulty can be overcome, how
ever, by light grain feeding, beginning
Jour to six weeks before the ewes are
iue to lamb. Two parts Of oats and
one part of bran make an excellent
mixture fed at about the rate Of half
A pound to each eve a day.
Another point to keep In mind about
the ewes is to see that they get plenty
Of exercise, since this insures stronger
and healthier lambs, and the ewes will
have less trouble In delivery. To get
them TO take exercise a good plan Is,
On bright clear days, to scatter some
Of their roughage in the field and al
low them to feed In the open On
wet stormy days they should be kept
inside, as their fleece will get wet and
colds or pneumonia may result

SEQCK
~SELF-FEEDER
TO REDUCE COSTS

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
S~elf-feeding of sows and their lit
ters not only saves times needed for
other farm operations, but also gives
satisfactory results, say animal
h~usbandry experts Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
During tests carried on by the depart
ment both sows and pigs kept In the
settled lots looked better and were
more thrifty than those In the hand
fed lots.
When hogs Of any age have con
slant access to ~self-feeders there Is
practically no danger Of their over
eating, according to Farmers Bulletin
1504-F, @Self-feeding Versus Hand
Feeding Sows and Litters." This is Of
considerable Importance In the case
Of sows which are sucking their lit
ters. An additional advantage OF the
self-feeder system is the freedom from
o~vercrowding at the feeders which is
usual when hand feeding Is practiced.
The general plan Of feeding the
settled lots was to supply certain
feeds In the self-feeders which were
constantly accessible both to the sows
and their pigs. The sows and pigs in
the handled lots were given twice
daily all they would readily eat Of
identically the same feeds as were
contained in the ~self-feeders for the
settled lots.
1t Is adv1saDIe " raise two utters
a year from sows move than a year
old on farms having sufficient equip
ment, thereby reducing the overhead
expense per pig.
Details concerning the tests are
given IN the new publication, a copy

ROAD
THINNER PAVING
BRICK FAVORED

The Department of Agriculture an
nounces that a saving of at least
S2,OO0,000 will result from reduction
In the thickness of paving brick shown
to be possible without danger of
street and highway deterioration.
The announcement was made follow
ing tests by the bureau of public roads
at Arlington, Va. Ii Is estimated that
traffic was equivalent to Is years of
traffic on the average highway.
1t is expected, the report says, that
the use of four-inch brick will be prac-
ucally abandoned as a result of the
test. 1t states that more than 10000
600 square yards of brick pavements
were laid in the United States In 1925
and at least 90 per cen were laid with
brick of three-inch or greater thick
ness.
The text of the report in part fol.
lows:
An annual saving to American tax
payers Of at least $2,0OO,O00 will be the
result Of the reduction in the thick
ness of paving brick shown to be pos
sible without danger of streets and
highways deterioration by tests re-
Gently made by the bureau of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture.
This should be cheering news to
John Smith. taxpayer, who has been
called upon lately to dig rather deeply
Into his pocket for the cash to pay for
admittedly necessary public improve
ments. 1t is also another bit Of EVIL
dence of the value Of the research and
experimentation in highway and street
construction which have been carried
on actively by the federal bureau and
the state highway departments and
college laboratories for the past sew
eral years.
Quoted at Arlington, Va, were made
on a circular track divided into sew
eral sections each of which was paved
with a different thickness of brick.
One section was paved with the 4-inch
brick Which has become the standard
as the result of 80 years of usage.
Others were paved with 3h, 3, 2h
and pinch sizes. In all respects other
than the thickness of the brick the
construction of the several sections
was identical.
Heavy trucks driven around the
track subjected all thicknesses of brick
to the same traffic, and the test was
continued until each section had been
subjected to 62,200 passages of the test
trucks. During 22,20O passages the
trucks were equipped with heavy non
skid chains ON the rear wheels.
AS the trucks were driven constant.
iy over a narrow band of the pave
ment 1t is estimated that the traffic
to which the surfaces were subjected
was equivalent to IS years of traffic
on the average highway.
The results of the test definitely
prove that 21a-inch brick of the quality
used, when properly supported on a
firm foundation, will prove satisfac-
tory for pavements carrying the heav-
lest traffic; and Pinch brick are shown
to be entirely satisfactory for streets
carrying the lighter types of traffic.
1t is expected that the use of 4-inch
brick, the common practice for many
years, will be practically abandoned as
a result of the test, and that engi-
neers, generally, will adopt the thinner
types.

Ohio to End Detouring
on Roads Under Repair

A new program has been adopted by
the Ohio state highway department
which will eliminate the detour nui-
sance on roads which are being re-
paired and in places where bridges are
being constructed.
Detours are to be established only
In places where new roads are being
built, and in those cases they will be
made as short as possible and will be
improved temporarily.
On roads that are being repaired
half of the highway is to be left open
for one line of traffic.
