Government the mothers and I'M
married widows OF the young men
buried In France, American soldiers
OF the late war, to go to France for
the purpose of seeing the places
where their sons and husbands are
buried.

Sows and filters are now settled Ia
preference TO being handled at the
government farm as a result of tom
clusions formed from a three-year
study of the two methods. The gem
eral plan of the test was to place the
same kinds of feeds in separate COM
partments of a self-feeder for sows
and filters being settled as were given
TO the handled group. The handled
sows and litters were fed all they
would readily clean up twice daily
while the settled sows and filters had
free access TO the self-feeder at all
times.
The results of the three-year test in

both labor and feed; the settled lot
was more thrifty than the handled
lot; a total of AL pounds of feed was
required for 100 pounds of grain In
the settled lots, while the handled
lots required 603 pounds; the pigs
from the settled lots made greater
daily gains from narrowing to wean-
ing and also during the various tests
In which they were subsequently used.

ing of sows and pigs occurred at the
self-feeder wen where there was a
large number of sows with litters In
one lot. There is also less danger of
oyereating when feed is available at
all times as is the case with self-feed-
Ing.
Sows and litters may be put on the
self-feeder as Don as the SOW is on
full feed after narrowing. The trials
also indicated that 81 per cent of sows
from settled lots when bred settled
at the first service, as against AZ per
cent for the handled sows.
