Live Stock Hints


Night stabling is to be recommend
ed during the time horses are being
conditioned for spring work.
March and September are probably
the best months for the sow to farrow
that produces two filters year.
There is a feeling that because
many people do not like lamb. the
feeding of sheep is a very precarious
practice. This sentiment should be
dropped.
1t is a good plan TO keep the ram
shut up in the barn during the day
time. Give him plenty of good hay.
clean water and one and half pounds
OF grain per day. consisting of three
parts of oats to one of shelled corn.
Twenty-four years Of hog prices
show that the highest yearly price
and the seasons low price in Deem
Der or January.
Recent tests at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station show that spring
pigs weighing around 20 pounds when
put on full feed In June can be fitted
for market in approximately 90 days
by feeding them shelled corn and
good protein supplement In self-feeders,
plus an abundance Of green feed or
pasture.
Before breeding the SOW It Is impor-
cant TO have her gaining In flesh, and
IL she has Just finished nursing a
batch Of pigs or Is still doing so, 1t
means heavy feeding, but flushing
the sow before breeding her is as i'm
portant as flushing the eve.
Straws and poor hay can be made
more palatable If cut and sprinkIed

African Province Found
to Be Zealand Oasis

A plague-prevention survey Of Africa
resulted in the discovery Of a spot
which is absolutely free Of feas and
the incident was regarded as SO re-
markable that the Investigators tar
ried for some explanation of the un-
usual situation. This favored spot
was the town of Prieska and the coun-
try Immediately surrounding it. Fleas
are VIGOROUSLY good carriers Of the
germs of this disease and therefore
the entire wide reaches of Africa were
Systematically searched for animals

tain dogs at Prieska, which lies on the
Karroo prairies Of the Cape Of Coed

Not a solitary jumper could be

Prevent Dust in Hog
Houses to Aid Health

During winter months when hogs
are more tightly housed. dust from
houses with dirt floors becomes an in
creasing annoyance. Dust from the
soil, the dried droppings. and old bed
ding rises as the hogs move about.
1t not only offends the nostrils of the
man caring for the swine but can
also become detrimental to the health
of the hogs themselves.
Ventilation of houses does not al
ways eliminate this dust. II is pos
sible, in addition, to check the trouble
at its source. Simply clean the floors
before cold weather and pour old
crank case oil over them 1t does not
require any great quantity. Merely
enough to absorb the thin top layer
of dust As bedding is changed dur
ing the winter an additional small
amount of the oil can be spread on
the floor after the old bedding has
been removed and before the new bed
ding has been put in

Crossbred Hogs Led in

Crossbred swine led in daily gains

more economical gains from cross
breeding. So, there's two for and

a VERY prominent woman executive
recently made a statement Of
great significance which, because of
her own important position, was re-
ported In newspapers all over the
country as an almost official announce
ment on the position of women today.
She said that industry, which has
always been a mans world" is now
adapting itself to women. That far
from keeping women out, as they used
to, employers are now even adapting
their plants to Tabor demands" La
other words, women have now become
a vital factor in industry.
This decreasing industralization Of
woman, we are told, has given her a
greater purchasing power than that
exercised when ''she was solely a
housewife" and this reorganization of
society has made the home less i'm
portant' In the life Of women today.
1t is that conclusion that is so signi-
icant, followed as it is by this frank
declaration: "The home as an econo-
mic institution has passed out OF our
lives. Girls no longer find enough to
do In the home and must 90 out Of
It If they are to be Of any economic
Importance whatever"
With that take direct issue. feel
that as long as civilization remains
as it Is, as long as we have children
and families, the home can never be
LESS important" It must always be
Of paramount importance.
I believe that the trouble with the
home for the alert, modern girl who
wants TO retain her personality and
grow as an individual is not that she
does not find enough TO do in the
home" but rather that she is in dam
ger Of finding too much TO do-that
is that she needs outside interests to
keep her from becoming suppressed
by the home. / am the last person In
the world TO minimize the Importance
Of these outside interests or TO object
10 outside work for which she may
feel temperamental need

Turning Back the
Leaves of Time
BY Douglas MalIoch

OULD 1 turn back the leaves Of
~ time,
As / can turn this calendar,
Perhaps no folly and no crime
The record Of the years would mar.
I would erase my errers and
Undo the evil I have done
But what is written now must stand,
I cannot turn them back, not one.
Could I turn back the leaves Of life
And live it over day by day,
There would be peace where there
was strife,
And where grieved would be gay.
I would trust more, or not too much,
Or I myself would worthier be
But all the moments that we touch
Are ours, and then eternity.
Could I turn back, but I can turn
The leaf alone that lies ahead.
God grant that something wise l learn
From something foolish that I said
The book Is closed, the record there
Is written for a life, an age;
But I can be more good, more fair,
And make the next a cleaner page.

State Admits
 Lack Of Evidence To Convict Men
Davidson and Dezinno Have Cases Against Them NOlled After Several Delays-Figued in ColIi- sion on Meriden Road = Hunter Also Wins Acquittal

Lack of evidence to warrant even Q trial resulted in a nolle being recommended and granted today in the cases of Norman c. Davidson of IS Woodbridge avenue, Anso- mia, and Raymond N. Dezinno, 31, of a East Farm street. Both were charged with operating motor vehicles while under the influence of liquor. Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell c. Meyers informed Judge John F. McGrath that the state did not possess sufficient evidence to insure any successful prosecution and with the courts permission he would dispose of the cases by the Y1olle process. The court had no objections.
 Five police officers would have been involved in the joint hearing, Captain Frank R. Cutting, Lieu- tenant John Dunphy and Patrol men MsElligott, Sullivan and Cof- fey.
 On Sunday, Sept goth it was alleged by the police that Davidson and DeZinno were the drivers 1n- volved in an accident on the Meri- den road. No one was injured. The two accused were stopped and ques- fioned some distance from the scene of the crash. Both had explana- tions to offer and both resented the insinuations of the police that they had been drinking. A show down was called for today after the cases had been continued several times. The charges were nolled withoua any evidence being offered. None of the five police officers named were in police court.
 A nolle was also entered in the ease of John Dudzinauskas, 39, of SIS Congress avenue, who was arrested by Game Warden R. F. Mclean on the charge of violating the game laws, hunting out or sea-

son. To make the day one of nolles, the charge of reckless driving pre- ferred against Warren Hopkins, 2d, of Hotel Lenox, Boston, was dis missed. He was arrested by State Trooper w. J. Mayo and detained under bonds to face the charge of reckless driving.
 The only case tried this morn ing was that of Maurice Mahoney, 2S, of 29 Henry street. He was arrested last night by Patrolman Charles Nolan on the charges of intoxication, tampering with an automobile and resisting arret. He was fined @ total of $20 and costs on the first wto counts. The third complaint was disposed of with a suspended sentence.
 Officer Nolan's attention to Ma honey was called by Walter Smet- hurst, a local insurance agent, who recently had his machine stolen. He noticed Mahoney stepping in and out of the cars parked on Church stret. He realized that the young man was attempting to start the motors of the various cars he had boarded. When Officer Nolan approached the line of parked ma- chimes Mahoney leaped out of one and started to run away. He gave the officer a battle before submit ting to arrest.
 Mahoney admitted that he had been drinking a little last evening and explained his conduct of in- specting the machines with the statement that friend of his had given him permission to take his car and also loaned him his reg istration card. He exhibited the card as evidence. The court, how ever, accepted the statements of Officer Nolan and imposed the fines as mentioned.
