Victory Is Sow That's
Farrowed so Pigs a Year

A Chester White sow belonging to
D. L. Brummett and his mother,
Mrs. B. P. Brummett, Of Childress
county, Texas, has farrowed so pigs
in II months and six days, and Mrs.
Brummett believes she is entitled
to an E pennant from the War Pro-
duction board. The sow, appropri-
ately, is named Victory. .
Victory's first litter of II males
and six females was farrowed on
June 6, 1912; the second of 10 males
and four females on November IA,
1912; and the third litter of II fe-
males and eight males on May II.
Bottle feeding some of the pigs, Mr..
Brummett raised % hogs from the
first two litters, and ID of the last
litter of 10 are living. The third
litter weighed As pounds at birth.
The two-year-old sow was pur-
chased for $4 when she was two
months old, and she has proved to
be a good investment. Mr.. Brum-
NETT received SITS for the pigs at
weaving time, and he saved back
one female which farrowed 10 pigs
May IA, as well as a meat hog
which weighed 275 pounds at seven
months of age. He considers the
$175 clear profit since the meat hog
and the bred gilt are worth their in
veStment in feed.

Arms Development Makes
This War of Explosives

This worldwide war could be
called accurately THE War Of Elk.
plosives.
Never before, since the Byzan-
tines used Greek Fire" in defense
of their city in 673, or since little
handful Of crude cannon doomed in
the Battle of Crecy in France, in
1916 has the world seen such prodi-
gal or destructive use of explosives
in combat. The expenditure of ex-
plosives reached what then seemed
tremendous amounts before the
First World war was over, with
machine-gun fire, artillery barrages,
marine mines, torpedoes and depth
charges playing major parts.
But in the present conflict there
have been increases all along the
line, Automatic rifles shoot faster.
Machine-guns are bigger and better
and hungrier for ammunition. AS
many as eight machine guns are
mounted on fighter-planes to send q
veritable cutting-edge of bullets at
the enemy. One type of fighter has
in addition four cannon throwing
explosive shells. These little flying
cannon range in bore from about
20 millimeters or four-ffths of an
inch, to 81 millimeters or about 1la
inches, the latter shooting shells
weighing a pound at rate of 85 a
minute.
Quick-fring anti-aircraft guns on
land and on naval vessels throw up
sheets of "fak" that cover large
areas of the sky. Tanks spit streams
of bullets and shells, while mortars
and field guns lay down barrages
more intense than any of the past.
Land mines, such as those buried
beneath African desert sands and
the black earth of Russia; sea
mines; depth charges; and torpe-
does eat up explosives by the tens
Of thousands of tons.

1mportant DECISION for Dairymen

-
The time of hay cutting is one of
the most important decisions q
dairyman has to make. Research
in Missouri has shown that timothy,
for example, has 1875 pounds of total
protein per acre if cut when coming
into bloom, whereas If cut when the
seed is in the dough, 1t contains
only 80 pounds of protein per acre.
The same general tendency in favor
Of early cutting is true Of alfalfa
and the clovers as it Is with timothy.
Besides having higher feeding
value, early-cut hay is more pal
atable, so cows eat more Of it. Fur
thermore, since early-cut hay has a
higher proportion of leaves to
stems than late-cut hay, there Is less
waste in feeding. Cows often re-
fuse the stemy stuff they are some
times offered. An additional advan-
tage of early cutting is that the sod
produces more vigorous renewal
growth which can be quite useful in
late summer.

Soldiers Save Money

American soldiers in overseas
theaters of operations are taking
advantage in increasing numbers
of their opportunity to save surplus
funds by depositing them with the
finance department of the army
service forces.
Soldiers deposits, which are re-
payable with per cent interest on
discharge from the army, now total
approximately $2l, ,0OO,O 600. This rep
resents about 134, 900 individual ac-
counts. Approximately 80 per cent
Of these are held by soldiers over
seas, the remainder by troops in
continental United States.
Accounts are growing at the rate
of approximately 10000 a month
Somewhat more than four -fifths of
these are being started by soldiers
overseas. The deposits provide a
safe means of caring for funds not
used for personal expenses, insur-
ance, allotments and war bonds.

Fathers Day Inspired by
Dads Devotion to Family

Fathers day was launched 39
years ago by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd
Of Spokane, Wash. Inspired by the
love and sacrifices of her Dad, .
Civil war veteran, who raised his
motherless family Of six on a farm
in eastern Washington, Mrs. Dodd,
then young wife and mother, wrote
a letter to the Spokane Ministers
alliance proposing the idea for a
special day to honor fathers.
The Ministers alliance was keenly
interested in Mrs. Dodd's suggestion
which called attention to fathers S
place in the home; his contribution
to the training of children; his role
in safeguarding the marriage ties
and his protection of womanhood
and childhood.
Together, the Ministers alliance
and the YMCA of Spokane helped
put the Fathers day idea into active
motion and Spokane in 1910 was the
first city to set aside a day to honor
fathers. Interest in the event spread
throughout the country and Mrs.
Dodd was showered with greetings
complimenting her upon her inspira-
tion.
Among the letters she received
was one from William Jennings
Bryan, who wrote: TOO much en-
phasis cannot be placed upon the
relation between parent and child"
James Whitcomb Riley also sent
his congratulations to Mrs. Dodd,
telling her, MY heart is with you in
this great work"

Nurses Given Army Training

With the growth of the army nurse
corps to keep pace with that of the
army, additional courses in military
orientation and physical conditioning
have established throughout the nine
service commands and nurse corps
units.
The courses generally require four
weeks of class room application and
drill ground eahsthenics at the time
the nurses enter the induction CEN
ters for enrolment in the corps.
Various adaptions of this plan are
used in the smaller centers or very
busy stations. For overseas units,
actual bivouac experience is soma
times set up to accustom the
nurse to working under the tent con-
ditions she will find in the field hos
pitals.

Extending Meat

One way of extending meat is to
use the meats with vegetables
serve meat stew or pie. Potatoes.
carrots, parsnips, turnips, green
beans-alnost any vegetable you
can name goes well in meat pies
and stews. The pasty top on pies
not only stretches the flavor; it adds
a full body to the stew and is crisp
and tasty. Cereals of all kinds Of
fer themselves as meat eXtenders-
meat sandwiches with gravy, meat
loaves or meat shortcake are all
good and take little meat to give
lots Of flavor.
