Some men breed gilts at ten or eleven months, while others do not breed until they are two years old. Never select a brood sow with a long, lean, narrow head and a wicked little eye. She is apt to be nervous and cross and a pig eater. It is a good plan to feed a little grain to the growing pigs, even though they are running on good pastures. In the South many hog raisers turn their young hogs out into the swamps along the rivers and creeks, and pay no attention to them during the entire summer, rounding them up in tlie fall, only to feed them two or three weeks before shipping them to market. Some surprisingly good results are obtained in this way, too. Sows with a young litter should be watched carefully, for there are many sows that do not give enough milk to start the pigs off well. In such cases the youngsters should be fed a little whole cow's milk, warmed at first, and later skim milk, with a handful of shorts in it. The man who raises pigs for mar ket, and pushes them along with some grain, shorts and oats, even while they are running in rich pastures, will bring them to perfection much more quickly than if they are allowed to run on grass alone, until fall. Keep the box full of charcoal, salt and sulphur, where the pigs can get at it all the time. It may surprise you to find out how much they will eat, but it will pay to provide this food for them. When pigs are old enough to eat they should be fed in a separate pen from that in vt'hich theij mother is confined. A door just large enough to admit the pigs and keep out the mother should be placed in the parti tion, so the youngsters can come and go at will. Sunshine and exercise are the indis pensable rights of all farm animals. Modern hog houses are, as a rule, too close, too warm and too comfort able. Poor ventilation is the common fault and the inaccessibility to sunlight is an equally serious one. It is a sad mistake to imagine that increasing the bulk of the feed for hogs by adding water will do them any good. Clean food and clean quarters will keep the hogs healthy. Keep the troughs clean. Never feed any fermented food. Among the. feeds that should be given is skim milk, which is very good, as it contains a large amount of pro tein, and is bulky. Clover is an ex ceptionally good feed in the green state, and even clover hay steamed proves very nutritious. Oil meal cake contains much nutriment of the right kind. Where alfalfa can be had it is also good. Oats in various forms fur nish the exact kind of nutriment most serviceable for the breeding animals. The sow that is carrying pigs needs a large amount of protein food on ac count of the extra bodies she is build ing up. But care must be taken not to have too much protein in the food, as the starchy parts are. also needed. The starch-forming elements should be five or six times tlie protein elements. This Is about the composition of oat meal. Bran is a highly nitrogenous feed and should be balanced with something else when it is fed. All plants that have pods are rich in pro tein and are thus good materials out of which to make food for breeding swine. Young boars will usually make bet ter growth if kept separated fromthe sows. There might be conditions or exceptions where this would not be true,' but they will certainly be rare. Not only should the. boar be separat ed from the sows when there are young pigs around, but at all other times. The mos' expensive way of keeping a boar 1 *o let him run with the rest of the heru.

Pigs make the heaviest and cheap est gains in live weight during the first two months of their existence. Changes in the character or quan tity of the ration should always be made very gradually. Do not judge a brood sow alone by the number of pigs she raises. Qual ity must always be considered. Six or seven £ood even pigs are often worth more than nine or ten uneven ones. When you get a business sow keep her as long as she does well. GOOD REMEDY FOR PARALYSIS IN HOGS Colorado Expert Recommends Treatment for Ailment Cause of Trouble. (By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado. Ag ricultural College.) Partial or complete paralysis of the hind legs of hogs is s^en so often in swine herds that a Common cause has been suspected but not definitely determined. Inbreeding, parasites, and an unbal anced ration, have each in turn been assigned as the probable cause of this particular form of paralysis, and now ii. is quite generally attributed to a lack of phosphate of lime. This salt in a form that can be appropriated niay be deficient in the ration or not properly appropriated by the tissues of the body, or again, it may be be cause of a drain on the system for phosphates to nourish the growing fetus or the young after birth. It is a well-known fact that there is a deficiency of phosphate of lime in the bones ..and other tissue of preg nant animals and in those that are suckling their young. This is especial ly true of the sow. But this condition is not confined to pregnant animals. In one instance a herd of 44 hogs, of both sexes, and ages ranging from ten months to two years, nearly all of them were affected with partial or com plete paralysis of the hind legs. The ration had been largely raw potatoes. They appeared to suffer no pain, the appetite was quite normal. A balanced ration would probably have prevented this condition. The following treat ment has been recommended and should be helpful in these cases. One tablespoonful of cod liver oil, 15 grafns phosphate of lime and three drops of fluid extract of nux vomica mixed with the food twice a day. KEEP LAYING HENS MOVING IN WINTER Throw Their Feed in Litter of Some Kind and Make Them Scratch for It. Make your hens work for all they get to eat. Keep them moving about during the day as much as possible by throwing their feed in chaff, cut straw, Shredded cornstalk or other material. Give them as much of a variety of grain as you possibly can. Wheat, oats, cracked corn, barley and buckwheat are all good, but should be mixed together when fed. Never feed all of one kind of grain at one time. They like a variety. ,For green food, second cutting of clover is one of the best. Cabbage, carrots and mangel-wurzels can also be fed to advantage. They shouid. be fed at least three times a week meat of some kind. Beef scraps soaked and mixed with bran, enough to take up the moisture, answers this purpose. Skim milk add ed to the mash will give good results. Plenty of fresh water and grit should be vfttere they can have access to it at all times. •w 8eparate the Hogs. TIME'S CHANGES IN ATCHISON City's Parlor Walls Form a Complete, Comprehensive History of Art, Fqlly Illustrated. In a town the size of Atchison it is 'not necessary to join an art study class to learn the history of art it is written on the walls of the houses in the town. When an engraving of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" hangs on the 'wall, and a chromo of a woman with a shawl over her head stares over her left shoulder as though she were making a wish on the new moon, the house is ruled from kitchen to parlor by "mother," and she is be tween sixty and seventy years of age, and believes in the "old masters." When Madonnas holding fat babies are on the parlor walls, and highly thin women in red robes tooting bright yellow horns which they hold to their mouths with wooden fingers, the lady of the house adores sacred, art and knows how to pronounce Fra Angelica, Bondenlfousen, Raphael and the test. When there is a picture on the wall of a weak-looking boy hanging on the neck of a motherly looking woman, while father and children look on, vis itors at the house recognize the art that was born during the Chicago world's fair, and when "Breaking Home Ties" became the rage. A little later period in the art his tory of the town is represented by pic tures on the parlor walls of a fine, healthy looking young man wearing a monk's habit, with the cowl slipping off from his thick liair. People posted in "art" know that is a picture of Hosea. When there are pen-and-ink sketches of square-jawed men and tall, bony young women in very low-neck eve ning dresses the rage of Gibson pic tures (now about extinct) is repre sented. When there are water-color pictures of girls with pink cheeks, lips puck ered up as though ready to be kissed, and colored pictures of a chubby little girl, under which is written "Inno cence," with a scattering of funny pic tures of gayly colored English ladies and gentlemen climbing in and out of busses, "modern art" is displayed and the presiding genius of the house is a bride, and those pictures were wedding gifts.—Atchison Globe. Animal Actors. The impression is created by an oc casional moving picture of wild animal life that the beasts, in order to force them into, poses for the camera, are cruelly treated. Nothing, however, it is said, is farther from the truth, Careful investigation has shown thai force is seldom employed and wher ever it has been used the film result ing has been unsatisfactory. Ernest A. Dench, a London naturalist, 'who has made an extensive investigation of this phase of the movie industry, declares that the dumb actors are given every consideration. The thrills experienced by the spectator are the result, in a majority of instances, of the very innocent expedient of placing a piece of meat at a strategic point The animal leaps for it and the cinema tograph records every motion of the leap. The spectator, of course, sees nothing of the meat and concludes that cruelty alone could produce the picture thrown on the screen. "The animals," he concludes, "really have a much easier time than those that ap pear in trick acts on the stage." Woman Puts Him Wise. "You talk about disillusionmenta and breakfast jackets and curl papers," said the man, hanging over the railing of one of the bridges across the bridle path in Central park, "hut I defy any woman to look worse than most of her sex do on horseback. And it's all on account of that hideous I fashion of hairdressing. What woman "is attrac tive with her hair braided into a tight, wiry braid and turned under or up on top with a string of ribbon, the whole topped by a mannish derby?" His companion, a woman, laughed "Stu pid, don't you know they can't pos sibly keep their hair up in any other way? The jolting of the horse loosens the coils and one by one the hairpins are strewn along the path until the hfair is all tumbled down Would you rather see a bevy of March winds or Dianas let loose in the park?" "They'd be prettier and you'd tell a man from a woman without straining your eyes, at least," said he.—New York Times. Protecting Wild Beasts. Protected refuges where the deni zens of the wild may dwell and multi ply are rapidly increasing in number The Rockefeller Foundation has pur chased a tract of 85,000 acres in Louisi ana and placed it upder the direction of state authorities. The state already controls a refuge with an area of 13, 000 acres, and Mrs. Russell Sage bought and donated Marsh island for the same purpose. In Michigan, it is planned to set aside 200,000 acres as a refuge, while Ohio expects to dedi cate 24,000 acres to the service. Hli •nois is preparing to extend its pro tected area by new purchases^ and in other states of the middle West and the South Qimilar projects are on foot. To Prevent Saw Edges on Collars. It is well known that the modern mechanical laundry methods are very hard on linen, and collars or cuffs soon have a rough edge which irri tates the skin, even though the rough ness is scarcely visible to the eye. This can be avoided by running over the edge a small rod having a suitable groove ner-r one end, so as to flatten down the rough edge. A neat Paris device embodies this idea and also an other useful one, for the pointed end of the rod, serves as, a buttonhole spener. ih?
