Tho self-lighting cigar will bo equip

While on her way to northern Min

experiments by inserting a paper

were difficulties which patient tests
finally overcame.

Prompt Attention to Piga at Birth "Will Prevent Heivy Losses from Weather and
Give the Young Porkmakers a Good Start.
Housing and Good Care Reduce Pig Mortality.
High Death Rate at Farrowing Time Demands Serious Attentl en
This Year Get Plans of Practical Hog Houses from State
or Federal Sources Feeding Sows Equally Important.
Save the war litters?
Every owner of a brood sow,
whether he lives on a large farm and
lias many, or whether he Is a subur
banite and owns one. should feel a
loronal responsibility to see 'Mint
the pli? litters born this spring are re
ceived with the utmost care. That
means the matter of providing proper
housing for the brood .sows, and their
young .should have immediate atten
tion. SaVIng every pig possible in
order that one of the uiot urgent war
needs of the Xntion more pork can
be .supplied, should be the ,alm of
every man who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pig In some parts of tho coun
try can be materially reduced If
nroper housing nml food are provided
for the sows. Investigations of the
mortality among pigs on the reolama
Uon projects show that approximately
lu'-thlrd of the pigs born die before
eaehlng the weighing age. Losses on
sovernl northern projects last season
were even above this average because
f a severe season. According to one
investigation which covered about 00
herds, representing 0,'JO brood sows,
the nremge loss wns about 33 per
font, while some farmers lost 50 to
70 per cent of the pigs.
That the average death rate of
young pigs, not only on the projects,
but elsewhere. Is unnecessarily large,
and that losses are lu a large measure
preventable, is the belief of the offi
cials of the Department of Agricul
ture. To remedy this situation in
time to prevent heavy losses In tho
next pig1, crop, tho department
urges immeiliato preparation along
two" lines providing satisfactory
houses for the brood animals at far
rowing time and better management
nud feeding of the sows both before
ail,(l after tho pigs tiro" born.
It hns been found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms where
the housing facilities are poor. In one
investigation it was learned that
where good or fairly good hog houses
were used, the average number of pigs
raised lu a litter was five and one
fourth, while on farms where the
housing was poor the' average number
reared from each Utter was only
three -and one-tenths. The average
snvlng. therefore, where good houses
were used, nmounted fo more than
two pigs tff'the litter.
There nie many kinds of suHsfiio
tpry hog houses wlilvh can bo built at
comparatively low cost. Any one of
these will soon pay for Itself In the in
creased number of pigs saved. Both
thq Individual house and the colony
hog house have a place 'on the hog
farm. Both give very satisfactory
results If they are properly construct
ed. If only one enn be had the colony
house usually Is to be preferred, es
pecially where a large number of sows
are to be kept. The farrowing period
usually extends over several weeks if
there are many sows. In sueli cases
each pen in the liouo may be used for
two or more sows during the perlojl
Assuming that two sows use a pen
and that by reason of the satisfactory
quarters provided t,o additional pigs
are saved In each litter, it would not
ie long until the hog house paid for
self. Good quarters nrcone of the
best Investments the swine grower
can make. ""
Tho satisfactory hog house pro
vides warmth, dryness, abundance of
lghr, ventilation, sanitation, and
omfort. To meet these requirements
the houge need not be expensive. As
i matter of fact, mnny expensive hog
houses nre not satisfactory, because
they do not possess all these require
ments, while mnny less expensive
mes properly planned and built give
excellent satisfaction. Information
as to details and suggested plans of
'mlldlng may be obtained from field
representatives of the Department of
Agriculture or from the state agricul
tural college.
The care given the brood sow, es
pecially In her feeding, Is equally Im
portant. Help on this point can be
obtained from bulletins which state
agricultural colleges or the U. S. De
partment ot Agriculture will furnish.

The Work of Carrying On.
What is woman's work, then, in de
tail, If it is not making surgical dress
ings and knitted garments solely and
minding the house more carefully
than ever before? a3lcs Mory O'Connor
Newell, writing In the Chicago Her
ald. It Is keeping up the" food producr
Hon fight. It is keeping up the food,
clothing and fuel conservation fight.
It is keeping up Industry and ke"eplng
up business. It is making munitions
as never before. It is makings-war
contract clothing as never before. It is
financing the war.
In all these things woman's aid has
been asked by a government that nev
er summoned its woman's power for
mally before. No government ever
has. It Is woman's great opportunity.
War work for women Is keeping up
social structures of every sort. It Is
also sharing in the problems of recon
struction that must be considered dur
ing the war, to make them effective
after the. war.' It is getting into coun
cil with each other and with men to
plan for tlje re-education of the maim
ed and the redistribution of labor af
ter tho war.
Hundreds of movements set on foot
for war salvage will have to fail If
women do not come to tho froqt as
they are invited and urged to do by
the woman's committees In the vari
ous states.
Our schools, our press, our pulpit.
our Jails, our poorhousea, orphanagesT
settlements, baby welfare stations
they must be manned by women as
never before. You may smile when
pulpits are mentioned, but women al
ready are preaching missions for the
Church of England in the British Isles
and the question of ordaining tlK n Is
being seriously agitated among
Church of England folk.
How shall women know what to do
or how to do it effectively If they sit
at home it they refuse to come out
and mingle with other women on war
work Intent? Concerted action will
carry the day.
