DO NOT NEGLECT HERD BOAR
Management Is Important Part In
Raising Strong, Healthy Pigs—'
-’—Deserves Best Care.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The management of the boar is a
very Important part in the raising of .
strong. healthy pigs. and one which is :
sometimes neglected. He should bet
the most valuable animal in the whole
herd. and as such deserves the best on}
attention. The boar should be pur-;
chased from a breeder of pure-bred‘
hogs when between eight months and ;
one year of age. Many breeders. how- ‘
ever; purchase a boar when a wean- ;
ling pig, but to be successful in this ‘
choice requires a wide experience and
sound judgment. Aged boars which
have proved their worth can some?
times be ‘purchased at a reasonable‘
price. It is much safer for anvinexg
perienced breeder to buy an old, ac- i
tive boar than a young untried boar. ‘
If possible, the farmer should visit:
the herd where the boar vas raised
and note the conditions under which ‘
he was bred. At any rate. it is always
possible to obtain. from the breeder
notes on the health and kind and‘
amount of feeds used, so as to serve‘
as an index to his subsequent treat- ;
ment. ' 1
Upon arriving at the farm the boar ;
should be unloaded as soon as pos
sible and placed in quarantine to
guard against the introduction of_dis- ;
ease into the herd. If he is lousy it is
well to treat this condition at once. ‘
His feed should be a continuation of 1
that to which he has been accustomed. ‘
feeding rather lightly the first few;
days until he recovers from the strain 1
of shipping and becomes accustomed ‘
to his new surroundings. If it is not
feasible to continue feeding as pre- 1
'viously indicated, -the change to a;
more convenient ration should be ‘
made very gradually in order not to
disturb the appetite or health of the
Champion Dunc-Jersey Boar.
animal. As a rule, a pig 8 to 12
months old will be in proper breed
ing condition when received unless he
has been very heavily overfed. In
purchasing an older boar. particularly
one which has been in the show cir
cuit, it is often necessary to reduce
his condition before attempting to
breed. With some animals the breed
ing power is permanently impaired
by too high condition at some time in
their life. The boar should be well
fed but not fat, as a .too high condi
’tion makes him inactive, a slow breed
er, and a rather uncertain sire.
After the breeding season the boar
should not be fed so heavily. and
should have a wider ration, that iB.
one containing less of the protein
concentrates and relatively more corn.
The ration at this time is practically
the same as that fed the brood sow
when she is not producing a litter of
pigs. He should have the run of a
pasture a quarter of an acre in area
in connection with his paddock. Here
he can exercise and obtain much of
his feed from the .forage. or in the
winter when the ,forage is consumed
he may be fed on alfalfa or clover hay
in connection with the grain ration.
Keep the boar healthy. give him ex
ercise. plenty of rough feeds. and
keep him in condition by varying his
supply of grain. Under such condi
tions "little trouble will be experi
enced in getting a normal boar to pro
duce large litters of strong, healthy
pigs. '
PIG CLUB MEMBERS PROSPER
Some Have Been at Work Long
Enough to Have Parker: for
Sale and Make Money.
(Prepérea by _tho_ pmpqpmm Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Pig club members in Florida are
working'up an industry among them
selves. Some of the members who
have been in club work long enough
to have some pigs for sale are dispos
ing of their stock to other club mem
bers. One club boy has sold SIOO
worth of pigs to club members this
year. Another, who joined the pig
club two years ago, is now furnishing
pigs to other members, and says he
is glad he went into the club work.
and believes that every boy and girl
who can do so should join. . '

The sow having weaned her pigs,
should be kept on pasture and fed a.

TAI SHAN A SACRED PLACE
Chinese Mountain Sail! to Be the
Oldest Permanent Place of
Worship on Earth. _
‘ There are five sacred mountains in
‘ China. and the most sacred of all is
Tai Shan. the Great mountain. said to
be the oldest permanent place of wor
‘ ship in the world. in 2000 B. 0. Tai
3 Shan's crest had been a regular scene
1 of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
j knew how long. Emperors and lesser
i officials. even Confucius the Wise.
1 Jonrneyed up the long. narrow’ trail of
‘ Tai Shan to come near to the God of
‘ Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
i Since those days of simple worship.
many temples and shrines have been
‘ built on Tai Shan’s slopes. Buddhism.
1 Taoism. Confucianism. all are repre
-1 seated. and there are temples. too. to
3 the Lady of the Mountain. who is
‘called by some a fairy. by others a
i goddess. and by ' others the spirit
‘or soul of the mountain. Whatever
‘ her character. .the lady is well repre
‘ sented on her mountain top and her
shrines are popular.
‘ The journey up the mountainside is
accomplished by the traveler partly in
a swinging chair supported by Chinese
: bearers and partly on foot. The f‘Way"
‘ consists of a granite walk. interrupted
{every little while by flights of steps
‘ which stretch on and on and become
a steeper and closer together until the
: pilgrim has mounted 6.600 steps and
. the peak of Tai Shan is reached.
‘ Here there are more temples and
‘thick incense and grave old priests
; who announce a pilgrim's presence to
the gods by ringing deep-toned bells.
A little way off is pointedlout a rock
overhanging a sheer precipice. From
} this rock. called “The Rock of the Love
i of Life.” persons who had sick rela
‘ tives used to fling themselves. hoping
\that the sacrifice of one life would
appease the gods so that the other
‘ would be spared. Now the dangerous
1 cliff is barred, and pilgrims are forced
1 to appeal to the gods in the conven
{ tional Chinese methods.

\WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Luighwayr-of Solid Granite in the Rocky
> Mountains a Rival of the
‘ Applan Way.
‘ Taking example from the famous
Appian way. which has the name of
being the first great road undertaken
by the Romans as a public work. the
state of Colorado. with the help of an
appropriation by the United States
government. is building a highway of
solid granite in the Rocky mountains.
No other highway in the world, it is
predicted. will provide travelers with
so magnificent a scenic setting. close
to a sheer fall of 3.000 feet on the
other side of 'the great concrete posts
and cables that will safeguard vehicu
lar trafiic. One gets an Idea of the
road from the practical statement that
it is costing $25,000 a mile to build.
Like the Appian way. on which long
stretches of pavement first traveled
over 300-odd years before the Chris
tlan era. still remain practically per
fect. the chairman of the Colorado
highway commission believes that Colo
rado is creating a work which will defy
the centuries and stand. on comple
tion. as the most wonderful road in
the modern world.

Brother to the'Mosquito.
The prolonged drought has produced
a prolific host of insects. and certain
species of guats are developing a dis
concerting interest in ankles. says Lon
don Daily Mail. Some women are
wearing linen bandages as a protec

An official at the Natural History
museum. South Kenslngton, states that
the chief offender is a tiny insect hear
ing the long name of Ochlerotatus dor
salis. which breeds in estuaries and
explores inland. It la to be found all
around London. especially on the Sur

Spanish ißirth Rate.
Now it is in Spain that they are
beginning to worry about the rising
death rate and the failing birth rate.
Dr. Gomez Ocana presents in El Sigio
Medico (Barcelona) statistics for-Jew
eral years, showing that in 1912 the
death rate was 21.6 per 1,000 popula
tion. and that by 1917. before the ad
vent of the pandemic of influenza. it
had risen to 26.16. And the birth rate
fell ~'from 31.60 per thousand in 1912
to 29.2 in 1917.
Official figures for 1918 are not yet
available. but In the city of Madrid
the death rate rose In that year to
80.37. while the birth rate fell to 28.70.
The figures tor'l9lß. however. are ab
normal because of the pandemic.
