IS eo?r Grape-Nuts WELL-BRED HOGS GIVE BETTER RESULTS THAN ANY OTHER BRANCH OF LIVE STOCK SPLENDID SPECIMEN (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture) No branch of live-stock farming fives better results than the raising of well-bred swlno when conducted with a reasonable nmount of Intelligence. Tho hog Is one of the most Important animals to raise on tho farm, either for meat or for profit, and 110 farm Is complete unless some hogs nro kept to aid In the modern method of farm ing. Tho farmers of tho South nnd West, awakening to the merits of the hog, are rapidly Increasing their out put of pork and their bank accounts. The hog requires less lnbor, less equip ment, less capital, and makes greater gains per hundred pounds of concen trates than any other farm animal, nnd reproduces himself faster and In greater numbers; nnd returns the money Invested more quickly than any other farm nnlinul except poultry. In the trucking and mlxcd-fnrinlng sections of the United States hogs nro used to consume various unmarketable substances. Tho vnluo of milk Is known on every farm, nlthough It may not be fully appreciated, and any one who has fed pigs knows the keen ap petite they have for milk and Its prod ucts. In the neighborhood of many lurge dairies pork production hns be come a very prominent nnd lucrative supplement to the dnlry Industry. Tho hog Is also a large factor In cheapen ing the production of beef. Hogs ure placed In tho cattle feed lots to utilize tbt onrn nnd other foods which the cattle have failed to digest and which otherwise would be wasted. Hogs fol lowing steers In many cases have In creased the profit per steer by from $0 to $0. Farmers and hotel and restaur ant owners are using kitchen refuse to produce salable pork. In fact, as a consumer of by-products the hog has no rival. However, this propensity In mnny Instances Is being taken unfair advan tage of through Ignorance and lack of care. Milk products, animal offal, etc., which contain dlsense germs, especial ly those of tuberculosis, are given to hogs. This practice not only results In' sprendlng disease but causes loss In the hogs themselves through condem nation at slaughter. Hog-Growing Sections. The first place In hog raising In the United States Is easily wltli tho corn growing sections, where corn Is tho first grain thought of when the fatten ing of hogs Is considered. It Is, how ever, fallacious to argue tlinj: hog rais ing will not give profitable returns out side of the corn belt. Tho corn .belt has great "advantages for economical pork production, but It also has Its dis advantages. The cheapness and nbun- dance of corn In this section have ' often led farmers to use It as tho ex clusive grain feed. Breeding stock so i feci docs not thrive well and Is not so ' proline as when given n varied ration, and when used for fattening, an ex clusive corn diet Is not generally prof itable. The work of the agricultural colleges and experiment stations dur ing recent years has done much to Bhnw breeders nnd feeders the undoslr ablllty of this practice, and tho In creasing price of corn has forced farm ers to economize In Its use as much as possible. The few states comprising tho corn belt are the source of supply for a grent amount of swine products, espiv plnliv hums nnd bacon, that are con- j sinned In other portions of the coun I try. 1'et the advantages of these corn belt states are little, If at all, superior , to those of many others outside of that j district. The South has an abundance ot vegetation. Cowpeas, soy beans, i velvet beans and peanuts are leguinl ' nous crops peculiar to that section which have great value In pig raising. Corn grows readily In all parts of tl.e South, and In the subtropical soctjons the experience of feeders with cassava .seems to Indicate that It has conslder- able value for pork production. In addition there Is generally an abun dant? water supply; the climate 's mild .and there Is a long period dtirlnR which 'green feed Is available; thus the ex ' pense of shelter and winter feeding Is greatly lessened. These conditions, giving a long period of pasturo and outdoor life, enhance thrift and with proper management Insure great free' dom from dlseuse. Tim Kust Is peculiarly adapted to hog raising In view of tho fact that markets for fresh pork and cured products may be found In local com munities as well as In the larger cities and the various roast resorts. As re gards feeds, corn Is being grown suc cessfully In the EuM, and In some sec tions the average yield per aero Is greater thnn thnt of the middle West. Clover, bluo grass, und many other for nce crops especially adapted for swine production grow rapidly In nearly a very sect loo of the Kust. In the truck OF BROOD SOW. ing sections there Is wasted annually n vnst quantity of unmarketable prod ucts that might be used with profit In feeding hogs. The dairy districts offer an advantage to the hog raiser by furnishing such by-prodUcls as skim mlllt nnd buttermilk, which nro espei clnlly relished and profitably utilized by growing pigs. In tho extreme West the alfalfa of the Irrigated valleys and the clover of tho coast districts ofTer u splendid foundation for successful pork produc tion. In most of these regions there Is an abundance of small grain, partic ularly barley, that mny often be fed economically, while In some localities corn Is a successful crop. Location of Farm for Hogs. Tho selection of n region Is not ot paramount Importance In hog raising In tho United States, for swlno nro suc cessfully and profitably grown. in prac tically all localities and on almost any type of soil ; still, If thu breeder Is freo to choose a location the following points should be considered: An Ideal location is on n well drnlncd fnrm possessing a rich soil thnt will produce grasses and other forage as well as the grains needed for fattening hogs. This does not mean, however, that only those farmers hold ing rich, level lnnds bhould raise hogs, for as a .matter of fact hogs are most easily handled on farms thnt nro somewhat rolling. For the production of forngo crops tho rolling farm Is 'ofteif as good as tho level one, and it; often has thc added advantage of shade and a better water supply. Thu hill farmer does not hnve the best sltu atlon In all things, but In many In stances ho litis certain advantages which he does not appreciate. It Is an udvantngo to locato In a hog-ralslng community. There nro mnny small problems In management; which cannot bo touched upon In a general discussion of hog raising, but they mny be lenrned through actual experience In one's own community. In such enses the older breeders huvq for a long time been in contact wjth local conditions, nnd n now man liiny prollt by their experiences without spending several years acquiring ono of his own. Then, too, If u wholo community will raise n certain grade or breed of hog, It can obtain a repu tation for Its product as n community such as an Individual never could hope to win. The question of n market must al ways be considered, especially the fa cilities for reaching It and tho typo of hog It demands. Most communities have boon successfully connected with the large central markets by the rati--roads, but theso will be of little avail If the roads to the stations aro poor. Good roads are of inestimable Impor tance, for, among other things, they ennble the fanner to market his prod ucts at any and all times, thus taking advantage of any fnvorablo fluctuation In tho market prices. Number of Hogs for a Farm. This question must bo determined by a study of local conditions nnd tho typo of farming. The maximum num ber of hogs per acre Is found on fnrms chiefly or wholly devoted to the rais ing of thnt class of stock; as, for ex ample, In tliu stnto of Iowa, where It Is quite common to see farms averag ing n number of hogs to the acre, al though the nverage for the entire otato Is one hog to every threo acres of Im proved farm lund. Under ordinary conditions hogs return tho largest prollt when raised to utilize wnsto products, and when kept for this pur pose alone the number will depend upon tho quantity of waste products to bo consumed. Skim milk from dairy herds; shattered grain from grain fields; Unmarketable products from the truck farm ; undigested grain In the droppings of fattening steers; and many other minor wastes on tho arage farm nro examples of food stuffs which would be wasted were It not for their utilization by the thrifty farmer for the production of park. In order to utilize some of these prod ucts, It Is necessary to have a number of pigs on hand for a relatively short time on account of tho peilshablo na ture of theso feeds. The rest of tho year tho fattening pigs and tho breed ing stock must bo maintained upon feed raised expressly for their con sumption, und willo they aro not kept at a loss during this time, still the greatest prollt Is derived when they are eating their cheap feed In the form of waste products, and the num ber of hogs which can utilize the waste to the best advantage should be the limiting factor In determining the number of hogs to the farm. On farms In tho corn belt where hogs are raised simply to market tho corn crop on the hoof, tho number Is controlled by the amount of corn which can prof itably be raised to fatten them, STILL TUBE 10 FOR GIFTS War Department Will Transport, Christmas Packages for Boys in France. LAST SAILING DATE DEC. 5 Official Statement Issued by Post Office Department to Eliminate . Confusion Regarding Reg- ' ulatlons. By EDWARD B. CLARK. ' Washington. From all over thf Cnlted States queries come to Wash tugton concerning the exnet rules go ernlng the sending of parcels to tin members of the expeditionary forces In France. Confusion seems to prevnll everywhere. It Is duo to a number of causes, the principal ono of which seems to lie that tho Instructions wen I sent out piecemeal and that some of the llrst rules were amended. 1 Here Is tho ofllelal statement on the subject which I have Just secured , from the post olilce department ; I Western Nowspnpor Union. Oontlcmcn in answer to your Inquiry I with reference to parcel post pnekases ror mo American Expeditionary Forcer, I heff to mlvlsp yon an followsr l'arcol post for Boltllors nnil civilian connected with tho Atnerlenn Kpedltlon nry Torcea In France, when carefully packed nnd properly addressed, will bn accepted by all postmaHters for direct transmission through tho malls. Such parcels may welffh up to seven pounds Parcels for the soldiers nnd clvlllm--connected with tjio American Expedi tionary Forces may contain anything that Is ndmlsslbln to the domestic par col post except perishables which may spoil on tho lonn Journoy to Europe. l'arcol post for tho American Expe ditionary Forces need not bo packed In wooden boxes, but should bo carefully pneked In the- strongest klpd of paste board box t.o assure It safe arrival at tho front. In addition to this parcel post service to the troops, the war department will undcrtako to carry Christmas parcels for the American Expeditionary Forces provided rucIi parcels are sent "caro tho Commanding General, Port of Em barkation, Pier 1, Hoboken, Now Jor sey," and nro packed In wooden boxes not more than two cubic feet In volume, well strapped, and with a hinged or screw top. Much Christmas boxes may bo sent to tho Commanding Oiucer, Port of Embarkation, cither by express or through the malls, nnd must not oxcoed 20iounds In weight. The army will In spect tho contents of each box and un dertake Its dollvery from Hoboken to tho addressee. Tho war department will (recelve Christmas puckages up to De ccmbor tith. Yours very truly . OTTO PRAEOErt. Second Assistant Postmaster General. Parcel Post Limit Seven Pounds. It will be noted that parcels weigh. !ng seven pounds but no more enn be lent through the post olilce department ill the way to France. The twenty-pound pnrcels which are ntended for Christmas gifts nnd which ire to be delivered on Christmas day ire sent by the war department from ts port of embarkntlon at Hoboken, N. ,T. These parcels, which must not fxceed twenty pounds In weight, enn De sent to the address given In Hobo ten In any wny that tho sender :hooses. Of course the rost ofllco department "ms been handling tho smnller Christ aias packages all the way through to France, but In order to Insure their de livery on Christmas morning It wns necessary to mail them by November Ifi. However, the fact that the mailing tvns too late for delivery on Christ aias day does not mean that packages cannot still bo sent by parcel post They can be sent nny day In the year it this rate of 12 cents for each pound 6ont, anil this rate holds from what ever point In the United States the package is sent. How Packages Must Be Addressed. Packages for, the soldiers must be addressed to the lndidual, with his company nnd bis regiment and then must be added the words"""Amorlcnn Expeditionary Forces." It Is not nec essary to add the name of thu country. It will be noted that In tho Instruc tions given above and prepared In tho second assistant postmaster general's nfllce nothing Is said peclflcally con cerning tho kind of things which may be sent to the soldiers and Chilians connected with tho expeditionary forces. It Is perfectly proper to send RUgar, provided It Is properly wrapped. The reason sugnr ts spoken of hero Is because there seems to have been Bomo misunderstanding about It. Mutches must not bo sent In any cir cumstances. Neither must anything Inllamnmble,' except, of course, ordi nary packing material, bo Included, nor must there bo nny chemical or fresh fruit In the packages. Candy can go If properly protected from mashing up nnd ruining other things in the mail. .Tars of fruit properly bcnlcd and protected Gugulnst break age can be 'sent. Nothing of nn ex plosive nature must be put Into tho parcels, It Is necessary that the parcel post packages weighing up to seven pounds shall be wrapped so that the post ofllco authorities may examine their contents. Tho rules for the packages which the war department sends are given explicitly In the above olllclaf communication. It is desired to accentuato tho fact that parcels up to seven pounds In weight can be sent by ordlnnrj- parcel post at any time of the your, but that Christmas boxtv which are to go by the way of thewiu department at the address given above will not be forwarded If they arc re. celved nt Hcboken later than Decern- I ber 0. JIM MN " il HELPS TREE PLANTING NEEDS CARE Appearance of Grounds as Important as House Plans, Interior Decor- atlons or Furniture. While house plans, Interior decora tions and furniture play n prominent part In the life of tho new home build er, care of the grounds about tho house should likewise bo given consideration, particularly as regards tho planting of trees to trim up the general appear nnco of the house. In tree planting great care, foresight and Judgment are required, suys it landscnpo artist. Tho selection of oting trees, their proper setting apart and their euro after planting make beautiful grounds possible. In shade tree planting as In tho construction of a building, the plan for the completed work should bo determined In advance, for tho trco planter must picture to himself how his work will look u great number of years litter and with him It rests whether thu result is to be ono of satisfaction or regret. In making selections one must bear In mind that tho trco must possess cer tain characteristics to be desirable. In tho llrst place Itmust bo hardy, capa ble of withstanding unfavorable condi tions of city life such as poor soil, drought, smoke, gas, heat and dust, eas ily transplanted and propagated. It must have u straight stem, a rounded well tilled head, well developed roots and be symmetrical In growth. They must to a great degree bo Immune from hisect pests, retain their foliage In good condition through the summer un til Into fall nnd bo clean in their hab its of growth. Tho Ideal shade tree must also be of medium growth and long lived. The desirability of devel oping good-sized sliado trees as soon as possible after planting is admitted, nnd It Is unfortunate that tho trees grow ing most rapidly are the most undesir able. NEVER TOO SOON TO BEGIN Start Is All That Is Necessary In Plan ning House That One Some Day Is Going to Build. There nro two kinds of people who nro Interested In tliOj question of build ing houses: Those who have built one house und Uvo In It, and those who uro living In some one's .else house. A pretty comprehensive statement, but really, who Isn't Interested In tho mat ter of building n homo? Jones has a house of his own, and he Is concerned with tho thing he pos sesses, says an exchange. Smith, wlio owns no house, is concerned with some thing he Incks. Jones Is homesick only when ho Is away from home. Smith can never bo homesick in nny place oth er than his home. Jones Is nn owner, a master, a llogc lord of. lands and all thnt is therein. Smith Is a tenant, a payer of rent, a slave of tribute. Jones dwells on the right sldo of the door. Smith Is eternally wishing that ho did. , It Is never too soon to begin planning that houso which somo day you aro go ing to want to build. It Is never too soon, but sometimes too late, to save the money for a start townrd It. Tho start Is all that Is necessary. The Knocker's Prayer. In the case of ttlnodworth vs Times Publishing Company, 1K Southwest ern "Itcporter, fi27, Justice Wood of the Arknnsas supreme court said, In substance, thnt where defendants In ono part of Its paper referred to plain tiff ns a "knocker," nnd It wns alleged that he was tho person specifically' meant, It furnished the necessnry col loquium to show that the following prayer published In the same paper applied to the plaintiff: "Tho Knocker's Prayer: Lord, plenso don't let this town grow. I've been here for ninny yenrs, and during that time I have fought every public Im provement. I've knocked on every thing and everybody. No firm or In dividual has established' a business hero without my doing all I could to put them out of business. 1'vo Hod about them, and would luivo stolen from them, If 1 had the courage. I am against building a new church, oven though I gavo nothing. I am against the electric light franchise being granted to George Tlooscr, George Washington, or Jim Tom. It pains me, oh Lord, to see thnt In spite of my knocking .tho town Is growing. Then, too, more people might come here, which would cause me to loso some of my pull. I ask, therefore, to keep this town nt a standstill, Hint I may be one of tho chiefs. Amenl" The Docket. Flshlnn on Sunday. Sunday fishing, which has long been looked upon as sacrilegious In the Isle of Man, threatens to loso somu of Its terrors for tho "unco guld," notes an exchange. Until recently the North of L'nglnnd and Scotch llshcrmen engnged In tho Manx herring trade hnvo kepi Sunday so rigorously that they have remained In port from Saturday morn ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen from tho South, resenting tho loss ol two night's Ashing, have tried to break through the tradition and n Fleetwood boat put out to sea ono Sunday eve nlug recently, returning tho next dnj with a good catch. Tho buyers at first looked nsknnco at the herring as "Sunday-caught," but finally thoy were noli at n fair price. I. I I A A
