SELF FEEDING SYSTEM BEST IN HANDLING
SOM'S AND PIGS, U. S. EXPERIMENTS SHOW
Animals Kept in Better
Condition Than Under
Old Methods
By NEA Service
Washington—After a four-year
test of two popular methods of
handling sows and their litters dur
ing the sucking period, swine ex
perts of the United States depart
ment cf agriculture have concluded
that the self-feeding method is not
only better than the hand-feeding
method, but easier.
As a result most sows and litters
at the government experiment
iarm at Beltsville, Md„ where the
tests were conducted, now are
raised by the self-feeder method.
The system is particularly advan
tageous at weaning time. It per
mits weaning the pigs without any
extra labor and keeps them grow
ing, prevents injury to the sows
from caked udders, and puts the
sows in excellent condition for the
next litter.
The investigators put an equal
number of sows and pigs in each of
two lots. One lot was hand-fed
corn, shorts and tankage twice a
day, in amounts that would be
cleaned up nicely. The pigs were
given the same feeds in a creep.
The other lot was provided with a
self-feeder containing corn, shorts
and tankage, and both the sows
and pigs ate from it at will.
Self-Feeders Best
The results of the four years’
tests indicated that:
Self-feeding sows and pigs during
the suckling period saves both labor
and feed; the sow in the self-fed lot
wore in much better condition at
weaning time and the pigs were
heavier and more thrifty than those
Self-feeder for swine perfected by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
hand fed; a total of 441 pounds of
feed was required for 100 pounds of
gain in the self-fed lots, while the
hand-fed lots required 603 pounds
of feed for 100 pounds gain.
Another advantage of the self
feeding method is that no over
crowding at the feeder occurs, even
where there are a large number
of sows and pigs in the same lot.
There also is less danger of over
eating when feed is available at
all times.
The self-feeding method provides
an easy and efficient means of
weaning the pigs. It is a simple
matter to place a board fence
around the self-feeder which will
exclude the sows but permit the
pigs to reach the feed by means of
proper size opening in the fence.
The sows are then fed a limited ra
tion by hand, unless they are on
pasture, as is the case in spring.
Sows on pasture get no other feed.
Aids in Weaning
Limited feeding causes the flow
of milk to gradually cease, and the
nursing pigs prevent an accumula
tion of milk which would result in
caked udders. As the saws dry up,
the pigs are eating more and more
from the self-feeders and in three »
or four days forget their mothers
entirely. The sows are then put on
pasture or in another lot.
Handling sows and pigs cn self
feeders also has a decided ad
vantage in putting the sows in bet
ter condition for breeding than
when hand fed, according to the re
sults of these tests. Altogether 42
sows in the self-fed lots were bred
before the pigs were weaned. Of
this number, 81 per cent settled at
the first service. Seventeen sows
in the hand-fed Jots were bred dur
ing the suckling period, but only
47 per cent settled at the first serv
ice.
THE OLD ROAD
It oozed through vales betwixt the
hills.
• And crossed a covered bridge;
It climbed a rocky knoll beyond,
To pause on pine topped ridge.
It ambled through the orchards'
pink.
And dozed ’neath grape vines
£>ll *
Awoke and stretched its dusty
Then off through woodl'.nd
strayeu.
Of earth 'twas fashioned, mellow
brown.
Arid dozed ’neath grape vines
shade;
Awoke and stretched its dusty
length
Then off through woodland
strayed.
Of earth ’twas fashioned, mellow
brown,
With flowers richly laced;
All looped with vines and frilled
with shrubs,
With grass and moss ’twas faced.
And play ground for the wild it
lay—
Above, the wood doves cooed;
The red birds llickered ’long Its
\v2i y
And quail displayed their brood.
W' ..-re shall we find such road to
day?
If found, would people heed?
Thev would, but only to revile—
Twould Interfere with speed.

From J. Frederick Essary, in Amer

It Is difficult to conceive of a

she bought it that it was to come

and a bottle of ink, for a tube of

For the subscription to the news

For the rental of the postoffice

arrogance might be forgiven if it
were competent, but its utter inca

Losses from Ad Rates.
From Publishers’ Service.
Edwin J. Kiest, publisher of the
Dallas, Tex., Times Herald, is re
sponsible for one of the best .state
ments on parctical newspapering
this writer has heard in some time.
“If I am going to lose money," he
said, "I will lose it only trying to
make it.”
The occasion for the statement
was the reported GO per cent reduc
tion in Sunday advertising rates by
the opposition paper. Mr. Kiest did
not see fit to lower his rates to meet
this competition. His rates are 20
per cent higher, and, he believes
justifiably.
Other publishers will agree with
Mr. Kiest. Mounting operating costs
brook no rate slashing these days.
A paper is useful to its readers and
its community only so long as it is
profitable. The paper In the red
always falls into unscrupulous
hands.
For value received newspaper rates
are too low today. The general trend
should be the Kiest-way-20 per cent
up; and not 60 per cent down.

Courtesy to Women Lawyers
More courtesy is shown women
lawyers in European courts than
they receive in (lie United Stutes,
says Miss Grace H. Brown, Detroit
lawyer, who pleaded a case for an
exiled Armenian involving $ri()0,(XK>
before the reparations commission.
She also handled a case in the Lon
don court. Women lawyers in Eu
rope, Miss Brown linds, are not sub
jected to the petty nnnoyunees
which they occasionally undergo in
courts of the United States. They
enter upon their practice before the
bn. in Europe, she says, on an equal
footing with their male colleagues.
Great Violin Maker
Vincenzo Trusiauo Panormo of
Paris and London was horn in Mon
reale Dei Palermo, 1734, and died
in London, 3813. Like Lupot and
Aldric, Panormo was one of the
cleverest imitators of Strndi varius
violins. Of a wandering disposition,
lie often changed his residence and
worked in London, Paris, ami also
in Ireland. Some of his instruments
have a marvelous finish and his red
varnish is of exceptional quality.
His Instruments are scarce and
sometimes branded.
Bearded Indians
Most Indians would have a slight
to moderate growth of beard and
I mustache if they allowed the hair to

; known among them. Some of tlie
Mexican Indians have full beards.
The Guarnyas of Bolivia wear long
straight beards and Cashibas of the
! upper Ucayli are bearded.

Dawes, according to the American
Magazine, "lias to stand up and take

Children will fret, often for no
apparent reason. But there’s al
ways one sure way to comfort a
restless, fretful child. Castoria!
Harmless as the recipe on the
wrapper; mild and bland as it
tastes. But its gentle action
soothes a youngster more surely
than some powerful medicine
that is meant for the stronger
systems of adults.
That's the beauty of this special
children’s remedy! It may be
given the tiniest infant—as often
as there is any need. In cases of
colic, diarrhea, or similar disturb
ance, it is invaluable. But it has
everyday uses all mothers should
understand. A coated tongue calls,
for a few drops to ward off consti-,
nation; so does any suggestion qf
bad breath. Whenever children
don’t eat well, don’t rest well, or
have any little upset—this pure
vegetable preparation is usually
all that’s needed to set everything
to rights. Genuine Castoria has
Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature on
the wrapper. Doctors prescribe it.
