Dialects to Be Studied
Characteristic of local dialects in
the United States and Canada with
the locality in which each is used.
Will be studied and charted, if a com
mittee making its headquarters at
Yale university completes its plans.
Prof. Eduard I’rokoseh of Yale uni
versity, a member of the committee
of the American council of learned
societies named to compile a lin
guistic atlas of these two centuries,
announced that work will start this
summer. Similar linguistic aliases,
he said, have already been published,
or are in process of preparation, in Eu
ropean countries.
“We believe,” he said, “that the
linguistic variations of 'American
English must be assembled now if
ever, since various factors, such as
Hie stage, radio, and talking films
tend toward the rapid elimination of
dialect differences.
“To collect the material, the direc
tors have prepared a questionnaire
through which the field workers arc
to collect characteristic facts of pro
nunciation, grammar and vocabulary,
In order to establish the dialect dif
ferences in this territory.”

THE BROOD SOW
Successful hog production depends
.0 a large extent upon the feed and
care the sows receive during the
winter months, says a professor in
charge of swine investigations at a
leading agricultural experiment sta
1 tlon. If a sow is given a deficient
ration during gestation, she is in
capable of properly nourishing her
youny, either before or after they
ire farrowed, and if the pigs are
weak and larking in vigor at birth,
hifh mortality results. Bosh the
number of pigs raised per sow and j
the thriftiness of the ones that are
raised are important items in de
termining the profitableness of hog
produltion. Corn is a satisfactory
grain lor brood sows. Oats may
ilso be fed to advantage, at the
rate of one to one and one half
pounds daily, or in the ratio of one
pounds to every two to three pounds
>f com. In addition to the grains,
ihe sows should be given a high
protein feed and some material, ;
rich as a leguminous hay, that is
rich in minerals and vitamins. 1
Tankage, skim-milk or one of these
combined with linseed oil meal or ;
»ttonseed meal, makes an effective j
protein supplement. With corn,
pats and hay, sufficient supplement j
to supply a quarter to a third of a
pound of protein daily per head
should be used. The amount of
corn or grain fed should be governed
by the condition of the sows. They
should be kept in good ©ondition,
but not allowed to become too fat.
From one to one and one fourth
pounds of grain daily for each 100
pounds of live weight is ordinarily
sufficient. Only leafy hay of good
quality is palatable to hogs. Both
hay and oats are beneficial in sup
plying bulk to the ration and have
a desirable laxative effect. Exercise
la regarded as essential lor the
production of thrifty pigs. It may
be induced by feeding and water
ing the sows at some distance from
their sleeping quarters, and by feed
ing whole hav in a rack or on the
trozen ground.

COMPARING RATIONS
A western experiment station has
furnished us with some interesting
data on the comparative feeding
value of corn, barley, wheat, oats,
and rve for swine at a time when
the price relationships of these
grains are out of line with what
they have been for a good many
years. Applying the results of a
feeding trial like this may help
us to reduce the costs of producing
pork. In conducting the feeding
trial five lots of pigs of 10 pigs .per
lot, averaging 107 pounds per pig
at the beginning of the trial, were
fed from August 15 to October 14,
a period of 60 days. The feeding
was done in dry lot, no pasture
being supplied. The pigs in Jot No.
1 received shelled corn as their only
grain feed; those in lot No. 2 re
ceived ground barley; those in lot
No. 3, ground Durham wheat;
those in lot No. 4, ground oats, and
those in lot No. 5, ground rye. The
pigs inall lots were fed a standard
protein supplemental mixture com
posed of 50 per cent tankage. 25
per cent linseed meal, 25 per cent
finely ground alfalfa meal. The
pigs in all lots were likewise fed a
complete mineral mixture composed
of 50 per cent ground limestone,
27.97 per cent bone meal, 20 per cent
common salt, 5 per cent iron oxide,
1-100 of l'per cent copper sulphate,
and 2-100 of 1 per cent of potassium
Iodide. In each case the grain, the
protein supplement, and the min
eral supplement were fed in sep
arate compartments of a self-feeder.
Water was supplied in an automatic
watering tank. The average daily
gains per pig were—beginning with
lot 1 1.31 pounds, lot 2, 1.11 pounds,
lot 3, 1.26 pounds, lot 4, .92 of 1
pound, and lot 5 .94 of 1 pound.
The total feed required to produce
100 pounds of gain was—for Jot 1, I
423 pounds, lot 2, 575 pounds, lot 3.
393 pounds, lot 4, 575 pounds, lot
5, 538 pounds. Bv comparing the
rate of gain of the pigs in these
several lots we find that those in
lot 1 fed corn together with the
protein and mineral supplements
outgained the pigs In anv other
lot. They were closely approached,
however, by the pigs receiving
ground wheat together with the
supplments. Ground bar’ey made
quite a fair showing with a gain
of 1.11 pounds per pig daily. When
we compare the quantity of feed re
quired to produce 100 pounds of
pork we find that the pigs in lot 3,
which were fed wheat as the basal ]
grain, required the least feed of any |
of the lots. The pigs in this lot i
required 393 pounds of feed, where
as those in the next best lot, which
had com, required 423 pounds for
100 pounds of gain. The prices use1

$40, and the mineral mixture, $4.00
per cwt, A grinding charge of 6
cents per cwt. also was made. With
these prices for the several feed;
mentioned, lot 3 getting wheat as a
basal grain made 100 pounds of igain i
at a feed cost of $5.23. The next
best lot in economy of gain was lot
5 fed rye as the basal grain in
which case the feed cost was $6.51
per hundred. The next in cheap
ness of gain were pigs receiving
barley, and the cost in this case
was $7.06; followed by the pigs in
lot 1, which had corn at 90 cents
a bushel together with the other
feeds, and in this case the teed cost
was $7.47 a hundred. Pigs in lot 4
getting oats as a basal grain made
the poorest showing in the economy
In tne use of feeds and the feed
cost in thus case was $7.68 per hun

previously to the carrying out oi
this feeding trial that satisfactory
dallv gains could not be had by
feeding oats or rye as the only basal

two cases could be somewhat im

The ever lurking hazard of fire
from the brooder stove is of consid
erable concern to the poultryman.
Often in removing the ashes a live
ciyj drops into the dry litter sur

sometimes a few burns are neces
sary in order to stop the little blaze
that many times lias destroyed
house, chicks and equipment. This
bit of worry may be more or less
overcome and at very slight ex
pense. A metal mat should be
placed under the stove and then
covered with a layer of sand. The
sand may be easily kept within its
proper boundaries and free from
grains. It also Is probably true that
better results would be had by
greater variety than from feeding
ground barley as the only basal
cereal grain fed. However, in all
of there lots the supplemental mix- ,
ture was of very good quality in
addition to which the mineral needs
of the pigs were adequately taken
care of, and while this is only one
feeding trial of somewhat shor: du

values of the several grains u:u.or

use of the data from this feeding
trial one could determine somewhat

FEEDING TI1E BULL
Attention to the ever present need ;
of selecting better sires has been a
most popular subject of late. The
not too uncommon error is being
made in securing this good sire and
then making hun suffer as tne most
neglected anunal on the farm.
The bull is ordinarily blessed with
great vigor and capacity to under
go abuse but this power becomes
sadly lowered at or near two years
of age and many a good sue is sold
to the butcher because he becomes
too slow in breeding or fails to set
tle the cows In calf. Continued
testing of our dairy herds and com
parisons of daughters and dams re
'peatedly are showing the need of
proving a bull by the actual testing
of his progeny. A bull does not have
a sufficient number of daughters
with yearly records completed until
he has arrived at the age of live or
six years. The progeny test of a
bull's transmitting ability makes
necessary such feeding and care as
will properly develop him and also
retain him in the best breeding
condition to a ripe old age. Size is
important in tne nera sire, rwumg
the bull calf anv less than the heif
er calf is a serious mistake and the
best results have been obtained
where the same principles are ap
plied to each. After six months of
age the young sire should be sep
arated from the hei'er calves and
fed a larger allowance of grain. His
growth impulse Is greater than that
of the heifer and the greatest eco
nomy in the use of feed is to supply
it when the largest results are pos
sible. There Is no object in getting
the young calf fat but less harm
will result from that than from un
derfeeding, as a little smoothness
readily works off when he is put
into service. Alfalfa hay is just as
important in feeding the bull calf
as in the feeding of dairy cows in
milk. The quality of the rouzhage
determines the cost of the calf ra
tion. A good mixture for the six
months’ old bull calf that has plen
ty of good quality alfalfa hay is
equal parts of barley or corn, oats
and bran. When the price of bran
gets too high, the home grown
grains alone will suffice. For a poor
er quality of “alfalfa hay or for
some carbonaceous roughage, we
wrould emphasize the need of from
50 to 100 pounds of linseed meal in
the above mixtures. While the calf
is being supplied skimmilk, four or
five pounds of grain a day will suf
fice. This should be increased at
weaning time. A fresh supply of
salt and water must always be on
hand so that they may be taken at
will. At about a year old, the well
developed bull is ready for light
service. Three services 20 days apart
for the first two months will prove
about the maximum if the bull is
to be kept in long service. At 18
months 10 services about 15 days
apart, and.at two years 20 services
eight days apart will cause no
harm. The bull in full service needs
just about the same amount of feed
as the cow in milk. This means
that a grain allowance of from 4
o 8 pounds a dav is necessary. On
lighter service, of course, the lower
limits of grain are satisfactory. A
great deal of judgment is necessary
in feeding the mature bull. At tins
stage, excess flesh may cause seri
ous trouble. Light rations or partial
starving of most bulls may get
them down in llesh but usually bet
ter results are obtained by' inducing
a. t,uai ucax kji caui-ioc anu u
vidine more or less liberal amounts
of alfalfa hay and home grown
grains. Silage is not as harmful to
mature bulls as we have often been
led to believe and amounts up to
10 or 15 pounds a day will in most
cases cause no harmful results. The
common practice of many dairy
men is to feed the herd sire the
same grain mixture as the cows
are being fed This will provide a
little more protein than is eco
nomicalv needed when good oualitv
alfalfa hay is given the bull. The
variety also is not needed. A recom
mended ration for the mature bull
would be three parts of barley or
corn, two parts of oats or bran, and
one part of linseed meal. This
should be given in amounts of from
four to eight pounds a day based
on the condition of the bull and
the amount of service. Management
and feeding go hand in hand in
taking nroper care of the herd
sire. Along with our educating peo
ple to use oroved sirps must go the
nroper methods of handling these
older sires. Except in extreme
weather the mature bull should be
forced out into a large exercise
yard. The location of this exercise
vard in the barivard proper makes
it readily accessible and also en
courages (he bull to spend much of
his time walking and oawing about
whil“ the herd is moving in or out
of the verd. Solitary confinement
often has been a contributing cause
to the development, of a tr-e^herous
and vicious disposition. Fo' the
herd sire we would reeommend
pronnr equinment. Quality feeds
and plenty of exercise.

Japan. The shrine is In the shadow
of a large cypress tree, which Is

sacrifice is supposed to have saved
the lives of the population in that

which made the mountain streams
into rushing torrents that swept nil

with water.
The population, terror-stricken, was
forced on to higher land, but accord
