Good Dividends for
Feeding Sows Right,
County Agent Finds
Last March, I visited a farmer and
found him out In his hog shed try
ing to improvise some means by
which he could save a litter of seven
“squeakers.” I call them “squeakers"
because they were tiny, weak, squeal
ing pigs and seemingly could not be
warmed up nor their hunger satis
fied.
I looked into the adjoining pen and
saw a nice litter of nine large, rugged
pigs plied up by the side of their
mother, peaceably snoozing. The own
er noticed me watching them and re
marked:
“That litter you are looking at came
last night also. They prove to me
that it pays to feed the brood sow
the right feed. That sow had been fed
on alfalfa hay. oats, some tankage
and very little corn. She had plenty
of water and exercised freely in a
corn field that had been hogged off.”
I asked him how the sow with the
weak pigs had been fed. “Well,” he
said, “I bought this sow at a sale
last month from a fellow who feeds
a lot of corn and other grain and
does not believe much in alfalfa or
tanknge. He always overfeeds his
brood sows. I bought her cheap and
I am glad I did for 1 doubt if these
'watch fobs' live through another
night.”
This man s experience is probably
not a new one to most hog men. The
feeder of the brood sows has, to a
great degree, the solution of the prob
lem, “Strong or weak pigs at farrow
ing time,” at his command. If he
feeds a ration which will produce
growth, ruggedness and not too much
fat in the sows, strong pigs will be
the result. If he feeds a heavy fat
tening ration of mostly corn In the
absence of sufficient exercise, "squeak
ers” are bound to be farrowed. The
sow declares dividends at farrowing
time, dive her a chance.
Corn Shortage
Hits Hog Men
Feed Sells at West Point Six
Cents Higher Than Omaha—
Heavy Stock Shipments.
West Point, Neb., Feb. 3.—Corn at
sales around here is being sold at
prices ranging from 5 to 6 cents high
er than the Omaha market. Feeders
are ready buyers of the corn and
their frequent and large purchases
keep the price buoyed up consider
ably higher than the regular market
price of corn.
The high price of corn contem
poraneous with the low market value
of hogs is driving the small hog
raiser out of business. The small hog
raiser, in this case, is the man who
keep a few hoga on the outskirts of
town, for the sake of the pecuniary
benefits that he may derive from
their sale. This is merely s side
line with him—usually he is either a
business man of the city or a re
tired farmer; but it Is a side line
that he will continue only as long as
a fair profit can be maintained. In
the aggregate these small hog raisers
produce a considerable output of live
stock.
Many of these small hog raisers, ss
a result of the unfavorable condi
tion of the corn and hog markets, are
planning on selling all of their hogs,
or else they expect to butcher as
soon as convenient. In either event
it means that the majority will quit
the business, temporarily at least,
and an Important source of live
stock will be curtailed in Its produc
tlon. If this condition Is true over
this and surrounding states, the im
portancs of the situation will be
realized.
Of course, it may be argued that
this decrease in production would
bring the price to the point where
the larger producers could gain In
enhanced profits, that the small hog
raisers could not realize. in this
respect the curtailed production would
not aid In bringing up the price and
there would be a certain economic
loss that the small raiser would have
to sustain.
It is too early to look for any re
sults along this line for at the pres
ent time livestock shipments are
heavier than ever. Stock shipments
from the local yards amounted to
3,136 head of hogs and 856 head of
cattle during the month of January.
This exceeded the previous high
month, December, by 60 per cent. The
influx of hogs to the markets will
not aid In brlngin up the price and
some question may be raised as to
whether or not It will hurt the rais
ing of hogs in general among the
farmers of this vicinity.
Teacherage Plan
Growing in Favor
South Dakota Solves Problem
of Housing Teaehers in
Isolated Districts.
By Aiworiaird Pr«».
Pierre, S. D. — Country schools
in South Dakota give promise of be
coming more truly community cen
ters and, as another result, the
problem of housing teachers in iso
lated consolidated school district has
been solved since introduction of
the teacher's cottage or ‘‘teacherage”
three years ago under supervision of
the state department of public in
struction.
School hoards responded at once to
ihe new provision with the result
that there are now almost 100 of
these teachers' cottages’ in the state,
according to reports made to the di
vision of rural schools. Most of
these have been built in the thinly
populated areas west of the Missouri
river, Perkins county having the
greatest individual number, the sur
vey showed.
Under the plan, any school district
may receive $500 state aid for the
construction of such a cottage, pro
viding it fills the requirements laid
down hy the department for a com
fortable home life. One benefit of
this plan has been the attracting to
these out-of the way districts of more
highly qualified teachers.
The developments have taken place
in consolidated school districts where
the cottages hnve been huilt. In one
case teachers live in the cottage and
employ a housekeeper, and in the
other, the principal of the school and
his wife have charge of the home
and accommodate the other teachers
as roomers.
Under the combination plan, the
idea of "the little red schoolhouse”
lias become a thing of the past, of
ficials of the department pointed out.
The "school” appearance has been
eliminated in favor of modepp house
dfslgns. Including veranda and nice
ly-kept yards. The heating problem
1ms been simplified and hot lunches
are readily served.
Most favorable of all advantages
bas been the resulting gain in com
munity life centering about the school
under guidance of the state depart
ment. Teachers remain in the im
mediate vicinity of the school, and
evening entertainments have grown
in number in these districts to a
marked extent, according to com
parative reports.
“Hen Sense”
You know a chicken’s a regular
hog. It'll eat most anything and
don’t never seem to know what's
good for ’em. I remember once my
grandmother dumped the ice cream
freezer off the- hack porch and 15
or !0 of them darn-d liens killed
themselves eatin’ the rock salt.
All of which goes to show thst
you can't depend much on hen
sense—you’re got to do the flunkin'
and the chickens won't help very
much. You can’t figure Just cause
you've got a dozen hens In the
bark yard that you’re goln’ to have
fresh eggs for breakfast every
■Homin’. Thry're human In this
respect—that they respond to good
treatment if there's any good in
’em. If there isn't—you've got to
get ’em off the payroll or loose
money. Your chickens are workln*
for you—or should he; but you’ve
got to help and how well they do
generally depends on how good a
boss you are—how well you under
stand ’em.
May lie I can give you some help.
I want to if I ran. Chickens have
been m.v biggest Interest and chief
study for a long time. I love the
game. I'll bet I get more fun out
of doctorin' a roupy rooster than
the average surgeon does out of
an amputation.
So this column will he devoted to
some of the things you'll be thinkln’
about. We’ll start in right at the
start with egg selection and hatch
ing problems. I won't give you
any scientific explanations hut Just
plain common sees* as it appears
to me. Maybe you won’t always
agree with my ideas and I don't
expert you will so let's open this

through The Omaha Itee's Hen

BEHIND THE SCREEN
By SAMUEL GOLDWYN
V J_J
(fontlulled From Saturday.)
But, although Rt 30 I was a com
paratively seuccessful man, 1 was not
satisfied. I never had been satisfied.
I can remember how when a boy in
the cutting department I used to
walk by the leading hotel in Glovers
vllle and look at the "drummers"
who cocked their feet up in tha big
plateglass window. How I envied
them—those splendid adventurers
with their hats and their massive
cigars both at an angle! For to me
they represented the everlasting ro
mance of the far horizon, Anti when at
last I myself was admitted to this
peerage I was sensible, of course, of
another, greater goal. 1 have made
many mistakes in my life, but 1 can
honestly say that they were all re
sults of an unceasing effort on my*
part to reach the bigger thing just
beyond.
But to return to my story. It soon
became apparent that we needed
more money for the production of
"The Squaw Man." -How were we
going to raise that nw*essary $25,0007
Our first approach to the problem
was a personal one. Lasky and I
asked any number of people we knew
If they didn't want snipe stock in
the Lasky company. But all of them
were skeptical. At last, however, we
were able to borrow* the needed funds
out of hank. De Mille resumed work
on the picture, and a few weeks after
ward he returned to New York with
the precious merchandise. Mean
while he had wired us that there
was something wrong with the film,
hut even this did not prepare me for
my first glimpse of the production
upon which 1 had staked everything.
Buze! In the silence of that de
serted studio we heard the machine
began its work. And then, as from
a very far shore, I heard Lasky's
voice.
"We’re ruined." he cried.
He was saying only what I myself
had been too sick with horror to
exclaim. For, like a mad dervish,
the home of the noble Knglish earl,
together with all the titled ladies
tvho moved * therein, had jumped
across the screen. Time refused to
stabilise them. They went right on
jumping. And with gathering despair
we looked on what we supposed to
be the wreck of $47,000.
That it was not a wreck wss due
to the aid of some one from whom
we had no right to expect it. At that
time the late Slgismund Lubln of
Philadelphia was head of one of the
10 companies which we were fight
ing. Nevertheless it was to hlin I ap
pealed for expert advice. I look the
roll of film ever to Philadelphia, and
with a largeness of spirit which 1
shall never forget tlie old gentleman
saved me, his threatened rival, from
utter ruin. He pointed out that the
time-stop waR wrong. No, not an
irremediable defect. In the Joy of
this discovery I overlooked the hard
ship of his cure. Yet this was to
paste by hand new perforations on
both edges of a film that was nearly
a mile long.
The story of the beginning of the
Lasky company Is now coming to a
close. To It I might add a thousand
picturesque and amusing details, but
I realise that the chief interest of
my reminiscences Is focussed, not
upon the development of the motion
picture Industry—dramatic as that
undoubtedly is—but upon the celebrat
ed personalities with whom iny life
has brought me Into contract. I
have delayed this long the mors vital
communications because the transi
tion from the former Impoverished
photoplays to the elaborate spectacle
of today involved many producer* and
brought with it the rise of all our
tamous stars. To give a real insight
Into the lives of Mary Plckford,
Charlie Chaplin, Norma Talmadge.
Douglas Fairbanks, Wallace Reid.
Harold Lloyd. Mabel Normand snd
other fagious screen artist* obligates.
In fact, the background of photo
play history Involved In the start of
the Lasky company.
My last word here touches upon the
reception of "The Squaw Man." It
scored an immediate success. Our
second play established us even more
firmly. This prosperity resulted
logically In helping the orerthrow of
the trust. Beaten upon by the wave
of new photoplay methods, some of
its units were carried out to oblivion.
Others rose to the surface only
through comformlty to the agent of
destruction.
It was during an Interview with one
of the first exhibitor* who come to
my office that I heard the name of
the man who. unknown to me, had
already embarked on the very same
enterprise that I had.
"So you've got this idea of the lung
film too?” remarked this exhibitor.
If c.ne of the Indians who greeted
Columbus had said. "So you've landed
loo?" the explorer would have felt
probably as I did at that moment.
“What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Why." said he. "haven't yon
heard about the man that brought
over Sarah Bernhardt's first picture
and produced "The Prisoner of
Zenda —a fellow by the name of
Zukor?"
It was not until some months
after this that I first met Mr.
Adolph Zukor. then head of the
| Famous Players company. 1 should
like to have more space lo devole to
the eminent producer who. through
years of alternating competition and
co-operation, has touched my life a*,
so many points, but I can pause only
long enough for a few word*. Mr.
Zukor. like myself, started In the
world ns a poor hoy. Fnllke me, how
ever, he started film production with
n background of experience. Me had
owned for some years a number of
■notion picture theaters, and a more
Intimate dissatisfaction with available,
resources was hack of Ills break from
tradition. When he attempted to get
financial hacking for Ills project,
however, he met with the same
objection Which 1 had heard, and he
lias often told me how the theatrical
manager whose aid he attempted to
enlist scoffed, "What do you want 'o
show a long film for? People are not
going to linve the pntlsme to sit
through more than n thousand feet <if
film."
I might marshal a great many fxl
jetlves anil imiins to Mr. Zukor'*
credit, but I feel that 1 can suggest
his fundamental character more skil
fully by recalling one incident. Sev
ern! years after l had met him we
were coming home from some enter
tainment together when we saw a
blare In the locality of the Famous
Flayers* studio which, unlike our
own, was situated In New York. We
were soon to discover that It was the
studio Itself. In It were thousands
of dollars* worth of undeveloped nega
fives—many of them of Mary Pick
ford. Their destruction would have
merit financial ruin to Mr. Zukor. lie
himself realised this fully. Yet the
only words that he said, the words
which he kept repeating all through
the crisis, were, “Oh, do you think
anybody’s hurt?'*
CHATTER ThRT.K
Mary I'lckfonl,
It van norii# month* after I flr*»t
met our competitor that I received
my fleet fmpreaalon of the moat noted
acreen act re** In America A* I
walked Into Mi Zukor'a office one
evening 1 noticed a girl talking to
him. She was very small and her
little navy suit contrasted with the
jungle of fur coat from which peeped
another woman.
"They've offered me $500 for the
use of my name,” T heard her say,
“but do you really think that's
enough? After all, it means a lot to
those cold cream people.”
1 looked at the lovely profile where
every feature rhymes with every
other feature. I listened to the lovely
light voice. And 1 was struck by the
disparity between sentiment and
equipment.
Yet somehow she did invest these
words of mere commerce with a
quality quite apart from their sub
stance. There was something in her
tone, something in the big brown
eves, which made you think of a
child asking w hether it ought to give
up its stick of candy for one marble
or whether perhaps it could get two.
As I saw her slight figure go out
the door it was the appeal of her
manner rather than the text of her
question which made me ask im
mediately who she was.
"What!” Mr. Zukor exclaimed.
"Didn't you recognize her? Why,
that was Mary Pickford."
That was just about eight years
ago. Miss Pickford was already
a star, and she was twinkling under
the auspices of Adolph Zukor; for,
early in his career of producing, our
competitor had been fortunate enough
to secure the services of that great
pantomime artiste who had undoubt
edly contributed more than any other
single person to his present emi
nence.
Mr. Zukor made Miss Pickford a
star. This is a mere formal statement
of the case. In reality she made her
self, for no firmament ould have
long resisted any one possessing such
standards of workmanship. r am
aware that here I sound suspicious
ly like the press agent, who invari
ably endows his client with “a pas
sionate devotion to her work.” It is
unfortunate, indeed, that the zeal of
this functionary has ealioused public
consciousness to instances where the
statement is based on foot. All
screen stars are not animated by de
votion to work. Mary Pickford is.
To it site has sacrificed pleasures,
personal contracts, all sorts of ex
traneous Interests.
Several years before I walked into
the theater which inspired me with
my Idea. Mary Pickford was working
under Mr. Griffith in the Biograph
company, which. you will remember,
was a unit In the trust. Then she
was not a star. She was getting $26
a week, and the most vivid reflec
tion nf those eriy days of hers Is
afforded by a woman who used to
work with her.
"How well I remember her,” this
woman has told me, "as she sat there
in the shabby old Biograph offices.
She nearly always wore a plain little
blue dress with a second-hand piece
of fur about her throat "
Not long ago 1 asked Mr. Griffith
this question: "Did you have any
idea in those days that Mary Pickford
was destined for such a colossal suc
cess'.’" His answer was a decided
negative.
"You understand of course ' he Im
mediately qualified, "my mind waa
always on the story—not on the star
However, 1 nn say this: It was du*
to me that Miss Pickford was re
tained at all, for the management did
not care for her especially. To speak
plainly, they thought she was too
chubby.”
1 gasped at the impiety of the
word It was some time before I
could rally to ask him another goes
tion: "Then was there anything that
set her apart from other girls you
were engaging at that time?”
“Work,” he retorted promptly. "1
soon liegan to notice that instead of
running off ns soon ns her set was
over, she'd stay to watch the others
nn theirs. She never stopped listen
ing and looking. STie was detefndned
to learn everything she could about
the business.”
While considering these remarks
of the greatest screen director anent
the greatest screen actress, it is In
teresting to parallel them with Miss
Pickford'* comments upon Mr. Grif
fith. fine evening not long ago I
was entertained at the Fairbanks
home st a dinner Ineluding Charlie
Chaplin and Mr. Griffith. After the
local was served Doug took Mr Grif
fith out to see Ids swimming pool.
Mary and I were left alone, and ns
we looked after the tall, hent figure
of the director, 1 took advantage of
our solitude to ask her a question
which had often occurred to me.
"Mary," t asked her, "how did you
ever come to break away from Grif
fith""

Hog Lot Sanitation
Proves Big Success
Clay Center, Neb., Feb. 3.—Hog
!*t sanitation has become nn estab
1 la heel practice on the firm of Oacnr
Nelson near hero following his sue*
ccMs with this project of the agricul
tural extension service the Inst two
vears. Ijfist year Mr, Nelson raised
12ft head of spring pigs from 19 sows
under this system. They were so
even In site that his commission man
In ^t. Joseph could not find n cull.
They averaged 1H5 pounds on the
market at ft months of aqo and were
the most uniform bunch of porkers
that M. B. Posson, state extension
aget who supervised the project,
saw In traveling over the state last
>car. Worms, enteritis, and bull
■ nose caused hy filth in his old lots
had practically put Mr. Nelson out
• >f the hog business three years ago.
The sows wore farrowed In in
dividual houses in 1923, which bad
cost Mr. Nelson about $1'» each the
\ear before. They were kept in an
old orchard and nllowedto run in an
open field early In the spring Pater
they were moved into an alfalfa field
where they stayed until marketed.
Mr. Nelson self fed them on coin and
tankage until \ugust 1 when the new
crop of barley, ground, was substi
tuted for tin* corn. Water was hauled
in a water tank like those used with
i steam threshing rig and run Into a
stationary stock wnt**r tank tn which
was attached a self watorcr. The

of water n day and it \vn« a simple

I Adele Garrison i
I “My Husband’s Love” j
Harriet Marie a Graceful but—for
Her—In usual Admission.
I knew better than to answer even
bv a "thank you" the compliment my
mothe^ in law hail paid me but a
minute before. llicky once paid of
his mother that "when that doughty
dame was dispensing the high Justice,
the middle and the low. it was no
time for any mere relative to butt
In,” and 1 always hue remembered
—and heeded—the irreverent com
ment. Moreover, the tribute she gave
me was not a new one. She always
has been kind enough to approve of
the way I dress Junior, and I was
not surprised to have her w illlng to
turn over the sartorial details of her
orphaned grandchildren to me.
"You'll have no time to waste,"
Mother Graham went on. "I hate to
hurry you away. Harriet, it seems as
though we hadn't had any visit at
ail, but you know an well as I the
need for haste. Can you get that late
afternoon train, girls? Then you
will be able to start in at the shops
early tomorrow morning "
"What do you think?" Harriet
turned to me. "Shall we lie able to
secure that apartment over you
again? We gave it up. you know,
when we came out here.”
■'1 can find out in 15 minutes," I
promised her and, excusing myself,
I went to the telephone and colled
up the obliging janitor of the apart
ment w hich was our New York home.
“No, dot flat she not rented yet,"
came the rich, rolling voice, which
fils so well the janitor's rotund body.
"Two or three folks look at her, but
she not suit. Sure, l get her all
ready for you tonight."
Harriet was already in the throes of
packing when I reported this con
versation. while Mother Graham, two
spots of bright color in her cheeks,
hovered over tier and IJlIian efficient
ly attended to the washing of faces
and hands and the haircombing which
the four children, disheveled from
play, sadly needed.
"Imok here. Margaret." my mother
in-law said, first making sure that
no one of the children was in hear
ing, "what do you think about get
ting white rlothee for all of them
with a touch of black?"
"Mourning?" Harriet ejaculated,
and then, with a swift glance at me,
she compressed her lips to silence, !
knew that ahe could not help but
reaent her mother's appeal to me
instead of to her. but she evidently
had th# good sense to fall In with
whatever her mother chose to do or
say.
"No, distinctly not mourning.” her
mother snapped, "hut—well, shit's
the matter with you?” turning to
me. "Have you lost your tongue?"
"I was Just thinking." I said quiet
ly. "that If the children are to go
abroad with Harriet, and begin an
absolutely new phase of their lives,
it would he better not to have any
thing to remind them of their sor
rod. Besides, every one who saw
them would know that they recently
had been bereaved. It would make
them conspicuous—and easily traced "
of course the last phrase was ab
surd. hut I counted It a direct In
spiration. especially when my moth
er in law, who had begun to bridle
at the hint of opposition, cspltulated
promptly.
"Sometimes you really have the
sense you were horn with. Margaret."
she said. "It will lie betier all around
If you put them In colors, but—not
too bright ones."
I forehore to tell her that bright
colors were a pet aversion of mine,
and only murmured dutifully:
"<>f course not. mother. I'll see to
it that everything l» extremely
quiet."
See Hint you do." she retorted
"Ho you think you girls can get along
without me now? 1 feel pretty tired
He'll try to get along, of course.
Mother," I said promptly, trying to
let no hint of my real relief appear
In my voice. It would have been a
fatal mistake to let Mother Graham
suspect that we could do far better
without her captious supervision.
'I should think three grown wom
en ought to he able to get four chil
dren ready for a Journey," she com
mented crivssly, and then the Indo
mitable figure turned away and
trudged down the corridor to her
own room. With a common Impulse.
Harriet and I looked after her and'
when her door closed. mv sister In
law turned to me
"Margaret.” she said tensely. "I
am going nvvav ami 1 may not see
you again for a long time. I think
It Is only due you to say that you
have been far more patient with
mother Ilian either of her own daugh
ters ever was
