To .Breed Sows.
,
The, period of &estrum or heat in
the sow appears in the neighborhood
of every twenty-one, days, with the
normal animal in good breeding' -con-
dition. The ,sow remains' in heat
from one tofive days. The effect of
delaying the boar's services until- the
period of heat is almost over, has
long been a subject fine discussion
with the hog -then. Such practice, it
is claimed, inveriably results in larg-
er litters than would be the' ease
were the sow bred during the first'
day.. As a physiological explanation,
of the foregoing, it isdaimed that

II1I-lealth Spells Poverty and Misery: We Must Prevent It.
Helen Johnson Keyes
Is there something mistaken about.
the methods we use in 'teaching our
boys and girls health and hygiene?
According to the statute' the subject
must form part of the gehoee curieu.
lune yet how little is really le-arneet?
The truth Is, very few -children will
kindle to enthusiasm over such sub-*
jects-as, "how to be well," "whet are
germs-?" "dean milk," "the un-
spealcable,fly." We mast attaek the
subeeet in a different -way if ewe
want to get their interest. ,
Instead oe leetering to them on
"How to be. Well," why not show
them that ie -they want to be good-
looking, bright, and c-onepetent, they
meet have health; that health rr.eans
popularity and power? - Let them
understand that fresh air is good, for
the -complexieli, that exercise gives
strength and grace to 'the figure, that
a geed digestion, means a clear skin,
an agreeable disposition, and an ac-
tive rnind. After they have been
made to fed that health is worth
while, because it gives power,,then
we may tell them how air, exercise,
and nutrition aet on the body. We
have related health and health -habit
to something which interests them.
Almost any person, particularly et
young -girl, Will resent being told that
she ought to take more baths - in
order to be cleaner, but if she is re-
minded that -she will be prettier for
frequent bathing and if the boy is
told that he will play better ball for
having frequent cold showers - or
sponges or plunges, they will feel
that 1± 18 worth While to test the sug-
gestion. The girl's mind will leap
to dreams of influence and admira-
tion, which every normal girl desires,
the boy will see himself out -stripping
his matee in muscle and general capa-
city. And the dreams will eoree

beauty and strength and when one

that this is soethen it will be the mo-
ment to teach them why it is so, What
the pores are 'and what they do..
III health spells poverty; if they
want a bank account and the respect,
of the eortimunity, they must leave
the power vehich health confers. Why
does the govegnment, we ,might a'sls
them, distribute free medieines and
treatment to maintain health Among
animals? Because the sickness of
animals means ertorindus loss of
wealth to the nation. .Loes of health

and, in addition, great personal suf-
