A three year rotation of rape, oats seeded, and clover is carried on in the hog paddocks and this provides a continuous supply of green feed throughout the summer. The object in feeding is to keep the sows in a . thrifty condition. They should not be allowed to become too fat or too thin- If they are very thin after the pigs are weaned, they are fed well until a normal weight is reached. If plenty of'green feed is available, about four pounds of mixed grain per sow per day is usually sufficient to keep her in good condition. When nursing a litter, the sow is fed all She will clean1,... up, This amount will vary from £ to 12 pounds daily for different sows- The grain mixture for thp sows varies at times, owing to the nature of the feed on hand. A satisfactory mixture consists of equal parts of . ground oats, ground barley and mid­ dlings. The barley may be omitted for sows in good condition.and unless suitable mineral and protein supple­ ments are provided, -it should be om- > itted during the last month before , farrowing. The nursing sow should receive at least two pounds of skim­ milk per pound of grain or fish meal i or tankage at the rate of 8 per centk of the ration. Mangels are always provided for* winter feeding and are fed. at the rate-, of about 2 pounds per 100 pounds live- weight per day. Clover hay is sup-t; plied in racks. If potatoes are fed ter brood sows, they should be fed only sparingly during pregnanev. At this time it is advisable to feed fish meal at the rate of about 3 per cent, of the ration, if no skim-milk ispavailable. Bone char and salt are each fed at the rate of one per cent, of the ra- tion at all times. t _ __________ “Why did you tell Joe you married me because I’m a wonderful cook? I can’t boil a potato!” “But I had to give some excuse. [the result that many lives are cut ‘ short, The prevention of tuberculosis is nothing mysterious. It depends upon our making use' of what is already known concerning the disease. The germ which causes tuberculosis is transferred-from the sick to the well in the droplets of sputum or saliva expelled by coughs, sneezes or spitt­ ing. Just as soon as we realize that the body secretions coming from the mouth and nose are the most, danger­ ous disease spreaders, may we hope that effective means will be taken to prevent their passage from one per­ son to another. Those who know they have tuber­ culosis will if they have been taught, and particularly if they have had the great advantage of training in sana­ torium, take such'precautions as will protect those with whom they come in contact. There ate many persons, going about their’ ordinary lives and work, who have tuberculosis but who do not know it; they are not taking any special care. Everybody, men; women and child­ ren, should cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Spitting is mostly a habit as is shown by the gradual disappearance of the spittoon. No one should spit except from ne­ cessity and then only into their hand­ kerchiefs or a proper receptacle. No one should talk right into the face of some other person. Eating and drinking utensils, un­ less sterilized, may pass these dang­ erous secretions from one user to an­ other. The common drinking-cup should be banished from the home as well as from public places. Health departments see that restaurants ster­ ilize their dishes, but what happens in the home? Each one can help to- prevent tub­ erculosis by looking after his own­ general health, covering his mouth when couhging or sneezing, avoiding­ spitting, and by supporting the health organizations which work for the “Rastus, does you love me?” “Mandy, you is one woman I don’t like none other no better than.” CAREERS ARE HER HOBBY ainst the Title.*' Mias Lethbridge is Riflefiv> Miss Mabel Lethbridge, O.B.E., of fate agent, is busy writing the second London, England, who lost a, leg and volume of her autobiography, “Ag- reteived 43 wounds during the war it*"" " * *’ *L and became Britain’s first woman es* teaming to fly an aeroplane and has already been- mi egg grinder, advertising ci estic servant, num A man had a slight difference of opinion with his wife.
