Care of the Farrowing Sow.
Special farrowing pens are pro-
vided only when many breeding
sows are kept, .but where there is
to be a removal from the ordinary
quarters to a special place it should
be done in good time, so that the
sow may become thoroughly accus-
tomed to her new surroundings,
writes Mr, W. 11. Gilbert,
There is considerable :difference
of opinion as to why sows kill and
eat their young, and no doubt the
causes are as diverse as the theor-
ies advanced to account for it. One
of them, however, and not the least
common, is insufficient space.
A. sow, when she lies down in
close quarters, is apt to catch an
unfortunate youngster between her
carcass and the wall against which
she generally places her back when
suckling her pigs,
The farrowing -pen shuttle], of
course, be regulated to some extent
by the size of the breed kept, but
generally the space allowed is too
limited, and we frequently see big
heavy sows with hardly room to
turn around in the diminutive
apartments that, previous to far-
rowing, served them as sleeping
quarters.
Small breeds should be allowed
a space of not less than eight feet
by eight feet, increasing in the case
of the larger breeds up to twelve
feet by eight feet, or twelve feet by
ten feet; and to prevent the young
pigs from bring crushed against the
wall, it is a good plan to fix a
strong rail around each side of the
farrowing -place, at a height of from

The inexperienced breeder thinks j
he must brace up his sow with'
plenty of good food to meet the de- 1
mind on her system and produce
plenty of milk on which the pigs
can grow and thrive.
In theory this sounds well, but:
experience goes to show that it is a'
poor sort of sow, and one that
should not have been bred from,
that does not, at the start, produce
enough milk for her pigs without
an extra to' special feeding.
The time for this is later on when
the pigs are • growing and require
a largo quantity of rich milk to sat-
isfyy their requirements, and in pro-

directly the pigs are born is not only
unnecessary, and therefore waste-

inflames the udder; while the effect
on the little pigs is to sicken them

u .'he diet of the seeking sow should
be gradually increased in' quantity
and richness, and as the pigs grow,
a little meal composed of wheat,
barley or oats may be added to the
shorts and bran, which is about the
best diet at this period, and the num-
leer of times of feeding increased.
An important feature in the suc-
oessfnl management of the sow and
litter is to get the youngsters to
feed as early as possible. This pays
in two ways --it saves some of the
drag on the sow, and it gets the
pigs fit to wean earlier, releasing
the sow from her maternal dirties.

Nothing less than a bullet

Aletteminel wounds, involving -

that do not molest big arteries of

What used to be known as gaa-
greno has virtually disappeared,
and only in rare instances does pus
form at all. When 11 does, it is
primarily due to neglect or to nu-
skillful
uskillful handling by surgeons.
These conclusions aro .set forth in.
en article by Prof. Frank Colmers,
of Coburg, who took charge of the
hospitals in Sofia at the request trf
King Ferdinand upon the breaking
out of the war in the Balkans.
Two things have brought about
the improvement over the days
when any wound of the limbs meant
amputation and penetration of the
abdomen was nearly always fatal.
Ono is, of course, the greater ad-
t•aleD of asceptic 'surgery. The
other is the form, constitattfon and
velocity of the modern projectile,
Bores a Neat Bole.
Except at extremely close range
—within 100 yards, where the bullet
of the armies of to -day tears .a hole
bigger flutn a man's hand at the•
point of exit—the projectile 'ordi-
narily bores a neat hole through its
victims. Furthermore; it is ren-
!dered asceptic by theheatgencrated
Iby its high velocity, and it carries
no particle of clothing ink the ca-
nal of the” wound. The wound is,
therefore, absolutely germ -free,
and if proper]y bandaged it devel-
ops no pus.
Dr. Colrners, who served in the
Japanese hospitals during the
Russo - Japanese War, warns
against tamponing wounds . to
cheek hemorrhage. Wherever this
course was followed—and a great
many Bulgarian surgeons followed
it ---infection resulted.
It is interesting to note that the
proper treatment for gunshot
wounds puncturing the intestines
appears to be do • treatment at all.
The most favorable recoveries, says
Dr. Claimers, were recorded in the
caves of rrren who, shot through the
abdomen, had been missed and al-
lowed to lie on the field two or three
days, with nothing to eat and with-

that arrangements should be made

A point of especial interest for•
Germany lies in the fact that the
war in the Balkans is the arse time
the projectiles now used in the Ger-
man army rifle have been used in
actual combat. The Turks are em-
ploying these bullets. They consist
cif a stool jacket lbaded with lead.
They vary, however, from those
used in most other armies in that,
instead of having an oval nose,
they ere decidedly pointed, The
eeetrc .1 gravity of the round nosed
projectile 'is nearly in the middle,
but that of the pointed bullet is
nearer the base. Asa result It has
tt tendency, only overcome by the
twist imparted by the rifting and by
its great velocity, to change ends in
Hight, to "keyhole," eta it is ex-
pressed. The instant the nose
• meets resietanoe this 'potentially is
converted into effeottive action, the
bullet turns in the wound's channel,
and the result is both a more extern -
sive implication of tissues and the
frequent lodging of the bullet in the
body, making later operative inter-
ference necessary. Another note-
worthy effect is that the bullet, in
thus turning, very regularly is
gripped, the jacket separating ex-
plosively from the cone and minute
particles of both jacket and letud in-
vading the entire region of the
wound. This ntiturally leads to in-
fection and sepsis, The pointed
bullet appears also to penetrate
arteries more often than the round -
