She believed then, and she believes now, that your love will find expression not only in words but in deeds. That you will do all that is humanly possil le to make her happy, ti keep her in health, to make her motherhood f such .should come,- a -glory.--, if such should come, a glory. Have you done that? Have you kept your part.of the agreement that is just, as .binding] whether it was expressed iri words or only in infer-' once? Yop have sheltered her, fed her, clothed her. Is that all your duty ? You have taken out insurnhee, perhaps bought her not only the needed things of life but some of the luxuries, you have not forgotten the celebration of the wedding anniversary or of her birthday. You have told her the truth about all things, remember the caresses that .made of .your honeymoon a .wonderful, memory, stood by .her,, protect Al h'er, loved her—and all that is fine and splendid and worthy of you as a m'a'n and as a citizen.

BETTER CARE OF
Smaller Litters Are Reported in Many Parts and Crop Will Be Below Normal.
SOWS WERE IMPROPERLY FED
Besides Feeding Sanitation !s Big Problem for Grower—Young Animals Will Not Thrive if Permitted to Run Loose. (Prepared by Information Service, Iowa State College, Ames.) Small litters of pigs are reported in many parts' lids spring and indications are that the pig crop will be j far below normal. This will mean } that better care of the surviving pigs I will be necessary if the nation's sup- ' ply of animals'is kept anywhere near j the average. The reason for the shortage of pigs is explained by the fact that, ,due to the cheapness of corn the past winter, it was fed in large amounts to j brood sows, while tankage, or protein j j balancer for the ration, was comparatively high priced and was not given to the animals in large amounts. As a result many of the sows are far- j [ rowing pigs that are weak. Sanitation Most Important. In order to keep those pigs successfully farrowed, proper feeding is not the only problem of the farmer. Lack

Twelve states already represented in an older affiliation will be joined by. automobile clubs from other states in a nation-Wide body
to be known as the .National Automobile Association.

The Number of Pigs Saved Will Pay for This House in a Single Year and You Have the Building Leit. of sanitation carries off more pigs than does improper feeding. Dr. K. W. Stouder, veterinarian at Iowa State college, has found that where pigs are allowed to live “anywhere” they will often develop into runts with hull nose and snuffles and soon die due to unknown diseases. A streak of wet weather will start pigs going backward, especially where they are allowed muddy quarters. Soon yniooiions break out m their gums or jaws and faces become distorted and “bull nose” is the result. When the infection causes the cutting off of the wind by pressing on the nostrils “snuffles’’ results. .Often this infection gets down into the stomach and intestines and death is not far away. Often a pig, although the sow is furnishing plenty of good milk, becomes thin and scrawny and soon dies. Although many names have been given this disease, Doctor Stoiidor says that it is the result of “filth infection.” The germs which cause the trouble are frequent in old manure piles and wallows where bacteria thrive. Experiments with pigs show that where the pigs are allowed to run on good blue grass pasture the majority of the litter survive, while pigs confined to yards where they have to run through mud and under sheds die. in 00 per. cgnt of the cases before the.v, get their gq-mvth. Movable Hog House Favored. The farmer who has a large number of pigs gan well afford to build a movable hug house. Such houses, designed by tfie Iowa experjpient sta"Tidp at Ame^ v have been used for a number of years and have proven their worth. Recently requests for plans were received from Italy where some farmers had heard of the houses and wanted to try them. These houses are inexpensive, easily kept i clean and can he pulled from one field to another. They can be turned so that sunlight is allowed to enter and are arranged so that plenty of ventilation is provided for. The feature of the house is the manner in which sunlight is allowed to enter through the top. The movable hog house is also easily disinfected at any time and if several are used the hogs and pigs can he transferred from one to another while cleaning is being done. Rotation of hog pastures prevents infestations by parasites, such as worms which get into the soil and affect the entire herd.
CHEAP SEED MOST EXPENSIVE Poor Strain of Alaska Peas Sown in Maryland and Delaware Resulted in Loss. It pays to know the parentage and quality of seed. In 1920 some 1.70O acres of a poor strain of Alaska peas were sown in Maryland and Delaware, resulting in loss to the canners as this strain when canned became dark and of course was not of much value for the market. Cheap seed is often most expensive.—LeRdy Cady, associate horticulturist, University Farm, St. Paul.
Course in Driving and in Automotive Mechanics Will Be Money and Time Well Spent—Instruction Book Will Help. With about 2,000,000 automobiles being produced In tins country annually, it can he taken for granted that about 6,000 cars are sold every business day of the year. A lot of purchasers are fairly green when it comes to operating their cars, to say nothing of taking the proper care of them. Of course the buyer receives a certain amount of instruction as to running the machine from the man who sells it to him. That is to say, the owner when he finds himself alone with his newly acquired possession is apt to steer the tiling well enough to keep between the two curbs of the street and to negotiate a corner by some hook or crook. He may know how to step on the gas, where at least one of the' brake apparatus is and something about shifting gears.^ Should Know His Car. But there are a lot of things about a car that he should know, and if he doesn’t know them he should get busy at once to acquire some knowledge. 'fhe best thing for him to do right off the bat is to take a short course • in .driving from some experienced mail or in some recognized school, and a longer course in automotive mechanics. This will he time and money well spent in the long run. At any rate, lie should take the instruction hook- that comes with Ids car and learn it by heart. A good deal of it will he Greek to him,' and it will he necessary to consult an expert to get an explanation of this technical information and make it somewhat understandable. This hook should he reverenced next to the Bible. It is indispensable. Doubtless the owner will find that the manufacturer lias, for instance, given certain- instructions concerning lubrication, perhaps has specified certain kinds of lubricants. Now, no matter how much you may know about the subject of lubrication, rest assured that the manufacturer has had an engineer study out the lubrication of bis car, and what he writes concerning it is the last word, and it should be followed implicitly. Service Depends on Care. The same tiling D true as to tires, brakes or steering g.fsr, of any other part of the inechanisiv. The owner, whether he possesses a low-priced car or an edition de luxe, lias about as much money tied up in Ids auto as lie feels he can devote to that particular form of pleasure or to business. It is an investment which will or will not bring commensurate returns in money or moments well spent. It can be made an indispensable aid to both business and pleasure or it may become an insufferable nuisance. The actual value of a car depends not so much upon the amount of the purchase price as upon what can he gotten out of it; its service, its dependability and general reliability; that and the low cost of upkeep and operation. It is reasonable, therefore, for the owner to give as much thought and study to the machine which propels him and his merchandise as to the machine in the factory which produces the merchandise. He ought to understand how and why and wherefore it propels him—or why not.

An advantage afforded by the use of these pipes, as shown in the illustration, is that the heat may be directed into the car through a perforated cover. This arrangement does not encroach upon the foot room, and in summer the perforated section can be covered with a piece of sheet iron and the sheet-iron box cover about the improvised heater muffler removed to avoid unduly heating the floor.—G.

COUNTESS’ STOCKINGS
London—A local store has sued Lord Catbcart for nine pairs of silk stockings bought a year ago.
F. E. Perry of Leipsic, and F. G. Ketner of Columbus, will represent the Ohio co-operative live stock shippers on the board of directors- of the farmer-owner co-operative commission company now being established at Buffalo, according to an announcement made by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation- last week. Articles of incorporation have already been filed in New York state. Four states are interested in the establishment of the Buffalo firm. Nine men will comprise the directing body which will look after its operation, three from Michigan, three from Indiana, one from New York and two from Ohio. Financing! of the company will be carried out in proportion to the use of the terminal made by co-operative shippers of these states. On National Plan This commission firm is set up in accordance with a national plan worked out at the insistence of the American Farm Bureau Federation and annroved bv co-operative live stock shippers throughout the countrv. Farm-owned companies have already been established at Indianapolis and Fast St. Louis in accordance with this plan and others will follow in the near future. In addition to* the Buffalo comnany Ohio live stock men are already working toward tb Q establishment of local branches at Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Apportionment of $25,700, Ohio’s share in financing these four firms, has been made to the live stock companies and other interests backing the project in this state.
THEFT SHOWS NEED OF STATE POLICE Is the farmer entitled to any protection from the widespread depredations of theives who roam about the country in auto-trucks ? The need for protection may be noted on every hand. On a recent Sunday several young evergreen trees were pulled from a forest planting and brought into the city by members of an auto party. This was a thoughtless act, perhaps, but it meant a real loss to the owner. In December, 1921, choice plantings of spruce trees were cut and removed from a farm in Wayne County for the Christmas market. As might be expected this thieving was done at night by men* who journeyed a number of miles from a not remote city. Not content with one large truck load, they came back for a second. This proved their undoing; for by a lucky stroke the men were caught and taken into custody. Nine times out of ten, however, the thief gets away with the farmer’s apples, vegetables, Christmas trees, and even livestock. When may the State be expected, to make a serious effort to protect her citizens and their property in the country, as well as they are now protected in the cities ? Ohio cities and villages are lighted and have a police patrol. May not a state constabulary or mounted police for rural service similar to that of Canada, Pennsylvania, New York and a score of other states be equally beneficial to the public welfare in Ohio?
