Timely Pointers On Winter Hog Management.

Never before has there been a time in which the swine producers should practice the best principles in the breeding of swine as now. Brood —sews—and males—at —breeding trnTe should be in good growing condition, in Other words gaining in weight, -ts--the best results are to be obtained. Throughout the winter, rations should be fed that will properly, furnish the entire body of the animal. This can be done by feeding a variety of feeds suitable to economic hog production. _A number of good rations are here suggested? CornriinetypaTteand'tankage"ten parts; corn seventy parts, middlings or ground oats thirty parts; corn one part, middlings one part and ground one part; corn sixty parts, bran thirty parts and oil meal ten parts. Feed enough grain each day to keep the animals gaining nicely with the object in view of having them in good condition at the farrowing time. One of the primary factors in keeping brood sows ingood _ health,is. exerc is e. The sleeping quarters should be clean, comfortable and . roomy. Do not feed brood sows ice water this winter. Water should be warm or not any colder than it usually comes from a deep well. A very successful method of feed- ~ ing- is the rose, of a self feeder.—Ccmr, ground oats and tankdge may be fed in three different compartments of the feeder, this allows the pigs to help themselves at the various feeds as their appetites deniand.Be sure and provide comfortable sleeping quarters. The pigs feeding on the self feeder should have plenty ■ of at all times. If a conditioner is desired in winter feeding of hogs, the following mixture may be used. Three bushels charcoal, eight pounds of common salt, two quarts of air ’slacked lime, one bushel of wood ashes and ope and one-fourth pounds of copperas dissolved in water and sprinkled over the mixture. Place this in a hopper where the pigs can help themselves. It is exceedingly important that swine producers guard against lice. They reduce the vitality of the animal,-waste feed, and consequently depreciate the value of the resulting littert of brood sows. Breed for as early, litters as con- - ditions on the farm will, permit. Have sows bred as closely together as possible. To avoid with the rrrale, use common hog sense. Feed balanced rations. Keep the sows gaining in flesh. See that they have plenty of exercise. The hogs house should be clean, roomy and comfortable. .

SOFT CORN.

Indiana has a large corn crop in quantity but it is two or three weeks late, and as the fall is that much or m ore early, _two —extremes met withTrhiilihgTrost about Oct. 6 TKSt caught much of it green and immature, followed by cool, moist -weather and a good deal us rain OT~ snow < that has prevented its drying, and on Nov.. Ist the farmers have a large crop of immature corn on their hands, none of which is fit to crib or bulk in any way, and perhaps will not be for a month or more, as it should not be husked till in condition to -keep, and it will dry .outJbetter on the stack in the field than any where else. It will be cold and wet husking in the winter, but it will be far better to husk dry corn in the winter than to husk it earlier and have it spoil and lose all. None of the corn should be put on ithe market until in good condition. There is a car shortage. Grain men cannot ship when they want to, and will have to put the price down to cover damage, shrinkage, interest and insurance. And all this will come off the firmer, so he would better keep his corn until it is merchantable. The world needs the corn and will pay a good price for it when it is in condition to keep. I would advise Indiana, farmers to be careful. Do not crib your corn until you are sure it will save, and do not put any of it on the market till in good condition to ship. J. H. BIDDLE, Remington, Ind., Pres. Ind? State Farmers’ Congress.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS

Because It’s For One Thing Only, and Rensselaer People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good everything. Doing one thing well brings success. x ■ Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only. , t" For weak or disordered kidneys. , Here is Rensselaer evidence to prove their worth. . Mrs. Guy Hudson, Clark St., Rensselaer, says:' “I had spells of backache and was nearly worn out by the dull Constant ache across my kidneys. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and they gave me fine relief. l certainly think they are effective.” . . Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simplyask for a kidney remedy—-get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Hudson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Matinee Musicale Club.

The second program of the Matinee Musicale Club was given Frit afternoon at the Presbyterianchurch. It wasa eombinationof two programs. The difficulty of obtaining the Italian classics at this time has made it impossible to carry out the work as planned by the program ’ committee. Mrs. L. E. Barber in a well expressed and particularly entertaining talk, gave “The Beginning and Development of Oratorio," giving in a comprehensive way the purpose of, the places given and the characters in, these early musical productions. Her subject was pleasingly illustrated by two fine voice numbers, “Victorious My Heart Is,” by Carissimi, given by Mrs. Geo. Reed, and “I Will Extol Thee, Oh Lord,” from the oratorio “Eli” by Costa, given by M*rs. J. A. Dunlap. Mrs. Wm. subject, “Italian Opera, Its Birth and Development to Rossini,” related the next part of the musical program to the first. Two pleasing voice numbers illustrated this paper .also, “Lasciatemi Miriri,” from the opera “Arianna,” by Monteverde, given by Mrs. A. H. Hopkins, and a “Pastorale” by Veracini, giveiTby"Mrs. TL~J7 Randle. The charity program will be given at the time of the next regular meeting and on Dec. 14 a program On “Early Nineteenth Century Music of Italy,” will be given at the Christian church. ... 7.: 1 — —t ——~~ Some interesting musical news items were given.

George Adeu who has just returned from a visit to Camp Mills at Mineola, has brought’ a story back. While in New York City Mr. Ade» dropped in at the Lambs Club where a lot of actors past war age were sitting around talking about trenches. Everybody was-anxious tu fight but ali"sai<T they were too old. Qne of the company said he regretted greatly that he was not eligible, but he hoped that he might do his bit in some way on this side. He said: “I would even be willing to go to France on the next transport if I could get the kind of a war j ob I have in mind ” “What’s that?” asked another actor. .' “Well,” replied the would-be warrior, “I should like to go to the front as a chauffeur for a general with a yellow streak.”

"Potter’s Field.”

“Potter’s field.” the graveyard In which are buried those who are interred at public expense, comes by its name legitimately. In England and the continent the clay used to make pottery was dug up in long trenches, which -were left unfilled. Common consent soon made It possible for these unsightly stretches of ground to be put to the useful purpose of Interring the bodies of those who were cared for as a charge on coun try.

When Children Are Crow, Be Kind.

= Don't be cross with children when they are cross. If they are irritable and pouty leave them alone to their blues by trying to divert their attention to some interesting book or game or toy. Get them outdoors to play or to walk. Take them for a ride. The common retort to cross children Is in being cross yourself, but this only hurts the children and makes them moody and later despondent.

All Modern Conveniences.

Four-year-old Marion with her mother was visiting in a small town. One day while passing the public watering trough for horses a flock of birds was perched on the side of the tub drinking. This was something new for Marion and, looking up at her mother in surprise, she said: “Why, mudder, I didn’t know they had bathtubs for their birds down here.”

Young Men's Christian Association War Fund News.

Like a- mighty army rose up the thousands of workers at the opening of the great nation wide army and navy Y. M. C. A. campaign for $35,000,000 yesterday. Reports from different parts of the country indicate a wonderful start in the raising of this fund in the interest of our soldiers and sailors. This district in northwestern Indiana has every promise of “Going Over the Top” in raising its fund of $115,000 this week. The following are some of the things which these war funds of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. will provide for the men of the army and navy: The erection, equipment and maintenance of 2,500 army buildings, huts and dugouts. “Trench and Camp Clubs.” Maintenance of 5000 army secretaries-} n-the field.— Stationery for letters. home. Newspapers, magazines and books. Talking machines and records. Pianos and other musical instruments. balls, footballs, volley balls and other athletic equipment. Motion picture machines and film service. Entertainments of all kinds using both professional and amateur talen.t * Lectures and educational classes. Religious meetings and Bible classes. “Something Doing Every Minute,” characterizes the work that the association is doing in the interest of our boys in khaki. The Y. M. C. A. is a mighty force that is working in keeping wholesome amusement and entertainment in the interest of bringing our boys home clean. The following verse written by one of the soldiers at Camp Shelby at Hattiesburg, Miss., indicates the interest that the men in military service have in their “Army Home,” the Y. M. C. A.:

HELP THE “Y” I hear the boys most every night, As letters they are writing; Ask what they’ll do when near the fight With others, they are resting, Without a “Y” in which to write Back home to wife or mother. You say you’re with us, then tonight Start out to help us, brother. YoulbveAheflag we’re fighting for And all that lies below it? Patriotic? —Sure you are! Well, now’s the time to show it. There are many causes merit praise but while to them you’re givin’, Say brother, won't you help us raise That five and thirty million? We need a. place where we cango, — To find some rest and comfort; So “come across” —we need the , , “dough”— Yes, every nickel of it. Yna’il rreverTtnow the goed ’twill do Throughout this great world struggle, But it will help us, cheer us too, And lighten every trouble You’ve never failed us heretofore, In anything we’ve asked for; And we feel sure that e’er it’s o’er You’ll fill the campaign coffer. Sp help the “Y,” the soldier’s friend, We know you’ll ne’er regret it; We’ll than k you, too, for all you send And KNOW you’re patriotic. , Sgt. C. E. BOLYARD, Co. L, 150th Inf., Camp Shelby.

County Agent Notos.

Mr. -John Brown, an extensive farmer of Monon, spent Thursday and Friday of last week in the county in charge of a Pork Production Campaign a» a representative of the government. The campaign, which was arranged by the county Better Farming Association, was a decided success in bringing about a realization of the need of greater pork production and in explaining the government’s attitude in the matter. All evidence points to the fact that the war will continue for a long time. Those persons who state that the war will be over in a few months are simply sowing seeds of discontent. We do not realize the seriousness of the situation. The world is looking to us for large supplies of food during the war, and lirill continue to do so long after the war is over. We do not realize the seriousness ’Oi SttUatWlT. Tfit^wOnu IS 100 ing to us for large supplies of food during the war, and will continue to do so long after the war is over. TheTirqt question for US tO wrhOurselves at this time, what can we do to help win? Every man and child can do something. Let us start doing right now. Thousands of our boys have answered the call. Many will never return. They are doing their part and we must do ours. What can these boys do without our help? As much depends upon us as upon them. Without proper equipment they can do nothing. The best equipped armies will win. One of the greatest needs is plenty of food. The American farmers can win or lose this war. The more we dp at this time the more of our boys we will save. We must forget the idea of profit. Should we lose our money will be valueless. It will take more than money to win. We answered the call to the Red Cross. We answered the call to the buying of Liberty bonds. A great many of us cannot contribute money, but we can snow our patriotism just as much by doing what we can in a great many other ways. The call at this time is for an increase in pork production. This appeal is direct to the farmers of this county, we must answer the car. We are short over 5,500,000 hogs from last year nad the demand is greater than ever before. Pork is the main •rm v food It r *an be oroduced more rapidly than any other meat product It is our patriotic duty to begin at once to prepare for an increase. Raise more breeding stock. Take better care of it. Grow it to heavier weight. Raise two litters of pigs per year. If you cannot finish all you raise "someone will buy them that can. The landlords of this county should begin at once to provide the tenants with material to use in preparing places to keep more hogs. If they • do not have the breeding stock, help them get, it, either by furnishing them the money, or helping them get it. Neighbors must help one another, take some chances, it is for a good causer Cities and towns that now prohibit the keeping of hogs within their limits, should permit the same. Enough hog food goes to waste in the cities and towns of Indiana to produce enough meat for thousands of people. -Is it not much better to have the odor of a clean pig pen than the poison gas and' powder of the Kaiser?

You are taking no chances in answering this call. The government tells you__that-it_wdlL see thatyouprofit by so doing. It has guaranteed a minimum price of $15.50 per cwt. for the present 'crop of hogs and thirteen times the price of a bushel of corn for pigs farrowed next spring. These prices are extremely liberal, especially as relates to next year’s crop of hogs and will appeal to the pocketbook of those who will not respond, to patriotism. For the sake of our boys that have gone, humanity and our county, let us do our best and do it now. And when the war is over we will still remain the shining light of the world.
