exerc . se the sows . Lazy Exciting Sport A n im a ls A re L ik e ly to H ave T ro u b le at F a rr o w in g T im e . O ur observation convinces us that one can take large liberties in balanc ing the ration for brood sows if they Hu* kept on the go an 1 m ade to hustle • • irliig the day. says the Iowa lioiue- i lead. We are not in favor of the I»:.'n of filling up th e troughs in the morning, allow ing the sow s to walk i bout tw o rods from their nice, warm beds, consum e their ration and Imme diately go back to their sleeping quar ter«. *3lli h a life of ease is not a 111011 - py m aking proposition. It Is much bet ter to scatter the feed around the yard so th at when the sow turns «nit In the m orning she has practically her fore noon« work :»hend of her. Make if L.erally a questiou of “root. hog. or die" and you will contribute iu the largest degree tb strong litters. We are not advocating a starvation policy by any m eans, because, as a m atter of fact, it pays to keep the sow gaining until she farrow s, but the iu Civusc lu w eight should be put on right, and this cannot lie done if sows are allow ed to loaf around their sleep ing q u arters all day. Not only should their feed be scattered so th at tim e will be spent in ton inning it. but the sows should actually Lu» turned aw ay from the yards every day vdien the w eather is at all suitable. T hen turn them out in a field where there Is no straw and no conveniences so that they can m ake them selves com forta ble. and the result will la* th at they will l oop them selves on the move con tinually. So much the b etter if there is a corncrib located a considerable dlstan e from the barns, so th a t a few ears could be fed there once or tw ice dally. T he practical effect of-thls will be to keep the sows going backw ard and forw ard, ami they will possibly m ake the trip ns m any as six or seven tim es a day. T hey are under con tau t suspi cion th at there m ight be som e grain available a t the other end of the line, and their lioggl h natu re asserts itself to th e extent th a t they are not going to tak e It for grunted, but m ake, as It were, a personal Investigation. This accom plishes exactly w hat Is desired, because it develops the sows in the ri-h t direction, and under this kind of treatm ent they usually farrow strong, hearty litters. I l i i I The Old Turnpikes. T he first great Am erican highw ay, that betw een New York and Philadel phia. was lung known as “the old York road." Its construction In 1711 w as an exam ple which led the colonists at other points along the A tlam ic sea board to construct sim ilar m ads where there were no w ater m utes. They were usually built by chartered com panies and w ere called turnpike* or loll roads Pennsylvania. Connecticut^ and New Jersey had many m ads of t .e kind The first m acadam m ad in America was built in 17! 12 betw een Philadelphia and L ancaster In 1811 there were said to be 4.500 miles of chartered turn pikes in New I n land and New York. D uring the next tw eiP years the na tioual governm ent spent rnanv m ’lllons of dollars in constructing great lii#ti ways, but the panic of 18117 and the building of railroads and canals put an end to that branch of governm ent work Notice of l^oad Budget Mcet;n$ Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to Chapter 234.

These people have been seen wandering about the pastures, meadows and va cant lots in and adjoining the city, with down cast eyes, ai d actions closely resembling an es caped inmate or a poet in com munion with the Muses. Occasionally the wanderer will drop onto hands and knees and begin an eager plucking of some minute particle fiom among the grass blades, weeds and other hereditaments ot the average pasture. A closer examination will show that the supposed escapeu innia e is in reality an epic re gatherii g the minute collar button appear ing mushrooms, This exiling sport requires intentness of pur pose, coup ed with keen eyesight and a fearless disposition and the result ot an afternoon’s hunting may, when the mushroom is pre pared for the table, amount to four tablespoons!ul of this dain ty, which closely resembles in taste, a fallen dough dumpling. Tne reai enjoyment occurs af ter eating, vyhen U»« epicure may let his or her mind dwell upon the chance of their have eaten a toadstool by mistake. Do You Need a Separator?
