'Winning the War .
Thls'ls the. story ohow one farmer,
hampered by poor Help and a difficult
labor situation, tied his business In
with jwar needs and won out. Milk
ing cows and pitching hay for so many
dollars a month are dull jobs, but
milking cows and pitching hay to whx
the war are altogether different pro
positions. He .is the owner of a dairy farm not
many miles from a large city and from
several army cantonments. His dairy
supplies milk for thB army. He has
found bis output continually hampered
by the "turnover" ot his labor. ,
Many agricultural laborers are in
the habit of. shifting their Jobs. Some
do not like to stay long In one .place.
Others may work a few months and
then go to the city, spend what they
have learned, and look for work some- j
whero 'else. All these considerations
make; for a waste of time at "critical
hours, a waste In breaking in new
men,and a big waste in lack of inter
est in the work.
It struck thl3 young farmer that it
"would be good business ror himself
and the country if he could minimise
this loss.
-Talking Machine Started It
One hot evening, not many months
ago, while the' men were lounging un
der the trees, the owner of the farm
got hi3 talking machine out on the
porch and fed ft "Over There" and
"Good Bye, Broadway; Hello France!"
Questions followed and' presently the
farmer .found himself- talking to his
men about tha war. , He began to tell
them of the western front and the dif
ference between the Hindenburg and
the Foch method-of attack. The men
seldom read newspapers, so he con
ceived the idea of a bulletin board
Bews poster. Upon it he parted type
written abstracts of the day's war and
sporting news, the happenings -of the
farm, and short editorials having to do
with both local and patriotic subjects.
Once a week now he holds his open
air forum. Sometimes he talks to the
men himself. The milk from the farm
goes to engineers and to marines at
their respective camps. It is a vital
food, especially In the hospital. He
drills into his force this fact that if
a man cannot get into a uniform him
self he can light the Hun by feeding
the men who can.
One of tha farm workers had been
an aviator who was injured in service.
He told the farm family at weekly
meetings about 'hedge hops" and
"spiral dips." A Canadian from one
of tho camps came down and related
his experiences at the front. Men
from other war "work tell tho story of
what they are trying to do.
Thrift Stamps as Bonus.
Then the farm owner began to ex
periment still farther; At the end of
the month hp turned over to each man
over and above his wages a $5 war
savings stamp as his part of the farm
profits. Ho exp'alned that only by
closo cooper tlon could the venturo
to made a success. He got the dairy
Inspector to pick tho best kept sec
tions of the barn and gave additional
prizes to the men in charge of them.
He offered premiums for Ideas show
ing how the work could bo done bet
ter or in less time.
The men woke up to an interest in
the farm, Most of them had' lived
from hand to mouth all their lives.
They began to invest in -war savings
stamps. Some of them started sav
ings ' accounts. They crowded around
each new bulletin to seo what tho
allies' were doing in tho big battlp of
northern Franco.
Tho result" is' amazing. The farm
activities have speeded up to war-time
efficiency. Instead .of chucktag" their
Jobs nt the end of a mouth' or two tho
aen-feel JtnWjrWjrrire" a part' of "the
arm family; They sco thai no part
cf tho farm work can bo ncgloctod
without dragging on tho whole.
Whether a man raises feed or milk
ows or gets iho milk to mnrkot, ho
cannot got laty without hamlfcnpplng

only tho most destrablo sows for per

cording to tho specialists ot tho United i
Stntos Department ot Agriculture who
are striving to effect maximum pork
production under . economical moth
dds.
Tho methods of many hog ratsors, ,
they point out. are out ot Joint wtu

farmers waste valuable tlmo perhaps
too late In trying to cure hog ail

Tho Federal Department advises1
that all breeders should exorciso con
scientious and painstaking care in tho
selection ot sows tor permanent main
tenance in the breeding herd. Tho
animals should be of good length, full
depth, showing plenty of vitality as
well as tho inclination to take suffi
cient exercise. Th,ey should not bo
skimped on starvation rations or halt
feeds but rather should receive a full
fattening allowanco which, broadly in
terpreted, means that tho porkers
should receive about all that they will
eat with respect to" economical meth
ods of pork production.
Green Foods Essential.
It is highly desirable that tho sows
to be bred in-the fall should, havo ac
cess to green forage crops as long as
any such materials are available. Tho
sow- realizes Immeasurable benefit
from rustling about for the bulk of her
feed. The method insures to tho fe
male porker tbo exercise necessary
to maintain her Jn the condition favor
ing good litters of pigs. As on man)
hog farms relatively littlo green feed
Is available during tho plg-rajslng
periods, It Is imperative that tho !ndl-
vidual farmer provide.plenty of food.t
in balanced
mixture. In
addition to
maklnc It necosaarv for thn sows tn I
exercise in the procuring of this food.
Many successful farmers maintain
, .rZ '
mer !
feed their brood sows all the
Com i
mat tno animals will eat. Some fal-
lacy may be apparent In this state-1
ment unless tho reader Is thoroughly 1
familiar with tho conditions! under
which this plentiful use of grain Is
practiced, Tho general plan ot feed
ing corn is to scatter it in the ear. over
the fields where, tho. sows may hustle,
after it It Is hard work to scoop corn
from a wagon which is driven through
the field. A much easier and more
practlcal plan is to fill the manure leased men for service by undertaking
spreader with e3r corn and to adjust their work. To the Y. W. C. A., 'the
the machine so that tho grain will be ! best big sister In the world,' has been
well scattered. This process possibly ', committed by the government nnd mill
may look wasteful, especially Jn view authorlt,es tue serious rcspon.

Use of Alfalfa.
' - . ... f uuvtttUilU(l Ul
Careful test by the Department of,
Agriculture indicates tho value of'
grinding alfalfa hay, soaking it for 24
hours in barrels containing hot water,
adding a little salt, and possibly otto
half bushel or more of shorts to a bar
rel of feed and giving tho mixture to
the sows In the form of a thick slop.
It is suggested that tho preferable
time for feeding this slop Is tho morn
Ing, so that during tho balance of the
day tho animals can rusflo about for
corn.' Good alfalfa hay should also
bo available fn convenient racks so
that tho sows1 can eat this roughage
as they pleaso,
Ono of the most important matters,
and undoubtedly tthq ono which Js
most commonly neglected ,ln Iho pro
