fl HOG RAISING FOR PROFITS % | Eme-- a | Small Farmer Is Advised To Take Up Hog Raising On A | A Profitable Side Small Scale As Line. v " "Vim" in Toronto Weekly Sun. Meeting a friend a few days ago he informed me of the scarcity of young pigs in this locality, He wish- od to buy, but could get none nearer than seven miles, and the price was $8 a pair. I asked the 'cause and he "told me he considered that there had been great loss in the spring litters, and that many 6 hogs had become crippled by rheumatism, Be this as it may, I have noticed a growing seareity in the number of hogs rais- ed year by year. Time was when young pigs could be bought for $1 each, and an extra one thrown in for good luck, but now the good luck comeés in getting a chance to buy at all. I see that in 1912 we raised 42,300 hogs less than in thie previous year. We naturally ask for the cause. It cannot be that there is no money in hogs or that farmers are &o rich that they do not have to ratse them. Doubtless, there are several causes at work, but the principal cause is that farmers have so much to do and look afier, and that brooding sows are such a nuisance unless penned up, that the majerity of farmers pre- fer tb buy instead of breeding. The result Is that there are not enough raised to meet 'the demand. The principal cause of the loss in spring litters is the lack of exercise for the sows, and the lack of a suit- able place to take exercise. The yard with colts and cattle where they are kicked or hooked is no place for breeding stock; nor is a close pen in * a cold outside building, or a damp warm stall in a basement stable. These conditions are away from na- ture, and consequently things go wrong. Thése obstacles do not exist in the case of fall litters, hence the greater success. It scarcely pays to keep a sow to raise one litter a year, but it pays splendidly to raise two. The second litter may be said to be all profit, placing the average litter at eight and valued at from $3 to $4 each. I have been writing of late with the object in view of assisting those on small or poor farms with advice gained from experience, and the ob- "ject of this article is to point to these farmers that there is a branch of farming that ought to' be a money- maker. For reasons already given the majority of farmers would rather buy than breed, if the pigs could be Hand it" will pay 'tg buy $8 a pair) so that none need 1 'purchaser could be found. No expensive buildings are required. It is only required that they shall be wind proof, dry and well lighted. For summer a small .pasture of an acre or two is needed, in winter an open shed or roomy box stall, where they can be fed their grain ration scattered in chaff or straw. This "compels them to take exercise when they otherwise would not. 1 would say here that the hog is the most unjustly maligned of all animals. The name is synonymous with all that is filthy, debased and obstinate. The truth is, he is clean- Jy and intelligent, and responds readily to kind treatment. He is no more brutish than some of his tra- ducers. The great secret of success in rais- ing hogs is kindness. Give them clean quarters. They prefer cleanli- ness and will not eat filth. Keep them clear of vermin and they will not wallow in mud. In my 'teens I had charge of over twenty brood sows and between one and two hun- dred store and fattening hogs for three years, and so I have had some experience. 1 have been feeding and raising them up to a few yedrs ago, when I ceased to breed, as I prefer- red to buy my supply. There is a fine opening for small farmers to supply the demand, which is more likely to increase than di- minish. I would say, begin by pur- chasing a sow, the offspring of a good breeder. This rule is import- ant in the choice of a male, also. There are three excellent breeds to choose from, the Yorkshires, Tam- worths and Berkshires. There is not much to choose from between these In ---------- Yor'd Yorkshires The and if different breeds. The are docile and good feeders. Tamworths give lifrge litters given plenty of feed will make a large weight In a short thine. The Berkshires will probably uniake the most. pork onda given quantity of feed than cither of the other two. The hog eats all kinds of food and requires a variety amd more vege etable than grain to keep in perfect health. In winter and spring csondi- tions are unfavorable to health, hence the mortality in spring litters Breeding sows should be given boiled potatoes, raw mangels or sugar beet with a small portion of meal, and for theh evening meal a pint of peas or corn in addition te iheir other feed. They most have dry quarters ia whieh 10 feed and sleep. A damp pen is death to pigs it kept confined in them. They must also have fresh air and daily cxXereige.» A week hd fore parturition they cglionld be pat at night into a clean, sta horse stable if possi , Where it will be faicly warm, and then turned aut during the day to the usual feeding pen ) We should eiltivate the confi- dence and affection of all kinds ef stock to get the best results. It seems idiotic to talk to stdek; but the best stockmen usually da A cheery word and a pat and rub assures them that you are their friend. Then when the eritical time comes you can enter the pen without exditing any fear or dis- turbance; This is not a trivial mats ter. Thousands of dollars are lest eeach spring by sheer neglect." Far- mers watch their mares to save the colt, but leave the sow to take chances. Little more needs to be done, than to be on hand and see that the wee ones get to the source of life. It is only necessary to keep them from being disturbed and to feed the sow moderately with rather laxative food. Raiging young pigs for sale is very ginning with one or two sows, and suitable for a small farmer by be- learning by experience to overcome drawbacks. The number may be in creased to meet the demand. At any- thing like the present prices if all were not sold, they could be fattens ed and sold at a good profit, even if all the feed had to be bought. In conclusion 1 would say to the small farmer, "if you .are in it be- gin breeding hogs, and if you take the right way you are sure to suc- ceed!" Some Uses of Sugar In an article on the various uses to which sugar is applied-in the in- dustries, the Lancet accounts for many of its applications by the fact that it is a cheap carbohydrate con- taining a large proportion of carbon, and that it has properties analogous to those of the acids in forming de- finite and soluble compounds with somé bases. Old-fashioned blacking containing sugar is regarded by many people as superior in its properties of polishing and preserving leather to the modern wax and fluid polishes. Sugar finds extended application in the printing industry entering into the composition of, printers' ink and printers' rollers are made of a mix- ture of glue and giycerin or sugar. As a: cheap substitute for glycerine or alcohol, it enters into the composi- tion of transparent soaps, and a com- bination with nitric acid yields a series of explosives in leather manufacture it is said to be used te remove the lime "used as a scourer of the hides," but as regards other purposes for which it is used in the leather industry the article is dis- creethy silent.

KEPHALDOL Oures Colds and La Grippe in Half a Day Thank the famous Herr Doctor Stohr, of Vienna, Austria, for allow- ing his personal prescription for re- Heving pain, to be sold in Canada The Doctor has used "Kephaldol" in thousands of cases both im private practice -and in his hospital clinics. He has proved to the delight of the medical profession, that attacks of La Grippe and Colds could be ward- ed off and broken up in 12 hours, by using "Kephaldol" at the first sneeze or shdden chill. Two or three "Kep- aaldol" tablets at bedtime and two the first thing in the morning, will usually make a complete cure, al- though in very severe cases, it may be necessary to continue the treat- ment for a short timé, taking one "Kephaldol" tablet every three hours. "Kephaldol" has the pleas- ant property of relieving all the dis- tressing symptoms of a "bad cold" -- clearing the head--stopping the throbbing headaches--easing the pain in the back and limbs--and en- abling one to eat and sleep in com- fort. ! ! Keep "Kephaldol" in the house, ready to take at the first sign of a cold. It your druggist should not have the 50c tubes of these tablets, write Kephaldo!

Smart Gave a § of the Good Work Conducted Kingston During the Winter There is Still Need of Co-opera- tion in Work. At the meeting of the Associated E. Smart, the indpector, gave an in- teresting account of the work carried on during the winter. The report is as follows: "It Is with a great deal of relief that at this meeting, I am to give you a summary of this winter's work, in connection with the Associated Charities of this city. The faithful, who in times past, undertook the re- lief work, give us their assurance that this winter has been of a sever- er nature, and the demand for relief work has been much greater than in times past. Your secretary belicyes that it is better to know the saddeth truth than to be blinded by our mer- riest lie," and in consequence of this, has stated faets which to the best of my knowledge have heen facts. I believe in that faith in God and man which believes that, with the recognition of the evils of man- kind, comes the cure--that poverty like tubedculosis, can be cured, and that with careful and proper handl- ing, theycriminal can become a use- ful citizen. This is the second year that I have accepted the opportuni- ties and responsibilities of a charit- able and social stewardship in this community. As to the measure in which that stewardship has respond- ed to its possibilities and taken charge of its opportunities you are left to judge. I think that in these times we have the wrong impression of the term 'charity,' times defined as 'giving material re lief to the poor.' This definition leaves out 'the greatest of all gifts that anyone can give, which f per- sonal service. Will material relief alone heal the sick, teach the unedu- cated, bring back a deserting father, cure delinquency, make € home from a hovel, give a child a square deal, or rightly use the ignorant and oppress- ed? Will it give justice to a young and trusting girl, who hds been cruel- ly wronged? Will material relief straighten out domestic relations, awaken manhood and motherhood to their proper sense of responsibili- ties? The secret of true charity is personal service, kind, determined, yet sympathetic. cause of evil, and see if the future dan' tened. If it is just a case of giving, you will always find receivers. Now what have the Asso- ciated Charities done this winter? The Victorian Order of Nurses, the St. Vincent de' Paul society, the City Poor Relief have worked together this winter with the best harmony and success. The (City Poor Relief has spent in fuel ahd provisions on the cases reported to them by us the magnificent sum of $5614.10. A com- mittee of ladies appointed to see to the distribution of clothing, namely, Miss Richmond and Miss Ross, of Chalmers church, and Miss Going, of St. George's cathedral, report the distribution of clothing to one hun- dred and twelve families, and I would draw your attention to the fact that in every case, there has been the need, and that in nearly every case, a visit to the home has been made.' I say this because the critics are always with us, and there are some citizens who are quite ready to cast refléctions on the good that is being done, but they are even more anxious to make every excuse, so as not to help their fellow citizens. Your secretary has spent during the year for the following:-- ' Purchased thirty-three meals for worthy transients and given five beds; purchased groceries to the ex- tent of $38.88; purchased nineteen pairs of shoes, five pairs of stock- ings and four pairs of mitts, costing $30.30; paid two rents, in special cases, of ten dollars, and six quarter tons coal, $12.60; distributed from office on Brock street, bread, milk tickets and clothing to thirty-one persons.
