For every one bundred chicks shipped, three hunâ€" dred square inches of floor s#pace should be allowed, and no single compartment should contain more than twentyâ€"fAive chicks. Depth of box should be over four inches, preferâ€" ably five to six. Thg boxes nearly, but not quite, square, appear to carry best. Very narrow and very long containers are being discardod, as they increase inâ€"transit hardships.

Fine cut clover has been exâ€" tensively used by commercial hatcherâ€" ies, but a better practice has now been originated. _ The clover litter was nearly always dusty, and such as the chicks consumed, while bu‘ky, furnished Iittle nourishment. One public school realized $67.75 from its prig and used the money for schocl furniture, in payment on m piano, and in buying war saving stamps. One of the patrons recently said, "At the time we started with the school pig there was only one man in the community who had pure» bred hogs. Now there are six or eight." After purchasing the pig, the next step is to provide for it a small lot and a good dry bed. Grazing crops must be planted in accord with the best practices of animal husâ€" bandry, and here a valuable laboraâ€" tory exercise is afforded in working with field crops. The pupil becomes familiar by actual practice with such crops as rape, rye, oats, wheat, vetch and clovers which are planted for grazing, or for soiling purposes. The idea of saving is emphasized also by having the pupils save all the scraps from lunch, which are generâ€" ally a nuisance around the school yard, and a means of attracting roamâ€" ing dogs. These feeds should be supâ€" plemented by a small amount of grain feeds such as corn, wheatâ€"midâ€" dlings, soybeans, peanutâ€"meal and other good concentrates Much of this can be obtained by contributions from the home, but most of it will have to be bought. In using these feeds the opportunity is offered the pupil for a study in the proper mixâ€" Ing of rations, using popular bulle tins to supplement the work as out» lined in the sgchool lessons. IOF is Arocmandt 2c 4s oo d to see that it is watered and fed on ’duyl when there are no classes. A local breeder can generally be inducâ€" ed to donate a pig. If the pig has to be bought, money is sometimes raised by subscriptions from the puâ€" pils and patrons, or borrowed from a bank and repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the Pig. One school secured its pig by soliciting subscripâ€" tions to a farm paper. The teacher, Miss Bessie Daughtry, found that in addition to interesting her pupils in pork production and practical agriâ€" culture, she also stimulated her pate rons to read more. As mA means of interesting the pupils in animal husbandry, nothing Surpasses the schocl pig in value. This project is as yet only in its inâ€" fancy, and only a few schools have adopted the idea, but those schools that have tried it have found that such a project more than paid for itself in many ways. Generally, the total receipts are net profit, and when hogs are seling as they are now, at from eighteen to twenty cents a pound, it is a very easy matter for a school to make $35 or $40. In pvery community where the school has cared for a pig there is a groater interest in hog production, a much further use of pureâ€"bred animals, and a more cordial and wholeâ€"hearted sufport by the patrons. n planning to undertake this work, no school should have a I7g unless there are pupils living near enough haNlus a i sls â€" 7@arifftry, potting plants, put a piece As a means muslin over the hole in the putting in the bits of rtone which keeps the dru'm e muslic. prevents the e The Pig is a Good Educator
