At AnyDrug Stor* Cuticura Soap Ideal For Baby's Skin SMART FROCK FOR THE BUSINESS GIRL. In the drama of fashions, the part at the one-piece frock has grown in Importance for three seasons. It made a triumphant entry this fall and has held the center of the stage over since. The advent of the \bustle dress\ (which hardly deserved its name), and the furore for velvet portends a bril- liant finish for this season of a style that is sure to reappear in the spring. The bustle dress is given Us name because it i s caught up in drapery be- low the waistline at the back and merely suggests the bustle of other years. It is prettiest in velvet or heavy satin or crisp taffeta; best of all velvet. Ill the latest models skirts are narrow and drawn back from the front by the back draping. They have long, close-fitting sleeves and high necks. One-piece frocks of serge and other durable cloths have proven themselves the smartest sort of frocks for busi- ness women. This term includes about everyone these days when it is un- thinkable that any well woman should be idle. The frock of serge shown In the picture is enough to reconcile the most Inconsequent of Idlers to a business llle. Consider its good points and re- member how entirely practical It is. In addition to being good looking it is new and original. The sleeves are iet on to an underbodice and finished on the forearm with neat straps of the material. The ovevbodice f asrens over a separate vestee of washable white satin, which may be varied with ves- tees of other materials by way of change. A wide fold, instead of revers, on the bodice is placed high enough at the back to provide an unusually be- coming neck finish, and n big trench vogue;—a special \January Hat\—to tie worn north or south, but with a whis- per of spring In their designing. They are not too summerlike, but there is no hint of winter about them. Three of these captivating mpdels are shown in the group above. They place themselves at a glance—hats of the highest class that need not to ex- cuse themselves for appearing In the depth of winter. At the center of the group the large'picturesque black hat Is made of panne velvet and malines. All Its story is told by these two mate- rials for its finish is merely n collar of the velvet with a how at the back. One can Imagine It nt the afternoon concert or the bridge pnrty in the heart of the northern winter, or worn as a dinner or afternoon bat under southern skies, •with equal satisfac- tion. At the left a sninll hat is shown made of fringed strips of black taf- feta. These strips lire braided or woven in and out to form the body of tiie hat. Talteta proves itself suffi- cient for the completion of this model which is finished at the front with a bow of the sill:, made of strips fringed along each edge. At the right a hat of deep blue satin is made with rows of blue brnld stitch- ed on the upper brim and crown. T^e blue Is vivid, somewhat lighter than sapphire, and makes just the right background for the odd Japanese leaves and berries that form a -wreath about the crown. It Is hard to describe anything so unlike the usual millinery flowers. The colors are odd, grayish green and yellows and white, Only the Japs know what those queer leaves are made of and after they have ex- M CAN'T GUT OUT KK but you can clean them off promptly with ABSORBINE ** TRADE MARK REG.U.S.PAT'OfF, and you work the horse came time.

It Is of the greatest importance in producing pigs for the market that: they gain in weight as rapidly as pos-' elble. The modern hog is a highly spe- cialized and efficient machine for the conversion of grain and roughage into edible meat; but to obtain the great- est efficiency, to make the most pork from a given amount of feed, to make, the best pork, and t o make that pork most economically the machine must be kept running to capacity from birth to the time of marketing. Nothing Is more important than this factor. The question of breeding, the kind of feeds fed, and the proportion of ,the pro- tein to the fattening elements in the ration are all important and are all means t o the same end, but if the greatest profit is t o be returned to the. feeder his pigs must make maximum gains at all times. Supplement t o Sow's Milk. • The first opportunity to force the pigs comes when they are a few weeks old. Up to this time they have been living solely on their dam's milk; in fact there is no successful substitute, as has been demonstrated by repeated failure to raise newly born pigs on cow's milk. The milk of the sow is' much richer in protein, fat, and ash than is cow's milk, and the latter makes such a poor substitute that pigs under two weeks of age usually die of digestive troubles following its exclu- sive use. After growing for' three weeks the young pigs begin to have an appetite for some feed to supplement the sow's milk, and they should be feci, for unless they are the strain on the sow -will be a very serious one. The pigs will eat from the sow's trough, especially If sho i s being fed on thin, sloppy feeds. A pen should be arranged adjoining that of the dam and sepa- rated from it by a partition with suf- ficient room'at the bottom to allow the pigs to ran under. In the inclos- ure t o b e used by the little pigs place u low shallow trough to contain their skim milk or mash. The best feeds for pigs of this age are dairy by-products, such as skim milk. These, mixed with mill feeds, as middlings, shorts, and even a cheap grade of flour, or with a meal of ground oats from which the hulls have been removed, give excellent satisfac- tion. Some feeders use the self-feeder at this time, placing it inside a creep that will admit the pigs to their grain nt al l times. This is best adapted for pigs after six weeks old, where there Is a lack of skim milk and they must be prepared for the period following weaning without this feed. Castration. Pigs should be castrated while they nre young; the best time is between six and eight weeks of age, before weaning. At this age there is less shock t o the pig and possibly less check In growth. If it is still suckling its dam, the chances are that it will be more thrifty and in better condition than when the operation is performed Immediately after weaning. A pig six, seven or eight weeks old is small enough to be handled conveniently, und the testicles are large enough to render the operation quite simple. For detailed information on this subject consult Farmers' Bulletin 780, \Cas- tration of Young Pigs.\ , Weaning. Breeders differ Widely as to the age for weaning. The majority wean at six to ten weeks, with a considerable number at twelve weeks; some wean later than twelve weeks and a few ear- lier than six weeks. There should be no hurry about it; eight weeks is young enough if skim milk is avail- able* Of course, the size and develop- ment of the pigs have a great deal to do with the weaning age. If skim milk is not obtainable, it i s better to let them nurse the sow until ten v/eeks old. The weaning should be brought about directly, and In all cases be complete aud decisive. The pigs should be placed apart from the sows in quar- ters secure enough to prevent com- munication. If the sow is still milk- ing considerably, It Is best to milk her dry by hand rather, than to return the pigs to her. The pigs will be no bet- ter off and the sow infinitely worse than if weaning is brought about de- cisively, i Weaning Ration. Skim milk and corn or skim milk and shorts, fed in the proportion of three to one, make an excellent ration for weanlngs. If skim milk is not available, a mixture of five parts corn meal, four parts middlings and one part tankage fed as thin slop is very good. Good, succulent pasture is al- ways in order. It will aid wonderfully In putting growth on'the young pigs, and the grain expense will be less- ened. After the pigs have been weaned \ and are eating well the most difficult part of their care is over. The feeding and management from then on will depend much upon whether they are to be kept for breeding or fattened for the market. Soon after weaning it is best to. separate those animals Which are kept for breeding purposes from the fattening stock. The 'Fattening Stock. The stocl^ selected for fattening ts. fed in two periods—first, the growing period, from weaning until approxi- mately six weeks to two months of the marketing date; and, second, the fin- ishing period,'from that time up t o marketing. During the first or grow- ing period the ration is much the same as that given to the breeding stock— that is, all of the nutritious pasture they need but with a heavier grain ra- tion of slightly .wider nutritive ratio. The object is to grow a pig with plenty of size and scale and one that will fatten quickly and economically. Some feeders use the self-feeder at this pe- riod and obtain excellent results, giv- ing the pigs free access to such feeds as corn, mill feeds, and tankage while on pasture. The practice tends to shorten the feeding period and pro- duces pork with slightly less grain per unit of gain. Under these conditions pigs do not neglect their forage but really make more economical use of it than when the grain is limited. In feeding a limited grain ration on pas- ture more success has been attained by giving an amount equal to three per cent of the body weight than \\jhen led in lesser amounts. The most rapid but,also the most ex- pensive gains in the pig's life comes (luring the finishing period. During these last few weeks before slaughter the animal is given all the feed he will consume with relish. Much more corn and less protein concentrates are fed during this period, a representative ra- tion being composed of ten pounds of corn to one pound of tankage. ,The change in rations must be gradual and the increase in feed not too rapid; otherwise the .animal is apt to \go off feed,\ or lose his appetite. Pastures are very valuable at this time, espe- cially those composed of feeds high in protein, for they furnish a cheap source of nitrogen and keep the P'S toned up and his appetite keen. A hog will consume a three and one-half to four per cent grain ration at this time, depending, of course, on the character of the feed and the weight of the hog, a larger hog eating less in proportion to his weight than a smaller bne. The self-feeder was pri- marily devised to 'finish the hog at this time and serves its purpose in excel- lent fashion. Slightly more rapid and economical gains are made by its use than can be obtained by the best of hand feeding. WASTE IN HOLDING HOGS IN LOCAL PENS Practice of Purchasing Animals __ih Small Lots and Keeping in Yards Is Wasteful. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A loss of live weight of hogs and waste of feed result from the practice of purchasing local hogs in small lots and holding them in local stockyards until a carload shipment is collected; according to specialists of the United States bureau of markets. They point out that at this and other seasons when runs are light, it often takes local buyers four or five days 1 to assem-' ble enough small lots lo r a carloa'd. As facilities for feed and watering are Inferior in small yards, the hogs make no further gains on their feed and oft- en suffer actual loss of live weight. Local buyers, therefore, would do well to specify a certain, day for the deliv- ery of lots from the various farms and load and ship without holding. Farm- ers .also could club together to make up co-operative carload shipments on regular week days, thus saving the margin lost in individual small-lot sell- ing. PROTECT OUTLET OF DRAINS Coarse Wire Screen Will Keep Small Animals From Entering; and Es- tablishing Homes. Thfc outlets of tile drains should be protected to prevent small animals from entering, them. Such places ape. often selected for homes, and rubbish is carried In for nests. A coarse wire screen will keep pests out without hin- dering the free passage of water. SAYS FARM FENCES MUST GO * Take Up Much Ground That Might Be Devoted to Agriculture, Is Writer's Claim.
