ANDREW BOSS WILL REMAIN AT THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE Minneapolis, Dec. 17.—Andrew] Boss, professor of agronomy and farm’ :management in the college of agri- culture, has declined .an offer from ‘the division of plant industry of the | United States department of agricul- i ture to take charge of a plant breed- [ing station being established at Man- dan, N. D. It is understood that the {government offered Professor Boss; |nearly $1,000 more than he is receiv- ;ihg here with a residence and main- tenance thrown in. However, he said | i vesterday that he considered his work[ at the Minnesota institution and the! ifut\n'e it offered more desirable than jthe Mandan opportunity. : W. M. Hays, assistant secretary of 'agriculture, wnen a professor at the ' Minnesota school, h ad worked with ;Mr. Boss in plant breeding re- {searches. It is believed that Mr. 'Hays was responsible for the present offer. Not long ago Dr. E. M. Freeman, acting dean of the college of agricul- i ture, was offered the position of chief Farm value, Dec. 1, pe‘.-}patholugist at News Gardens, Eng- iland, at a large increase of salary. ! The reegnts here met this increase in part and Dr. Freeman was persuaded \to stay by the Minnesota institution. | BAD AFFAIR AT CAMP 10.

Y WINTERING BREEDING SWINE. No question connected with the management of swine'has a more di- rect bearing on profits t_han» the care and management of breeding ani- mals during the cold months. Breed- ing sows should be given the same care as any other breeding animals. I have always found that it paid to give brood sows as good care as'I give dairy cows. The brood sow should have a dry nest and a sleeping place that is warm and free¢ from drafts and dampness. Whenever the weath- er is favorable she should be turned out to exercise, for no breeding ani- mal can bring good, healthy, vigorous progeny unless she has an abundance of exercise and pure air. Give the Boar a Good Run. The breeding boar should have a ‘house and yard by himself away from the rest of the herd. He should be given plenty of wholesome, nourish- ing food to enable him to maintain a | good, vigorous condition and not take on too much fat. Home-grown grain feeds supplemented with wheat mid- dlings and a little oil meal, make an excellent ration. Whenever possible cut clover or alfalfa should be added to supply bulk and succulence. If these are not at hand, roots shoujd be fed at least two or three times a week. Once a day would be better. The breeding sow should be given the season and the ground was about ! == THAT HE CAN BEHEAD A CAT AND STILL WEEP \T ALWE - T CAME DoWN STARS YD FELL You— warm feed during the winter. Her food should be nitrogenous in char- acter, ‘since too much concentrated heat—'producing foods are sure to cause trouble at farrowing time. The sow that is in a feverish and heated con- dition at farrowing time will: cause trouble, and it will be fortunate in-| deed if she raises any of her pigs. I have found.nothing better than cut clover or alfalfa hay cut fine, steamed or soaked in hot water and mixed with wheat middlings, ground oats and corn meal. I feed this mix- ture in the form of a thick slop twice a day. The cut clover and alfalfa} will supply both bulk and succulence! and keep the bowels in the good con- dition.—Farm and Home. i ; i i i 1 | | | Scaring Away Chicken Thieves. | We have not been molested by chicken thieves since we gave over‘[ the floor space of our henhouse to| Pekin ducks. They make noise enough to wake us up if anyone goes near the henhouse at night. We raise the Pekins because they lay about 200 eggs a year, and to our way of thinking, their eggs are not as strong | as the Indian Runners’. When fat they weigh about gight pounds each im the fall. well kept in a park with water in a! trough and a pint of erushed oyster shell placed in the water each morn- ing. They also give two pickings of nice white feathers, thus paying for their keep.—Farm and Home. “They say he’s very cautions.” “Cautious?

The solan geese are so fond of cok lecting materials for their nests that they do not. desist from the habit even when they are about to abandonm their nests for the winter migration.
