(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The death rate of swine from all diseases for the year ending March, 101 S, was 42.1 per 1,000, and is the lowest in 35 years, t.ocording to rec ords kept during tlmt period. This unprecedented1; low rate of mortality presents a great contrast with those of earlier periods, particularly with the losses of BM.S per 1,000 in 1SS7, 144 per 1,000 in ISC' 7, and 118.1) per 1,000 in 1014, years marked by severe outbreaks of hog cholera. This is even a remarkable reduction from the nor-, ma! low rate of losses which has re mained slightly above 50 per 1,000 when the disease wa.s least prevalent. The approximate number of hogs on hand January 1, IMS. was 7U574.000. The loss of 42.1 per 1,000 for the year Vnding March. T.HS. therefore repre sented approximately li.OOO.OOO of these animals, equivalent to the consumption of pork and pork products by the en tire population of the United States for 1917 for 25 days. These recent losses should he com pared with that of 7,000,000 hogs in 1014, which curtailed production to the extent of the national consumption for that year for o7 days. The marked reduction in the losses of swine in 101S over preceding periods, in view of the fact that 00 per cent of these losses are due to hog cholera, indicates clearly the benefit from the combined efforts of state and federal agencies in protecting the farmers against the ravages of this exceedingly fatal disease. GIVE YOUNG PIGS ATTENTION Care Given at Farrowing Time Has Important Bearing on Food Sup ply of Nation. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The farrowing house or pen should be comfortably warm, well ventilated, and well lighted. Above all else, it should be well bedded. Do not allow any circulation of air under the floor. Too many hog growers make the mis take of bedding too lightly. Heavy bedding naturally makes the sow com fortable and warm conditions neces sary if she is to be quiet. Use wheat or rye straw. Wild hay is good, as is millet. Do not use oat straw unless there is absolutely nothing else at hand. Do not confine the sow in her far rowing pen more than 4S hours before farrowing time If it is possible to avoid doing so. Reduce the heavy feed to some extent, probah'y about half, for that length of time. Under uo circumstances should the sow have any feed whatever for 24 hours after farrowing. She must, how ever, have plenty of water at frequent intervals. This water must not be icy cold that drawn directly from the well is about the right temperature. Commence after 24 hours feeding light ly, increasing the feed gradually for probably a week or ten days, when she way be gotten onto full feed, condi tioned on the size of the litter and the milking qualities of the sow. A good herdsman, for the first week at least after farrowing, will look the pigs over carefully before each feed ing. If any indications of scours ap pear, the sow's feed should be reduced immediately or possibly cut out entire- ii :::!!. ''' t, i i h I -: ::' i i M i ! t Farrowing Pen With Fenders Will Save Many Little Porkers From Be ing Crushed. ly. A heavy feed of rich slop given when scours begin to show up possi bly may kill the entire litter. A little extra care for these few days is abso lutely necessary. When the piss are from four or live to ten days old, be on the lookout for thumps. The best-looking fat little pig is the one to go first every time. An almost certain indication is a little roll of fat around the neck. While there is no known cure for thumps, the trouble is quite easily prevented. Plenty of exercise for the pigs is the answer. In cold, stormy weather out-of-door exercise is impossible, but if a central farrowing house with an alley way, is used, gt the little fat fellows into the alley and put in about ten or fifteen minutes three or four times a day chasing them with a buggy whip, until they are pretty well tired out. If this is impossible, try one or two of the little pigs at a tim in a large bar rel or hogshead, placed by the farrow ing pen. The pigs wi'.l hear the old sow making a fuss and in running around the barrel hunting for a corner to climb out, generally will take the ex ercise necessary to ward off thumps. A considerable part of the battle is won tf the litter gets past the first ten days or so with a good start. Best of Dairy Feed. White clover Is rlghly esteemed and makes the best of dairy ie&. Our Part in Feeding tlie Nation (Special Information Sewice, United States Department of Agriculture.) MAKE YOUR OWN GRAPE JUICE. The "Makin's" for Grape Juice PATRIOTIC DRINK OF UNCLE SAM'S it Saves Surplus Fruit, Takes No Sugar and It Is Good for Everyone. CRAPE JUICE IS WHOLESOME One of the Very Best Soft Drinks for Your Family and Friends It Will Keep Indefinitely if Not Exposed to the Air. In the face of the sugar shortage the small grape arbor takes on a yew light. Little sugar for jellies and Jams will make it necessary to turn most of the surplus grapes into some other channel. The patriotic grower will look into the possibilities of home made grape juice, which is made with out sugar, and which is so wholesome used as a beverage or in desserts fit one kind and another. Only clean, sound, well ripened, but not overripe, grapes should be used. These may be crushed and pressed either by hand or in an ordinary cider mill. If a light-colored juice is der sired, the crushed grapes are put in a clean, well-washed cloth sack and either hung up and twisted or grasped by two persons, one at either end, and twisted until the greater part of the juice is expressed. Then, in a double boiler or its equivalent, such as a large stone jar placed in a pan of hot water, so that the juice does not come in direct contact with the lire, the juice is gradually heated to a temperature of 180 to -00 degrees F. The temperature should never be al lowed to go above 'J(H) degrees V. Heat to Steaming Point. It is best to use a 1 liennoiuoter ; if none is available, however, the juice may be heated until it steams, but it should not be allowed to boil. It should be poured immediately into a glass or enameled vessel and allowed to settle for '-'4 hours then the juice ! should be drained from the sediment , and run through several thicknesses of clean flannel or through a conic : idler made' from woolen cloth or felt ! and fixed to a hoop of iron, so that it can be suspended wherever necessary, i The juice is then poured into clean bottles, space being left at the top for ; the liquid to expand when heated. A good home substitute for a com I mercial pasteurizer is an ordinary ; wash boiler with a thin hoard fitted over the bottom on which the filled bottles are set. Ordinary glass fruit jars serve the same purpose equally I well. The boiler should be tilled with water to within an inch or so of the tops of the bottles and heated until the water begins to simmer. The bot tles should then he taken out and sealed or corked irnmediately.Only new corks that have just been soaked for about thirty minutes In warm water at a temperature of about 140 degrees F. should be used. It is well to take the further precaution of sealing the corks with paraflin or sealing wax to prevent the entrance of mold germs. To Make Red Juice. When red juice is desired, the crushed grapes should first be heated to a temperature of not more than 200 degrees F.. then strained through a clean cloth or drip bag. no pressure being inert, and set away to cool and settle. The remaining procedure Is the same for the red as for the light colored juice. Many people do not even take the trouble to let the juice settle aft r It $rw3r J? S Hang Heavy on Many Vines. is strained, simply reheating and seal ing the vessels and setting them away in an upright position in a cool place where they will be undisturbed. If bottles are used, the corks should be sterilized and the necks of the bottles sealed with sealing wax. The juice settles, and when desired for use the clear liquid is poured off the sediment. Any person familiar with the process of canning fruit can put up grape juice, for the principles involved are the same. Care should be taken not to sterilize the juice at a temperature higher than 19o degrees F., or the finished product will have a scorched taste. The bottles or jars should not be so large that when they are opened the juice will spoil before it can be used. Unfermented grape juice, properly made and bottled, will keep Indefinite ly If not exposed to the atmosphere or to infection from mold germs. When a bottle is once opened, however, the contents, like canned goods generally, should be used as soon as possible. Unfermented juice may be made not only from all varieties of grapes, but also from some other fruits, such as apples, pears and cherries. MUSCADINE GRAPES At present, when food con servation and food economy are being so much emphasized, the home utilization of Muscadine grnpes is particularly appropri ate. In the past, instead of being utilized the surplus fruit has been allowed to go to waste, chiefly because of a general lack of knowledge of ways to use it and because the high quality and cheapness of the products have not been realized. For directions for preparing a large number of Muscadine grape products, write to the United States department of agriculture for Farmers' Bulle tin sr.;). SJto Without Food We Fail. If we fail in food production, all the armies that can be assembled and all the war material that may be manu factured will be of no avail. If we permit England, France, Italy, and Belgium to succumb, the final con test will be ours alone. It may take years, and it will take many lives and much treasure, but without victory treasure is trash and life is bondage. We have more resources than the central powers can command; we can endure for unnumbered years and, therefore, we will win or we will drag the German beast with us in death to the judgment bar of God. I am sorry for the man who gets more out of the war than he puts into it, for the scorn of broken-hearted women, orphaned children, crippled soldiers and impoverished millions throughout half the earth will make him wish he had never been horn. We are fighting to prevent one na tion from exploiting other nations. Meanwhile, we must see to it that one man does not exploit other men. The primal needs of man are food, raiment and shelter; all else is luxury and. indulgence. The force which pro duces food and raiment Is agriculture, and In a true relation all the activ ities of commerce are Its ministers or servants. The most vital of occupations, agri culture, in its rewards and environ ments Is the least attractive.
