The Sow That Is to Farrow 
K eep the sow that is to farrow out 
of the fattening pen. Corn is not 
the, best ration for the brood sow. She 
may get fat, but her offspring are liable 
to be weak and she is apt to overlay 
them at farrowing time. A fat sow is 
generally lazy and inactive, so when 
she overlays a pig and it squeals she 
will be too lifeless to get up and re¬ 
lease it. 
What the sow needs is a very small 
ration of corn and plenty of slops and 
green food. A small grass lot is an 
ideal place for a brood sow. She gets 
plenty of green foods and catches the 
slops from the kitchen. I like to mix 
some bran and shorts with her slop. 
The sow that is about to farrow 
should be kept exclusively to herself 
night and day. Other hogs are liable 
to overlay and injure her on cold 
nights. If a horse, mule or cow is al¬ 
lowed in her run, she may be kicked 
or tramped upon and severely injured. 
She also needs a good shelter even in 
the summer time. She needs protec¬ 
tion from the hot sun, the chilling rains 
or the pelting hail that may fall. A 
farrowing house will afford her the 
shelter she needs. An improvised one 
may be made of boards and covered 
with straw if nothing better can be 
afforded. 
She also needs a good bedding of 
leaves or straw that will be a good 
protection for her young when nights 
are damj) and cold. 
Another point, the sow that is near¬ 
ing, farrowing time should not be al¬ 
lowed to drag herself over high places. 
Get all rails or boards out of her way 
so that she may have easy access to her 
sleeping quarters. Then she will not 
bruise herself or run any risk of a 
miscarriage. 
■ After the sow has farrowed, she need 
not be fed until she appears hungry. 
Heavy feeding at farrowing time is 
liable to produce fever and result in the 
loss of the sow. Feed lightly at first. 
A very little corn and some slop is all 
she needs. She will need plenty of suc¬ 
culent foods as the days go by, and the 
owner should make it a point to supply 
these. He will be rewarded by a strong, 
healthy bunch of pigs that will develop 
into hogs very rapidly.—W. D. Neale. 
The Simplicity of Radio 
{Continued from page 59) 
complicated circuits for longer distance 
receiving. As has been pointed out 
above, the tuning coil with its slider 
tunes the aerial system to the various 
wave lengths. The detecting circuit is 
composed of the phone condenser and 
the crystal detector. The latter has the 
unique property of permitting current 
to flow more easily in one direction 
than in the other. The current in the 
aerial is reversing its direction very 
rapidly, and for this reason only one 
half of the waves are permitted to push 
current through the crystal. The mag¬ 
nets of the telephone receivers are 
wound with very fine wire which ob¬ 
structs the passage of the rapidly al¬ 
ternating current by its high resistance. 
The electricity therefore cannot pass 
the phones, and it “piles up” in the 
phone condenser. After the electrical 
“charge” in the condenser is strong 
enough it discharges into the telephone 
receivers and causes the diaphragms to 
vibrate in unison with the variation 
of the wave radiated from a sending 
aerial. This variation may be in the 
form of short and long buzzes to form 
the code, or it may be modulated by the 
human voice. 
The operation of the crystal set is 
simple. The contact arm is set at 
about the middle of the coil and the cat 
whisker brought down upon the crystal 
with a light pressure. One must feel 
around a little for the sensitive spot as 
the slider is moved slowly back and 
forth, the correct pressure varying 
with individual crystals. 
For city locations, where there may 
be interference from commercial or 
amateur code stations, or perhaps from 
a multiplicity of broadcasting stations, 
there is an improvement in the nature 
of an additional coil, which may be 
added to the set of Figure 1 with but , 
a slight change in the wiring. A dis¬ 
cussion of this refinement, together 
with sketches of the connections, will 
appear in next week’s issue.— Brain-' 
ARD Foote.
