Rice, adjunct professor of animal husbandry at the State College of Agriculture here, today advised Georgia hog raisers to give special attention to their herds between now and farrowing time. “The trouble that is often ac- I x-ompanied with farrowing,” says • of. Rice, “is very frequently caus by want of proper care. First of all give the sow comfortable sleep ing quarters. Many farmers think just because they are hogs any place i on the farm is good enough for them. The cost of proper shelter is noth- I ing compared to the returns that a satisfactory period of pregnacy is sure to bring. If you have only a few sows the cheapest method is the individual house. It is very neces sary that there are no cold damp drafts blowing through the house. Also keep the house free from dust and have it well bedded with straw or other suitable material. “Exercise is of the utmost im portance at this time. Os course, this is an old and well established principle, but many of us do not heed it. The brood sow should have the range of the farm for these three months. If you are going to keep the sow in a pen just large enough for he r to turn around in, you will not get a strong healthy litter of pigs. “The feeding qf pregnant sow is an item of great importance. The sow should be gaining in flesh at the time of service and should continue to gain throughout the period of pregnacy, not rapidly, but consist ently. "Heavy feeding of corn should be avoided, but an abundance of rather ’bulky satisfying feed should be provided. Where pastures are available throughout the winter, the sow should have free range. Other wise keep alfalfa or clover hay be fore her. Crushed oats and shorts make up an excellent ration and should be supplemented with a lit tle tankage. A little bran is mild ly laxative and for that reason is highly beneficial to the general thrift of the sow. “Clean pure water should be giv en to her every day. She should al ways have free access to wood ash es or corncob charcoal broken up fine and air slacked lime and salt added to it. A little salt in the slop cv- night and morning makes the "tore appetizing be- ing beneficial to the future littei. “Give your sows the proper at tention now and see what healthy litters you will have next spring. HOLDER AND CARSWELL TO GO TO HAKKISmKG ATLANTA, March 9.—John N. Holder, of Jefferson, chairman of the state highway commission, Craig K. Arnold, of Dahlonega, and George 11.

High Food Prices Tragedy of Ruhr BY 808 DORMAN NEA Service Camera Correspondent 1 HERNE, Germany (Territory of I the Ruhr), March B.—Bernhard! Riehl doesn’t know what it is all , about. Bernhard spent ’4 ; rears in the trench ’s. He didn’t enow what that was about, either. He jnly knew that the ; war ended and that j he was safe and | I could return to his wife and children. There were seven i | of those children then. There are nine now. ' " t-i DORMAN Bernhard thoguht that with the I war ended he could work and en- i joy the simple pleasures that were | his before a power-hungry monarch 1 attempted to conquer the world. But—Germany didn't pay. Bernhard doesn’t understand that i either. High finance is out of his line Plaster and mortar are "all he knows Suddenly the blue uniforms he knew so well six years ago, were all around him. , The French had occupied the Ruhr i in order to make Germany pay, he was told. ,What that meant, he didn’t know But he did know this—that while his wages jumped 290 per cent, everything he bought jumped 300 to GOO per cent. Today, Bernhard gets 1000 marks an hour and works 47 hours a week. His total pay for the week is 47,000 marks. Os this he must pay to the government 10 per cent, leaving hin.’ ■ 42,300 marks a week to support his .wife and nine children (about $1.51 a week,according to exchange rates i ' at this writing.)

DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR * Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody WiII Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever i her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful es- I feet. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other ingre dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. Well-known druggists say it darkens tlie hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a' sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taki. g one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy, j ’ THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
