Gilts Better Than Sows An in Raising Market Pigs breeding experiment recently completed by the United States Department of Agriculture bears out the belief of many swine breeders that gilts are miore economical breeding animals than mature sows. E. Z. Russell of the Bureau of Animal Industry reports that pigs from gilts were raised at less cost per pound of marketable weight than pigs from mature sows. This includes all periods of growth gestation, suckling, growing, and fattening. Three groups were tested in the mature sows, gilts experiment from mature sows, and gilts from gilts. Pigs from the second group were raised to a marketable weight at 47 cents a hundred pounds less than the first group of pigs, from the third group at 42 cents a hundred pounds less. One of the advantages in using gilts for breeding, Russell points out, is that if a gilt should prove to be a the animal still would sell well as a butcher hog. There was no drop in the production ability of the gilts from gilts, as the records show that at the end of the eighth year their litters average 1,420 pounds at 190 days of age, the best record for this group for the entire eight years. non-breed- eight-ye- ar er Agricultural Notes Herbs that are grown for their fragrance include ambrosia, laven- der, creeping mint, and sweet woodruff. Those grown for use in cooking include bush basil, chamomile, pot marjoram, orange mint, and winter savory. Lighter draft horses fit into any kind of farm work and the improved multiple hitches allow the use of a larger number of horses for doing the very heavy work. Behind the invention there is the inventor; behind every discovery there is the pioneer; and behind each new thought there is the thinker. The thinker is thus the real ruler of the world. He initiates new ideas, he is behind each great advance that is made, and really it is he who determines the line along which mankind is destined to advance. The thinkers are the worlds real leaders; can we not as well say that they are the worlds real rulers? The pen is mightier than the sword! Rev. E. Neville Martin, M. A.

Smoke the meat with hickory, oak, or corn cobs to suit the taste. If the smokehouse is and well ventilated, meat may be left in it until used. Otherwise, it should be v ' , ' ' principal methods: the brine cure and the dry salt cure. Common salt is the basis of all meat curing. Sugar is sometimes added to give a better flavor and to counteract the tendency of the salt to harden the meat. Saltpeter may be used also to give the meat a natural red color, it has some preservative effect, too. In curing pork, be sure that all the animal heat has dissipated and that the meat has not frozen. Do the curing in a cool, well ventilated place and, if possible, in a temperature of 34 to 40 degrees fahrenheit. In the brine cure, for each 100 pounds of meat use 12 pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpeter, and six gallons of water. Boil the water and allow it to cool.. If desired, add three cups of sugar to this formula. Thoroughly mix the salt, saltpeter, and sugar and rub some of the mixture into the hams, shoulders, and sides. Pack all meat in the same vessel, skin side down, except the top layer should be skin side up. Weight the meat down with clean hard wood or bricks. Dissolve the rest of the salt and other ingredients in the six gallons of water, before the water has cooled. After the solution is cool, pour it over the meat in the vessel until all meat is covered. Repack the meat on the seventh and twenty-firdays. When the meat is cured, wash it first in hot water and then in cold water and hang it in the smokehouse to drip for 24 hours before smoking. For the dry cure, use for each 100 pounds of meat: eight pounds of salt, three ounces of saltpeter, and three pounds of sugar (brown preferred). Mix the ingredients thoroughly and rub half the mixture on the meat, then pack it as for the brine cure. In seven days repack the meat and rub on the other half. The meat should cure three days for each pound of weight of each piece. Then wash it and hang it in the smoke- The Thinker Is the Real Ruler of World By WILLIAM C. UTLEY GHANDI may have started the MAHATMA it was the miners of Hungary or Wales. Or again, it might have been French factory workers. But it took Americans to set it to swing music. Americas new strike technique, as fostered by impressarios John L. Lewis of the Committee for Industrial Organization and Homer Martin of the United Automobile Workers of America, may be of grim purpose and persistent determination, but it is also light in spirit. 7 sit-do- . Take a typical scene about a striking automobile body plant. Parked along the curbs and in the street outside the plant are scores of cars containing sympathizers with the workers or simply the idly curious. Have they come in the hope of seeing some excitement a riot, perhaps? No. They have come to listen to one of the nightly concerts played by the strikers orchestra! And as the closing strains of Pennies From Heaven or Its float out the windows n of the plant, there is a chorus of honking applause from the audience. This is not an indication that the strikers are a bunch of loafers, bent on having a good time. It is actually one of the applications of big business methods to striking. If organized recreation makes happier industrial workers, so it makes strikers happier and more effective. Concerts are a part of an d program of discipline and education which is a far cry from the conduct of strikes Cf the past. Long Known in Mines. It is also a far cry from the earliest strikes, which are for the strikers do not actually sit down very much. They only remain inside the plant in which they worked, guarding the property against invasion by scabs until their demands are met. ' Perhaps John L. Lewis, long known 'in mine labor circles, adapted this idea from a practice of miners over many years past. A miner who was not being given enough timber to shore his place would squat and refuse to load any coal until the timber arrived. The superintendent usually lost no time in getting it to him. The first stay-i- n or strike to gain wide attention was that in the mines of Pecs, Hungary, in 1934. Miners down in the shafts refused to come up and even threatened to commit suicide en masse if their working conditions and pay were not improved. A year later the same idea was adopted by workers in colleries of Wales. Strikers Protect Property. In the United States it first received wide attention when employes of art and theater projects of the WPA stayed-i- n but refused to work until their demands were met. Workers claim that when they De-Love- ly shut-dow- efficiently-administere- sit-do- mis-name- d, sit-do- 1 strike inside a plant, they actually protect the property. But while they are there, the company cannot put anyone else on their jobs. Company officials claim this is trespassing and illegal. First act of the union when a strike is called is to choose groups of pickets and captains, to police the plant and grounds. It is of considerable advantage if the plant is located on the street, and not set far back from the gate, for the success of the strike depends upon the workers control of all entrances and exits. The way must be kept open for despatches of food and other supplies to come in. If you can say an army marches on its stomach, you can say a modern strike sits down on its stomach. If a plant has windows which open to the street, supplies may be passed in without the necessity of entering through one of the gates. Women Are Chaperoned. Strike leaders realize that to keep the sympathy of the public they must remain orderly. Mobs with an axe to grind do not remain orderly for long unless their minds are occupied, unless there are means provided for expending the natural energy their bodies create. For that reason to every striker is assigned some duty. He may be given a certain area to keep clean, a certain watch to patrol or a shift on messenger duty. If there are women among the strikers they may be charged with information desks, with preparing food, mending clothing, or even running impromptu beauty parlors to keep up the appearance of their colleagues. Chaperonage is usually of the strictest order, and there have been cases in which the regular plant matrons stayed in with the strikers to administer this important job. The information clerks are often as not the liaison between the strikers and their families or friends outside. Wives often call at windows to see their husbands. Strikers are not nearly so uncomfortable as might be imagined. In the automobile plants there are usually enough rear seat cushions at hand to provide plenty of soft beds, while floor coverings make good blankets. sit-do- Wives Cook the Meals. Barrels, kegs and boxes serve for chairs and are fairly comfortable, at that. On steel tables the strikers play such games as checkers, monopoly and poker. Food usually is cooked in a hall near the plant. Sometimes a chef from a restaurant in the town supervises the work. The wives and sweethearts of the strikers do most of the actual cooking, and pack the many tubs and baskets which official union messengers transport through the gates or hoist up to the windows. Discipline in some plants approaches military standards. The are rigidly rules, obeyed ; the few infractions are punished swiftly and severely. ' The orderly conduct of the strikers is aptly illustrated by one plant. Men Do Own Washings. A bugle call arouses the men from their slumbers at 7 a. m. Some take advantage of the shower baths provided in the plant; everybody washes well, behind the ears and all. Forty-fiv- e minutes later in the company cafeteria the breakfast sent in by the women folks is served fruit, cereal, milk, coffee, rolls and doughnuts. For lunch there will be stew, .dessert and coffee. At night meat, potatoes, vegetables, coffee and dessert. When they have finished breakfast, the men patrol their assignments. The plant is kept almost as clean as it is when there is no strike on. They do their own laundry in some cases; the conveyor lines resemble back yards on wash day. Some of the men, of course, send their laundry home. Time is not allowed to drag. When the work is done the strikers may, if they wish, attend classes which are conducted under the auspices of the union officials. Propaganda With Entertainment. There are generally two important meetings every day. The strikers executive committee meets and discusses the progress of the movement at noon; later on there is a general meeting at which all the strikers are advised as to what is going on. After dinner at night there is invariably community entertainment, such as might be found in a boys camp. Radios provide music for community singing part of the time. In addition, a orchestra can usually be rounded up from the ranks of the strikers. In the regular employes meetings and parties when there is no strike on, the company seldom fails to include propaganda designed to promote happier relations between employer and employe. And in the parties of the strikers there is plenty of propaganda supplied by the leaders to keep up enthusiasm for Mixed in with the the strike. y songs swing music and is an occasional paraphrase of a familiar ballad a new lyric reminding the strikers of the advantages to be gained if they will continue to be persistently patient.
