Urgent requests upon citizens of towns, villages and rural sec tions to raise pigs in their buck yards are beinjr made in Cinada and the Pennsylvania khttmrt meut of Agriculture haa repeat er! ly urged greater interest" in hog raising iu this State. The appeal to the Canadian people which can well be followed in Pennsylvania points out the prof its of backyard feeding. 1 The hog plays a most important part in rationing our armies and thosft of our AUi28. Nootberan irnal can so quickly and econom ically produce the meat and fat in which our European Allies are so woefully short. Eventually success of our armies depends, in no insignificant degree, upon the ability of our people to raise hogs and more hogs. In this important work resi dents of villages, towns and cities can give mot helpful assistance. Nor need the work be unpleasant. "As dirty as a pig," is an old say in? which maligns the hog. If giveu a chance to be clean, the pig is among the most cleanly of domesticated animals. With reasonably good management, the bog is neither unsanitary nor offensive when fed in the back yard of an urban dwelling; while the table refuse, otherwise wast ed, may be profitably utilized by him. The householder, in short, who in this year of trial feeds a p:g, at once performs a most ur gent patriotic service and utilizes spare moments and table refuse very profitably for himself. Weanling pigs, at from six to eight weeks of age, weigh in the neighborhood of thirty pounds. If males, they should be castra ted either before or shortly after weaning. Young sow pigs will make as economical gams as the barrows. Generally speaking, pigs that are fairly long, deep, with rather shor )t broad he'ads, fairly strong bone, and an abun dant coat of silky hair, makes the best use of the feed supplied, and consequently will make the most economical gains. FEED A PIG, BECAUSE 1. Hogs multiply rapidly and mature quickly, so that they offer the quickest means of in creasing the armies' supply of meat. 2. Hogs produce more meat from a given amount of feed than any other domestic animal. 3 Hogs give a greater weight cf dressed carcass in proportion to live weightthan any other animal. 4 The carcass of the hog con tains more edible meat in pro portion to bone than that of any other animal. 5. Pork and bacon contain a large proportion of edible fat which is vitally needed in the rations of soldiers. 6. Bacon is the mo3t compact form in which meat can be ship ped abroad. 7. One or two pigs can be kept in the backyards of thous ands of urban households with profit. It is necessary to supply growing pigs with food which are concentrated in character, that is, containing not too much fibre and bulk. Young p gs are generally weaned with skim miik, so that when this food is not available, we must try to replace it as best we can. At the outset then, some shorts or middlings should be available. They are relished by the pigs, and may be fed to a certain extent right through 'the fattening time. Tankage, which can also be pur chased at the feed store, can be fed with profit. It helps to take the place of the skim milk. It should be fed sparingly at first, forming tvo or three percent, of the meal ration, and this may be increased to ten per cent, as the hog grows and becomes ac customed to it. Coming in a dry powder form U Is conveniently mixed with the grain before feed ing. As the pig gains in weight and reaches about three months oro in age, it will be necessary to supply some heavier grain Ground barley, gradually added, is excellent, while a little oat chop may be fed. Finely ground screenings can be fairly cheaply obtained and may form part of the ration, supplemented with ground barley or oats to keep from becoming too close in texture. In feeding meal to pigs, feed j ist what they will nicely clean up aud no more. The most economical gain are made when the pig Is kept jut slightly be low his limit aud at no time overstepping it If water if supplied constaoth, the meal should not bo made too sloppy. If the meal is dampened tbure will be less waste than if fed dry. The hog is the most econom ical consumer of by products. Much of the garbage will be rel ished by him, but care muat be talien to keep broken dishes and glass out of the garbage car, and not to feed auything that will tend to cause poisoning, sued as soapy dishwater, etc, Dish water which contains no chemi cal or soap has some food value for pigs. Assuming that a smail yard is supplied the pig for exer cise, care must be taken not to sour the ground by feeding the garbage always in one place, and allowing it to become stagnant. Garden refuse should find a place in the ration of every pig keptfcin the back yard. The weeds that are pulled out, the plants that are hoed out when ihinning, the tops that are cut off, etc., if thrown into the yard supply the green food which is necessary to keep the pig in a thrifty coQd.ton Tho grass that is mowed from the Juwn will be relished particularly if the pig's yard is bmll, aid what he dues not tan vil. when dried, make a fairly smis- factcry bed for him to lie on. Ordinarily it will not be found practicable to cook the garbage Materials such as potato peel ings are much more Vuluit i-ilc' tot pigs when cooked, a d if tie can be cooked they should bii led along with tho itipiil ration Lice tend to weaken th.j ratify of pigs, and in dpi- th. m anrp susceptible to dixm.u I'wo parts of creolm to ono huncind parts of wator uiai.e a cii for lice.

If a more permanent type of house is deemed advisable, an "A" shaped pen, might be used The size can 'be varied with the number of pigs kept. " PLEASANT RIDGE.
