War robs memory of trio among unusual veterans cases
Three veterans at the Veterans' Bureau in Washington are described as among the most unusual memory loss cases. One, Hayward Thompson, cannot recall his identity or relatives, believing he once had large sums of money and a past in Europe after a shrapnel wound. Others, unidentified men, seek their pasts with Legion aid, while reports note similar cases in France and Kentucky.

Better care of pigs necessary for future supply
Pig crop this spring is reported to be below normal across many areas. Poor feeding of brood sows due to cheap corn and high protein balancer prices led to weak farrowing and undersized piglets. Sanitation is stressed as equally critical to raise thriving pigs.
Movable hog houses aid health and pasture rotation
Vet Dr I W Stouder of Iowa State notes pigs suffer from filth infections when kept in mud and manure. Wet weather worsens snarling nose snuffles and illness, while pasturing on blue grass boosts survival. Iowa experiment station plans for movable hog houses ease cleaning, ventilation, and disinfection, allowing field rotation to curb parasites.
