time the pigs are two weeks old, and we
will add to the slop ground corn and oats,

mixtures that will do as well as the one
given, but care should always be taken
to mix food that produces mainly fat with
other foods that tend to produce chief

part of the former to two parts of the
latter. Oatmeal with shorts and oats
and barley and rye could be used to good
advantage Nearly all kinds of vegeta-
bles used in connection with the different

the different breeders.
It should always be remembered that
regularity in feeding and variety in food
without abrupt changes and frequent ac-
cess to fresh water are the essentials to
successful swine breeding.
When the pigs are 3 weeks old they
should be fed by themselves. where the

without wasting any food. In this man
ner the pigs will improve very fast, and
be in condition for market whenever you
are ready to sell.
As pigs raised in this way at the age
of months ought to weigh from POO 10
go pounds. the average farmer can readily
see the prof in a well-tended pig over that

Feeding Wheat to Horses.

The common presumption is that
wheat is not a good feed for
horses, on account of the danger
of founder by indigestion or other troubles
by the swelling of the grain in the stom-
ach or bowels, says writer in an ex-
change Wheat is not so digestibIe as
corn. on account of the larger quantity of
gluten in the former. The difference is
also more pronounced because of the more
glutinous character. if it may be so ex-
pressed, of the gluten of wheat. This may
be easily tested by any person by taking
a small quantity of -four of wheat and Of
cornmeal and separately mixing them with
water in such a way as to wash out the
starch, leaving the gluten in solid, gluey
mass. This may be done with wheat but
not VITA corn which remains a loose sub
stance after the washing. Experiments
made show that wheat corn, and oats are
all about the same as regards the guam
THY of water absorbed by each, and the
amount of expansion in the swelling
That wheat is apt to give a collie to horses
is doubtless due TO the large quantity OF
gluten in f.. which, in its decomposition,
gives out gas that collects in the intes-
tines. On the whole, it may be said that
wheat is not so safe a grain for horses
as corn is when fed dry and whole but

Feeding Bran to Live stock.

But few farmers realize the true feed
ing value of bran, says ". B. in Indiana
Farmer Those who have fed it to COWS
have realized good results; but the why
and the. wherefore has been but poorly
understood by the average farmer. This
is unfortunate, and it is yearly becoming
more and more essential that the farmer
should educate himself up to a per
feet understanding Of his business, or the
results are surely disastrous.
1t has been settled beyond controversy
that a pound of bran contains more
valuable food constituents than q pound
of wheat, for nearly one-half of the
wheat is starch. which contains small
nutriment. ! noticed that 1t is stated in
another paDer that one pound of fat is
worth nearly two and half pounds Of
starch. a ton of wheat contains but 30
hounds Of fat: while a ton Of bran will
count no from 81 to S. pounds. This is
all veritably true as has been time and
again demonstrated by our different eX-
detrimental stations. Another tact con
nected with stock foods is, that when
We feed a yvell-balanced ration there is
little loss. as the animal can digest and
assimilate most of it; while if the food has
not the proper proportions Of album
noids to the carbohydrates, large per
cent. is lost. In bran We have about

NOTES FROl THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Literary exercises, consisting OF
recitations of the best things in litera.
ture, singing and essay work, are
given in the grades and High school
on Friday afternoons. In the High
school Ed. Freeman is president, May
BRETT secretary, Earnest Brown vice
president, and Joseph Austin is treas
urer.
The eighth grades carry out the
course of study by calisthenic exer
cises in the hall for five minutes each
day. The High school should give
this training at $3.50 each day.
The sixth grade in Union, Miss
Jones, teacher, has collected a fine lot
of specimens for use in geography and
language. The whole school deserves
praise for these fine helps.
The uperintendent stated at
teachers meeting that more than
twice as many teachers journals are
taken by teachers than ever before.
One teacher takes six, and all are
helpful. The schools are moving for.
ward in materials, methods and helps.
Each school has a journal exchange,
so each can read the papers of all.

In speaking of the Omaha track re-
moval, the RevieU last evening refers
to the question of the location of the
passenger depot, and says that the
'depot locations are trivial in theil
character, and ought not be permit
ted to enter into the consideration OF
the great overshadowing issue" AS
compared with the question of re-
moving the tracks to the river from
tage, so they are. The great thing
for which all should pull together is tc
get the tracks removed. And the ques'
tion of two orIthree blocks as to where
the depot may besought not to be al,
lowed to protrude itself as snag in
they. Our people will doubtless agree
to the fact that the present site of
the Northwestern depot would be
much more desirable than the point
indicated by the company, and we
believe they will unite in saying that
the depots located where the company
indicates will be more desirable than
to have the tracks remain where they
are now. The one question should be
to get the tracks removed. But this
does not mean that the question OF
getting the depots located 10 the
most convenient place should be lost
sight of.

will give instructions upon some OF
the vital questions of the day, namely
Church and State now united in
this country. The proper relation OF
the Christian church to civil govern
ment, significance of the Christian
citizenship movement, and the New
York Republicans Sunday plank.
Other labOrers are present to assist in
the various services, to which our cit
liens are invited.
Last evening Mr.. Phelps addressed
large and attentive audience, upon
the subject, "Soul Freedom in Christ.
In discoursing upon his subject, he
laid down the vital principle of true
religion, that all intelligences were
created as free moral agents, with full
liberty to yield or to withhold obedi-
ence, but with no authority to COM
pei others; that obedience is the
highest form of worship, and that God
desires service of love, and takes nc
pleasure in forced obedience.
From this he drew the conclusion
that legal enactments, legal religion,
the penalties of civil laws, and the
policeman's club had no place in
Christianity, and that the true
Christian would depend upon the Cos.
pei, which is the power of God, as a
means of converting men from their
evil ways; and that the Christian
should not appeal to or depend upon
the power of the state, but upon the
power of love and the God of love,
who has extended His everlasting
arms to save the soul lost in sin.
The subject will be continued this
evening. Public services at 1920 a

The Democratic papers are making
a great ado over the result of the In.
dianapolis municipal election, their
party having won victory, the city
having been carried by the Republi-
cans two years ago. 1t is the first
victory of any Importance the Demo
Gratis have had for the' last two years,
and they may well be pardoned for
feeling good over it. But they ought
not to shout too loud in hurry. The
result is due largely to local causes.
The Republican administration there
has been quite satisfactory except to
the corrupt element. All Of the dis
satisfied tones combined againt the
Republicans, and defeat came. The
pulse of the country can be much bet
ter gagged by the results in the sever
al states next month. If Democracy
makes decided gains ,they will have
cause for congratulation. The indi.
cation is, however, that at that time
Republican sentiment will prevail.
and that while majoritIes may not be
as sweeping as year ago, a thing
hardly to be expected, they will be
ample for all purposes, and that many
permanent gains will be made.

From this it will be seen that no
levy was made to meet the interest
on bonds falling due during the next
year, which will be about $40, 500. The
amount of money nominally in the
interest fund Oct. 1st was 50, 465. 80,
and this is just enough to meet the
interest falling due between now
ane April 1st. There Will be nothing
with which to pay the interest
falling due the following year,
and the money must be advanc-
ed from the current fund or borrowed,
for the interest must be met prompt
ly. The first alternative will leave
but 81, 500 in the current fund for the
year. The extra $4,000 which the
electric light plant will cost above
the bond issue must be taken from
this figure, unless the payments on
the plant can be extended. In any
event, a large floating debt is charged
up There was $4,000 in notes
against the city July 1st, and none of
these have been or can be cancelled,
and $1,000 more has been borrowed
within the last few weeks. The cOun-
Gil will have to borrow money every
month from now until April.
AS matter of fact. the $40, 500 re-
quired to pay next years interest on
bonds must be borrowed from the
banks at eight per cent, which will
cost S40O, and unless double levy is
made in the future, this sum will be
added to the annual expense of the
city without the authority of the PEG
pie.
Those who have looked into our
city finances know that they are in a
deplorable condition, and the neglect
to make the interest levy will only
make them worse after this year.
How soon will receiver be neces-
sary?
