Clean Feeding.

There is very general feeling
among swine growers that it does not
make much difference into what kind
of a place hogs feed is thrown; il he
can get to it and find it, he will convert
it into wholesome pork. When a hogs
nose is always muddy ard filthy, the
feed he gets is also filthy. Because
hog will find waste grains of corn, or
other feed, in the most filthy places, it
is no sign that it is advisable to make
him always eat in such a place. A
feeding floor has its value and it also
has its disadvantages. 1t is hard to
build suitable plank feeding floor ar d
not make a rat harbor. Once when |
tried such floor Cor 1oors) for year
or two, the rats got start and came
near taking the farm before succeed
ed in getting them rooted out. Then
the plank floor is not always where
wanted, unless it is portable one that
can be changed to suit the moving
about of the herds. Such a floor is
hard to build and keep in order. A
cement floor can be built rat proof, and
have had such an one in mind, but
cannot decide where want floor that
would be stationary. Sometimes it would
not be convenient to bring the hogs
to it.
Nearly always there is waste prod
uct on the farm that the farmer does
not know what to do with. refer 10
the surplus straw-a product that
should always be kept on the farm and
utilized to make manure. | have
found that there is no better way to
get the straw into manure than to
work it through the hog yards. When
the hog gets muddy or wet, there is no
better way to clean it up than to pile in
plenty of straw and raise it above wat
er and mud line. Straw makes first
rate feeding floor. 1t is much better
than mud or a feeding ground made
solid by the use of gravel. am led to
believe that gravel is very objection
able, for the reason that it is almost
impossible to keep the hogs from get
ting more or less of it mixed with their
feed. When straw is used to,keep the
feeding grounds clean, the hogs should
not be allowed to bed in it, but should
have warn, dry shelter near that is
well and comfortably bedded. They
will not lie out in the wet straw in the
feed yard if they have good shelter.
Cornstalks, also, are excellent to use to
keep the hogs out of the mud. II the
hogs noses are free from rings, as they
should be, they will find the corn if it
does work down into the straw and
stalks, and if the supply of stalks and
straw is kept up the hogs noses will
always look clean. Ihave learned that
the hogs can do a great deal of work
for me in making manure when their
feed yards are small and kept well COW
cred with straw and stalks.-National

PRESIDENTIAL BEES BUZZ.
Several Republican 5ooms Floating

Washington, July 21.--Whilc three
years must elapsc before another
presidential campaign, two re-
publican booms have so far been
launchcd--ono for Governor Shaw,
of Iowa, for which Senator Allison
stands godfather, and the other for
Senator Hanna, whose nomination
Perry S Heath recommends.
There are some grounds for the
impression that Senator Hanna be-

his nomination if his name should be
seriously presented.
Governor Shaw is regarded rs I'M.

more reason to believe that the e..

ALABAMANS
EXCITED

Montgomery, Ala, July 20.-An eX-
citing scene occurred yesterday in the
constitutional convention over the
disposal of a resolution protesting
against free passes being accepted by
state officers. Former Governor
Jones protested against the tabling of
the resolution and appealed from the
decision of the chair. President Knox
ordered Jones to take his seat until
the question could be stated. The
former governor refused and asked If
his appeal was going to be put.
Chairman Knox, amid great excite
ment, directed the sergeant at arms
to remove Jones from the hall. Jones
passionatcly exclaimed: IF anyone
attempts it, it will be done over my
dead body"
AS the sergeant approached, Jones
drew a small pocket knife but did not
open it, then finally sat down. The
chair put the appeal and was over
whelmingly sustained. Mutual eX-
plantations followed and good feeling
was restored

JUMPS ON GAGE.
Italian Government Says Secretary
Has Wronged II.

Italian Government Says Secretary
Has Wroneed II.
Washington, July 20.-The Italian
government has severely punctured
Secretary Cages construction OF ltal'
ian law whereby he put countervaiiing
duty on Italian sugar and added Italy
to the camp of hostiles in the trade
war against the United States. The
Italian foreign Office has demonstrated
to Secretary Gage, first, that Italy
pays no bounty; second, that is sends
no sugar to America, and third that II
it shall at any time send sugar to
America it will pay no bounty to ltal-
ian producers.
The position of Italy is precisely
that of Russia, although in the case Of
Italy the secretary has made his
ruling provisional. This was evil
IDENTIFY because the amount of the pros
pective import was believed by Secre-
tary Gage to be very small and would
not concern the trust, while in the
Russian case he considered the
amount large enough TO effect the in
terests of the trust.
The explanation, with proof, by the
Italian government leaves nothing for
Secretary Gage to do but to recon
slider and make the proper explana-
tions to Italy. 1t is understood that
he proposes to make his reply public
in a day or TWO. No one expects any
thing other than an apologize explain
alton, although Secretary Cages
friends are spreading the idea that
he has something f. reserve which
will justify his action.
