The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is a matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatiesliy good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A

Another Kansas Scheme.

Kansas while fortunate in a mild
climate, fertile soil and wide awake
people, is also the home of more cranks
than any other portion of the Union.
Carrie Nation is going the rounds over
the country proclaiming that she is
from Kansas and is putting up at many
of the first class jsils in other states
now.
Another Kansas scheme has come
out of the brush with plan to restrict
the wheat area and thus raise the price.
The brilliant idea is to form national
organization whose members are to
SOW only enough wheat for seed in 1902,
hold on to the old crop and realize from
the increased price. OF course this at
tempt to restrict production would go
the way of its predecessors, too numer-
GUS and too Insignificant to be remem
bered. The only reducer of wheat
areas is low prices, SO low that produc-
ton is Improbable. And sometimes
that fails to "work."
What beautiful state of affairs 1t
would be If the corn raisers, the beet
feeders, the pork producers, the potato
furnishers. should all do the same thing
as the rainbow chasers propose to do

Chile the All-conquering.

While we North Americans have
been looking with good-natured con-
tempt upon the republics of South
America, and while they have been
invoking each others aid against the
overgrown giant of the North which in
their minds eye will soon seek terrltor-
ial aggrsndizement in some part of
South America; the real danger, if we
may believe man who has been let in
on the ground floor of South American
diplomacy, is in foe of their own
household In fact the season is fast
approaching when the United States is
to be stripped of its magnificent empire
like other decadent nations.
Pedro II. Helguero, who was Mexican
consul general to Peru in 1897, has pub
lished pamphlet in Lima exposing the
secrets of state of Chile, Peru and
Bolivia, and revealing the subterrauean
depths of an oceanic scheme Of world
conquest which is hidden beneath the
dickies of those who guide the desti-
nies of Chile. The project is nothing
less than the conquest of all of South
America and the welding of it into
one nation under Chilean officers. Sup
Elemental to this plan is a federation
between Mexico and the consolidated
republics of Central America and the
stripping from the United States of all
the ancient possessions of Mexico now
included within our borders That
this is no idle dream appears in the
fact that Chile is already on the high
way to accomplish it. Already the fab
ulous treasurers of Tarapacs, formerly
belonging to Peru, have been gained,
and from this inexhaustible source of
revenue she will draw to keep fleets in
the Atlantic, as we'll as in the Pacific
and to maintain an army of at least
100000 men. In fact, according to this
authority, who was himself permitted
to inspect Chile's military resources, she
has already 100000 men enrolled in her
army and has accumulated cannon
ammunition and other equipments fol
force of 50OOOO and can get down tc
business any day she chooses. Nor, ac-
cording to the armchair diplomacy, does
the long arm of the Emperor William
which propels his finger into every pit
from the crest of the Himalayas to thu
springs of the Amazon fail to Valpar
also. Two German syndicates, it ap
pears, have already been formed to Fl
nance the undertaking in return for
monopoly of the output of Tarapacs

s gagged to organize and instruct tn

all within ten days or two weeks If !
possible to thrifty, well developed boar |
(but never more than two IA day to one !
boar,) SO as to have the pigs strong !
hearty and near the same age.
AS to crossing with another. I will
not speak, but il is important to have
them all of the same color es well as the
same age and style, SO they will be at
tractive to the buyer, and by so doing
you will get 20 to % cents per 100 more
than if they lacked uniformity. Have
each sow named or numbered and re-
cord the date they are bred, and be pre-
pared to care for each sow and pigs to
themselves before she is due to farrow,
tor little carelessness or neglect on
your part at this time will cause you to
loose more than you can make on what
happen to get through all right. The
sows should be in good order but not
fat.
Feed moderately until after the pigs
come and then Increase the feed gradu-
ally until they are week old, when the
sows should be on full feed. 1t is i'm
portant to give the SOW some slops be-
fore she farrows to insure a good flow
of milk. l have known pigs to get
poor, and if the weather was cold chill
to death because the sow hadh's sutli-
cient milk, while if she had been prop
erly fed for week before they would
have been all right. Feed the sow lib
orally on good slop and corn and let her
have access to the best pasture possi-
BILE, for litter of eight or ten and
| sometimes eleven and twelve hearty
pigs makes great demand on the sow.
For early spring pigs good growth
of rye or wheat is excellent. When the
pigs are three or four weeks old they
will begin to eat corn aud should have
it shelled for them. Have shallow
troughs and encourage them to drink
slop as soon as they will. Feed the
pigs we'll all the time, but during hot
weather l think best not to feed toe
much corn. Feed near the water anc
shade and when the weather is warm
but for the benefit of the coming corr
or other crops feed on clover iielt
where you can utilize the manure
which is the richest of any made on tn
farm. If pigs weigh 100 pounds o
more when you begin to fatten them,
, think 60 days full feed on corn on
good clover pasture will give create
gain to the amount of corn fed than
fed longer.-S. Y Thornton in Farm
