with blackleg thru eating or drinking
some tainted or poisonous food or
water. To disprove this notion, the
Oklahoma station conducted expert
ments into the cause OF the develop
ment of the disease in young animals
that seem conclusive. These expert
ments consisted of isolating two calves
and drenching them with the pulveriz-
ed meat Of calf that had died II the
blackleg. The calves were kept up
for a week after the drenching but no
noticeable effects followed the drench-
ing.
At the end Of the week the calves
were inoculated with the one hum
dredth part OF the amount Of tainted
meat that they had put into their
stomach by drenching and the result
was that one of the calves died In
forty-one hours after incubation and
the other in fifty-two hours.
From these experiments the veterin-
arians deducei that the disease was
certainly the result of incubation. How
It Is done is Of course a mystery, but
the presumption is that 1t is done by
an abrasion Of the skin by striking
or scratching against some object con-
tanning the germs, or that after the
wound is made the germs OF the dis
ease find their way into the open
wound

Meanwhile Senator Mitchell and
Congressman Hermann are speeding
toward Portland and are due to arrive
here this evening. Many OF the ctti-

Sudden Change by Senator.
Two week ago, when the grand jury
sent a subpoena to Washington calling
on Senator Mitchell to come to Port
land, he refused to come. Saturday
Senator Mitchell received kilograms
from his friends advising him that 1T
was currently reported all over Port
land that S. A. D. Puter, Mrs. Emma
Watson, and others recently convicted
Of conspiracy in the land fraud cases,
had made confession duplicating Nit
chell and Hermann.
The senator and congressman start
ed for Portland Sunday evening.
1t is understood that both Mitchell
and Hermann are satisfied that the
move against them has been directed
by Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
from Washington, and they attribute
1t to his personal hostility toward them.
Up to the time that he refused TO
come to Portland as a witness against
Puter no public effort was made here
to implicate Senator Mitchell In the
land frauds, but SO far as Hermann is
concerned it is declared that the pres
ent effort to bring about his Indictment
is the elimination of a systematic
campaign which has been directed a.
gainst him for the last two years.
Hermann Defends Himself.
In an interview before leaving Wash
ington Congressman Hermann declar-
ed that during the six years that he
was the commissioner general of the
land office he performed his duties ac-
cording to the law as he understood 1t,
and without favoritism to any one. He
said that necessarily he was compell-
ed to rely upon reports and recon-
mendations of many subordinate off,

Handling the Breeding Hog.

Hog breeders have troubles Of their
own and this is one of the seasons
when they experience them. The 9TH
Ell seasons are spring, summer and fall.
Hogs kept for breeding purposes should
have grass, pure water, exercise, roots,
charcoal, ashes and salt, and IL she has
these requirements 1t Is not necessary
to hold back feed. She will produce
good litter Of pigs. 1t is the corn
fed sow exclusively, that gives disap-
pointment to her litter. Selecting pigs
for breeders because of exceptional
growth Is not good policy, and the
breeder will often find himself disap-
pointed. Feed more for muscle than
fat in breeding hogs Satisfy your
pigs wants and he will satisfy you in
return.

In short feed to the full capacity Of

to produce the results sought for, give

sufficient exercise, to keep them in full
vigor, and give them at all times that
which costs thu feeder the least and
which often counts for most, pure air

How to Handle Manure.

annaa1 from the soil for aid In fertil-

farmers. tho not realizing any spe-

condemn the practice Of establishing
d1,nns where the refuse of the STAPLES
and stock lots may be deposited IN
some ont of the way place and there
fore want to adopt some reasonable anu
craz,table disposition Of these manures,
even If there is no special demand ap-
narent from the cultivated acres.

on the farm will result IN greater

Winter Feeding.

A Michigan farmer says on this sub
ject the all-important question for the
farmer to now consider is, how can /
feed my animals SO that they will yield
the best returns in growth, flesh or
milk, at the least cost? The question
should not be, how little can feed and
still keep up animal life, but what and
how much shall feed to get the best
returns and at the same time keep thA
animals In perfect health? Health In
the drove or the herd is all important,
therefore lool; to It first, both In the
care and feed. We may get health
without profit, but we cannot get pro-
fit without health. Low vitality means
poor digestion, which in turn means
loss In food consumed. II this Is true,
anything that tends toward better
health means more profit, and Is GER
tainly desirable.
Nothing is cheaper or more beneficial
In this line than pure air, sunlight and
exercise. This is not only true with
the growing e,nimals, but with the fat
tening animals and the dairy herd. !
fully realtne that while all will agree
with me In the assertion that exercise
is necessary for the growing animal,
some will enphatically deny that any
exercise is ne sded for the fattening an
imal or the dairy COW.
In regard to kind Of feed, the feeder
should ask himself what Is desired,
milk, growth or flesh, and feed accord
ingly. A good rule for the inexperienc-
ed feeder to follow IS that the same
feeds that produce good flow Of milk
in the dairy cow and at the same time
keep her Up In flesh and vigor Will.
when fed to the growing animal, give
excellent returns in growth. On the
other hand, feed that has a tendency
to fatten the dairy cow and lessen the
flow Of milk, would not be desirable
feed for the animal that was not being
finished for The market. It pays to
fatten an animal only once, and that Is
when it is to be put on the market
Excessive IA. Is a positive injury to
the growing animal or the dairy COW,
AS much depends on the way feed Is
fed, when profit Is considered, as the
feed itself, punctuality in feeding IS
very important factor. There are
| many feeds that are not particularly
palatable to farm animals, altho
! they are nutritious These feeds should
be fed when the animals are hungry
and will then be eaten with relish.
! when If these same feeds were fed
when the animals appetite was par
TALLY satisfied, they would be rejected
and become Il total loss. BY using tact
and feeding the poorer feeds In small
quantities first, and those that are more
palatable later. great saving can be
made.
The nearer, that the feeder can feed
ND to the full capacity Of his animals
the more profit will be realized. a
little fuel will keep the engine run
ming, but It is only when more fuel IS
added that the machinery can be be1ted
on and the engine run with profit This
is equally true in feeding farm ami
mails. There is no money made in sim
ply keeping up life. It is the food that
is fed over and above maintenance
ration that give us our profit.
Plenty Of fresh water is as important
as the feed when profits are to be real
