Rocky Mountain HOGS.

w. l.. Carlyle, formerly of Wisconsin,
and a national authority on live stock,
announces that pork growing in the
Rocky mountain country is no longer
chimera. Mr.. Carlyle has given the
question Of fattening swine much
study and makes the following state
ment:
There is no reason why the state
of Colorado with It's superior climate,
should not produce more good health
full swine than are needed for home
consumption. 1t has been repeatedly
stated by many that hogs cannot be
successfully raised and fattened where
corn is not grown.l do not believe
that this II, true.
I'VE purchased last week number
of hogs from the stockyards at Dem
yer: just good ordinary hogs. We
have started an experiment with
them for the purpose of determining
just what money can be made by the
farmer In Colorado In the hog feeding
business. We win weigh them every
week, and at the same time keep an
eye on the market and figure up at
weighing time just what we could
have marketed the animals for, and In
this way we will find under the pres
ent market prices what we could have
made out OF the pigs at various stages
of the test. We win also determine
the most profitable ration to use, this
of course, being the object for which

The recent reports Of a massacre OF
J Thibetans at Guru by the British army
of invasion is remindful of those tales
T OF slaughter which came from the Sou
dan. The circumstances are different
and yet alike. British trade interests
were behind both. In each instance a
trained and thoroughly equipped body
of veteran soldiers opposed discipline
and machine guns to disorder and
matchlocks and spears. The result
was the same. The solid squares of the
British infantry held the mob of brave
and unframed natives outside their for
nation while machine guns and maya
zine rifles moved them down. 1t was
not a battle but massacre. 1t was
the old story of British foreign policy
told over. The Thibetans suffered not
so much for refusal to confirm treat
listened to Russian overtures. They
were caught between the shears OF
English and Russian aggression and
territorial greed to their own destruc-
tion. It was Englandss advance upon
Chinese territory as a warning to Rus

there ought to be more and better

THE DRAINAGE law.

The passage OF Il drainage law is one
of the great accomplishments of the
present legislature. Such a law has
long been a, crying necessity. Its OPP
Grafton means thousands of arabic and
productive acres added to the farm
area of Iowa. 1t means that thousands Of
ponds and minor lakes which have been
given over to rushes and tadpoies Will
and cattle.
The drainage law is likely to have
more influence on the good roads
problem than any bill presented or
suggested before the legislature. There
is certain to be forced drainage Of
roadside lands which will carry away
water from the highway and permit
the making OF dry dirt roads. In the
rorth central counties especially, the
road making problem. When these
have been drained freely or perforce.
the dirt road problem will have been
simplified. 1t is impossible to maintain
a dry grade without drainage ana
road drainage IS Impossible where the
adjacent fields are allowed to continue
overflowed and swampy. There are
thousands of miles of tile drains III
process OF construction in north and
northwestern Iowa. The drainage law
will add other thousands. The law Is
fairly satisfactory and will be thank
fully greeted by the low counties
where drainage is necessity to prof

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW.

~ rhe suggestion has already been
made in connection with the proposed
sig months clause in the Iowa divorce
laws that 1t is a profitable condition
for the railroads: that instead OF wait
ing six months to wed under the Iowa
law the divorced parties would by a
small expenditure of time and railway
fare slip over the line into an ada
cent state, where the law is not Tn
uaisitiye. and return one flesh. II this
Is practicable the divorce with an
ether man or woman In view would NOT
be seriously checked in matrimonial
career by the six months provision.
All this emphasizes the necessity of
g. uniform divorce law FOR all the states
as a practical remedy for conditions
which in too many cases border on dis
repute and immortality. The difficulty
OF obtaining a United States divorce
law lies largely in the fact that any
attempt to secure a constitutional
amendment is almost certain to be de-
feated. This point was taken up some
years ago and threshed out by a COM
nnittee of the American Bar Associa-
ton and the conclusion arrived at that
the unalterable opposition of the
southern states to further amendment
Of the federal constitution precluded a
national divorce law.
Mr.. Samuel w. Dixie of Boston, sec
rotary Of the National League for the
Protection of the Family, after an in
vestigation of many years into the di.
vorce problem, has reached the con-
clusion that the only practical remed.
is a uniform divorce procedure in all
the states. AS a large number of states
have entered into agreements among
themselves to have uniform laws on
certain subjects. it may be feasible to
secure uniformity in respect to state
laws regarding divorces. Mr.. Dixie
have already enacted the uniform law
relating to negotiable bills" Why
should they not be able to enter into
some arrangement respecting d.
vorces? As matter of fact, however,
this seems to be the subject which has
proved to be the most difficult of all
the topics considered by state COM
missions. 1t is noted that while con-
siderable number of persons go to
other states than those of their origi-
nal residences to obtain divorces, the
number of divorces thus obtained COM
prises a small percentage of the total
number granted yearly in all parts of
the United States The courts of Della
ware, according to Mr.. Dixie, are for
hidden to entertain q suit for divorce
for any cause arising prior to the resi-
derlce of the petitioner in that state
unless it were also ground for d.
vorce in the state where it arose. A
similar law. In his view, might be
adopted with good results by other
states. Mr.. Dixie is convinced that IAN

1t is of great Importance that tbs

To do this it must get a good supply oil
the dams milk very soon after birth.
An old horseman, and a very sue
oessful one. said that a young colt mus.
have milk during the first half hour
after it's birth or he would not give
much for 1t.
The first milk contains purgative
properties and clears the bowels nat
urally If any inclination to constipa-
ton is noticed, little castor oil should
be given.
II the bowels are too loose. feed the
mare sparingly and draw some OF her
milk by hand.
The mare should be kept in quiet
box stall and fed carefully for at least
a week after foaling, after which time
She can be turned In pasture, but only
for short time at first.
When the colt is two months old 1t

There is no speed in hay. If you

a small forkful of hay during a whole

More Sheep Are Needed.

Some one VINO has gone deep into
the matter of the economic features
favorable to the sheep upon the farm
has found that out of some 600 differ
ent varieties of weeds sheep will con-
sumo or destroy over $50. No other
animal on the farm viii do as well. In
fact the horse and members OF the
cattle family are comparatively dainty
in their diet This does not mean that
the sheep desires the unclean. for no
other animal insists probably to 50
marked degree on having it's food
presented to 1t in desirable manner
as this animal.
In measure the sheep are the scav-
engers of the farm. What the hog may
he made to do In the barnyard the
sheep will do in the field, cleaning up
Improbable plants among the weed
family. Farmers who have handled
sheep to any great extent realize this
so well that thousands of them will
not be without flock, even tho it be a
small one.
Turnout the corn belt there are many
sheep, but our observation has been
that there are fewer and smaller flocks
than the farms are abundantly able to
support with profit to their owners.
Frequently has the press called atten-
ton to this deficiency, but the farmers
and stockmen in many cases seem to
be so much taken up with the steer
and the hog that they are unable to
appreciate the fact that there is also a
great opportunity for the flack as well.
We do not believe that any farm is
too small, nor yet too big, but what a
flock of sheep could be supported upon
it with great deal of very acceptable
returns both In good done to the land
and actual money received. In the
NEUROLOGICAL period of the past we are
told of the golden fleece" This is
nothing less than a tribute to the
sheep. Even as far back in the pre-
historic past as the mind is able to
travel we find the flock and its master
We may trace the same animal down
