/ were chosen, so as to compare the
gains made by the sows with the gains
made by the barrows.
The experiment was divided into
two sixty-day periods. During the first
60 days the four lots were fed as fol-
lows:
Lot 1. Corn meal and separator
skim milk, four pounds of skim milk
TO one pound Of corn meal.
Lot 2. Corn meal and water; en-
ough water was added TO make good
slop.
Lot 3. Middlings and separator skim
milk, four pounds of skim milk to one
pound of middlings.
Lot 4. Middlings and water; en-
ough water was added to make a good
slop.
During the second sixty day period
the four lots were fed s-s follows:
Lot 1. Same as before.
Lot 2. Corn meal and skim milk.
Lot g. Corn meal, middlings and
skim milk (half corn meal and half
middlings).
Lot 4. Corn meal ard skim milk.
The cost of the corn meal, middHngs
and skim milk was rated as follows:
Corn meal 81 per hundred pounds.
Middlings $1.20 per hundred pounds.
Skim milk $1.15 per hundred pounds.
During the first sixty day period lot
gained 3S1.5 pounds at a cost of 4.32
cents per pound of gain: lot 2 gained
154 pounds at cost of 6.5 cents per
pound Of gain; lot gained 1854 pounds
at a cost of 7.41 cents per pound of
gain; lot gained 80 pounds at cost
Of 9.43 cents per pound of gain.
During the second sixty day period
lot 1 gained 406 pounds at a cost of
SAP cents per pound CT gain; lot 2
gained 449 pounds at cost of 4.29
cents per pound of gain; lot gained
157 pounds at cost of 7.64 cents per
pound Of gain; lot 4 gained 347.5
pounds at cost of 4.83 cents per
pound Of gain.
During the first sixty day period
there was an average gain Of "a
pounds in favor of the sows, and dur
ing the second sixty day period there
was an average gain Of 1925 pounds in
favor Of the barrows, but for the two
periods there was an average gain Of
1O.1 pounds in favor Of the barrows.
The following conclusions are taken
from the experiment..
/. The pigs receiving. corn meal and
separator skim milk were the most
hearty feeders and made the best
gains.
2. The cost per pound of gain was
over two cents cheaper where skim
milk was fed with corn meal and mid
dlings.
8. Corn meal produced much better
gains and at cost Of 2.93 cents cheap
er than middlings.

In tackling job Of that kind, we fear
Mr. Hostetter shows more courage
than discretion. The Anti-Saloon
League has been doing effective work
not only in Iowa, but in other states
in the way Of enforcing law and has
been able to do this work because 1t
was omni-partisan, that is, takes into
it's membership men of all parties
who are in favor of law enforcement.
We do not know what Mr.. Hostetters

THANKFuLNEss AND TURKEY.

TO the average family Thanksgiving
without turkey is like the Fourth or
rJuly without noise. The spirit OF
khankfulness walks hand in hand with
the ghosts Of turkeys. Goose and
chicken are mere makeshifts. All the
later memories and tradition Of past
rhanksgivings are redolent of turkey
and taste Of cranberry sauce. There
Is no smell Of goose grease upon the
garments Of the past. They breathe
of turkey hastings and bear about the
seductive fragrance of oyster dressing.
The puritans long ago passed out of
the day we celebrate tomorrow and
left little popular regret behind them,
but when the turkey leaves Thanks
giving the day is in its decadence. And
the noble bird is going. Tomorrow
Instead Of the Thanksgiving bird,
nlebeian geese and common barnyard
mems. the parvenus Of poultry, will
force their way to the table of those
who must make choice between ton
of hard coal and turkey. The fact is
the turkey has ceased to be common
er, is aping the airs OF the new rich,
and holding himself at prohibitive
prices. He is creature Of corners and
combinations He is going the right
way about to lose his popularity. No
bird can retain the affection Of the
American people at rs cents pound.
The turkey must reform or go, and
with the turkey goes thankfulness. AS
well attempt to celebrate Burns birth
day lacking whisky and haggis, as
thanksgiving without turkey.
The scarcity of turkeys is attributed
10 wet springs and the consequent loss
of young birds by exposure. The facts
are, that the prosperity of the country
has had much to do with it. The farm
wife no longer struggles to raise
Aock of turkeys, to sell at dollar
apiece in the fall She gets the money
she needs in an easier fashion. Also
the establishment of poultry houses by
the big packing firms in every town of
importance, whose buyers rake the
farms for poultry, has done much to
make poultry scarce, and high. where
1t is most bred and raised. Farm wives
raise chickens because they are easily
cared for and meet ready sale. They
refuse to bother with the erratic tur-

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

"How would 1t do" suggests the
Iowa City Republican to invent some
kind of a badge to indicate a student

portant subjects rather than beef

eff people could cast so many votes
by hand, what would they have done
had machines been used" wonderingly
queries the Mason City Times-Herald?
AS the Sioux City Journal sees it.
"The issue the republican party is call
ed upon to face does not so much re-
late to rates as it does to principle. 1t
is not denied that the existing tariff
law has produced revenue and prosper
ity. 1t is puerile to ask if it is desired
to get in the way of confidence and
good times. Certainly there are no re-
publicans who want to do this, and 1T
is improbable If there is a man any
where in the country who voted for
Roosevelt who has any such desire.
Then why not abandon all thought of
tariff changes? The answer to that is
that the people believe changes should
be made. and they want to know
whether the party to which they have
given their confidence can make
apart from the consent and approval
of special interests"
"It takes more than overwhelming
majorities in any locality to carry thru

CHARACTER.

Harden County Citizen.1
Character is neither made nor lost IN
a day. That which takes lifetime and
generations to create can not be chang
ed by some presto change performance.
We may think that we will make few
strange incantations and evolve FULL
grown saint out of a devil, but saints
are not thus made. We may Imagine
that by some sudden change of mind
in the twinkling of an eye out OF a LIE
Of sin comes a hallowed and sanct1ed
soul, But it's not so. OF such material
are hyprocrites made. A man who Is a
liar, or a thief, or an immoral wretch
can not erase the record In a day. BY
this it is not to be inferred that every
effort toward improvement is not desir-
able. The man or woman who is both
born and reared wrong has terrible
conflict raging within the soul, pro-
yided a conscience remains. They have
to battle thru life with tremendous
odds against them. Every effort that
tends toward a better character ought
to be utilized, and they are entitled to
the help of every man and woman who
has any regard for the teaching
Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Character is neither made nor lost IN
a day. If it were not so, of what con-
sequence is it to strive to do right! or
what use would it be to spend life
time trying to live correct life! II II

of the world and the murderers STAY

not so, the man who lives lifetime
of honor and integrity but who errs

cARElEssNEss BREEDS ANARCHY.

That 1t Is only step from care
1essness to crime, from neglect Of civic
duties to anarchy was illustrated in
Omaha yesterday when dynamttards
blew in the front Of the residence of
an attorney whose duty it had been
the state. 1t was deliberate attempt
on the part Of the lawless element OF
Omaha to kill the laws in the person
Of the man whose activity as an adj
vocate Of decent government had an
noyed and impeded the business of the
underworld, a business that includes
gambling, theft. prostitution and every
other vice and immortality by which
money may be gained. The attack
upon Thomas was declaration of war
made by anarchists against law. 1t
was notice served by the saloons, gam
blers, prostitutes and thugs that fur
Their interference with their nefarious
traf1c will bring swift punishment. 1t
was the last protest Of crime against
law and order. The toughs mean to
keep on owning Omaha.
And they have owned 1t. That city
has been headquarters for criminals
OF every class. They have been pro-
tected there The police have been
hand and glove with them. They con-
trolled city politics and made and UNI
made from street sweeper to mayor.
Their commanders sat in Omaha and
Huided and planned and received the
spoil Of robbers and yeggmen and pet
ty thieves and swindlers and Omaha
fences disposed of it. The police
knew it and the people knew it.
Omaha was headquarters. The jobs
were done mostly outside. The SAL
oons, the brothels, and the gaming
houses profited. The police also prof.
tied. The crooks multiplied. They
controlled wards and dictated appoint
ments. The time came when they
owned Omaha. Their attempt to kill
Thomas is in defense Of their property
rights.
There is no lack Of decent men in
Omaha or any other town, but there
Is a dearth of men who are willing to
oppose crime if they profit by 1T or IL
their opposition is likely to detract
from their own place or popularity. 1t
Il not the crooks and criminals that
are most to blame for the conditions
that exist in cities, but the careless ana
cowardly among business men and
ordinary citizens to waom attending
to their own business means allowing
license to vice so long sls it keeps out
Of their own front yards. These men
and conditions are not confined to
Omaha. but exist wherever crime Is
profitable whether the town be great
or small. The careless and the cow
ardly are responsible for the graft they
eondone.
Omaha may now in 9, spasm of re-
form clean out its dives and rescue its
rity government from the hands OF
criminals. other towns and other cit
items should accept the warning with
mt waiting for the anarchist and his
bomb.
