The CARE OF SWINE.
Properly Fed and Handled, the RiE
Is "a Money Maker.

From observation and the methods
hear many farmers advocate il looks
as if it would be some time Yet before
the average pig will get an opportunity
10 show his Importance as a money
maker, writes farmer in National
farmer say that he put his SOW up in Il
rail pen and fed her corn and that he
allowed the pigs TO go in and out at
will. Another said that his plan was
10 feed his sows and pigs plenty Of
corn. Now these men were perfectly
honest in their views, but it is evident
that they had not made hog raising
much of study.
In order TO get most out of the
pigs il is necessary to make them
grow quite rapidly from start to finish
1t takes certain amount TO keep the
animal body living, and the profit all
lies i'm the amount of food above this
that will be appropriated to growth
and the production Of fat. The amount
of food that will keep two pigs just
living will, il fed TO one pig, make II
grow quite rapidly. There is n profit
from feeding it TO one, while feeding
il to two pigs is n clear loss, since
there is no growth.
But the amount of food is not all the
consideration. \ growing pig must not
only have q sufficient amount of food,
but 1t must be in proper ratio-that
is. it must he well balanced-in order to
give best results. Two or three differ
ent kinds of feed will give better re-
suits than a single grain ration. y
corn ration will give better results
where the pigs have the run of good
pasture than where they are confined
TO small lot, but have always failed
TO get good results from n corn ration
exclusively. One of the best grain ra-
tions that | have used is corn and
bucllwheat ground together in equal
parts and mixed with an equal amount
of middlings. ! have tried feeding
the sows ahd pigs three times day
and also have tried feeding only twice
day. The three times day feeding
seems to rush the pigs along n little
faster, but not enough to pay for the
extra trouble when other work is push
ing.

undeceive IN, because the result is an
animal lacking weight, muscular de-

result would have been n general pur-

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.
Governor Hoch Issues a Proclamation
at Request of G. A. r.

Governor Hoch, at the request OF
the state G. A. r. officials, has issued
his Memorial day proclamation. It is
an unusually fioWery document. 1t is
az follows:
"On the 3Oth of every recurring
May, when the air is fragrant with the
perfume of flowers and vocal with the
melody Of birds and all nature gives
sanction to the beautiful and sacred
custom, great and grateful people
turn aside from their varied and vari-
Gus duties to honor the memory of the
brave men who, in the dark days Of
the SOS, took their guns and lives in
their hands and went forth to do and
dare and die, if need were, that this
government of the people and by the
people and for the people might not
perish from the earth. and wherever
floats the flag they loved so we'll the
deeds of these heroes of ours are
cherished memories and their graves
are hallOWed spots.
THE sweetest flower that buds and
blossoms in the human heart is
gratitude. and Memorial day is its ma
tiOnal conservatory. On this day let
the pathway of our living heroes be
strewn with these tokens of apprecia-
ton and the graves of their sleeping
comrades be powered with nature s
sweetest enbIenns and moistened with
gratitude's tenderest tears. Let it not
be a day of frivolity and frOlic, but a
day of serious reelection and of solemn
observance as becOmeth a. thoughtful
intelligent and patriotic people. In
harmony with these sentiments De-
partment Commander Charles Harris
has issued general order No. s, asking
for the proper ObSerVanceS of this
sacred memorial, first, with religious
services on the Sunday preceding
Memorial day, and with the customary
exercises on the occasion most popu-
larry known as Decoration day, with
which request I am in hearty sym
pathy. In testimony whereof have
hereunto subscribed my name and
caused to be affixed the great seal of
the state of Kansas. Done at the
state capitol, in the city of Topeka,

CHILD A PRISONER.
Little Lawrence Williams Fastened in
Gable Box for Two Hours.

When the telephone people go out to
the corner Of Euclid avenue and Warren
street today they will ind lying beside
the road a badly demolished cable box, all
that remains to tell the story of a re-
markable accident that befell little Law
renee Williams on Saturday afternoon.
This huge cable box is lying in front of
the house where Lawrence Williams and
his sister live As is generally known, the
boxes are of very massive constructions
The sides are made of four thicknesses of
inch boards nailed together and the edges
of the sides is Il round hole about two
inches in diameter, through which an iron
turn over and over as the cable IS IN
wound. The construction gang had I'M
wound all the cable from the box and left
It empty by the roadside.
Lawrence Williams little sister took his
cap away from him and as a joke pushed
it down this round hole into the inside of
the empty drum. Lawrence discovered
that the only way to get his cap was to
go after it through the hole. He rolled his
arm through the hole. When he had got
his arm inside the box he was just able
to touch the cap, and he worked indus
triously to get hold of 1t. Finally ne got
the missing headgear in his fingers, and
started to withdraw his arm. He couldn t
move. The rough edges of the hole had
sWelled his arm and he was glued fast to
the top of the box. The more Lawrence
struggled and yelled the more his arm
sWelled and the faster he stuck. His lit
tie sister was also weeping and dancing
about the box in a state of helpless fright
at her brothers predicament.
After while the little girl hunted UP
some Washburn college students who
roomed nearby, and they found augers,
saws and axes. 1t proved to be q very
difficult matter to get the boys arm free.
After working nearly two hours the relief
party mana ged to bore a hole through the
side of the box near the boys arm and
then with a key-hole saw. some chisels
and jack knife, to gradually enlarge the
hole.
At about o'clock. after being in the
trap since about in the afternoon, the
boy was released.
The entertainment drew a large and at
/ tentive audience of people living in the
vicinity. The boy seemed none the worse
for his adventure, except that he has a
badly bruised arm.

anese had only two hundred casualties,
while dead and wounded Russians were
all over the field. During the rest of
the day the Japanese were occupied
hunting for Russians in all the sur
rounding country. They had broken up
into small parties, were fleeing in every
direction, some trying to get back to
Mukden, others to find roads of escape
northward, and many hiding in the "a
vines and in Chinese houses. However
brave they were in fighting when cor

We're unnerved by the strain of long
fighting, but the SibeTians enlisted earl
Ter in the war bore themselves with the
dignity of soldiers. Whether the Euro
pean troops who have been sent to the
east are the best quality Of the Russian
army there is no means Of judging but
certainly they have not compared favor
ably in physique or fighting qualities
with the Siberians. particularly the East
Siberian sharpshooters. That is the
opinion of the Japanese officers.
The total of prisoners taken that day
was nearly four thousand. They were a
fierce and savage looking crowd, all
wearing big black or white sheepskin
hats, many in dirty fur coats, most of
them heavily bearded all unWaShed for
days. Among the officers were several
old men, one of them a veteran Of the
Russo-Turkish war with a white beard
hanging to his waist, who gave his age
as seventy-two. The next morning they
went down the road in a big cloud OF
dust a long and picturesque procession
of detected looking moujiks, with their
officers riding in Chinese carts, ana
ieering Manchurians running along the
tanks, to join the army of Russians IN
Japan which now numbers nearly a
hundred thousand

sNODDY CHALLENGES 1T.
Claims That the New Judicial District
Law Isn't Valid.

Col. ]. D. Snoddy of Linn county
has challenged the validity of the law
passed by the last legislature creating
a new judicial district to be known as
the Thirty eighth. and to consist of
Crawford county. The bill was passed
in an omnibus by the house. and re-
ceiVed So votes. It takes a fraction
over 50 votes to constitute a constitu-
tiOnal majority, and it seems to be
doubtful whether the courts will hold
that the fra ctiona1 vote was necessary.
or in other words that 81 votes should
have been cast for the measure to
make it a law.
The new Thirty-eighth district was
to be created because of the large in
crease in business in the present Sixth
district which is composed Of Bour-
bon, Linn and Crawford counties
Bourbon and Linn were to be left in
the Sixth. and Crawford put in a new
district by itself.
It is thought likely that Governor
HOch Will go ahead and appoint the
judge when the bill becomes a law on
its publication in the statute book It
will then be up to somebody to bring
a test case in the supreme court to
decide whether the appointment is
valid.
The politicians say that Arthur
Fuller is slated to get the place of
judge in case the law is found to be
good.
