Hoo Notes.

Glover makes the cheapest and best
pasturage for growing pigs.
A young SOW should not be bred to
farrow her first litter before she is a
year old.
Glover pasture is not only healthy
food, but a very nutritious one for
growing pigs.
Keep the growing pigs in thrifty
condition, so that they can be readily
tattened later on.
Feeding to the pigs is one of the best
ways of disposing of small and imper-
feet fruits and potatoes.
Pigs will make the most rapid gain
by feeding literally with grain while
there is good pasturage.
Wheat middlings made into a slop
with milk makes good milk-produc-
ing food for a SOW that is milking a
litter of pigs.
The aim in keeping stock should be
TO secure the largest and most rapid
gain in the shortest time; this is espe-
cially the case with hogs.

A UNIVERSAL STABLE REMEDY.

If it could be left to a vote of the horse
owners over this country to determine what
the most valuable stable remedy is, the
one that is available to treat the most OF
the characteristic horse ailments, and
which would effect the most speedy and
permanent cures, do not think there
is much doubt about the result. We believe
KendalPs SPAWN Cure would be chosen by
almost common consent including thous-
ands of persons who have been using this
horse remedy continuously for many years
1t would include people who have used it
every year since it's original compromising
by DIR. b. J. Kendall, and have continued
it's use ever since. The simple truth is
that no remedy has ever been found to
take the place of Kendalls SPAWN Cure
1t is the remedy for spavins, ringbones,
curbs, splints, wounds, in fact all the most
common ailments of the horse. What other
remedy has been widely used, or has
continued for many years? What other
remedy for the horse can be found where
ever there is drug store? People have
learned to know by using it and the de-
mand exists everywhere. OF course it is
generously advertised-an adj is to be
found now in columns, but no claim
is made for it that is not borne out by
those who always keep it hand 1t

Concerning the Brood Sow.

ne feeding and care of the brood
GOV is one of the most important Oper-
atilns connected with the swine in
dus.ry. In many sections the first
error is made in permitting the young
gill to remain in the fattening pens
until the salable hogs are ready for
market This is sure to be more or
less injurious to the digestive system,
which. in breeder, should not be
abused by the feeding of the wrong
foods. Furthermore, gifts that are fat
tened so rapidly have deposited about
the generative organs massive portions
of tat. The blood system is developed
for supplying blood to the fat and
the result is that the generative or
CANS are likely to suffer. Often, the
injury is a permanent one, and when
the sows are valuable the loss is
double one.
Perhaps the best method to pursue
is that of selecting the gifts out of
the salable herd and of turning them
into large pasture of fall rye or rape.
This should be done before the feed
inc of the fat hogs takes place. The
gifts may now be fed on ground oats,
shorts or house Stops. Corn should be
used sparingly, but bit, if judiciously
used, is not harmful.
Exercise is conducive to the best de-
velopment of the gifts and it also
puts them into the best of condition
for breeding purposes A rOomy
pasture with heritage in all parts is
worth more than the feed found upon
it. Exercise aids in developing the
flesh, as we'll as does feeding. 1t should.
therefore, be induced in one way or
another This with proper feed and
a good bed should make them do we'll.

PortIand's Live Stock Show.

The live stock show and contests will

the result will be participation on a

the present ample acreage anoted to

dollars has been apportioned for prizes

the United States and foreign coun-
tries finished the work Thursday for
which the meeting was called; ar

appointed by the chair. was given full
power to organize and promote the
work for which the convention as
sembled.
The resolutions adopted advocate a
maximum and minimum tariff as
means of relieving the situation with
which this country is confronted and
suggest that such reciprocal conces-
sions be arranged by a permanent
tariff commission, to be created by
congress and to be appointed by the
president
The principal speaker at Thurs

sons were killed, one fatally injured
and about thirteen more or less in

car filled with returning merrymakers
from the Columbia Gardens and
freight train on the Butte, Anaconda

Mrs. Sadie Smith; Maggie Keefe, aged
nineteen, Butte; Vera Haughton, aged
fourteen, Butte; Chris Wold and an
unidentified man and woman.
Loaded with passengers, many of
them women and girls, the car was
struck by the end of freight train
on the railroad tracks north of the
Butte, Anaconda and Pacific depot and
crushed beneath the weight of one
freight car. That more of those on
the car were not killed is miraculous,
for the accident occurred with sud-
denness that precluded any hope Of
escape for those on the front end of
the car. Most of them were women
and young girls and six of these were
killed, the other two victims being
men.
The train which struck the street
car was composed of fourteen freight
cars, being pushed east on the tracks
by Butte, Anaconda and Pacific en-
