Advance sheets of the Dec. issue
received by The Journa from
Golfers Weekly contain the long ex>

against fairness and morality in the
great game of football. Since Edward
S. Jordan. employed by Golfers as
the Anthony Comstock of the gridiron
game, visited Minneapolis some weeks
ago to secure material, business men,
alumni and undergraduates have been
wondering what damning evidence Of

tion with the Minnesota athletics.
Aside from the general charge that
athletic young men desirous Of work
ing their way thru college have been
helped to secure employment, Mr.. Jor-
dan does not appear to have found
much here. He does, however, deeply
deprecate the commercial spirit Of Min

Middies Never Punished.

The witness stated that he had been
awarded five demerits, but the offense
was joining in a disturbance and not
participating in the fight. He haI

punished for fight.
Humphrey told of a conversation
which he recently had with Captain
Colvocoresses, commanding the midship-
men. In that conversation Humphrey,
as class president, discussed fighting,
but he said Captain Colvocoresses only

Of which Midshipman Branch was a
member, and Branch IS second in the
twenty-three round fight, as result of
which Meriwether is on trial for man
slaughter. Humphrey testified about
the fight, the first day Of the trial,
for the prosecution. He was called
today by Lieutenant Commander Rob-
inson to tell what he knew Of the
system.
Humphrey testified that he had par
ticipated as an official in large
number of fights and had been prin
cipal in four. He told the court OF
fight between two second-classmer
last summer on the trainingship At
lanta. Humphrey was referee and was
summoned before the commanding Officer
of the ship, Captain Halsey, in connec
tion with the fight. The commanding
officer asked if the fight was fair, and
if the men had shaken hands. Informed
that it was, he said that insomuch q:
in many cases it was necessary to have
fights between midshipmen Of differen
classes, fights between midshipmen O.

quently happens they are the means
of curing members of both sexes in
the same family. Take the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Erby. The latter
voices the sentiment of both when
she says:

Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kid

Develop Frames.

1t is desirable to develop the
frames of the young pigs, and
for this reason they should not be
fed on too much corn. Those that
have begun to awake to the danger OF
feeding too much corn to breeding
pigs, that is, pigs intended to be de.
veloped into breeders later, yet make
the mistake of beginning the too early
feeding of a corn ration to the pigs
intended for pork. The latter must
have good strong bones or they may
''go down behind" long before they
have reached the end of the fattening
period. We have seen hogs that had
been fed on corn alone for months
SO weak in the bones that long before
the slaughtering day came they could
NOT stand on their hind legs. Develop
the frame and strong one and finish

Hunting Bad Elaxors.

The farmer that sells his butter to
the corner grocer has little trouble
with what are known as "favors-" II
his butter has all kinds of f1avors he
is likely never to hear from it, because
the butter goes into the same lot with
other butter and loses its identity
Not so the farmer that delivers his
butter to select customers, who gener-
ally pay him something above the rul-
ing price for it. If his butter develops
havors not desired by the consumers,
the maker is sure to hear from it.
In such a case it is of little use to
attempt to reason with the consumer
whether or not they are mistaken.
The best way is to assume that the
customers have grounds for their
complaints and begin looking for the
source of the bad odors. careful in
spection should be made of the part
of the farmhouse in which the cream
is kept and the butter churned. II

and milk vessels in which the milk is

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease In miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
birth.

E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.

Every househeeper should know
that If they Will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time, because 1t

each package contains 16 ozone full

Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals- If your grocer tries to sell you

q stock on hand which he wishes to

He knows that Defiance Starch has

Hellebore.

This is one of our best insecticides
for use in checking currant worm and
asparagus beetle. 1t has the adj
vantages of not being highly poison
Gus, though it is poisonous to
some extent and should be kept
away from children and animals.
1t can be scattered on the wet bush
es or may be dissolved in water for
sprinkling on dry bushes. This latter
is probably the best way to use it and
the way in which there will be least
waste. 1t is so effective that it is a
wonder that anyone will try to keer
down the worms by Manipulating.

The Steer on Feed.

To make good gains, steers should
be kept in absolute quiet. Anything
which tends to rouse them or make
them nervous interferes very serious
ly with their gain in weight. 1t should
also be noted that they are free from
lice, as lousy steer will not make
the best use of his food. Cleanliness
with regard to managers is extremely
important, and the animals should be
fed only what they viii eat up clean
before leaving the manager.

Pig WEAVING Points.

When pigs are some three weeks
old they should be given a blood warm
slop made with skim milk and mid
dlings. Adding a little blood meal will
show good results. This must be fed
in a small trough to which the mother
has no access. The little fellows will
not eat much at three weeks of age,
yet we generally begin to feed them
then and think it desirable to do so.
After six weeks the pigs will eat
fairly well and many then wean them.
This is really too soon. They should
stay with their mothers till they are
at least eight weeks old. 1t is very
seldom that some are not weaker than
others, and it is good plan to remove
the strong ones and let the weaker
ones suck a few weeks longer. This
will make the whole lot more even,
and they will sell better in the fall.
When weaving the pigs do not pen
them, but give them all the freedom
possible.
For several years we have let our
pigs run with their mothers until the
old sows undertook the weaving them
selves. Pigs treated in this way will
make a remarkable growth. OF course
when a fall litter is to be raised such
are able to feed our sows cheaply with
skim milk and pasture, otherwise it
might be cheaper to separate the pigs
from the sows after eight weeks and
fatten and sell them as soon as pos
sible.-T. A. Strohschein, Winnebagc

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought
under the jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. A rail-
road president is authority for the
statement that lines are paid mileage,
without discrimination, and the ques-
ton of excessive charges is a matter
for the shipper to settle with the car
lines, so long as there} is no law to
govern their rates. Car mileage pay
ing has been decided to be as legal as
the payment of rental for property.
