REGISTER and Pedigree.

A registered hog is always peds-
greed hog, but pedigreed' hog is not
always a registered one. The pedi-
gree. which is form showing the
breeding of the hog, is sent in to the
association whose name is on the
blank and If everything is all right,
this is recorded. The hog then be-
comes a registered one. IL the copy
of the pedigree that you get with your
hog or another just like it. is never
recorded, the hog is not registered, but
might be called pedigreed, tho you will
never be sure that it is just right until
it is accepted for registry by the asso-
citation There are dozens of farmers
in this country that think they are the
owners of registered hogs. when the
truth is that they have only the copy
of the pedigree sent them by the breed
er when they buy the hog. Some breed
ers register the hog when one is
bought from them. but not many dc
so. This may seem like writing at
considerable length on subject that
everyone is supposed to know about
but we find that there are a good
many people who do not understand
this at all.

BRIBERY m CAMPAIGNS.

Democrats and republicans in Indi-
ana have instituted system that 9TH
er partisans might well adopt. In five
Indiana counties. it is reported, agree
ments have been entered into by the
democratic and republican organiza-
tons to refrain from the corrupt use
Of money in elections. The agreement
is that neither party will buy votes
directly OF indirectly; that neither or
ganixation will employ any man known
to be purchaseable or with a view to
influencing his vote and that the Gus
tom of having paid retainers around
party headquarters is to b.. abandoned.
Especially at the present time, the
Indiana idea will appeal directly to
Iowans. Iowa has this year been made
an example of the use of money and
spreferment to corrupt men Of influ-
ence and buy everything from a county

sitons are offered as equivalents for
political treachery and baseness, it is
surely time the Indiana plan or some
other effective system should be in
augurated in Iowa
Iowa needs and should have drastic
anti-ibribery law, effective not only In
elections, but over primaries. The
penalty should be Imprisonment, and
such a provision should become part
of the statewide primary law that this
state will enact at the next meeting of
its assembly.

According to the statements of

Influence of Rane on Soil.

Rape is deep-rooting plant which
commonly makes a vigorous growth
and it will add considerable organic
matter to the soil even if pastured off,
says DR.. c. G. Hopkins in the Breed
ers' Gazette. 1t requires large quanti-
ties of plant food, nitrogen, phosphor-
Gus and potassium, all of which must
be taken from the soil because rape is
not a legume crop.
AS the roots and stubble and manure
from rape decay in the soil much of the
plant food which has been taken up by
the rape becomes available for sue
ceeding crops, and the decaying or
ganic matter also has power to liberate
additional supplies of mineral plant
food from the soil.
On the ordinary corn-belt soil Of H.
linois the principal effect upon sue
ceeding crops Of corn of all green man
ure plants, including clover, is due to

The Nevada Representative is mot
less earnest than anyone else in the
sentiment that Governor Cummins
ought to be defeated for denomination
and that delegates who are against him
ought not to be kept out Of the con-
vention by means of meritless con-
tests; but unless there shall be against
him enough delegates who have in their
favor the presumptions of regular ere
dentials to make up majority of the
convention, then he is the choice of
the party, and that fact, however
distasteful, will have to be endured.
Uponsthe other hand if he cannot win
by the same rule, 1t is time for him to
retire. In either case the victory or de-
feat will be only for two years, and it is

Money ia Brood Sows.

Some recent sales of some very COM
mon sows and pigs for what seems to
ME to be very high prices opened my
eyes to the possibilities of this bust
ness. and 1 recall several other times
when they sold very high. Some OF
these sows brought several times what
they would if fed out. For instance,
sows weighing from 150 to $50 pounds,
with litters of from six to nine pigs,
bring $40 to $25, while a few with
larger filters ruled higher. Fattened
out. they would not have brought over
$40 or S12, and would have consumed a
great deal more of feed. If we would
select some of the sows out of the herd
that we are to feed and breed them to
a good boar considerably more money
could be made with less feed and less
work. Often, too, we can buy some fine
old brood sows that are on their way to
market and could be bought low, for
thew are considerably lower on the
market. Many a good brood sow is con-
signed to the slaughter house before
her usefulness along this line is ended.

The best families of horses, whether

tors, inbreeding being largely prac-
ticed Breeding close to the Messen-
ger blood, thru Hambletonian. has GER
tainly increased the speed of our trot-
tiers, and, admitting that the Instinct
of trotting has been more firmly in1-
pressed. yet there is much larger
proportion of failures, compared with
the success attained, if the fact is con :
sidered that the number of the whole
is many times greater than that of half
a century ago. The form of the trot-
ter, as we'll as that of the thorough
bred. shows plainly the work of in
breeding for while the spirit and VIII
force have been increased, 1t has re-
uuired an occasional infusion of new
blood (not, however, altogether for
eign) to retain the stamina so essen
tial to roadsters. The thoroughbred
runner of today is largely indebted to
Diomed, Sir Archy Glencoe and Lex
ington for Improvement in endurance
and speed.
The mutton breeds of sheep are now
capable of producing specimens eX-
ceeding 400 pounds live weight. with
also an increase in length of wool and
weight of fleece while the best meri-
nos can shear over 30 pounds.
Every decade has witnessed the
breaking of records among all classes
of animals. which is the best evidence
that Improvement is rapid, much of the
success being due to inbreeding, a sys-
tenn that is unsafe unless practiced by
one who fully understands the selection
of the choicest individuals, their adap-
tation to circumstances and the OBJ
iects sought to be accomplished.
