DISCARD sARBEp WIRE FENCE
injury to Live Stock, Especially
Horses, Has Brought It In
to Disfavor.

Barb wire should not be used as a
fence on any farm, declares the Farm
ers' Review. There was time when
II was extensively used In all parts of
the country, but now the smooth wire
has driven out barbed wire very
largely. except on the western ranches.
It is only occasionally now we see
barbed wire used for fencing in I'LL
nois and adjacent states. Here and
there, however, farmer still clings
to the old wire. There is one farm
about 20 miles from Chicago where a
part of the business is pasturing
horses. The horse pasture there is
fenced in with barbed wire. But 1t
is very probable that the men who send
their horses to be pastured have no
idea that barbed wire Is used for fenc-
ing. '..-- s--.,g--- t.es,.--
The barb on the wire is of no value
to an animal until he learns by being
wounded that 1t inflicts pain. II in
flicts pain by causing a wound. Blood
poisoning sometimes sets In from
wounds Of this kind, and the animal
dies. All kinds of animals have been
terribly cut up by barbed wire fences.
Mich cows have had their udders laid
open by trying to climb over such
fences. Even when the top wire is a
smooth one horses frequently get
barbed wire wounds in their legs
This kind of wound is most COM
mon. The horses push their legs
through the wire, and the wound is
made in trying to draw the foot out.
Some OF our states have laws
against placing barbed wire fences
along the highways, but in many 10.
callties these laws are unknown or
disregarded. The barbed wire fences
cost rs much as the smooth wire IL we
take into consideration the greater
trouble of handling the wire and of
putting It up. Doubtless many a man
has been scratched and blood poison
ing has ensued from handling this
wire. The only difference in cost is
less than the difference in price OF
the two wires. Smooth wire may be
taken down and put up again with a
great deal Of facility, but barbed wire
is very difficult to change from one
location to another after II has been
once put up. We are glad TO note that
the sentiment against barbed wire is
growing. The time will come when II
will not be used either in thickly set
tied states or in sparsely settled ones.

HOG HELPS.

A good SOW In perfect health always
loses flesh while sucking a litter OF
pigs and needs to be well fed.
Usually the hogs with coarse, straight
hair will not fatten near so rapidly as
the one with the soft, fine hair.
AS a rule aged brood sows are the
most prolific, the best mothers and
produce the most vigorous offspring.
The thumps In pigs is often caused
by an excess of fat about the internal
organs and especially around the
heart.
Every farrowing SOW should have a
shelter to herself and be put in Il in
time to get acquainted with her sur
roundings.
To make hogs most profitable a
steady daily gain must be secured from
the time the pig is farrowet until II is
marketed.
Pigs often lack vigor because the
brood sows are kept too fat. A good,
thrifty condition Is much better for
the pigs than too much fat.
Give the pigs fair start In life by
feeding the SOW upon milk producing
rations. There Is nothing much bet
ter than skim milk mixed with shorts.
All waste from the kitchen are
wholesome and suitable as food for
pigs, but q swill barrel that 10 never
empty and never clean impairs the
system Of hog and his owners prof
lts.

Of The Prairie Farmer in Livingston
county, Michigan. His loading chute
is built at the side of the scale house,
so that when the hogs or sheep have
been weighed the door can be readily
opened and the animals urged out into
the chute and then driven into the
wagon.
In building a chute in this way the
matter of measurements must be gov.
erned largely by condition. The height
must be according to the wagon. II
will be well to have considerable
length, so that the slant will not be
too great.
Strong posts must be set in the

Out into the open air he swaggered,
his band behind him, and White Horse
heard them go roaring down the ice
road with nearly the whole camp en-
train. And as the last yell died away
the forehead of the walking boss
wrinkled like pool into which pebble

crew would scatter from the 500 to Stur-

had come, and White Horse, arising,
walked to the window and stood mood
lily staring into the silent woods.
Within the log saloon six miles down
the road the noise of the revelry arose
in ever increasing volume.
The door of the shack suddenly
opened and the tall form of White
Horse lowered before them. Calmly
but with each word forceful as a bull

FEEDING TANKACE TO HOGS
What the Experiments at the Michi-
gan Experiment Station
Demonstrated.

Often a farmer feels the need OF
something that will take the place
Of or else help out the skim milk
portion Of the ration for pigs. Up in
Michigan creameries and cheese fac.
tories have been making serious in.
roads into the supply Of skim milk
on the farm. The farmers have seen
fit to sell this product, and at the
same time desire to raise pigs. How
to sell their milk and yet at the same
time raise their pigs successfully has
been a problem with many of them.
The state experiment station has
come to their assistance in an EFFORT
to provide a link for the gap. In
Bulletin 237. just issued, Shaw shows
what he has been able to do with
digester tankage. which is a packing
house product. After a number OF
experiments Shaw has reached con-
clusions which are substantially as
follows:
1. The gains were greater in every
case where tankage was used In the
ration fed to the pigs.
a. Inc gains OF the pigs were more
marked as the feeding period was
prolonged. showing that the digester
taken not only made good gains. but
agreed we'll with the pigs.
g. In every test made the pigs
which had the tankage made the
cheapest gains. though In one or two
cases better gains we're made with
the milk.
The tankage used in this expert
ment as sold by leading packer at
the Union stockyards, Chicago. II
was guaranteed to contain 60 per
cent. protein, 10 per cent. fat and 9
per cent. phosphorus. The cost to the
station was $32.50 a ton. The corn
meals used was valued at $50 per ton,
middlings $50 per ton, and skim
milk 20 cents per hundredweight.

| HELD n fLAMlNG MAIIlt ABONE II.
| suddenly came into the gray orbs of
the boss, and roughly he shouldered
his way to the back Of the shack and
drew a small cylinder from his
pocket.

ute tail" he said as he sat IL upon the
wood box and held a flaming match
above II. you want to dance and fight

hike out of here you'll all be doing

No man knew just how far White
Horse would go in the enforcement OF
an order, and now none waited to see.
Struggling, cursing, roaring they fought
their way out of the door and went
swarming down the track, while the
boss, extinguishing the fuse, stepped
out on to the trampled snow and threw
his cartridge deep into the woods. Far
down the track the runaways were stag
gering into the distance. wrangling and
bowling insanely.
The afternoon sun sank until II
seemed to rest on the tops of the west
ern forest like broad gold piece poised
delicately. And the walking boss, aris-
ing from q log beside his cutter where
he had sat for an hour following the
rout, climbed up to the seat. Back along
the rough woods trail he went until the
cleaning ice road lay before him, then
turned upon 1t.
AS his half-galloping ponies swung
around a bend of the forest road, they
suddenly arose upon their hind legs
with wild pawings at the air. Less than
a dozen yards In front of them and ly-
ing fat upon his back on the ice, was
the first of the fallen that White Horse
had feared would litter the homeward
route.
The legs of the lumber-jack kicked
spasmodically and White Horse, short
ening his reins, leaped to the ice. Cant
leave you here to freeze up solid," he
grunted as he dumped the limp form
headlong into the sleigh box behind.
But I'll make you pay for this ride to-
morrow"
At the next turn of the road tho
first oath that had escaped his lips
that day burst from him explosively.
Fairly In front of him, locked In each

sleep fighting, were Jimmp Hard Boots
and Ole Sawlog. Along the next hun.
dred yards four more men were strewn
like skirmishers fallen in battle.
One by one the walking boss labori-
ously raised them and piled them upon
each other In the box, wedging the last
man firmly between the dashboard and
the seat
The moon sailed high and the black
shadows of the forest lay heavily upon

San Francisco, Dec. S.--ln an inter view published in the Call Friday bearing on the recommendation made in his message by President Roose- welt on Japanese naturalization and on the segregation of their children in schools, Gen Uyeno, the consul for Japan here says:
 Sentiment is practically universal among the 10000 Japanese in San Franciso that the recommendations made by the president constitute the most rational solution of American Japanese problems yet attempted There is no question that the bonds between Japan and the United Statea would be considerably strengthened by comforting the privilege of fran chise on the Japanese in California.
 There are some 50,000 Japanese in the state and while l am not in a position to say how many of these could.take advantage of naturalization privileges, I do not think that the number would be comparatively large,
 Concerning the school segregation question, a lot is being written and talked about it that is due to miscon- ception of the facts in the case. think that the entire matter will be solved satisfactorily. The Japanese are not striving for anything unreason- able and are quite willing to let the facts in the dispute guide whatever decision is to be ultimately rendered."
