Ricketts, in Pigs.

We are again receiving numerous
inquiries relative to pigs that are
not doing well, that get weak in the
hind quarters. A few days since
we had an opportunity to hold a
post-portem examination on bunch
of such pigs. The symtoms pre-
sented by the pigs were somewhat
as follows: There was more or less
weakness, gaunt, tucked up con-
dition; some had slight cough
while others had a slight diarrhoea
most of them had fairly good
appetite. When the bodies were
opened, the intestines were found in
a normal healthy condition. Except
that they had the appearance of be-
ing pale, indicating poor condition
OF the blood, the organs and body in
general were apparently normal.
The bones were light colored and
quite pliable. In a few cases there
was some inflammation of the inter-
ior portion of the lungs.
Probably in some of the pigs before
they had been killed, coughing had
been noted; but no Lessons were
found that would account for or in
dicate diarrhoetic conditions. While
this examination did not demon
strate any very marked changes, yet
it pointed quite strongly to a lack of
proper nutrition; in other words,
the condition found in these pigs
were such that we should expect to
find in. animals that had not been
properly nourished. This was not
true in a literal sense, for the pigs
had had liberal supply of corn and
buttermilk, but under the circum-
stances we were obliged to conclude
that lack of nutrition was principal
ly the cause of the troubles mention
ed. 1t was net learned whether the
buttermilk was fed sweet or sour,
but it was from separated cream,
and the chances arc that it was sour
and Of relatively poor quality. But
termilk made by the old-fashioned
method of skimming and churning
usually has much higher nutritive
value than that made from sepera-
ted cream, because it generally con-
tains less water.
Whether or not our conclusions in
the case are correct, one fact is be-
yond contradiction, and that is, that
this lot Of pigs examined were not
properly nourished. which shows
plainly that they had not been re-
ceiving a balanced ration. There was
very marked lack of bone salts, as
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1906-10-03

evidenced by the condition of the
bone; and there was further evil
dence OF improper nutrition by en-
emic conditions. 1t may be more
profitable to feed cheap feed and
produce a poor, weak animal that is
very likely to succumb from every
slight cause; but we have not as vet
been able to see it 10 that light.
The time has come when it requires
more than simple mating and a lit.
tie feed to make animal raising pro-
titable. On the other hand, we know
OF no other legitimate business that
Will bring greater returns than
stock raising if the stock is given
careful attention and is raised under
proper conditions. Give your pigs
something to build up bone and
muscle as we'll as to make fat, for
your fat will not be worth much if
you don't have some bone to carry
it on. Ii the animal cannot move
around some while growing the di-
gestive system will become deranged
and when this happens the animal
ceases to be strong and robust

The Time to Cut Corn tor the silo.

Some of our friends who are
building silos this year for the first
time have been coming to us asking
when they should put their corn in
the silo. Some Of them seem to
have the idea that corn for silage
must be cut rather immature, and
are likely to make mistake and
get less amount of feeding value
and sour silage as we'll.
The time to put corn in the silo is
just the time you should put it in
the shock. If you cut it earlier than
that the corn will shrink. Cut later,
you will have to put water in the
silo, or elseyou will have poor silage.
You can make silage out Of dry corn
stalks if you put in enough water.
No farmer cares to rig up pump
ing plant to water his silage. There
fore time things SO that you will get
your corn into the silo just at the
time you ought to put it in shock,
when the husks are white and the
leaves turning; that is as near as we
can express it.
In many fields you will have corn,
especially of mixed breeding or Of
second planting, that will be only
in The hard roasting ear when an
other part Of the crop will be fully
matured. You will have to use
judgment as to when to cut this.
We would cut this when the bulk of
it, the earliest, is in the right con-
dition. and get what we could out of
the rest.
The farmer who has a few acres of
sorghum can safely permit his corn
to ripen longer than if he has
nothing but corn. By mixing the
green sorghum with his dry corn he
can make q high quality of silage
under conditions in which corn alone
would turn out poor quality of
silage.
Don't put your corn in the silo
till it is ready to go into the shock,
but begin it in time to get your silo
filled before it becomes too dry, unless
you have sorghum to fill it up with.

The other day n brute of m; n
living at Peterson, New Jersey, lett
the muuilicent sum of six cents w.
ing on table in his house. Upon
returning he missed the money.
His wife had used it for some house,

afors aied, learned that she had thus
used the money he attacked her with
an ak handle as she stood before him
with month old babe in her arms,
and after he had felled her he pro-
ceeded to kick her as she lay pros

lies in a hospital in precarious con-

Illinois an Alfalfa State.

Bloomington. Ill.--According to
Prof. Frank II. Hall, an authority on
farm crops. there are more than TO-.
00o acres of falfalfa now being grown
in Illinois. After visiting so conn
ties in the state he finds that alfalfa
is grown in all but one of the so
Hardin county. Estimating that
each acre will pay at least S25 pro-
tit. the total amount gained by Ill
nois farmers this year alone will
reach S25O,OOO.
Prof. Hall says that for protein
nourlshment one acre of alfalfa is
worth three times as much clover
and nine times as much timothy.
This proves the assertion that land
upon which alfalfa is growing is
easily S500-an-acre land. He also
stated that alfalfa hay has l 1 pounds
protein in 100 pounds hay. One
aero of alfalfa is thus seen to be
nine acres Of timothy. Because of
this fact he advises the general
growing of this variety of hay.
"The value of crops of various
kinds should be taught in the cigh-
tn grade at school," Prof. Hall said.
"They really should be taught in
the high school as WE'LL"
By way Of explanation, Prof. Hall
said that rations must be balanced
In a balanced ration the fat is null
tiplied by two and one-fourth be-
cause its fuel value is that much
greater than other ingredients. One
part OF protein to five parts of
fat is one of the widest" rations
that ought to be fed. Corn has only
70 per cent. of protein, while alfalfa
has IL. Many farmers throughout
Illinois have been paying Sl5 for
this sort of hay, when they could
have bought timothy at home for
Sl3. There is no more profitable
crop grown in the state, Prof. Hall
insists, than alfalfa, and he believes
Illinois may become the greatest al
falfa-growing state.

In his speech at new haven and
again in Newark, Mr.. Bryan used
an anecdote to illustrate what he
says the republican party has been
doing to excuse its failure to curb
the trusts. "There was once man, :"
goes Mr.. Bryan's story, who was
sued in court for returning with a
crack across the bottom of it kettle
he had borrowed from neighbor.
The neighbor was very angry. The
man who was sued put up three de-
lenses. First he said that he hadn I
borrowed the kettle. Then when
that failed he said that the, kettle was
cracked when he borrowed it. And
finally when his second argument
was disproved he said that he had
mended the crack before he returned
it. and that concluded Mr..
Bryan, ''is the way the republican
party defends itself against the char
ge of not keeping its promises on
the subject Of trust regulation"

Old Soldier Defeated.

The case of Brown VS. Scott county,
where Brown sought mandamus
compelling the board of supervisors
to appoint him poormaster under
the old soldier preference act, re-
suited in the defeat of Brown. The
case was fought for several days in
the Scott county court. Capt. Neal
and Joe Lane appearing for the old
soldier, and VIM. Petersen and
County Attorney Hamann for the
board Of supervisors. The statute
declares that il the old soldier ap-
plant is found competent and Of
good moral character, and can per-
form the duties of office, that he
shall be awarded the position, and
if they fail to appoint the old sold
ier may have actions for damages
and right of mandamus.
In reviewing the case, in his in
structions to the jury Judge Barker
held that if the board made an hon.
est investigation Of the merits of the
applicant, and decided adversely to
him that the decision of the board
was final.
This is the new point on the Old
Soldiers preference law, as under it
the board has simply to make an in
vestigation, and if it is determined
in the minds of the members that it
does not want to make the appoint
ment, that the court cannot review
the work of the board, excepting
fraud is charged. This practically
removes the last prop under the
Old Soldiers preference law, as the
board of supervisors can, if it de-
sires, find some excuse for not max
ing the appointment. Clinton Ad-
vertiser.

Did President surrender.

A reporter for the Sionx City
Tribune seized the opportunity offer
ed, the other day, by his presence in
Sioux City, to interview Senator b.
i. Tillman, of South Carolina. In
cldentally the reporter, knowing the
senator had taken a leading part in
the fight for the rate bill, took oc-
cas:on to ask him some leading
questions regarding the attitude Of
President Roosevelt toward that
measure. "Do you consider the
president surrendered to the oppo-
sition to the bill, and, if so, have
you ever discovered the motive that
prompted him to weaken?" was ask
ed. This brought the fire of battle
to the eye of Tillman," says the
Tribune. HE saw chance to
speak out that which he believed
was the truth, in his keen, blunt
style.
Surrender" he exclaimed,
bringing his fist down upon the
table until The dishes ratified, 81
should say he did surrender. We
had the fight won. We had the
votes. We had the backing of the
people. We had accomplished what
President Roosevelt. had asked for
in his message. We had, after a
fight that was simply hell for one
hundred days, whipped every cor
poratlon lobbyist in the national
capital.
"'Then President Roosevelt sur
rendered. He was not enough of a
patriot. He was too timid to reach
up with his hammer and drive the
last nail into the bill and fix it in
the statutes of the United States.
Senator Dolliver told me he had 26
votes. We had % democrats to
help him. That made 4S votes in
the senate and 40 was enough to
pass the bill. But Roosevelt knock
ed the props from under us rather
than split his party and go out of
Office with his bill to his credit He
feared the result would create SER
ious dissensions in his party, though
he knew the bill was righteous
measure. I"
Senator Tillman speaks by the
cards, for it was he who led the
fight on the democratic side. Know
ing that he was a personal enemy of
tho president, and hoping to dis
credit the bill in his eyes, Senator
Aldrich--he of Standard Oil motor
iety-voted to have it reported from
committee to the senate by the
senator from South Carolina. Till
man and Bailey had lined up the
democratic senators for the bill. At
a critical juncture, the president
consented to accept the Allison
amendment, though for time the
senior senator from Iowa denied
paternity of the amendment. The
effect Of the amendment was to great
ly modify the court review feature of
the measure. 1t was the goal to.
ward which the railroad senator's
had been striving with all their
energies and great resources. Sena-
tors Spooner, Aldrich, Allison, El-
kins and Lodge appealed to the
president and in moment Of weak
ness lie yielded. The man of iron
became the man of clay. He feared
that to pass the bill in its original
form would drive thegreat corporate
interest away from the party and
deprive it Of fat campaign funds at
the next election. Therefore, he laid
