WATCHING CORPORATIONS
To See if Laws Respecting Them
Are Observed.
Secret Service Agents of Govern
ment Said to be On PayrolIs
of Railroads and Packers.

Chicago.-The Record Herald
agents of the United States depart
ment of justice, working through the
bureau of corporations, are said to
be on the payrolls of all the big rail
way corporations and trust company
combinations in the country. In Chi
cago alone, it is said there are at
least $50 special men who are work
ing for railroads and for packing
house companies and are watching
every move that is made with a view
to ascertaining whether the corpora
ton laws are observed in letter and
spirit. While no proof is obtainable
as to the presence of these spying
employees, in several instances men
who have been suspected have been
removed from their positions on the
ground that they were in the employ
of the government as spies. One of
ment of Justice when asked if such
an army was at work for the govern
ment said:
IF it were so | could not tell I
know of cases where men have lost
their positions unjustly from falling
under suspicion. have heard the
statement made before but | shall
neither affirm nor deny it, If such
work is done agents of the bureau of
corporations are those most likely to
be engaged in it,

HAY EOR HOGS.
Glover and Skim Milk Best Diet for
the Young Sow.

Put up little clover hay for the
hogs. 1t should be cut little earlier
for them than for any other stock,
usually about the time the clover is in
full bloom and before many of the
blossoms have turned brown. Stack
or store it under a shed where it will
not bleach or become drenched with
rain. The farmer should not ridicule
the idea of feeding clover to hogs, es-
pecially to the SOW. Glover hay and
skim milk are the best feed that can
be given the young SOW for two
months before she is expected to far
row. 1t will not take her long to
learn that good bright clover hay is
excellent feed and she will eat eager
ly of it when it is placed before her
AS grain feed, use ground oats two
parts and cracked corn one part and
of this ration feed about two per cent
of the sow's weight. That is, if she
weighs 200 pounds, give her four
pounds of this mixture each day, two
pounds in the evening and two in the
morning. Also aim to give her about
four pounds of milk per day and an
the clover hay she will eat up clean
and all the water that she will drink.
The writer has followed this plan of
feeding for several years and has had
excellent luck with the pigs. They
are always healthy and make rapid
growth. Feed the ground grain by
moistening it with about a quart of
milk and feeding in the trough.

FEEDING AT A PROFIT.
How Il Was Done at Washington State
Agricultural College.

Feeding of beef steers on corn fod-
der at profit in the Palouse country,
south of Spokane, Wash, has been full
ly demonstrated by the Washington
state, college experiment farm at Pull
man, which sold Is steers fed as an
experiment. These steers were
bought at random throughout the Pa
louise country at $25 to $50 a head.
They were cut into three lots and fed
under slightly different methods. The
total cost of IA steers was $500 and
they were fed eight tons of oat hay
worth $3.50 ton, 1855 pounds of
fodder corn at $3.50 ton; two and a
quarter tons of wheat at $3.50 a ton;
making the total cost of the steers
and the feed $65955. They were sold
for $S11.75, leaving a net profit Of
$151.20.
The steers were fed two months, all
being fed alike for the first month,
during which time they were given
three pounds of wheat daily. After
the first month lots of two and three
were fed six, pounds of wheat daily.
while lot No. 1 continued at three
pounds each. During the month in
which the two lots were fed six
pounds each daily, lot two gained 400
pounds, while lot three gained ASS
pounds. Lot No. 1 only gained 270
pounds during this period. The net
cash gain per head of lot No..2 over
lot No. in this period was $3.50, with
but three pounds more of wheat daily.
This is an increase of more than ten
cents a day. or ten cents for three
pounds of wheat, which is at the rate
of 81 bushel for wheat fed to steers
in this way.
The experiment, explains the Draft
Horse Journal, was carried on under
the direction of E. E. Elliot, profess
sor of agriculture in Washington state
college, but was under the great SUI
pervision of Professor w. A. Link.
slater, head of the department of an
imal husbandry, and w. D. Foster. SUI
perintendent of the college farm.

FEED FOR HOGS.
Cleanliness of the utmost Importance
in Summer.

Every farmer knows that clean food
for hogs is of the utmost Importance,
especially in hot weather. Still, a
great many will often permit the swill
barrel to become filthy. This is very
dangerous to the health of the hogs
during summer. Doubtless diseases
often start among many hogs from
this source. There are many ills that
affect hogs besides hog cholera, though
the only thing to be guarded against.
By the decay of vegetable and fieshy
matter various poisons are elaborated,
and we must guard against these as
well as hog cholera. There is no
doubt that animals as we'll as human
beings are often killed by ptomaine
poisoning.
Rotten swill is unfit for hogs as GER
tainly as other rotten food. Some
feed their hogs whey brought from the
cheese factory. Often, as factory men
know, the whey tanks are very dirty,
not having been cleaned, perhaps, for
months. The farmers who use this
whey should make such vigorous
protest against dirty tanks that the
factory men will see that they are
cleaned often.
Some of the factories do not even
have tanks, but have a row of barrels
near the factory buildings into which
the whey is run. These, says Orange
Judd Farmer, are allowed to become
almost putrid in the hot sun of sum-
mer. They swarm with flies, which
may have been visiting the carcasses
of dead hogs in the pastures of ad-
joining farms. Sometimes these hogs
have died of cholera and sometimes
of other contagious diseases. 1t is
not difficult matter to clean barrels
often, and this should be done. 1t is
all the easier to do if the cheese fac
tory has a steam pipe, from which q
hose can conduct the steam into the
barrels.
If disease is to be kept off the farm
food of the hogs must be carefully
watched, at least in summer. The mat
ter is not SO important in winter, as
the flies are not carrying germs from
one place to another, and contagious
diseases will not spread with the same
rapidity. Animals take in disease
germs mostly through their respira
tory organs or through the organs de
voted to the elaboration of food Il
the food is protected, much will be
gained in the way of protection
against disease.

STRENUOUS CAMPAIGNING.
Candidates In Indian Territory Carry
Tents and Camping Outfits When
Making Speeches.

Muskogee, l. T-As the cat
tlemen once roamed over the prai-
ries of Mayes county, following the
heard with his chuck" wagon, so all
the Democratic candidates travel over
the county with CHUCK" wagon and
a sleeping tent following them. They
will visit every precinct in the county.
This plan of campaign was inaugural
ed by the county central committee.
Money is provided for full camp out
fit, consisting of a sleeping tent big
enough for all the candidates, and a
chuck" wagon and tent. The candi-
dates travel in buggies and scatter
over the voting precinct throughout
the day soliciting votes. At night
where their chuck wagon is located
they gather, and there is speaking
by the candidates. Every precinct in
the county will be covered in this way

The Farm stoek

Sunlight should be welcomed to

are kept.
other reason than to get rid of tho
weeds
Fall filters prove profitable where
winter dairying is practiced and there
is surplus of skim Ihilk.
Snearing in the middle west will
be late again this year on account
of continued cold, rainy weather.
Keep as much sulphur mixed with
the salt as possible and have the
sheep eat it, and they will not be
troubled with worms.
A wet season is always harder on
sheep than a dry one. Look to their
feet and keep them out of muddy
yards as much as possible.
The horse should not be expected to
make living on the pasture in the
hog lot. The horse is usually very
particular animal about what it eats.
and hog pasture is very distasteful to
It, Separate the hogs from the other
stock and give them a pasture to
themselves.
Blanketing horse to keep off the
flies is making him warmer just at the
time when he should be harnessed in
a way that would make him cooler.

WEST SAFE FROM PANIC.
Chicago Banker Says Wall Street
Troubles Have No Effect on
Western Prosperity.

Chicago, Illinois.-The administra-
ton may pound the railroads and fine
them into insolvency, the Bank of
England may raise it's discount rate
as high as it chooses, and Wall street
may have to pay the piper with its
last red cent, blu; the West won't care.
Business is fine and the West has quit
gambling
This was the answer of John j.
Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank to question
as to the effect of the collapse of the
stock market in New York and the
action of the Bank of England Thurs
day in advancing the rate or discount
half a point The West isn't bit
worried over the situation" sand Mr..
Mitchell The West never was furth-
er away from Wall street than it is to-
day. Present conditions in no way
resemble those preceding the panic of
1894. All lines of commerce are pros
pering. Business is profitable. AS
long as the country has good crops
such as were raised this year and as
long as general business is in a likely
condition, no panic can occur in the
West.
