Save the Pigs.

Everyone who lost healthy pig
last spring, lost the equivalent OF a
five dollar bill. The loss of six pigs
or an ordinary litter, amounts to a
months wages for the average farm
hand. The loss of 5 pigs on each
Iowa farm last spring, meant five
million dollars loss in actual farm
profits. How many of us lost more
than 5 pigs?
Loss Of pigs is largely due to i'm
proper methods of feeding before
farrowing and lack of care at far
rowing time. The man who feeds
his brood sows all winter on strict
ly corn ration, is simply courting
failure and can reasonably expect
to lose part Of his pigs. The man
who feeds oats, shorts, bran, tank
age or some other protein food,
along with his corn can reasonably
expect good success at narrowing
time, provided he furnishes suitable
quarters.
1t is a penny wise. pound fool
ish" policy, that does not provide
good quarters for each sow. One
pig will pay the cost while lack of
care often results in the loss of the
whole litter. Oftentimes a
years profits are lost in a week,
thru lack of preparation.
Now is the time to make arrange
ments for the April pigs. Besides
a pen to herself, each sow should
have sunshine, exercise and good
food. Some breeders prefer the
central hog house. Others, the in
dividual. Most of US will be OBJ
liged to make the best use possible
of what we have at hand. The care
less man will lose his pigs, with the
best buildings. The careful bust
ness like man, will often succeed
with meager equipment The small
individual cot enables the hog pro-
ducer to get his SOW away from the
muddy lot out on the blue grass
hill, where she farrows undisturbed
and where the new born litter gets
plenty of exercise, sunshine and
green food, three very successful
things in production.
1t is a serious mistake to feed the
SOW anything the first day after far
rowing. Give her nothing but tep-
id water. The second day allow
her to have little food of the same
kind as that fed her before farrow-
ing. Increase the feed gradually,
the rate of increase depending upon
the size of the litter and milking
proclivities of the sow. The mis-
take is often made Of starting the
SOW on some other kind of feed i'm
mediately after she farrows. This
is likely to cause scours in the pigs.
No man can tell another how to feed.
The successful feeder is the man
who keeps a watchful eve on his
herd and cuts down little on the
litter that is getting too fat OF gives
additional feed to the SOW with the
litter; always taking great care not
to allow the youngsters to contract
scours during the first two weeks OF
the pigs life.

Music OF Spring.

With t!nkllng patter, and plash.
Aud musical drip, drop. drip,
The cl0lld-urns of Eurnus tip.
: And the rain comes down with dash.
Ger the frozen lake.
The stetlthy tliaw- winds creep.
And the dmpllng ripples, fast asleep.
In sivery laughter awake.
GA the rick of the rushing rain,
The gust like u hunter borne,
With streaming pennon and shrlling hnIn
Sweeps over the sodden plain.
And the wild mists fly at the warning,
Smote through with the spears of gold
Hurled from the SUMS belle lgured hold,
On the cloudy heights of morn
Drip, drop, drip!
And down with silvery cash,
From the slender wrists of the weeping ash
Her jeweled fetters slip.
Flushed with garnet fire,
Her fetters of frozen rain
Clank and snap In the tempest's strain,
With q twang Of a broken Tyre.
The swarthy hills peer out
From their dim gray hoods of mist,
And a tender CLEAN of anne .hyst
Cirdles the earth around.
And. jubllant, sweet and clear,
Somewhere on the winds afiOat,
gla. song ruffies the bluebird's ,hr ,a.,
And we know that spring is near

Grow Clover.

The time for sowing oats is near
at hand and likewise the time for
sowing clover. Do not sow an acre
of oats without sowing about ten
pounds of clover seed with the oats.
The very fact that there are thirty
acres OF oats to one acre of clover in
this state, shows that the vast
majority of the oats sown in Iowa is
not accompanied by seeding with
clover. Iowa raises approximately
nine and one-half million acres Of
corn, six and one-half million acres
Of oats and only two hundred and
1000 acres Of clover, or forty.six
acres OF corn to one acre of clover
and thirty acres of oats to each acre
OF clover. This shows that the pre-
vailing system of farming consists
OF growing corn most of the time
and resting" the land once in two
or three years by growing crop Of
oats.
A rotation Of crops is absolutely
necessary in permanent system Of
farming and a rotation which does
not include clover or some other
leguminous crop, is scarcely worthy
Of the name. BY leguminous crops
we mean all the clovers, alfalfa, COW
peas, soy beans, etc., all of which
are capable Of using the nitrogen o.
the air. These crops, which are
rich in nitrogen, are the crops which
are rich in protein and every farmer
who has bought feed knows that the
more protein a feed contains, the
more it costs him. Corn is the bes
fattening feed in the world bu
there must be a certain amount O
protein feed with it or the full
value Of the corn cannot be obtained
Why not grow this protein on ou,

FL Dorado.

The modern meaning Of Ell Dorado
may be traced as follows: One of Pi-
zarro's men said that he had discov-
cred land Of boundless wealth be-
tween the Orlnoco and the Amazon.
This country was named El Dorado.
and many Adventures, among them
Sir Walter Raleigh, endeavored to find
it; hence the name has come to mean
golden country Of the mind. a fabu-
lous land of fabulous wealth, much as
Cockaigne, fancied land Of luxury
and idleness.-New York American.

Hartman and Bryan.

Under the headline Hartman
and Byran," the Minneapolis Jour
nal, republican, prints this editorial:
"The testimony Of E. II. Hartman
before the interstate commission
has probably done more to dignity
the issue Of government ownership
of railroads raised by W. j. Bryan,
than any other one thing that could
have happened. The public was in
clined to treat Mr.. Bryan's remarks
on his return to this country as
further evidence that the democratic
leader was too shallow to be trust, d
with the presidency. 1t was put
down, along with his radicalism on
the money question, as indicating
mind economically unsound, and
Mr.. Bryan lost prestige very rapid
ly. The public, in jumping so hard
upon Mr.. Bryan, had evidently over
looked the fact that he had Just
come from tour of Europe, where
the very system of railroad manage
ment which he advocated is in prac-
tlce. In Germany the imperial gov.
eminent owns and operates num-
ber Of through lines, while the
different states own many connect
ing branch lines. Governments own
ership Of railroads is spreading in
Europe. 1t prevails in Austria,
where the zone system of tariffs has
also obtained vogue. Russia has
built and is operating her own rail
road lines. 1t is true the COVE r.
ment in these countries is military
in character and the ownership Of
railroads was first thought of in
connection of the national defense.
However, that was merely an Incl
dent. The governments, having
taken over the railroads were under
the necessity Of making them pay.
Mr.. Bryan observed these things in
Europe, and while he was not the
first man who had done so, he was
the first political leader who at
tempted to transplant the idea and
set it before the American people as
an issue. 1t would have remained
a chimera of the Nebraska system Of
political economy without Hartman,
but plus Hartman it is discussed
with soberress. Coupled with the
disconcerting testimony of Hartman
comes the complaint Of @. S. Mellen,
railroad president, that the new rate
law is punitive rather than protec-
tive. Between the two one begins
to see dimly that the railroad ques-
tion is far from settled. If the rail
road presidents are content neither
to use the new law nor to depart
from the old practice, the remedy
must be more and more drastic law,
or the wiping out OF private owner
ship. What the railroad men do
not appear to be able to rec is that
the people, having put their hand
to the plow, will not turn back.
They will give private ownership a
fair trial, but no railroad president
need imagine for moment that the
people would not as soon go forward
to the unknown perils Of govern
ment ownership as back to the
humiliations of the private owner
ship Of the past, towit, the very kind
about Mr.. Hartman testifies with
such hardihood."

After very earnest and protract-
ed effort to get along without day
Of rest the French people have found
it necessary to consider the enact
ment of laws for the protection of
Sunday. And this demand for a
day Of rest comes from the working
people, the very people in whose be-
half greater supposed freedom in re-
gard to Sunday is asked in this
country. There is really no relig-
ious question involved as tar as the
relation Of the state to the subject
is concerned. The question is So
cial and political entirely. What
we are to decide is whether we are
to break down the distinction be-
tween Sunday as day Of rest and
the other days as days Of work.
The French have done this and they
have found that the result is bad.
Sunday amusements mean Sunday
work for many, and with Sunday
amusements gradually comes Sun
day business, open shops, -open
theaters and all the rest of it.-In-
