MANY SEEK INFORMATION.
Salem Board OF Trade Receives Many
Letters OF Inauirv.

Three hundred and nineteen is the
remarkable number Of inquiries re-
ceived from practically every state
in the union by the Salem Board OF
Trade Thursday. says the Salem Jour-
nal
This is the result Of about a
months practical boosting. Should
the inquiries continue at this remark
able rate for a month, and there is
every reason to believe that they will,
IL they do not increase. the astound-
ing result will be 9570.
The probabilities are, however, that
the number of homeseekers writing
the Board of Trade will be on the in
crease as the result of the added
amount Of boosting in the sending out
OF literature in the last few weeks.
In addition to the above prodig-
ious number of written inquiries, a
great many call In person at the Sa-
lem Board of Trade rooms, and are
supplied with literature and general
information. 1t is estimated that an
average Of at least 10 visitors day,

HOG sELF.FEEDER.
Convenient Receptacle for Holding
Charcoal, Salt, ETC., for Animals.

A good box or self-feeder for char
coal, salt, ETC., for hogs can be made
from box with a frame of four by
four inch pine, strongly braced with
two by four inch pine, set inside a
shallow box with flaring sides, as in
dicated in the drawing. 1t should have
cone-shaped center. The corner
posts of the box should be toe-nailed
to the bottom. The whole or upright
part should be made of matched lum-
ber, leaving an open space on each of
the four sides at the bottom of about
three inches for the mixture to work
down where the hogs can get it. The
box should be covered to prevent rain
getting the mixture wet.
Our plan in making cob charcoal,
continues the writer in Breeders Ga
zette, is to dig pit five feet deep and
about five feet in diameter. If the soil
is such that there Is danger of caving,
wall the pit up with brick or stone.
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the top of the pit.
Start fire in pit and add cobs as fast
as those burning come to glow or red
Goals. Keep doing this till the pit is
full. Then pour on one or more bar
rels of water in which enough salt has
been dissolved to make it quite salty.

STOCK NOTES.

Cornstalks contain large overbal-
ance of starchy materials and should
not be used in balancing ration of
corn.
Angora goats cannot stand crowding
together; hence they should not be
kept in large flocks on small farms.
Cattle differ greatly in their graz.
ing power. This is largely a matter
of inheritance.
Corn and clover hay or corn and al.
falfa hay make a good balance in the
ration.
If you would raise large sheep, do
not breed the ewes before they are
a year to 1S months old. Also feed
literally.
Allow one ram to every 40 or so
ewes and take the rams away as
soon as the breeding season is over.
The number of pigs to the litter can
be increased by continually picking
out the SOW pigs from the biggest lit.

If you are feeding small amount
of corn to sows on pasture shell II
and scatter it widely. Then no one
will get more than her share.

PHOSPHATE FOR HOGS.
Why They Need Food Containing This
Element.

A noted veterinary authority says:
"If hogs show tendency to weak
ness on the legs, feed less corn and
more BRAN" The reason why bran is
good for weak bones Is, that it con-
tains more phosphate than corn. But
if the farmer has provided himself
with a few bags of raw ground phos-
phate rock, he will find it an excellent
thing to sprinkle a little of it on the
floor of the pen every day. The hogs
will root for it greedily.
Two years ago we studied the phos-
phate experiment made with pigs, at
the Wisconsin experiment station. 1t
was most convincing of the truth of
the statement we have made, declares
the Hoard's Dairyman. Three pens of
pigs, of three each, were taken for
the experiment. One lot was fed as
farmers ordinarily feed hogs; the sec
ond lot was fed the same as the first,
except that a little phosphate was
added to their food daily. The effect
was astonishing in the increased
strength of the second lot. But it was
Win lh0 lnilu VI lOI lndI tuS lull IIuIu
was unfolded.
This lot was fed food from which all
the phosphate had been extracted by
washing, but the process left all other
elements such as the nitrogen and pot
ash, in full strength. The effect of this
loss of phosphate on these pigs was
very striking. They were stunted in
size though well covered with fat,
and at the stage of the experiment we
saw them, they could not stand on
their legs minute. Get one of them
upon his feet for a moment and he
would commence to falter at once.
Here was lesson in the principles
of nutrition that was very valuable to
the man who can take it. Phosphorus
is one of the most important elements
we have for the support of the brain,
nerve and bone in animal life, and for
seed growth in plants.
We have always noticed that our
own hogs will at once commence to
root in and eat the ground phosphate
when we sprinkle it on the floor OF
their pens. A small handful each day
to each hog is valuable for the animal
and the greater efficiency of the ma
nure.

AUTUMN AND WORK HORSES.
Do Not Neglect Them or Half-Feed
Them When Hard Work Is Over. .

1t always seems like cruel, as we'll
as risky practice, to work the
horses through the spring, summer
and fall, feeding them we'll and
grooming them, then as soon as the
heavy work is finished take the grain
away from them and turn them out to
shift for themselves. In the first
place, their systems are not accus.
toned to the grass feed, and it is a
shock to them-an abrupt let-down.
1t is no wonder if they lose flesh rap
idly and their general appearance be-
comes one of sad detection and un-
thriftiness.
The frost-bitten grass is not suf-
ficient to sustain them; they eat a
great deal of it, get podgy, lose flesh
and ambition rapidly. The system is
not prepared to stand against the cold,
frosty nights and stormy days, and
the consequence is that they catch
cold and some attain that condition of
stomach and lungs called the heaves.
The thoughtless owner often at
tributes the depreciation in value and
usefulness to bad luck, instead of bad
management.
believe it is good plan, continues
this correspondent of the Orange
Judd Farmer, to give the work
horses a run to grass after the heavy
work is done, but would not take all
the grain away, nor leave them out
nights and during cold storms. The
run at fall grass will save part of
the hay, but it should not constitute
| the whole diet. 1t is bad management
to let the horses run down in flesh
now when they can be sustained on
much less grain, and at less cost, than
they can be put in condition with to.
ward spring. Exercise in the field
each day is very beneficial, and the
taste of grass is change which they
relish; but do not go to extremes and
overdo the matter. The prudent man
who has in mind the comfort of his
animals, as we'll as the financial value
of them, will keep watchful eye on
them and jealousy guard them
against conditions that will depreciate
them in appearance, value and useful
ness.

important forts, Crown Point and
Ticonderoga, situated at the head of
the lake, were objective points, and
were finally captured by Gen. Am
herst.
In the early days Of the struggle for
independence the first naval battle
fought between British and American
fleets occurred near Valcour island.
The British commander, Carleton, was
stubbornly opposed by Benedict Ar
nold who could not prevent him from
capturing Crown Point.
However, the battle of Plattsburg,
or of Lake Champlain, during the war
of 1912, eclipsed all former struggles
In magnitude and Importance of re-
suits. The old Sixth regiment Of
United States troops was sent to
Plattsburg, under command Of Gen.
Alexander Macomb, who made his head
quarters in the house built by Zephani-
ah Platt, the founder of Plattsburg
Under his direction Fort Moreau, Fort
Scott and Fort Brown were built, the
latter the only one remaining. The
government also bought as reserva-
tion the land extending from the lake
back to the Saranac river which flows
through the town.
Gen. Macomb's early military expe-
rience was gained when, as a private,
he enrolled in 1899 in the New York
Rangers, a volunteer colonial corps.
He subsequently served on the stan
of Gen. North, and with Gen. Wilkin-
son in the southwest, but it was not
until September IL, 1914, when the
great dual battle occurred on land and
water at Plattsburg, that he won
the position which entities his name
to be placed on the roll of our nations
heroes. Gen. Macomb was ably as
sisted by Gen. Benjamin Mooers, who
commanded the militia, numbering
about 1,400 men, while the regulars
were about 500. The house occupied
by Gen. Mooers is still standing on
the corner of Peru and Bridge streets,

Pour this water over the burning mass
till the fire is put out. Then cover the
pit with the iron cover, being sure that
no air can get under the cover to
cause it again to burn. Leave till the
next day when you will have pit full
of a fine mixture that your hogs will
eat in preference to anything you can
offer them. Wood ashes in proportion
of eight parts ashes to one part salt
will also be a good mixture to keep
before hogs.

MONUMENT TO GEN. MAcoMB.
Famous Soldier and Statesman Hon.
ored with Memorial.

After lapse of nearly century,
the memory of Gen. Alexander Ma
comb has been honored in Detroit, the
city of his birth. Through the untir-
ing efforts of the Michigan Society Of
the United States Daughters of 1872,
there was unveiled on Washington
boulevard September II, the ninety
foruth anniversary Of that momentous
occasion, monument to the distin-
guished soldier and statesman who
SO signally defeated vastly superior
force of British at Plattsburg, on the
shore of Lake Champlain, September
II, 1914, driving the invaders back to
Canada and putting an end to cam
paign that for a time promised to
give England another hold on the ter
ritory it had so unwillingly relin-
quished less than half century be-
fore.
There is probably no body of water
within the confines of the United
States which has been the theater of
greater warfare than beautiful Lake
Champlain, situated in the northeast
ern part of New York state. 1t might
be said that it received a baptism of
blood, for its great discoverer, joining
the Algonquin Indians in battle
against the Mohawks, defeated them
at Ticonderoga on the bank of the
lake. 1t was costly victory that
Champlain won, for from that day the
Iroquois were the unrelenting enemies
of the French colonists

put through H D. and the bar also,
making it stationary.
The adjustable hand bars A and B
should be made of two by four lumber,
and slightly followed out, so as to fit
the neck of the hog. They are forked
on the end and so fit the bolts that
are in G G.
The back of the trap is made like
the front, says Prairie Farmer, but no
bars are used. Instead a board is
dropped down in place, thereby keep
ing the hog from backing out.
The hog is admitted at the back, and
when he gets to the front he is gripped
around the neck with the bars. The
iron pin is put through each bar and
the holes of H d. He is held in this
position while being rung after which
one of the bars is slipped out and the
hog passes on.
