SOME GOOD HOG ADVICE.

When first weaned, feed the pigs
from three to five times a day. While
with their mother they took their
meals at least every two hours and
too sudden a change ia detrimental.
After they get to growing vigorously
cut down to two meal a day. and
when they weigh rs pounds each and
are on good pasture feed once a day
n that at night.
When first weaned feed the pigs
some skim milk If possible. 1t makes
the change from mothers milk easier,
Whole milk is good, but as butter fat
is worth $500 TO $740 a ton, ii is ex-
pensive pig feed. Tankage will take
the place Of milk, making it about
one-tifth the total weight of the grain
fed.
A vasiety of feeds will give larger
n cheaper gains than will any single
feed. Peas, barley, wheat, rye, milo
maize and corn are the grains to use
in Colorado. Soak from "a to As hours,
each time feeding a mixture of at least
w grains.
Do not sour the feed, and keep the
troughs, pals and barrels used in feed
ing sweet and clean.
Half the weight OF a 200 pound pig
should be made from pasture. Alfalfa
makes the best pasture, followed by
rape, clover and a mixture Of wheat.
oats II barley sown thickly.
Keep the pasture short for young
pigs, as fresh growth is the most
easily digested. and tall nastures. when
wet, often make the pigs have sore
skins. Have two pastures and change
from one to the other, SO that the pigs
will always have clean feed.
They need fresh, clean water ALWAYS
before them. If a well is not conven-
lent, the water can be supplied cheaply
In barrels to which are attached hog
Waterers.
They u have a warm. dry, clean
shelter. free from draft every night In
the year, and they need a shade from
the midday sun.
If the pigs are lousy when weaned
dip them twice 10 days apart. Put up
short posts in the feed lot and pas
lures. Wrap these posts with old sacks
and once a week saturate the sacks
with crude oil or kerosene. The pigs
will rub on these and the oil will kill
the lice.
Cholera can be controlled and nos
sfbly eradicated, but il will never be
done till there is either concerted ac-
tion between the states subject TO II.
or government Interference. AS long
as shipments out of infected areas. in
~tercourse between clean and unclean
spots, n criminal carelessness on the
part of owners and shippers. are al
lowed. we will have the outbreaks fust
as we have had them In the past.
There Is little to be hoped for from
concerted action between states. and
hence government action holds out the
only promise of any immediate relief.

COUNTY oFFICIAL PAPER
CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor; John
Mitchell, second vice president, and
Frank Morrison, secretary, have been
sentenced to serve terms of imprison-
ment Of one year, nine months and
six months, respectively, for con-
tempt of the supreme court of the
district of Columbia.
These sentences, we believe, will do
more to effect a speedy revision of the
Injunction power Of the courts than
all the arguments that have been
made in all the history Of labors
unions fight on the injunction evil.
The men have been sentenced at a
time when the public is not ina frame
of mind to accept excuses for the very
severe punishment that has been I'M
posed. The sentencing follows closely
on the reversal in another court of
the decision by which the Standard
Oil Company was fined $40, 24o, 900
that it will be impossible to prevent
the making of invidious comparisons.
The two decisions have nothing in
common and were made by courts
that are in nowise allied, but they
will seem to many indicate that the
law works with much greater certain
ty and to much greater disadvantage
against some men than it does against
others.
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrissey
violated no law. They simply adj
yised their friends to refuse to patron
ize a certain concern.

MANY SEEKING POSITIONS.

The nearer approach of the opening
OF the legislative session shows that
the speakership is more and more
likely to 90 to M. j. CLANCY for a
second time, and with little OF no
opposition. II has been rrmored
that ,. p Whiting, Of sanborn, d
new member, would not shy at an
opportunity to WELD the gavel over
the coming, session, but SO far as can
ne learned all the old members are
asking that CLANCY be given the
same honor which has been accorded
~ hls predecessors, and to act; as
spresid ding officer Of the house for a
second time, and the chances are that

and the clerkship of the house. H..
M. Simons, who has in the past
shown himself to be hustler for
the place, thinks Belle Fourche is en-
titled to a good place in the appoln-
tive positions, and wants to look
after the clerical work of the senate
for another time. A. A. RoWen, OF
Parker, thinks that he has served
sufficient apprenticeship as the head
of the engrossing force of the senate
to entitle him to something better,
and begun his campaign for the sec
retaryship as soon as the nominal
lions were made, not waiting until
the election had decided who would
be selected. G.. x. Snyder, of Water
town, is a new man in state politics,
but feels that he is entitled to show
and it is rumored that he Will come
to the session with strong support
from the northeastern part OF the
state.
The house clerkship will also leave
two disappointed when it is finally
settled. j. H. Cone, the old veteran
at the work, who held a grip on the
place in the early days Of statehood,
and again captured the place at the
last session, is out for another try at
it. George Grace, of the Lead City
Call, thinks the Black Hills is en-
titled to one of the good places IN the
house, and that he is the man to I'LL
that place. E. w. Klein Of Airing
ton, is a young man, who was called
from committee clerkshlp to help
out the desk force at the close OF the
session, and made good record. He
thinks the experience was sulilclent
to start him out right as head or the
office desk force at the coming session.
''Dad" Osbon, of Huron, who did
the honors of the senate at the last
session as the guardian to the gate at
the railing, feels that that position
as sergeant at arms would be Just
about the right place for him this
session again and is asking that he
be reelected. E. E. Moscrip, of Can
ton, takes about the same position,
so far as the house is concerned, and
wants to be seated at his old desk
again this winter.
For MINOR places so far as is
known, Roscoe Mercer, Of Highmore,
who filled the position of second as
sistant secretary of the senate two
years ago, is asking to be advanced
to the place of first assistant at the
coming session. Frank Lillibrldge,
of this city, desires the position or
bill clerk of the senate.

NOT WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE.

Speaker Cannon is being reviled
and criticised to considerable ex-
tent these days for standing as the
opponent to legislation desired by
the people, and the people have come
to believe that Uncle Joe is all that
he has been charged with, and that
were it not for his monarchial reign
in the house of representatives that
much more good for the people would
have been accomplished. A Wash
aington correspondent to the Spring
field, Mass, Republican, let's in a
little light on the subject, and tends
) to smooth the way for Speaker Can
non, by saying that he is used as sort
of a buffer by members of congress
who play at politics. The CORE
spondent covers this much discussed
point in the following story:
''One largely contributing reason
why in past years there have been
few or no committee calls in the
house OF representatives is that after
some committee has favorably con-
sidered disputed bill individual
members tlocked to the speaker and
implOred him not to let the bill come
to a vote, although it was already on
the calendar as a result of the COM
Smittee's action. In the cases of GER
tain anti-liquor bills and labor bills
members have gone to the speaker by
the score and told him that it would
either jeopardize or actually end
their political existence if they were
forced to openly record a vote either
for or against. The result has been
that the speaker has made himself a
buffer, and that the possibility of
bringing up the dangerous measures
has been avoided by abandoning the
call OF committees aud by picking
out other measures on the calendar
by means of the ever ready expedient
of 9 special rule from the rules COM
mittee, or rather under general sus-
pension of the rules. The individual
members have then gone home, and
when asked by constituents why
such and such bill did not come up
have declared that the-speaker throt-
tied it, which may have been true,
Though by no means all of the truth
mall cases. Clearly this constitutes
9 fraud on the public. But congress
men have become accustomed to see
ing the speaker perform this party
service as buffer that they car
frankly state it to be one of the pur-
poses for which he is chosen, and as
sit is, they do the choosing, they car
be credited with accuracy.

In most countries that have repre-
sentative government it is a problem
how to make the second chamber
more responsive to the public will.
This is particularly the case just now
in Great Britain, where the House OF
Lords, which is a non-electlve body
representing the peerage, is motors
ously out of touch with the people.
The need of some reform is so great
that even the Lords themselves admit
it and recently appointed a COM
mittee to suggest a plan Of reform.
The plan has just been presented and
some radical suggestions have been
made. But it is doubtful if they Will
be put into effect, for in England, as
elsewhere, special interests hold on
to their position as long as possible.
The reform will have to come from
without, but how and to what extent
is the question. Aberdeen American.

sANBoRN COUNTY TREASURER is
ROBBED.

oonsocket, Dec. 20. Michael
Meier, county treasurer of Sanborn
county, whose term will expire on
the first Of January, went to the court
house last night to look after certain
matters of business for the night. He
saws that he was followed tn the court
house by two men whom he noticed,
but he thought nothing vi it until the
two men came into his room. Both
were masked, and each put a revolver
to the head of the treasurer, bidding
him open the vault and safe, under
penalty Of being shot. The treasurer
says he was compelled to comply with
the request and to open the vault,
and that the robbers secured 4,500
in cash.
They overlooked 81 900 which was
in another place in the vault.
