Responsible People.

DEoPLE occupying positions of high
j responsibility and trust are always
very busy people.
Tacy have little or no time to devote
To side issues.
It's therefore very rare that such peo-
pie are willing TO write testimonials for
anything.
Then again there is n natural diili-
dence in giving public endorsement 10
any commercial enterprise on the part
OF people who are much before the
public.
Rare Endorsements
II is thus that it is very rare that pub.
lie officials, like governors, congress
men, consuls, senators. etc, give public
endorsement to u proprietary medi
cine.
IL is therefore great triumph that
Peruna has the unqualified endorse
ment Of so many men III official posi-

reputation have enthusiastically de
clarcd in favor OF Peruna in public

startling fact as this except that Peruna
has extraordinary unusual merit.

prosperity and better living not alone
to one man, but to thousands
A man experienced in railroad affairs
who had never before been to Califor-
mia spent a few days recently at Los
Angeles on a pleasure trip which al
lowed him to visit the principal points
of interest. When he returned to the
east he said but little about the eli
mate or the orange groves or other
features said to be of first interest to
tourists. To him the marvellous thing
around Los Angeles was the local
transportation system and its high
standard.
"Without this" said he, land mas

ment which has given permanence to
the coming here of so many thousands
could never have been possible. The

diate territory is astonishing, but its

most remarkable feature is that it has
been done so evenly and equally. If
l had the planting of, say, a half mill
lion people in a particular spot and
the getting them to and fro, l must
confess that l should lose much sleep
at night. Think what it would have
meant to Los Angeles, no matter how
attractive nature has made this sec
ton, if the service between the city
and the beaches or the mountains had
failed to keep a little ahead of the adj
vancing requirements. You would
have had another story of a boom that
had burst, for the people might have
come, but inadequate transportation
facilities would have driven them away
again.

a man prominent in the munich
pal and other activities of Los Angeles.
There's no doubt as to the answer to
your question in the mind of any well
informed resident of Los Angeles.
Henry e. Huntington is the man. He
has not only pinned his faith to this
section and put his money into it, but
he has aided wonderfully in directing
the expenditure of other capital to-
ward the upbuilding of Southern Cali
fornia.
1T is unfortunate that the good cor
porations do too oft is inferred with the
reports to their direoto When any
thing goes wrong, whether by an act
of nature or Of an employee, we thunder
about it, but as general thing an
achievement that makes for the general
advancement of il community or per-
haps of the entire state is taken for
granted. and serves only for good be
cause it takes away so much oppor-
tunity for worry. In Southern Cali
fornia we do not worry so much nor
do we DO things with so much nervous
jerks as we did back in the east. Yet
we do accomplish big things, and per
haps because we do not become nervous
over them we thereby fail to appreciate
how big they are"
OF the big things that have been done
to push Southern California forward
those undeniably to the credit of Henry
e. Huntington are legion, but compar-
atively little is written about them.
That is due, in great part, to the mod
esty of Mr. Huntington. He is known
among newspaper men as a hard man
to interview, for the interviewer wants
to know all about Mr.. Huntington and
the things he is going to do, and on
these subjects the responsible person
is extremely reticent. He will perhaps
say something about the effect, after
it has become an established routine
and everybody knows about it. but the
interviewer who would know about the
brain behind the work and how it is
working out further achievement and
keeping up the pace-that interviewer
knows Just what it means to strike
adamant.
The most that has ever been said
about Mr.. Huntington at one publica-
ton is that printed by Albert Nelson
MARQUIS in his "Who's Who in Amer
lea" There are twenty Huntingtons
mentioned in the book as illustrious
Americans, prominent in education re-
lieion. warfare literature and other

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-04-01

more than $50 years of Improvement
From the rough, common hog, coarse
headed, ungainly and slow going, the
improved breeder by applying the prin'
ciple of selection, with generous feed
ing, has evolved the improved, quick
growing, early-maturing, up-to-date hog
of the twentieth century.
The toothsome ham is as grateful to
the palate of the millionaire as 1t
is to that of the soldier or miner or
peasant. Tender, sweet and tooth
some, it is pleasing alike to the palate
of the child of the laborer and of the
old man who looks back over his long
years of good feeding and remembers
the hog with pleasure. Vegetarians
have inveighed against the practice Of
eating pork products; theologians have
pointed to the warnings of Moses and
the sad fate that befell the swine OF
Gadara; but he is indeed a bold man
who inveighs with sincerity and with
real earnestness against the juicy ham
of pure-bred hog that has drunk the
clear waters of the west, has been
grown on alfalfa blossoms and the
sweet skinned milk of the dairy and
fattened on the ripened products OF
our western grain and pea fields.

GREEN FORAGE FOR HOGS.

A bulletin has just been issued from
the Missouri Experiment Station by
Dean H. J.. Waters giving the results
of some experiments to determine the
value of different forage crops for
hogs. Thirty-six pigs weighing about
SO pounds each were fed in lots on
different forage crops in connection
with corn until they were ready for
market. accurate account being kept
of the cost of gains made.
In cheapness of gains the feeds used
ranked as follows: Corn and skim
milk, cheapest; corn and alfalfa, Sec
ond; corn and red clover, third; corn
and bluegrass, fourth; corn and rape,
fifth corn and ship stuff, sixth.
A saving of about rs cents a hum
dred in the cost gain was effected by
using green clover instead OF fresh
bluegrass. saving Of 81 hundred
was effected by using alfalfa instead
of bluegrass.
When it is realized that alfalfa
comes on early and when properly
clipped stays green all summer and
until the very hard freezes of early
winter, it's Importance as a hog pas
ture is apparent. Glover yields more
forage per acre than bluegrass, and as
shown by these experiments has
much higher feeding value. 1t is OF
the utmost importance, therefore, to
provide this sort of pasture for hogs

HOW MUCH SHOULD A PIG
WEIGH?

A writer in Denver Field and Farm
says under the above caption: Under
favorable conditions pigs gain an aver
age of a pound day to the age OF
four months and over pound day
beyond this age. The system of rear
ing quick growing, early-maturing hogs
is soon to become a uniform business
among the majority of Colorado farm
ers. The alfalfa hog that can be fit
ted at any age is in prime condition
at all times. and is available for the
average market. By adhering persist
emily to the business, being ready at
all times to meet favorable conditions,
it will be found more profitable than
engaging in hog raising at intervals
when the business appears profitable
but when perhaps by the time the
farmer is ready to sell the conditions
of the market may not be SO. good.
The modern hog is the outcome OF
