Never wheelbarrow hog that is,
never pick him up by the hind legs
and make him walk on his front legs,
as you are apt to strain the muscles
of his kidneys. Men who breed pure
bred hogs are sometimes apt to make
that mistake when they have to put
one in crate to ship out. 1t is much
better to use the three-cornered hur-
die and make the pig walk on all fours
to his crate.

When the Spanlards Invaded Mexico,
In 1919, they introduced horses and as
the conquerors went north the sand
bur plants multiplied in regions where
they had never been seen before, and
the sand-bur beetle followed them.
From these migratory beetles descend
ed the present Colorado beetle, which
in the 18th or 18th century; but even
up to 1923 1t still lived on the wild
sand-bur, and was not abundant or
troublesome. With the western move
ment of civilization, however. the sand
bur beetle and Irish potatoes were
brought in contact, and it was not long
before the beetle decided In favor of
the potato stalks rs against the fare
furnished by the sand-bur. He began
to be a potato bug, and SO rapidly did
he thrive upon his new nourlshment
that inside of 40 years he was known
and execrated everywhere in the Unit

Big Feeding Test.
= That pigs must be accustomed to

Dietrich, of the Illinois Experiment
Station. The pigs used in the test
were sold on the Chicago market There

forty-nine of which had been used In
the aforementioned feeding test. They
sold at S6.25.
This is the fifth experiment In
series which Prof. DIETRICH is conduct
ing with the aim of establishing new
feeding standard. These pigs were fed
corn meal, middlings and tankage, with
clover hay. The pigs were weaned at
months old, when the feeding began.
and continued for six months, making
them s months old when sold. In this
test wien the pigs were weaned, in.
stead of feeding them corn meal, they
were given shelled corn in their slop.
They We're fed this way for three weeks,
but didn't do SO we'll, so the shelled
corn was dropped and the corn meal
added. Prof. DIETRICH says they lost
from eighty to ninety pounds gain by
giving shelled corn. They did not mas
ticate 1t thoroughly and 1t hurt their
digestion. lie says it showed that corn
meal was necessary to the ration to d.
lutte the middlings and tankage and
more equally distribute the protein.
otherwise they did not all get an equal
share, some eating more than others.
In previous tests pigs have been made
to average $50 pounds at s months, as
compared with III pounds of the pres
ent one, which shows the effect Of feed
ing shelled corn.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

A few days ago considerable number of I'M
employed men paraded the streets of Seattle, and
presented themselves at the city hall, asking the
mayor and city officials to provide them with
work. Nearly 300 of them are allowed to sleep
in the city Jail. Some of these men are winter
ing in the city between seasons in Alaska, and
many others from the lumber mills and log
gng camps, temporarily shut down while
awaiting the judicial adjustment of transportation
questions affecting this the largest industry OF
the state of Washington.
But these lines of employment do not include
all of these men, and these causes are not the
chief why many idle men are to be
found in all cities at this time. That reason
men of capital to close their purses like clam
shells against the just claims of their fellow
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And
now that the bankers panic is ended and the
money that withdrawn from circulation is
being returned to its channels, the most serious
feature of the present situation is the fear that
men will not use it in ways that will soon fur
nish large number of these men with the means
of earning a livelihood for themselves and their
families
The city of Seattle has many hundred thousands
of dollars in it's treasury, and yet 1t discharged
many of it's employees. Other lines of work and
business in the city did the same thing. One
reason given out for not complying with the popu-
lar demand and at once re-employing these men
now idle is that much of this idle money can
only be used after sufficient time has elapsed to
allow the official reel to unwind certain
amount of red tape. If these unfeeling holders
of public and private funds could only be made
to change places with some OF those now Idly
tramping the streets through no fault OF their

to succeed than any other enterprise. 1t is two
thirds as great as the livestock interests.
The feeling of the insignfcance of poultry is
we'll expressed in the anecdote of the little s.
year-old boy, who came to his mother one day. and
asked
Mamma, who made the lions and the ee-
phants?" 4.
"God, my DEAR" she answered.
"And did he make the flies, too?" asked the lit
tie fellow.
Eyes, my DEAR" replied his mother.
The little chap paused awhile; then he said:
"Fiddlin' work, seems to making fies.'
1t is not safe to despise the small things of life,
and so it is not wise to turn aside from poultry
upon the farm Every farm produces and posses
ses enough feed to make many pounds of poultry
and dozens of eggs, and that feed must entirely
go to waste if no poultry consumes it. Insects,
weed-seeds, table scraps spilled grain about the
stables and granares-all this is lost without
poultry, yet it may be converted into meat worth
in market not four to six cents pound, in the
of four-footed animals, but ten to twenty-five
cents pound.
