They grow and thrive better when

plying 1t to them fresh. and in large
quantities. must be provided. When in
the field. hogs do not come up and
drink In droves as they do In the
yards; therefore, 1t is necessary to
keep water before them continually.
When fields adjacent to the farmstead
are used. hogs can be brought up to
the yards and watered or fed slop as
usual: where fields remote from the
farmstead are used. the simplest way
Is to fill several barrels or casks with
water and haul them by team on

The variety of corn usually grown in
locality is the proper kind to grow
for hogsing OF purposes. since 1t Is
probably the best adapted to the local
ity and gives the largest yield. How
ever, getting an early start In the fat
tening process Is very advantageous.
and it sometimes happens when pas
ture supplies are short or the early
sale of hogs is desirable. that such n
variety does not mature early enough.
To be prepared for such conditions. It
Is well to grow a sufficient amount OF
sweet corn or early maturing flint corn
to tide over until the field corn Is
ready for use. No more than Is suf-
ticient for early fall feeding should be
grown since 1t costs Just as much to
grow these varieties as 1t does the
dent and they yield much less. Flint
corn is preferable to sweet corn for
hogs, and field feeding of flint corn
gives better results than where
husked and fed after the corn has
hardened.
One OF the great objections In grow
ing flint and other early varieties Of
corn has been the difficulty OF harvest
ing tlrem. Feeding them of with live
stock eliminates this objection. and II
would seem that they might be grown
and utilized more extensively.
Pigs weighing from 100 to lao
pounds are best suited for field feed

A Principle Betrayed.

The theory of the primary is
that it gives the suffragan prlva-
cy and independence of the bal
lot, alike free from espionage at
the polls and trickery of conven-
tons. 1t is a pretty and appeal
ing theory, and in the hands of
men honestly persuaded of its
value in these respects it is prac-
ticable, but from open foes and
secret enemies it shows itself
lamentably lacking.
By an ingenious clause in the
primary election law of Louisl-
ana, whether designed in aid OF
the ignorant but worthy voter he
best knows who framed it.,
whereby the commissioner is al
lowed to assist the voter in mark
ing his ballot, all privacy is de-
stroyed and the door is opened
wide to surveillance and dicta-
ton. On the other hand, the
making by the bosses Of a state
for state officers which held their
followers in line as securely as ii
the candidates specified had been
the nominees of a convention.
This action by the bosses was
ratified in a caucus after the first
primary, and their slate was
again boldly announced. >
b Thus has the vital principle Of
D the primary been betrayed II
the house of it's seeming friends
and while the great body of free
voters throughout the state neec
not have expected any better
they should nevertheless resen
bitterly this open violation of TIN
spirit of the law. They SHOULD
resist ,dictation in the only wa!
they can: by not voting for thu
men whom. the. b. bosses $50: have e Sc
apart with the seal of their ap
prevail. It is seemingly unjus
to these candidates, but when i
is noted that the boss-cau
proved candidates have raised n
voice 70 disclaim this betrayal o
the principle, it may safely b
assumed that they are parties t
IL.
