GOV. HASKELL
 WON'T RESIGN
Says He Was Vindicated in the State Campaign
 Last Fall

Kansas City, Sept. 21. Charles N. Haskell, governor of Okla homa and treasurer of the Demo- cratic National Committee, pessed through Kansas City en route from the East, where he has been making speeches for the Democratic ticket, to his home in Oklahoma Mir. Haskell was asked if the charges of William K. Hearst, that he was connected with the Standard Oil Company, would cause him to resign from the National Committee. He said:
 Resign! Positively nonsense. Why 1 was vindicated of those charges in the state campaign last fall when 1 licked the whole bunch.
 Now I brand Hearst's state ments as falsehoods. 1 said 1 would not resign a minute ago, didn't I? We'll, If MT. Hearst can prove a single statement will quit at once."
 AS his train pulled out MT. Haskell shouted:
 And don't forget to say that the campaign fund is growing fine. l am going home for a few days and then will go back to Chicago. Yes, Pm satisfied with the outlook. ,"

MS detrimental to the best development OF
Hwine from the breeders standpoint. These
Things arc the cause of a gradual drift
ing toward a more mixed ration In swine
feeding, and usually a ration containing
more protein or flesh forming material.
coupled with this, there is not SO great a
demand for fat pork as there formerly
was, and shipping and cold storage facili-
ties are much better, consequently more
flesh and lean meats are used. These var

hogs under confederation here weigh from
1ss to 195 pounds and range Ia age from
six to eight month";. They ere Gimply

erai, that conform as nearly as possible
to tho bacon type. They arc not very fat,
have fairly good development OF muscle,

30 per cert. OF the light hogs that come
TO the Chicago market are OF this type.
Choice bacon hogs are tho best of this
class they are hogs that show good length
and depth, good quality. and art smooth,
well developed, and not very fat. They
are hogs that have had considerable exer-
else and rave not been fed on an exclusive
ration. These bacon hogs are selected for
the most part from shipments that come
from outside the corn belt, where tho
principal feed is similar to that used In
Great Britain, Denmark and Canada for
bacon production, viz. pats, bailey, rye
peas. skim milk and pasture. These arc

Rotation of Crops.
BY c. S. Arnold, Lake Geneva, Wis.

Few farmers plant the ans crops on
the same land year after year, having
learned by experience IL not by pre-
cept that It pays best to change or
rotate the crops.
The rotation practiced by many
farmers is more or less haphaZard, de-
pending upon all sorts OF circum-
stances. I know q farmer who sowed
oats until 1t was time to plant corn,
planted corn until time to SOW buck
wheat, and what land was left after
It was too late TO SOW buckwheat grew
up to weeds. While this method has
some advantages. they are not enough
to recommend Ii to the thrifty farmer
who is trying to make interest and
taxes on h.Eh priced land.
We must have q more careful meth
cd, a settled rotation OF crops, so that
we will know several years In advance
what crops are to be planted on each
separate field. and be able to get the
land into Thoroughly good condition for

There "a be no one best rotation Of
crops, for he eason that there is

heavy clay soil; or of raising sugar

Good Business.

OF h treasury, was talking at a din
ner about the recent panic.
There's a story about q well known
railroad man in the panic that Is al
most too good" said Mr.. C~ortelyou.
This man is kindhearted, and he was
deeply moved by a letter that a country
parson wrote him when things were
looking their worst.
THE letter ran like this: d
Dear Sir: As the pastor OF --
church my aim has always been invest
ment n not speculation. Regarding
your railroad as a sound business In
stitution, solid as a rock, in 1904, / pur-

banker read this letter several times
and each time his pity for the poor old
parson increased. Finally calling In his
stenographer, he wrote to the man that,
considering all the painful circum-
stances of the case, he would himself
buy back the 400 hares at LOG, the price
the parson had paid for them.
Immediately on receipt of this gen.
erous letter the parson wired to his
brokers:
"'Buy 400 Dash Railways at 90 and
send same round to Dash's president,
who will give you LOG for them"

Press bulletin No. 1877, just issued by
the veterinary department, experiment
station, Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, follows:
Within the past year a large number
OF reports have come to this Office from
different parts of the state of h APP
pears to be a paralysis of the back and
limbs of hogs. The young pigs are the
ones most generally affected. The cause
has been found to be from overlooking
young, growing pigs on an exclusive
diet of corn and water. Fat Is put on
the pigs too rapidly. with the result
that the weak bones of a growing pig
cannot support the rapidly-put-on
flesh. The first symptoms noticed are
hat the pigs refuse their feed and walk
rather stiffly, continuing to grow
worse until they can barely raise them
selves upon their front legs. h pigs
die Of starvation. rs they cannot drag
themselves to the trough.
Treatment-To prevent young pigs
getting sick, a very small amount OF
corn should be fed them while nursing
their mothers. Then gradually increase
the mount of corn. When weaned,
feed ground feed of bran, shorts, corn,
and a little boneIneal mixed with suffi-
Gent milk to make a thin slop.
After young pigs are p~aralyzed IL is
best to take all corn away from them
and see hat they are placed at a
trough Of milk in which has been
stirred bran and the following tonic,
which Is recommended by the bureau
of animal industry as a preventive
against hog cholera and swine plague,
n which is also a very good tonic for
hogs:
