There is a difference between grow
ing and fattening pigs. During the
early period Of a pigs life the feed
should be moderate in quantity and
bone and muscle building in quality.
Young swine should not be kept fat,
but in good flesh and in thrifty,
growing condition. They should be
allowed the chance Of large, free ex-
ercise In the open. Pigs cannot grow
good. large frames for top-notch finish
ing when confined in small Enclosures.
Exercise and a variety of feeds rich
In mineral matter and nitrogen will
make them grow strong, with healthy
vital organs.
Circulation and respiration must be
good in a hog for 1t to mature prop
erly and ward off disease. After the pig
has acquired a good frame and Is past
the age Of to 6 months then it may
be confined In closer quarters and fed
on more fattening and exclusive diet.
It is in a physical condition then to

Mr.. Roosevelt,s Great Deeds.


To New York writer, who asked
what he considered the notable
achievements of his administra ton,
Theodore Roosevelt placed Panama
first, the fleets around thew orld-S30.-
100000 jaunt next, and the Jap Russ
treaty third.
The panama canal is just begun. If
any one deserves credit for it. that
credit belongs to Congress. which had
the courage to vote the needed funds.
Mr. Roosevelt has beal very free in
MS abuse of that same Congress. The
fleets costly trip has not impressed
upon any foreign power any respect
not already acquired through its pri-
vate sources of information regarding
our navy. The Portsmouth negotia-
tons edited this free republic by the
spectacle of its president meddling in
a war which did not concern him.
These three achievements Indicate the
Roosevelt pride of war, and nothing
else
The working West voted for him in
full belief that such a loud champion
of fair play would put a stop to taxa
ton of the West for the enormous
profit Of Eastern tariff barons. Yet.
during seven years in the White House.
the same Roosevelt who demanded free
trade In 1884 did not raise finger to
help US. The golden tide flowed wider
and deeper than ever from the pockets
of the toiling West to the Golfers of
money kings who dwell in the shadow
of the White House itself. Roosevelt,
the war lord Of America, broke faith
with the West Our cry for relief from
tariff bondage has fallen on ears deaf
to all but wars and rumors of wars.
War has been the Roosevelt obsession.
War. Always war. Our tariff laws,
like our currency laws, are legacy
OF war. Born Of exigency, they have
fastened upon this country system
by which the private revenue of !im-
tied number of Eastern trust mag
mates is made enormous at the ex-
pense of the general average of indi.
vidual prosperity.
The West for years has been plum
dered under this antique tariff system
for the benefit Of the East, and Mr..
Roosevelt did nothing to put stop to
it. He may be proud of his record,
but the West is not. It's idol of four
years ago has feet of clay.-Chicago

BY feeding his corn to hogs the farm
err saves the hauling and prevents the

To attempt to fatten sheep affected

Paralysis in young pigs is brought
about by too heavy feeding. Take

A low down knee is desirable in a

Breeders like to have sheep with

W0ODWARDPL WITH WORK AT
 IRON GAP
GENERAL MANAGER RETURNS TO CITY TO FIND EVERYTHING
 IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

General Manager F. A. Woodward of the National Mining Exploration com pany, who recently returned from a ten days trip to Los Angeles, is well pleased with the progress made by the force at work on the Williams shaft on the Iron Cap property near Copper Hill
 The shaft has now reached depth of 160 feet, and indications so far have been very favorable to the belief that an extensive ledge carrying copper will be found at greater depth. The Will Hams shaft has been sinking in diabase, and at present, the bottom of it is in ground that shows a nigh percentage of iron.
 The National Mining Exploration company is employing two shifts a day in sinking the Williams shaft, and with the use of the machine drills and air compressor installed just before MT. Woodward went to the coast, the work is being rushed. At present, an exten- sion is being made to the stack to i'm prove the draught. It is expected that the copper bearing vein will be struck in the Williams shaft at a depth of about 800 feet, and certainly, so fer, every indication points to an ore strike at that depth.
