WASHINGTON-In the eyes OF
W feminine visitors to the national
capital an object of pre-eminent in
terest just now Is the handsome new
$1,000 automobile in which Mrs. Will
liam IL. Taft may be daily seen spin

Not only is the new car the first ve-

first lady Of the land, but it is prac.
tically the first automobile used by n
mistress of the White House. for Mrs.
Roosevelt rarely entered an automos
bile, being in full sympathy with her
husbands wellknown preiudices on
the subject.
The automobile which has been in

be extremely useful to her in the du-

This position has come to Miss
Blech through no influence, her ap-
pointment being governed entirely by
her unusual capabilities to fill the po-
sition of secretary to Mrs. Taft
During her several years associa-
ton with the bureau of American re-
publics she has gradually risen in sal
airy and position. The director of the
bureau speaks of her in the highest
terms as a clerk, laying particular
stress 4 her fitness as a secretary.
Correspondence was her chief work
in her former position, and her sys-
tematic handling of letters of different
natures will be beneficial to her in her

How Swine MultipIv.

Not long since two gentlemen were
driving by the home of successful
breeder. AS they passed the barn
lots a thrifty little sow pig crossed
the road before them. They remark
ed about the beaut. of the little ami
NAL, and the older of the two said:
You may not believe me at | can
take that little SOW and in four years
with her increase buy the best so
acres there is in this neighborhood
and have enough hogs left to stock
up the farm and pay good share of
the expense in their keeping"
At first thought the statement does
not seem possible, but a little figur-
ing will prove that it is not far from
the truth.
We will suppose that the SOW and
all her female increase will farrow for
the first time when they are year
old, and will give birth to litter
every six months thereafter, and that
each litter will average six pigs, three
males and three females.
AT the end of the first year we have
the SOW and six pigs-three males
and four females. In Is months the
sow has second litter. This brings
the total up to seven sows and six
males. After two years have gone
this sow has her third litter, and each
of the three sows of her first litter
also farrow. This gives us a total
of 19 sows and IS males. In two years
and half the three sows of the sec
ond litter are old enough to farrow.
This brings our number up to 40 le
males and 80 males. In three years
the sows of the first, second and third
litters will farrow, and in addition
the nine that were born to the three
of the first litter. This increases the
number to 81 females and 90 males.
Thus it goes on in progression till
the end of four years, when we have
a total of sos females and 5O7 males
hogs enough to buy a good sized farm.

members to cultivate it, and on a GER

turned into cotton fund for the
purpose of helping hold distressed

corn is to be planted. It is not re-
auired that cotton alone is to be
planted. It is hoped through this

Value OF SE<im-Milk.
We believe that II every dairy farm
er in the land was asked what, in his
judgment, skim milk was worth as
feed, 90 per cent of them would an
swer 10 to Is cents per hundred
pounds" Then, il they were asked
the question, What do you know
about It from fair, intelligent investi-
cation and comparison Of different
ways of feeding it," 95 per cent
would be forced to answer, Moth
ing" We are compelled to this be-
lief from the reports of our COW CEN
sus takers who have asked hundreds
of them these questions.
It is a diseouraging state of affairs
to think over when we consider the
vast number of farmers who each
manufacture thousands of pounds of
this valuable food product and yet
care little or nothing at all about
knowing what it is worth.
Years ago, FL. B. Gufler made ex-
haustive experiments to ascertain
what skim milk was worth fed to
pigs weighing say 100 to It's pounds.
He worked out the conclusion that
when live hogs were worth $3.50 in
the local market, skim milk was
squarely worth 25 cents a hundred
pounds.
C. P. Goodrich demonstrated that
100 pounds of skim milk fed alone,
would make five pounds of weight on
pigs weighing from 100 to 175 pounds;
that, hushel of shelled corn would
make 10 pounds. when fed alone.
That makes 100 pounds of skim milk
worth just % pounds or half bushe1
of shelled corn. But he made the
important discovery that If fed to-
gether, they would make an increased
gain of three pounds, Is pounds in all,
or 20 per cent gain for the wit of
knowing that thing.
Now five pounds of pork at $3.50
hundred makes the skim milk worth
% IL cents a hundred when fed alone,
or slight decrease in Mr. Goodrich's
Judgment from that of Mr. Gurler.
But add | IL pounds, the gain to be
credited to the skim milk in the COM
bination with the corn meal, and we
have an increase in the value of the
milk to 20 IL cents hundred.
We have alluded several times to
our own experiment in determining
the value of skim milk fed to grade
Guel nsey heifer calves. When sold at
seven to ten months of age at s25 a
piece, price which we have never
found any difficulty in obtaining, after
paying for all the solid food eaten by
the calves at the price it could be
| bought for, out of the sale price, and
allowing So for the carcass, the skim
milk the calves ate was credited with

uct.
1t is the difference between feeding
skim milk without thought or intelli.
gent purposes and feeding 1t with
that discrimination that surely every
dairy farmer in The land ought to pos
sess. The way to gain this better
knowledge is plain and its rewards
are great. 1t can be done by pueting
more thought, and the labor that is
born of intelligence, into the problem.
That is the reason why it pays to be a

The government statisticians give
the average value of the twenty and
one-half million horses in this country
at $95.65 per head, which is the aver
age value of three milk cows. Horses
have increased in value S35 a head
over the average for the period from
1898 to 1907. Breeding and taking
care of horses is profitable business,
and good horses can be raised by
farmers as easily and as cheaply as
the foreigners or the firm or man
who devotes large farm exclusively
to breeding horses. 1t is the small
farmers in the foreign countries that
raise the high priced ones imported.
Even if the home market becomes
glutted with good horses there is no
reason why they cannot be exported,
for they can be raised in this coun-
try, yes, even in Minnesota. or the
Dakotas, for less than in many of the
foreign countries from which they are
imported. But the only way to do it
is to do 1t right.
