laborers or working men ar farmers or
ministers or teachers ar lawyers Take
the present antitrust law and insert
Il special exception In the application
Of that law by providing that ii should

il would be legislation of the most
vicious character: but you make the

because the statute would not seem
wide enough to include IL in its scope

power to hear and entertain complaints

This brings mo to the question of
the antitrust law. While we have not
threshed the whole matter out SO as
to reach a definite conclusion, / am
still inclined To the view that the way
IL make the antitrust law more effee-
tive Is to narrow its scope somewhat
50 that it shall not include in its pro-
hibition and denunciatoin AZ n crime
anything but a conspiracy or combina-
ton ar contract entered into with
actual intent To manopolize or suppress
competition in interstate trade.

establish an aceusatory bureau in the
department OF justice TO institute
prosecutions for violations of the in
terstate commerce law and OF the anti
trust law. while 1t would be wise to
continue the bureau of corporations,
enlarging its scope somewhat perhaps
To maintain the registration of cor
poratinns and the investigation into
their operation so far as interstate
trade Is concerned.
1T has been found most difficult to
operate the administrative from the
quasi judicial functions of the inter-
state commerce commission. but il is
thought that ii would be wise 10 take
away from them any responsibility N
regard to the investigation of validity
Of the orders before the interstate

maintenance OF those orders To the de-
partment nf justice when the appeal

Excessive Rainfalls

Many of the most successful of the
dry farming operations have owed
their prosperity, in part at least, to ex.
cessive rainfall 1t is the purpose of
the dry farming methods to make ag.
riculture successful in regions having
from ten to 20 inches of rainfall in the
year. This year one section where
dry farming is carried on received 30
inches of rainfall in the first nine
months of the year, and great deal
of the crop was lost because there
was too much rain. That particular
section has had great deal more rain
this year than has the state of Vir-
ginia. where farming operations are
based upon the theory of humid ag-
riculture. This of course is an excep-
tional case.

HOG NOTES.

Pease produce a firm pork. but
beans give an extremely soft fat.
Feeding mixed meal with skim milk
usually insures firm meat
Frozen wheat may be used as a
profitable feed for swine.
Pigs whose rations are limited
make, on the whole, more economical
gains than pigs that are rushed
II will not pay to cook feed for
swine where economy of pork produc-
ton Is the sole consideration
There is gradual increase in the
quantity of feed consumed for every
pound of gain in live weight after the
average live weight exceeds 100
pounds,
Glover pasturage seems to have a
tendency to soften the pork when fed
throughout the whole feeding period
but this was not the result in all
cases.
Rape, pumpkins, artichokes, sugar
beets, turnips and mangels can be
fed in conjunction with a good ration
without injuring the quality of the
pork.
Type of animals fed influences char.
acter of meat more than breed, l. e..
the fact of an animal being a York.
shire or a Tamworth will not insure
a good bacon carcass, but they must
also be of rangy type and fed

It would probably be hard to over
estimate the value of skim milk as
part OF every ration, especially for
young pigs; the fact here brought out
regarding its hardening effect upon
the fat shows 1t to have an additional
junction of great Importance.

Plans Homegoing of Irishmen in 1910

The plan is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during the
months of July. August and Septem.
ber, 1t is proposed that the various
Irish organizations, notably the A. o..
H., and the Gaelic league shall take
mp the movement and carry 1t
through. Kilkenny does not claim
personal originality for the idea but
he gave It initial impetus and has ta-
ken upon himself the burden of inter-
esting Irish societies in the plan.
More than sentimental purpose
animates those who have undertaken
this ambitious task While the pros.
pect of visit to the old country, at
reduced transportation rates, and in
the glory of midsummer will form a
leading incentive, the real purpose of
the movement is to stimulate Irish
industry. Kilkenny has made several
visits TO his old home in ireland and
each time has been impressed with
the industrial possibilities of the coun-
try and the apparent hopelessness of
improving conditions without organ
lied effort. He takes the position that
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Ireland have not been de-
veloped TO one-tenth of their capac.
ity. Capital is needed to develop
them and Kilkenny believes that it
will be forthcoming If the Irish people
in this country are given an opportun-
ity to see with their own eyes that
proltable Investments can be made
