Pasture For Hogs

"Pasture for Hogs" is the title
of a bulletin just issued by the Mis-
souri, State Board OF Agriculture.
In an Introductory to this bulletin,
which was prepared by F. G. King,
live stock assistant for the board,
Secretary George B. Ellis writes as
follows:
"Missouri is one of the leading
states in the Union in the produc-
ton of hogs. According to the re-
port of the State Labor Commits
sioner, there were shipped from
the state during the year 1908 1878
1853 head. 1t is estimated that there
were consumed on the farms and
locally, during the year, 1900, 600
making a total of more than 5000
900 heads produced in n year.
Estimated upon the basis of values
during the past few weeks these
hogs are worth in the market ap-
proximately 70 millions of dollars.
In addition to this amount, there
were on the farms probably 600 600
head of hogs used for breeding
purposes, valued at a conservative
estimate, 9 millions of dollars, max
ing a total valuation for the hogs
produced in N year, including
those on hand for breeding pur-
poses, $40, OOO, O0O."
In the preparation of this bulle-
tin Mr.. King made a very thorough
Investigation and secured reports
from several hundred of the lead
ing hog raisers of the state. Sum-
maries of these reports are given,
together with tables showing the
results of ~hog-feeding experiments
conducted at the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
The farmer who raises hogs, and
this includes almost every Missouri
farmer will find in this bulletin
valuable information of a practical
rather than of a theoretical nature.

The Kansas City Journal last
week learned Bomething-anent the
selfishness of some people. John
H. Curran of st. Louis, appointed
by Gov. Folk on the State Immi-
grafton Board, the Journal found,
was using his position to boost st.
Louis, at the expense of Kansas
City and the rest of the state.
Nothing strange about that-he's
only caught the "all-hog st. Louis
Itch" The people bf st. Louis
are taught that the rest OF the state
as simply ITS back yard.
Compared in a business way,
Kansas City has already got ST.
Louis beaten except in volume.
Prices generally are higher in Kan
sas City but a man can expect more
honorable treatment. The aver
age st. Louis business man will sell
you something "below cost" and
trick you out OF a lot more, while
In Kansas city you're frankly told
that you must pay living prices
and usually get good values. The
golden rule Us a good one in bust

a o of other subjects, includ-
ding discussions of the figures on
cowpeas, rape, oats, sorghum, pun

table shows the time to SOW the
different crops for hog pasture and
gives the number of hogs that can
be pastured on the differen; for

There are in this bulletin several
very attractive pictures of hogs on
the different kinds of pasture. One
picture shows a little girl out in a
pasture where two sows with l!tters
of pigs by their side are enjoying
the grass. The little girl who has
a bucket on her arm, is looking at
the fine fat "piggies" with evident
admiration. Under the picture is
the legend, "The Spirit that

genial carpenter, with a broad-axe

The .sWoes of the Country"

SO
An Atchison County farmer, says
a writer in the Atchison Daily
Globe, was "dragging his mile Of
road" and at the corner met a
neighbor who had a bad piece of
road in front OF his farm. Dad
roads are the least of my troub. es,"
said the second man, "and," he
continued "did you eve stop to
think that this is a one-man coun-
tryT The listener replied that he
had been busy dragging roads late
ly and had not noticed it. ,
"Well,p continued he who was not
worried about bad roads, at is a
fact, and we are but little better
off than Russia. / car get along
for the rest of my life, but 1 am
alarmed for my children. This one
man country and the trusts are
sapping at our very vitals."

er on the road drag, "and / want

"In the first place, good roads

bad spots in it, just as there are
bad spots in your farm, and in

few bad spots are not the whole
country, by a long shot.

it is a mile to the other end of the
road and I have two more rounds
to make, 1 must be getting along
before that rain catches me-"
Farmer number one moved off.
He looked back and saw his neigh
Dor still standing, looking intent
ly at the ground. There was no
indication that his talk had had
any effect. 1t takes work to drag
a road, while it is not much trouble
to read a rabid, foolish newspaper

Cores Hen Story.

Pleasant Hill, Mo. Aug. 21.-Sen-
ator Gore of Oklahoma is given
credit for this story, told on his
recent visit to a Methodist conven-
ton at st. Joseph. 1t is related by
the Rev. Mr.. Williams, pastor of
the Baptist Church of Pleasant
Hill who happened to hear it.
According to Senator Gore there
was an accomplished hen with a
brood of .chickens-five ROSTERS
and five pullets. The chicks ma
tured and went their various ways
while the mother hen busted her
self with a new brood. In curse
of time Methodist ministers came
into the vicinity of Chickenville to
hold a conference and as might be
suspected, the five young ROSTERS,
fat, acknowledged and extremely
tender, were feasted upon by var
ious and sundry preachers. The
young pullets left behind were met
by the mother hen a day or so later
"My children" she asked "where
are your brothers?p
"They- have entered the ministry"
Bracing herself from the shock
of disclosure, a look of resignation
spread over Biddy's countenance
as she replied:
swell, my dears, perhaps it is
all for the best. They would not
have made very good lay members
anyway"

ADvERTTsTNG FRAUDS.

One of the members of the house OF
representatives of the state OF Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Godfrey, has introduced
bill which proposes to make it a mis-
demeanor for any person or corpora
ton to make any fraudulent repre-
sensations in an advertisement. such
as bankrupt" damaged goods"
and fire sales" when the goods Of
fered for sale are not a part of q
damaged or bankrupt stock. The bill
is wide in it's scope and has resetn-
blance to pure food legislation in that
it requires advertisements of all goods
to state precisely the materials that
are contained in them.
Advertisements of claims of superior
professional skill or containing offers
of mo cure, no pay" money back If
not cured" or contract of cure" Of
fered, or false statements of any kind
come under the prohibitions of the
bill, as do those containing fictitious
testimonials.
Violations of this measure, IL it be-
came law, would be punished by a
fine of not less than 500. Each days
continuance of the publication of such
an advertisement would be construed
as a separate offense.
1t would seem that all of the states
might well consider legislation of this
sort. The amount of fake advertising
in the country is of enormous extent.
Something should be done to prevent
it, not only because the public should
be protected against frauds of this
character but also in the interests of
the legitimate advertiser. And the
time to root out such an evil is now
when advertising is developing into
such gigantic proportions as an almost
necessary adjunct to each and every
division of the business world.

THE MARCH OF PEACE.

Preparations have about been COM
pleted for the Second National Peace
Congress which will be held in Chicago
on May 3-5, and there is good reason to
believe that its deliberations will con-
tribute not little to the progress of
the world. The First National Peace
Congress was held in New York in
1907, just on the eve of the assembling
of the Second Hague Conference, and
contributed largely to the success of
forty-four nations were represented.
The coming congress in Chicago will be
similar to the New York congress. Its
great object will be the Strengthening
of public sentiment for international
arbitration and the consideration of
the next steps to be taken toward the
realization of universal peace. Speak
ers of worldwide reputation will par
ticipate. including officials of the gov
eminent of the United States as we'll
as prominent officials of Great Britain,
Germany, France, Japan China, South
America and other countries. Special
legal. educational, religious. industrial
and commercial sessions have been ar
ranged for, and the event will undoubt-
eddy be a memorable one.
Evidence that the principle of arbi-
tration has achieved great triumphs
Is presented in the official announce
ment of the Chicago Congress. It points
out that within a century more than
260 important controversies between
nations have been settled by this pa
cific means. At the Second Hague
Conference, two years ago, 35 powers
representing 1,2s5, 272, 900 inhabitants
voted for general obligatory arbitra-
ton; powers. representing So. So. 00(
inhabitants, refrained from voting;
while only powers, representing 49,
1861 inhabitants, voted against it
Thus has the civilized world by the
vote Of the official representatives OF
nearly nine-tenths of its population de-
clared itself in favor OF obligatory
arbitration as substitute for war
More than eighty treaties of obligatory
arbitration have been concluded be-
tween the nations in pairs within the
last five years, the United States being
a party to twenty-four of them.
Universal peace may be something Of
dream. something as chimerical a.
the millennium, but it is none the les:
worth striving for and it is such affair.

gress at Chicago that commend them

A TAX ON KNOWLEDGE.

Harper's Weekly, in a recent issue,
calls attention to rather inexcusable
feature OF the Payne tariff bill which
seems to have escaped general notice.
1t really is nothing less than a tax on
knowledge and is discussed by Harper's
as follows:
The Payne tariff bill provides for q
less than twenty years old. This item
million dollars q year, which is good as
might better be raised on something
else. The tax on books. hits books of
substance and merit for which there is
not enough demand in this country to
warrant their publication here under
the protection of the international
copyright law. Such books-histories,
biographies, memoirs, travels, scientific
or philosophical works, and poetry-are
expensive enough at the best. and 1t
seems considerably inexpedient to add
to the cost of them by taxation. The
reading OF these more substantial
works ought to be encouraged. The
quicker the habit of reading them is
acquired by an appreciate number OF
our people the sooner it will be profit
able to publish them here under copy
right protection. A tax on good books
is tax on knowledge, and a tax on
books less than twenty years old is a
tax on news in the world of learning.
A scientific book twenty years old may
still be interesting as a curiosity, but it
is apt to be too much out of date to be
of value to students.
