STATE INSURANCE
AGAINST POVERTY
Bill Approved Enthusiastically in the
House of Commons

London, May 5.-The long prom
Used scheme for state insurance
against unemployment, sickness and
invalidity was introduced in the
House of Commons today by David
Lloyd George, chancellor of the En-
chequer, and received extraordinary
appreciation by all parties While
the government supporters hail the
insurance measure as the most com
prehensive plan of constructive leg
islation introduced in parliament, the
general opinion is that Chancellor
Lloyd George is too optimistic in re
gard to the cost of the scheme to
state and employers, and strong
note of criticism already is emanat-
ing from the great manufacturers.
The situation appears To be that
even if the opposition dislikes the
measure, as socialistic they will not
dare oppose it after the success
which attended the pensions scheme.
The measure proposes an expenditure
Of $35.O00.OO0 in 1913-l4 and will
reach 500. O0C. 900 by 1920.

The unrest which marks general

The kind of voice that the ideal tele-

kind that caused the gentleman in

somewhat of a waste of the operators

stop and thank her for il. But then. as
things go in the world, where so little

that a large number would do this
There is another point to be con-
sidered about the telephone voice How
many persons are driven to the very
verge of profanity by hearing the words

it isn't any such thing And if the
words come harshly from Central the

low, half the agony is saved. Some

So a gracious voice would help out
the fiction about the line that isn't

Telephone girls however are not the

the subject Of the telephone voice is
worthy Of speculation. Telephone girls
arc themselves subjected to voices.
Those who talk 10 them do not see a
pretty young woman with her hair all

So persons think they can use heated

Naluc Of Salt TO Cottlc.

A good many do not understand the
chief value of salt for live stock. Pro-
fessor Henry In referring to this says
that a moderate addition Of salt to
the roughage given animals increases
the activity OF the secretion of the
body juices and their circulation, and
consequently increases the protein
consumption of the body.
Salt has a stimulating influence on
the appetite of the animal, facilities
the passage of the albuminoids from
the digestive canal into the blood.
and I'm general increases the energy
of the vital process. The feeding Of
salt is therefore especially correct
with horses. young animals and dairy
cows when fed to their fullest ca
paclty.
Another effect Of salt is to Increase
the excretion Of urine. If after sup
plying salt the animal is prevented
from drinking water. the water which
otherwise passes off through the
lungs and skin will be diverted
in the kidneys. and If the supply from
this source is not sufficient, water
will be further drawn from the body
tissues. The live weight Of the ami
NAL may therefore shrink rapidly
when salt is administered and little
water offered.

From Pig Babyhood to Market
Some Suggestions on Making Money in the Hog Busi
ness by Farmer Who is DoingIt

Every farmer who raises us many
as lOO hogs in a year, ought to divide
them into spring and fan herds. By
this means he viii be able to distribute
the labor to suit his convenience, econ
umizc in room, sell when the market
suits him, and furnish his customers
on short notice, any kind of pork
desired, from sucking roast to prime
bacon.
The thoroughly practical man can
turn hogs into money very rapidly,
but the business needs to be- ON scale
extensive enough to enable him to
properly divide his fields and build
ings, and to make thorough cXpcr-
iments, with different types, and diff
forent kinds Of food
have observed two or three bad
failures recently which were caused
primarily BY the old and erroneous
idea that hogs do not require much
ground room or forage.
In raising pork for the market. the
farmer ought to keep I'm mind these
vital points: Cost Of feeding, danger
of disease Of sickness, ana range If
market prices.
Starting the season with 50 to 100
pigs just weaned, the owner should
provide pasturage of some kind.
would give this lot of young animals
one mess per day, Of bran and shorts
moistened with slops, skinned milk
or whey. This is ample in a grass lot
Of five or ten acres.
Glover is excellent for forage. but
artichokes and rape are better \
little corn soaked in water is good
when the pigs begin to show growth.
What they need above all else, how
ever, is the range with just about
such a line Of food as would be re-
quired to give young cattle a steady
and rapid growth. Field-peas ought
to be available toward the end Of
summer The hogs can be allowed to
do the harvesting themselves.
This will give firmness and sweet
ness to the flesh and coud be used
right through the fall, instead of corn.
My preference would be TO give the
final month to dressing up with
corn. This crop being ready i'm oct
obcr, the fattoning process can be
rushed through the month of New
ember. or until conditions are right
for marketing
The clearcst profit is made IN ten
months, at which age, the hogs ought
to average 25O pounds Animals that
get good pasturage, and about such a
diet as | have described. are pretty
sure to escape disease. 1t is essential
TO have plenty Of pure water in the
hog lot.
The farm should include three or
four small fields, securely fenced, so
that one kind Of forage could be
rested. while the other was used. Then
again. If the owner detects fever or
other sickness I'm the herd, It is easy
to segregate those animals which are
affected. Prompt action along this
line. may prevent heavy loss.
Diprirg is another essential. and as
It Is neither difficult or expensive. It
ought TO bc attended to. twice each

the stock will get a steady growth,
from beginning to end.
