KEEP ONLY GOOD HOGS.

POSSIBLY there is 10 other farm am
NAL that can offer as poor an eS,uo0

lie is an u~aproftable animal any W.!
YOU take him.
AS an economical pork producer ne
is a failure. Even his AFFINITY 70 shlt
for himself does not recommend him
to the people within the limit of his
range, and he has the reputation OF
brewing on nei.hboring cornlielas
when food is scarce.
His build naturally aaapts him 70
his n of living. since he Is long
legged. narrow in the chest, has q
long, narrow snout. This aGapts him
to his manner Of living. With the
scrub hog it is root. hog. OF de-
hence the long snout. His narrow
body aids him in getting through
small fence-cracks and if he fails to
find a place large enough to go
through the fence. he can soon dig
under with the long snout.
Their is no standard of excellence
for the scrub hog since he may pos
sess almost any form except a beauti-
full one; he may be of any color.
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still! survive.
He is regarded as being able 10
resist disease better than the improved
breeds of hogs. We Very much doubt
whether this quality attributed to tbs
scrub hog is true since We have motto
ed that the hog cholera takes the scrub
as well as the well bred hog.
one thing is sure that the scrnb
hog can consume more valuable feed
and give less IN return than any other
animal that We know of.

NOES seldom needs any other corn-crit
than his hogs.
lie never gets rich selling pork anc
in fact if he depends upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred logs he would own better
ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he is not able te
buy better stock. In fact. this is tn.
excuse usually given for his existence
Poor farming and scrub hogs are usu
ally found associated together.

4 VARIETY OF COMMENT
BY President H. .. Alexander

rms IS the season or the year when
farmers have the burning fever. |
have seen many evidences Of it al
ready in my travels. Its blackened
trail can be seen and read Of all good
farmers. 1t plays havoc With the farm
er's soil and leaye him With empty
purse. His crops burn up for lack
OF moisture, and he wonders why his
land runs together and gets hard
SO o after a rain. He feeds his crop
literally With high-priced fertilizers,
but he leaves the vitaliZing. ~nitrifying
bacteria to starye for want of the life
giving humus. He sees but little eff
feet from the fertilizer and says it is
no good" And for once he is right;
it is no good on a shallow soil with
all the humus burnt II Of it. That
farmer ought TO SOW his land to peas
and work for wages. He. strips old
Mother Earth of all her clothing and
leaes her nakedness an eye-sore to all
progressive farmers. Why are farmers
50 foolish?
Please dom prepare a large acreage
for cotton and tobacco and forget what
YOU are farming for-to make a liv-
ing. You cannot eat either of these
crops. though YOU may wear out the

is DUE TO WEATHER.
Grip Epidemic Is Now Sweeping Gen,
trail Kansas.

Abilene and Dickinson county, In
fact all central and western Kan
sas, is experiencing decided epi-
tiemic Of grip according to local ply
sicians who kept ON the go as the
result of this disease since the lat
ter part Of last week. Most doctors
say there is very little serious ILL
ness on account Of the disease, but
at It Is bad enough to be very ag-
gravating to those afflicted.
But they also say that a part Of
the sickness Is due to carelessness
OF the patients, who when the tenn
perature has changed during the
past few days, or stormy weather
has prevailed, have not dressed ac-
cordingly. One physician said this
morning:
There is a grip germ just the
same as for any germ disease and 1t
is contagious and infectious. How
ever, the germ may be in the body
many months and never show up
at all, except as the weather brings
vitality to the germ. Young and
old people are more susceptible to
the la grippe germ than those Of
middle age whose vitality Is pro-
nounced enough to stay the activity
and increased life Of the germ,
"of course there is little grip in
warm weather because that is not
the season in which this kind Of
germ does his work. Every person
has some sort Of germ in his body,
but there must be certain condi-
lions prevalent, before the germ
shows up with grip or any other dis
ease"
