Make Them All Paw.

The Crowley Signal gives the followins
advice to the Crowley city council which
applies in every municipality in the state

Monroe council
At a recent meeting of the city council
Alderman Cheney made suggestion that
appeared to find favor with the council
and that should be adopted at once. Mr..
Cheney suggested that hereafter street
fairs and all tent attractions that show
here under the auspices of any local Or
ganization should be required to pay Ii
cense. light bills, etc, as if they were
showing on their own responsibility.
For years it has been the custom of
street fairs and other fake shows to per
suade some local organization to allow the
use OF its name, giving a small percentage
OF the profits as an inducement. It has
been the custom of the city to waive the
license fee, which ordinarily should be not
less than $780, and in some cases the city
has furnished the lights free to helpsout

the show appears. Generally the local
organization does not get as much for its
share as the city would have received for.

they have been tolerated for the sole rea-
son that some local organization has ex-
pected TO pick up few cents-at the ex-
pense of the city and many others.
Alderman Cheney insists that it would
be better for the city to collect the full
fees in every case and donate to the local
organizations if necessary. Certainly
something should be done to protect the
city treasury from these periodical raids

April 80 Tuberculosis Day.

April 30 has been set aside this year as
tuberculosis Day. and will be observed
in 100000 churches in the country in a
manner similar to that of tuberculosis
Sunday in 1910, when over 10000 ser
mons were preached on the prevention OF
consumption. In onerespect tuberculosis
Day viii differ from tuberculosis Sunday
Of 1910. Instead Of requesting churches
to give to the tuberculosis cause a spe-
cial Sunday service, it is proposed this
year that meetings, at which the subject
Of tuberculosis and its prevention can be
discussed, be held on Sunday. April 80, or
on any other day near that date, either
in the week preceding or the week follow
ing, the object being to have the whole
subject of tuberculosis discussed in all of
the 100000 churches of the United States
at as nearly the same time as possible.

Right and Wrong Feeding.

How much feed is wasted and none
lost by wrong systems of feeding is show
ny tests made at the Texas Agriculture
Experiment Station, as reported in it
Bulletin No. i31. Six pigs weighing 25
pounds were fed on corn for 81 days
They made gain of 115 pounds, costin,
Sl4 49 per 100 pounds. The feed was thel
changed to balanced ration (1:5.17 con
slstlng of 4 parts each corn chops and rick
bran and part tankage.. In SO days. the
pigs gained 248 pounds, costing $3.15 pei
lO0 pounds. In other words. change
from an unbalanced ration (corn) to q
balanced ration reduced the cost by rs
per cent. or nearly four-fifths. This is
very reliable proof that there is no profit
in raising hogs on corn, and that it is very
important to feed growing hogs on the
kind of food that will make them put on
flesh. This does not mean that corn is
not good feed to finish hogs on. but that
it IS not a good feed for growing pigs
when fed alone.
The reason for this is that corn does
not contain enough of the food element
(protein) which growing animals require
for building muscles. organs, skin, hair,
bones, etc. The starch and fat in corn are
used in supplying bodily heat and energy
and in putting on fat, but not in building
up the body. Rice bran is better ball
anced food for growing animals than is
corn-that is, it contains relatively more
protein. Tankage contains still more pro-
tein. Hence it is that a feed made up of
corn, rice bran and tankage gives greater
and cheaper gain in weight when fed to
hogs.
For the same reason, when hogs are
pastured on sweet potatoes, which are
short on protein. they should be fed tank
age. rice polish, cotton-seed meal Or other
product rich in protein. Alfalfa hay fills
this requirement and is relished by hogs.
Cotton-seed meal should be fed carefully
and in small amounts, and not longer
tiidIl5 Two or three weeks at time. The I
meal should then be held off for couple
Of weeks, and. it may then again be added
g the ration.
But, OF all methods yet worked out to.
produce cheap pork. the system of pasture
citation worked cut at the Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station is believed by the writer

swept by fire and nearly $50 employees
lost their lives. nine-tenths of the victims
being girls and women. Defective exits
ana lack OF tire-escapes were responsible
