Finish-feed of Ground Corn,
Maize and Kaffir Corn
Mixed.

II any one doubts the advisability
Of raising hogs on alfalfa, visit to
the Cox ranch would be all the
convincing proof necessary. A glance
at those fat sleek Red Durocs would
convince any doubling Thomas.
Frank keeps his big bunch Of fine
porkers on fresh feed all the time
by having different fields Of alfalfa.
When one field Is pretty well de-
voured they are turned into another
and then another. this process being
repeated until the fattening business
is completed 10 a period when 1t is
deemed advisable TO finish fattening
on ground corn, maize and KafRr
corn, all raised on the farm and
ground with a farm mill. Alfalfa
is the sole diet for about six months
and 1t just makes the hogs laugh
every day to think how well they
are fed. Then comes the finishing
process Of ground feed for about
six or seven months, and the fat
sleek fellows are ready for the top
Of the market.
With his new pumping outfit
Frank has all the water he wants
and besides his 40 acres Of alfalfa,
he will raise this year Is acres Of
pink beans and 20 acres of forage
crops. Mr.. and Mrs. Cox have a
coy new ranch home and are pre-
pared to enjoy life. II won't b.
long before Frank can just boss the
job and drive to town in his auto.

SUFFRAGE A
REWARD FOR
BIG FAMILIES

To fight race suicide with the suf-
frage is the aim of plan evolved by
Rev. d. S. Phelan, st. Louis editor
and priest. He believes that If voting
power is proportioned to the number
of children in family there will be
more babies. Father Phelan sets forth
his plan as follows:
In some states women's suffrage is
based on the question whether they
are property ownerF A man or wom-
an of property is supposed to have
more interest in the welfare of the
atate than one who has no such ST Ike.
But the giving of a new citizen to
he nation offers a greater pledge
tnan the richest landowner
Political economists could tell us
the value in dollars and cents TO the
commonwealth of newborn babe.
On this principle we would have
three kinds of suffrage-mankind suf-
frGte, family suffrage, and property
suffrage. | would give evtry family
al additional vote for every child
born into it. If a couple has ten chill
oren, we would give the family twelve
votes.
In case the couple agreed politically
We would permit the father to cast
the whole twelve votes. 4 the couple
were divided on their views Of poll,
t!cians, we would give the wife her
own vote and the votes OF all her
daughters, and the husband his own
vote and those of all his sons. This
would give the women suftragists all
they now demand and mora. bat ii
would disfranchise the children 1t
would encourage large femill 3.
