Buy Feed or Sell PIns2

A good many are asking what they
are to feed their pigs, this season, with
corn at 80 cents a bushel and mid
dlings $1.75 per cwt. and prospects of
going still higher. For the man who
has pigs and no feed, we thing it would
be about the most reasonable thing for
him to sell his pigs to some man who
has feed, and save himself the drudg-
cry of carrying the food to them and
the risk Of losing good money in the
process. 1t is the opinion of the writer
that even with pork abnormally high,
there is no money to be made just now
by feeding hogs on ration that must
all be purchased at current prices.

MAKING FIGHT ON HOG LICE

1t has been a continuous fight with

Dor brings lousy SOW for breeding
and as a result there are plenty Of lice
left TO stock the entire herd. Then
/ have to make fight against hog
lice again.
II the sows have only a few lice
when the pigs are narrowed the entire
litter will soon be polluted with lice.
| have seen numbers Of half grown
lice on the pigs before they were a
week old.
Last spring l mixed hogs lard and
kerosene oil, about equal parts, and
creased the sows with It about ten
days before they were due to farrow,
then in a few days l went over them
again with the grease.
This killed the lice out so there
was not louise found on the pigs
from the time they were farrowed
until they were weaned.
Either the kerosene oil or the lard
will kill the lice all right, but the
kerosene by itself will irritate the
skin and win soon evaporate while the
lard will stay on the hogs for several
days. This mixture will not injure the
skin.

Cara Of StaIIions

A stallion shut up in a dark stall
without the companionship of other
horses often becomes moody and saw
age. Some English stallioners ride a
pony while leading their horses for ex-
ercise, and the horses become so at
tached to the ponies that they become
f7etful and uneasy when they are not
near At night the ponies are given
a stall next to the horses. OF course,
some horses are too savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
with a pony, but if broken to this
treatment when young stations can
be handled in this way.

Alfalfa Better Than Clover.

AS food for all kinds of live stock,
alfalfa has been found the king of
forage crops" 1t is rich in protein
and well adapted for the use in a
feeding ration with corn. It makes
excellent hay, and is more digestible
than most forms Of rough feed. Num-
erous feeding records show that 1t Is

hay, and many feeders claim it to be
almost equal to such materials as

MIGRATION BILL PASSED
Illiteracy Test Prevails Over
City Opposition in House.
From The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Checking a short
Mann, the minority leader the House
passed to-day the Burnett immigration
bill by a non-partisan vote OF 17S TO g.
The measure, which amends existing i'm
migration laws by requiring that aliens
be subjected to an lllteracy test when
applying for admission to this country,
was bitterly opposed by both Democrats
and Republicans whose districts contain
large foreign element.
Representative Burnett was forced to
move to dispense with business on the
regular Wednesday calendar TO put the
bill through to-day. With one exception
calendar Wednesday" has been regarded
as sacred by House members. and many
attempts to set aside this calendar have
been frustrated. Mr.. Burnett. however,
marshalled the required two-thirds vote.
The Burnett bill Is substitute for the
Dillingham; measure. which passed the
senate at the last session. The Senate
bill proposed a revision of all existing i'm
migration laws; the House substitute
merely amends the law by providing that
aliens above the age OF sixteen who are
unable to read and write English or some
other language shall be listed among the
excluded classes" Immigrants who
show that they are fleeing from religious
persecution are exempted from the pro-
vision OF the House bill.

porters.
After his conference with Mr.. Bryan on
Saturday Mr.. Wilson will confer with
Democratic leaders from all parts OF the
country. These conferences Will probably
be held in Trenton, where Governor VIII
son has an office removed from the State
House. as the facilities at Princeton are
such that few conferences can be held
without intruding on the privacy OF his
family.

elect lie will probably return to Prince

Of assisting government work in speaking

CARNATIONS. II might be better to ad-
dress the business meetings OF these So
cieties"

icy would be preserved at the White
House so far as II was physically posi-
bic. and that he intended to have the
doors OF the executive offices thrown
wide open, so that the President would
be accessible at all times, but only to
