Another "Rutabasa Editorial"

The Connecticut Farmer, in an edi-
toriai on the increase in farm mort
cages has this to say.
In measure. mortgages denote
prosperity. That viii sound strange to
some, but 1t is true The way to make
money Is TO spend money invest IL in
the business in order that it may be
better eqdipped 70 Barn greater profits
When d CORPORA ton desires teincrease
its equipiHsesIip in order TO provide fora
larger outlet, It ether issues bonds or
increases IT'S capital stock. 2ls Nowda
farmer has no capital Stock to, increase
and ne is not in the bonding class;
hence. when he desires additional
capital he does the next best thing,
which is TO mortgage his farm We
have increased cur mortgages in order
that we may increase our equipment
Rather than sell off a part of our
farms that we may obtain money with
which to buy modern machinery, silos,
build better barns and homes and
otherwise improve our farms, we have
pledged our land as security for loans
II is no disgrace to so into debt, but
it is poor business to go into debt
without. having good prospects of get
ting out of debt with the things pur
chased with debt money. The great
orchards that dot our New England
landscape; the hum of new machin-
erv; the rearing Of more eapaeious
and serviceable barns; the clearing o.
new land and the draining Of old land
All denote that money is being real

Noon lntermission at School.

We have received from the State Su-
perintendent of Schools the following,
Of especial interest to the readers OF
the kennehec Journal:
Many hundreds of children of Maine
are accustomed to eat their monday
lie both recognize that the period of
the noon intermission constitutes a
possible source of physical or moral
injury to the pupils. The proper reg
ulation of pupils during the noon hour
is serious problem of school admin
istration. In recognition of this the
teachers of Washington county recent
~ passed the following series of res
olutions which have already excited
much favorable comment;
whereas, the noon hour in our
rural schols has been, and is, a
moral menace to such schools, be
it resolved:
- (a) That superintendent be
urged to request or require in en-
gaging teachers, that such teachers
are TO remain at the building dur
ing the noon hour, and that remun-
Z GRAFTON be given for this extra
work gaaa ~

!. exert such influeneeSover both par
ents and children that wholesome
lunches be provided; that the
teacher prepare hot cocoa or some
thing similar for the children and
teach them simple lessons in eour-
tesy, neatness and hygiene during
their participation in lunch.
(c) That the teachers closely
supervise the play ground and that
the children be urged to bring to
school dolls, toys and games. for
use during the noon hour, when the
weather forbids outdoor play"
We believe this is step in the right
direction, and that it was as danger
| Gus to physical and moral growth
and strength a half century ago as i
is today. But in the days far bacl
some of the deplorable things growing
out of the noon intermission were ac
cepted by the public as wholly una
voidable; that young folks must go t.

FINISHING HOGS FOR MARKET TO
GET MAXIMUM or PROFIT.
Hogs Much Higher Than Few Years
Ago But Expense Also Greater.

Hogs now are about twice as high in
price IS they were few years ago. yet
hog feeds are also about twice as high.
Corn is now selling for from 20 To so
cents a bushef. Hogs are bringing
to cents on foot. However. with the
higher price of corn, there is scarcely
any more profit in growing and finish
ing hogs for market than there was
few years ago when hogs and corn
were cheaper.
The farmer now who grows and fin
ishes hogs for market must feed eco
nomically to make money on the an.
imals. Forage crops. supplementary
concentrates and little corn are the
best combination of feeds for growing
hogs economically Corn has been the
universal feed for finishing swine. OF
late years. however, some other feeds
are being used in connection with corn
for the finishing period. Among these
are wheat. rye. barley shorts, tankage
and linseed oil meal.
1t is generally known among good
feeders and live stock farmers that a
variety is better than one single kind
of feed. There are several reasons for
this. one reason is that a single kind
of feed contains fewer elements than
the animal requires. Two or more diff
ferent kinds of feed make or approach,
a balanced ration for supplying all of
the elements necessary for animal life
and gain in weight. Another reason
why two or more different kinds of
feeds are better than one is that both
feeds are more perfectly digested One
seems to react upon and assist the
other in becoming dissolved in the di-
gestive tract, and. hence, become more
perfectly digested. There is less
waste. This is specially true of feed
ing dry grains with green matter or
with slops containing skim milk. The
vegetable juices and the acid in the
sour milk aid in dissolving the dry
matter taken, besides containing food
value in themselves. Fattening hogs
will invariably DO better if furnished
with limited amount of good Stops or
green matter in the form of pumpkins,
tuinips, mangels and like green mat

When hogs are to be finished for
market, their growth is practically at
an end or is supposed to be. Only

weight but il supplementary feeds.
containing protein and mineral mat
ter. in connection with corn, are fur
nished during the finishing period, the
hog may be made to grow some as
well as take on fat for good market
finish In many sections now where
corn is light crop and dear, other
| feeds are used for finishing hogs.
Ground barley, wheat and rye have
been found almost equal to corn, ana
almost as cheap. The fattening hog
seems to have the power of economi-
cally grinding the corn, but for all the
other small grains it is cheaper TO
grind the grain by mechanical means
| than to have the hog do the work For
this purpose, wheat is better rolled

The Paid for Rum Trust Articles.

one of those southern papers recently
| exposed as ready to sell its editorial
| space to the rum trust2 1t is hardly
| worth while to look it up, for if it was

As evidence thereof we received to-
day a circular from the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Assn bear
ing an article prepared by James Fl.
Moody, author of The New Reform, F"
Restricting the Liquor Traffic" etc.
The article purports to give condi =
lions in the South by telling How
Prohibition has Revived the Ancient
Art of Home Made Liquors in the
South and Honeycombed the Land of
Cotton with 'Moonshiners' Stills"
The article is introduced by the
following paragraph
To the Editor:
The following story is taken from
Town and Farm. We have obtained per-
mission To reproduce this article with or
without credit in any newspaper in the
country. You are at liberty TO use all
or any part of it. We would appreciate
w. PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT,

ISOLATION.
The, rum trust has obtained per-
mission to reproduce this article. with
or without credit, in any newspaper
in the country" because it undoubt
edly furnished the article to the paper
which would sell its space to such a
mass of sophistry Then it takes up
the article as if it were exclusively
prepared for the paper quoted, and
use with or without credit. Were
it used in the Northeast without
credit the rum trust would at once
send it into the Southwest credited to
the last paper in which it appeared.
Those are rum trust methods. The
same have been used in the pretense Of
showing up the evils of prohibition
and the beauties of regulation" in
Maine and Massachusetts.
The 100000 appropriated at the
last annual meeting was for the pur-
pose of buying rum trust editorials IN
the press of the country. This money
is placed very automatically. and is
handled very gingerly by papers of
any standing because of the rapid
awakening of the public to the man
ner in which selfish commercial inter-
ests are exploiting human weakness
es.
The hired writer of special articles
for the liquor interests is outside of
this. His articles can be handled
more brazenly because papers using
the stuff do not appear to be fully re-
sponsible.
