FIVE O'CLOCK ANARCHY

"HdVERY revelation passes through
" three stages; first, it is heresy,
next commonplace, and last super
stition.''
The man who wrote this ignored one
of the intermediate stages. Every new
idea must in turn become, or be in dan
ger of becoming. fad.
Denver Socie.y-the Sacred Thirty
Six. be it known-has found new fad.
Time was when anarchy was word to
be said with bated breath. 1t conjured
up dim notions Of bombs and Russian
rulers, of Siberian exile and secret con-
spiracies. Now, behold, it has become
matter for evening lectures for the elite,
for afternoon study classes and pink
teas.
Emma Goldman came to Denver as
the apostle Of revolt. She came to talk
to those who think; she remained to talk
to those who think they think, What
Miss Goldman herself thinks is no part Of
the story. IF that keen eye sees and that
logical brain estimates the adulztion Alright,
still there is no occasion to put the esti-
mate into words. Miss Goldman is one
of the sewers, and quite probably knows
that much seed must fall on very shallow
soil.
But few years ago her name was an
athena. We were hidden to shudder at
its sound. We were to picture her, bomb
in hand, frantically exhorting hordes of
the great unwashed to deeds of hideous
violence. Riot and rebellion followed in
her footsteps. She went about to cry
havoc, and the dogs St war bayed at her
heels.
"Other times, other manners" Emma
Goldman is no more, no less, revolution
ary than she was. But Society casts
about for new sensation, and she chances
to be the selection. "Tag, you're it. !"
Miss Goldman came 10 Denver to talk
on social movements from the revolution
ary standpoint. Naturally enough. the
scene of her efforts was to be an unpre-
tentious hall in not the best lighted part
of the city. Blu, the search for a sensa-
ton led the Thirty Six to become her au-
ditors, and she was brought forth to the
lights of a hotel ball room under the pro-
tecting care of the Womanss Club. Pres
to! Anafchism is become the latest fad,
the newest pose.
We wonder whether society thinks i,
has taken to bombthrowing. Does it ex-
pect to learn the chemical composition Of
explosives and the laws governing projec-
tiles? What came they forth to see,
anyway
What they did see was an earnest, in
telligent little woman whose anarchistic
ideas prove extremely peaceable after all.
and whose views are less ahead of the
times than they used to be because the
times are catching up with her. That il
the fate of reformers, it seems-so have
the times catch up with them. To be Z
real radical in these days one must be al
ways on the run TO keep ahead.

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without II.

A physician says: Until last fall l
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall l began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very sooD
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then have not had any indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where l want a food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
II always find the results look for
when l prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name" "
Name given by mail by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion of GrapA Nuts is not hard to
find
In the first place, the starchy part
Of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes Of cooking, to per
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar. in which state 1t is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barleJ
which Nature can make use of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied With
the powerful strength producers, sc
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for week OF
ten days.
There's a reason" and It is e1

STARVED CALVES
ARE EXPENSIVE
Many Young Animals Kept 4
Filthy Pens With Ration
Entirely United
for Growth.

Are beef breeds of cattle more pr>I
potent than dairy breeds? This ques-
ton has come to me after examining
many animals. On the range, at least
80 per cent. of the beef type from
good sires are good feeding stockers.
In swine and sheep the percentage
of good animals is equally large. Here
the exception is usually found in ami
mails whose growth has been retarded
by some unfortunate condition, gen.
orally lack of food.
On the range the "dogie" or moth
erless calf is ill-shaped and never
makes a profitable feeder. The pee
wee" lamb may be simply late lamb,
but in most cases is one whose body
was shrunken and "set" by lack Of
food. Many a pee wee derives its
bird name from short feed and long
drives around forest reserve.
My observation has been, says a
writer in the Farm and Home, that
where robber COW is found, 1t is safe
to assume there has been a robbed
calf. Many are the vicissitudes Of the
average skim-milk calf. Every case
of scours is simply indigestion, or in
other words, training of the stomach
and digestive organs to fail to assimi-
late food. That pail of cold or soured
germ-laden milk that was refused for
a time until hunger made it desirable
is training the stomach still further
along the same line that made pee
wees and dogies.
Many little calves are prisoners, in
dark pens, with filthy bedding, and
with a ration untitled to their growth
and ability to properly digest food.
The calf, improperly raised, comes
back to it's owner as the robber COW,
and we blame the COW rather than
ourselves, which is much more human
than humane, and more Of a solace
than of financial gain.

CEMENT TANKS
TO DIP SWINE
Directions Given for Construction
Of Basin Found Entirely
Satisfactory by
I1IinoiSau.
BY w. H. UNDERWOOD

Last spring 1 made cement dip
ping tank for my hogs which has
proven very satisfactory, and will give
the instructions for making same so
that if anyone desires to do so he can
make one for himself.
| dug a hole II feet long on top, 5
feet long on the bottom, straight at
one end and sloping across the 6 feet
at the other, 26 inches wide at the
bottom, 80 inches at the top and Az
feet deep.
l then made a wooden frame of
boards inches smaller every way
than the hcie and filled in the space
all around with cement, using three
parts sand to one part cement.
After It had set "a hours, took out
the wooden frame. l made wooden
cleat steps at the sloping end for the
hogs to walk out on. My hogs we're
covered with lice last spring and 1
had tried all remedies heard of to get
rid of them. 1 dipped the hogs at in
tervals of about month and noted
marked change in their condition as
to skin and health.
A neighbor of mine has dipping
tank somewhat similar to mine. He
dug hole 2 feet wide at the top and
feet long; and at the bottom IS
inches wide and feet long, making
the hole 8 feet deep, straight up and
down at one end with a gradual in
cline for the hogs to walk out at the
other
Then he took cement, mixing it in
proportion of one part Of cement to
four parts sand, and plastered this
over like a cistern, plastering the ce-
ment directly on the dirt. After this
coating of cement had thoroughly set
he washed the inside with pure ce-
ment, to make it absolutely tight.
Whether it is safe to plaster the
cement directly on the dirt, as done
by my neighbor, depends on the char
acter of the soil. Ordinarily l think
my plan the better; that is, to build
the frame six inches smaller than the
hole and fill in the space all around
with cement
1t will pay every farmer who raises
hogs to have dipping tank of some
sort and dip his hogs at least once a
month, without regard as to whether
they are troubled with lice or not. 1t
will keep their skin in fine condition
and contribute materially to their
health.
Pigs can be dipped at any age,
lambs as well. The larger tank de-
scribed above will answer for both
sheep and lambs.

should be fed in addition. p palatable
mixture for this purpose is four parts
shorts, two parts corn and one part
tankage. If corn is not available,
ground wheat, sifted ground oats or
field peas may replace the corn. Both
sows and pigs should have the run Of
alfalfa, clover, rape, oats and peas, or
other pasture. The object to be Sc
cured with the pigs, is to train them to
depend on prepared feeds to a large
extent before weaving time.
Weaving time is from six to twelve
weeks. If the sows are to be rebred
at once, the pigs should be weaned at
eight or nine weeks of age. If one
litter per year only is planned. the pigs
may be allowed to run with the sow
until twelve or fourteen weeks Of age.
After weaving, plenty of skim-milk,
fresh pasture, and a grain rotation in
addition, are necessary for best results.
In no case will it be found advisable
to expect pigs to make profitable
growth on pasture alone. At the age
of weaving, the pig should be making
very rapid and his most profitable
growth. 1t takes fifty per cent. more
feed to put pound of gain on a 49,
pound pig than to put pound on one
weighing forty pounds, and SO per
cent more feed for a 350-pound pig.
Keep the pigs gaining while young on
pasture and dairy by products, If
available, always supplemented with a
grain ration.

old farmer and his plowman were
carting sand from the seashore. They
were behind the target on the rifle
range, but hidden by bank Of sand
from a party of volunteers, who were
then on foot, at practice. A stray bull
let struck the plowman on the leg,
and he Immediately dropped, exclaim-
Ing: "I'm shot!"
Without more ado the farmer
scrambled up the bank and, waving
his hand to the volunteers, shouted:
Hey, lads, stop that, will We?
You've shot a man, and 1t MIGHT haze
been the horse! "-London Tit-Bits.

THE WORK THAT LASTS.

The work of the quiet, conscientious
man does not cease when death stills
his heart. He has planned too care
fully and wrought too conscientiously
for his unselfish labors to pass into
oblivion The world has need OF his
services and often benefits by them
long after his race Is run. He may
not have made much impression In his
lifetime, but for all that he built to
the best of his ability and to future
generations his work is OF enduring
value The quiet worker is never ex-
plotted by his fellow-men. Indeed,
there are some persons who hold In
contempt the man who does not make
q stir in the world, says the Charles
ton News and Courier. 1t is not al
ways the quality of the work that
counts, but rather its spectacular ef-
fects That these effects soon wear
away and leave exposed the rough
surfaces cannot be questioned. and
then 1t Is that men turn WIN conn-
dence to the results Of the unobtru-
sive, dependable worker, who strives
with his heart, as well as with his
head. In a recent article on the sub
feet the writer says of the quiet work
er that he builds for eternity, and
that eternity alone can discover the
fine finish OF his workmanship We
can take a piece of furniture and
paint on 1t as brilliant gloss as we
wish for, but It will not be long be-
fore the cheap brillianey furnishes and
shows in all its ugliness the painted
wood beneath. On the other hand,
the fine finish which the master work
man gives to the article he Is re-
storing is attained only after the most
honest and painstaking efforts, which
he directs not to the attainment of
immediate final results, but to results
which lead gradually to the beautiful
finish which crowns his work.

The profits of a successful hog man
rest largely upon his success in raising
pigs. No matter how we'll the sows
may have been managed and how
much care and attention may have
been bestowed upon them, little
carelessness and lack of skill at far
rowing time and during the early
weeks of the pigs growth may result
in the loss of large percentage of the
filters and the stunning of many more.
Warmth and protection during the
first few days and sufficient amount
of nutritious feeds and fresh air and
plenty of sunshine later on make for
growthy pigs that bring profits to the
breeder.
