WATERING HOGS.
Bre:sers Find Problem Matter of
inheritance In Elot Weather,

Importance IN Fiot Weather.
In warm weather tn" task of pre-
venting drinking water for hogs from
becoming contaminated i, difficult.
The percentage Of farms in some re-
gions where there is a constant sup
ply Of running waiter is so small as
to be almost Il negligible quantity, SO
that when we discus this subject we
assume tliat the average man must
resort for his supply to the use of the
ordinary well.
10 keep filth out Of the supply of
wafer is the one great problem. and
the full Significance Of the impOrtance
Of this we believe is not always ap-
preciatrd The hog rontamjnates his
own supply of water unles; special
precautions are taken to prevent il.
There are so many different tynes Of
automatic watererS Oh thr market and
these arc 50 comparatively inexpensive
we believe there is rarely any eX use
for using the old fashioned trough. into
which Il hog puts his feet every time
he drinks. These automatic waterers
are designed 50 that they can be at
tacheh to tanks o" barrels. and their
capacity is so small that it is absolute
ly impossible for hogs to cnntamnate
the water. and there is Il constant
change in the supply available
Sometimes it is not practicable to at
tach wa'erer to the lHryc drinking
tank used by the horses and cattle in
which case Il barrel can be used to
great advantage. and it is always Il
simple task to change its location when
this is necessary. The theory of the
automatic hog watcrcr is that, while
only few quarts are available at any
one time, yet when the supply i'm the
small fountain is lowered the move
mcnt of Il valve admits Il new supply.
In this way RS long as there is water
in the main vessel there will always
be Il supply available for the hogs. BY
keeping Il little lime in the tank or
barrel the water is in way disin-
fccted. so that even when it becomes
warm it is not easily made stale

FRESH VS.. ROTTED MANURE.
Minnesota Experiment Station Gives
Information on This Subject,


The belief in general prevails that
rottCu manure is more valuable Chan
fresh. Just why this Impression should
exist is not apparent. The Minnesota
experiment station says: "'rhc value Of
manure is determined by the amount
OF nitrogen. pllo>piloric acid and pot
ash contained therein, usually cS1imut-
cu i'll value at -. 6 and = cents IA
pound. respectively. On this basis Il
ton of fresh larnvard manure is worth
Sl.9S and Il tom of rotted S2.O4, or only
cents more. Since it takes nearly
two tons Of fresh manure to make one
of rn,tcd. owing to the loss from eva,-
oration and Teaching, much of the fer
tiIizinS matter originally contained is
lost in the rotting process.
"'rhc Maryland station tried both
kinds on corn and wheat crops in COM
parison with unmanurcd land. The
yield of corn on the latter was 3S.
bushels an acre; on land dressed with
rotted manure, GJ.1: on land treated
with fresh manure, 7O7. On wheat the
effect was similar. but not so marked
Moreover. in the use of fresh manure
there are the prevention of loss by
Teaching and the saving of labor. For
some crops fresh manure would not be
desirable. 1t should he applied on grass
land or just ahead Of the corn crop in
rotation"

On Woman's Right of Suf-
ferage.

Why should women have and
use the right and the privilege
of suffrage, or of voting? l ans
Wer, for the same reasons that
men have for the same right,
namely, that they may be able to
do all they can do by voting to
establish and maintain Good
Government of mankind every
where, and to protect themselves
against the outrages of thieves,
robbers, assasins, and criminals
everywhere, For criminals and
evildoers are very numerous and
have been from the first when
Cain killed Abel, his brother.
Ours is called government
"by the people, for the people,
and of the people" The women
are part of the people-one half
of them-and can talk for good
government, but cannot vote
much for it, while the men being
only one half of the people, can
vote, and thus establish, admis-
ter and execute the laws, wheth-
err good or bad. And men do
sometimes have bad laws, for
instance, | had two uncles, one
lived in New Hampshire, the 9th
err in Massachusetts, both had
families and they died when
about As years old. Each OF
them left a small estate and the
laws of those states provided that
widow should have the use of
one third of her deceased hus-
bands estate, during the remain
der of her lite. That they had
not its ownership. That was
bad law.
Some men wish to have the
number of voters diminished
rather than 1ncreased-cut down
to one half or to one fourth do
not; my reasons why, may give
hereafter.
