TAN Y FOR THE HOGS.
Recommended as Solution of the Prob
lem Of Profitable Hoo Raisi,,u.


When the SOW eats pigs or chickens
or when she is constantly roofing up
the ground give her tankage. When
the SOW approaches narrowing time or
when she is sucking her litter give
her tankage. When your hogs are in
the fattening pen feed tankage. When
the pigs are growing give them tank
age. When you want to save on high
priced corn feed tankage.
Tankagc will do more to solve the
question of profitable hog raising than
any other one feed. 1t has high nj
trogen content and supplies in concen-
trated form food element which can
only be secured by the animal when
eating large quantities Of the ordinary
farm feeds.
When the SOW is cross Or when She
restlessly roots UP the ground or when
she eats pigs or chickens there is some
thing wrong with her feed There is
something lacking which her system
demands This is supplied by tankage.l
When the sow is caring for her
young. either before or after farrow-
ing. she needs a protein feed. and this
is supplied in tankage. When pigs are
growing they need a bone and muscle
building feed, and they get it in. tank
age. When hogs are fattening they
need relish to aid them in eating and
assimilating more feed, and tankage
supplies it.
The use of small quantities of tank
age will save corn, particularly il fed
with alfalfa hay. Hog feeding with u
scoop shovel is a wasteful and extrav-
agant method, and hog feeding ON corn
alone is about the least profitable.
Corn is the most valuable grain for use,
in hog feeding, but 1t is a fattening
feed and should never be fed alone
except in the finishing pen. tits too
expensive in both the cost Of the corn
and in the poor results produced to
be used as an exclusive feed for grow
ing hogs or for brood sows. Tankage
saves corn and makes better hogs and
more money.
Tankage fresh from the factory new
er contains germs and cannot be the
means of transmitting cholera, even IL

Scab on Irish potatoes can be largely
prevented by treating seed tubers be-
fore they are planted with Tornado
hyde. A convenient way to treat the
tubers is to use one pint of formalde-
hyde to about thirty gallons OF water.
Pour the solution in barrel. The
stubers to be used for, seed may then
be put in a sack and suspended in the
barrel for about two hours. When re-
moved the potatoes should be spread

when consumption was only 11,347,-

Constant reduction in the cost of
aluminium is making it possible for
this metal to displace iron, thus pre-
serving the already too rapidly-dis-
appearing supplies of the latter metal.
Fortunately, aluminium oxides are the
! commonest of all earths, and the sup
ply of the metal is practically unlimit-
ed when a cheap process of eXtrac-
ton is discovered. Commercial pro-
duction of aluminium was first under
taken in this country in 1855. 1t sold
then for $50 a pound Within gen
Grafton it cost dollar an ounce. 1t
hos now been brought down to twenty
five cents pound.
Reduction in the price of aluminium
has been obtained through location of
the chief aluminium plant in the Unit
ed States at Niagara Falls The alum
mum industry is one of several re-
quiring large power that have lately
taken advantage of cheap electrical
energy produced from the cataract to
lower the cost of manufacture, and
thus the cost of living for the entire
country.
In the effort to meet the demands of
industry, nearly 100000 horsepower is
now generated at Niagara Falls, but so
immense is the rivers flow that the
amount of water diverted seems to
have had no appreciate effect on the

From cooking utensils to motor cars
the use of aluminium is increasing

supreme. This appears from the last
annual statistical abstract of the

PREVENTING TYP HOLD.

1t is rather startling to be told that
in 1909 there were more cases of ty-
phoid in the United States. with a
population not half as large as that OF
India, than there We're cases OF plague
in India: and that there were four
times as many cases of typhoid in the
United States as cases of cholera in
Russia during a period including the
taken from an article by Mclaughlin,
OF the marine nos III isii service. vino
says that we consider with apprehen
sion the countries in which cholera
and plague occur frequently and call
them pest ridden countries, but do not
consider the problem of typhoid fever
in our own country with sufficient Sc
robustness. He gives tables to show
that within the registra ton area in the
United States, in fifty cities having an
aggregate population of over 20 900 900
the average typhoid death rate for 1910
was % per hundred thousand inhabit-
ants
In one city in that year it amounted
to S61 per hundred thousand. and in
several cities it amounted to As or
more, In ten Of the largest cities of
northern Europe. comprising popula-
ton of 15.000,oOO, the average typhoid
7,
population during a period Of ten
years. from 1901 to 1910. was only 3.4
and in 1910 the rate had gone down 20
IS. 1t is considered in Europe that
death rate of 10 to Is per hundred
thousand constitutes a rather serious
reflection on the sanitary management
or the water supplies of such cities.
And yet the figures are far below the
average of the fifty cities in the United
States above referred to. in which the
death rate was IS per hundred thou
sand OF population Leaving out of
account such causes Of typhoid as in
1ected food and milk, contcat, car
rlers. etc. Mclaughlin believes thar
this death rate can be very materially
reduced by filtering the water sunnlias
OF our cities, which are too largely con-
taminated by sewage
Not only is this high death rate fro,

ILLINOIS AND TAFTs CANDIDACY.

Illinois yesterday decisively de-
feated President Taft and approved
Roosevelt in the preference primary.
The presidents strongest newspaper
support estimates his defeat by three to
one. The heavy majority given the
ex- president is not only an indorse-
nens OF Roosevelt and his administra-
lions and his platform but Reputation
Of the opposing candidate. Illinois has
coroborated the repeated assertion that
the voters do not want Taft but do
want Roosevelt or someone who repre-
sents the spirit OF the Roosevelt pol
inias Il Is also CT chico. lesson IF the
difference in results between the poll
ticians' caucus and the peoples pri-
maries.
The result in: Illinois is far reaching
and likely to be disastrous to the Taft
candidacy. 1t may be the disodged
brick which falling shall knock down
the carefully arranged but unstable
line of delegations so carefully ar
A>'->SNA - tiS p-SSiuSLl anu lis sup
porters. What effect it shall have on
the Pennsylvania and New York dele
cations is to be seen, but politicians
like Barnes and Penrose do not follow
failing fortunes far 1t will be in the
line of the expected if New York
springs a candidate of her own as a
way out OF EN- barassmen and in the
hope of success. The presidential pref
erence primary in Illinois will be ac-
cepted by politicians as an indication
OF presidential weakness which would
be fatal in November. The ubiquitous
southern delegate follows the flag of
no candidate except as it predicts VIC
tory and the power to distribute pat
ronage as quid pro quo We shall
see what we shall see but II the weak
ness displayed in Illinois does not re-
feet itself upon the Taft support the
practical politician" has changed to
an impulsive creature.
The next presidential candidate of
the republican party Will be nominated
by a preferential primary The pres
ent pre- convention campaign has made
that certain.
