Pork Profits from Pasture

AS the natural home of red clover,
and as the chosen habitat of several
other grasses of unsurpassed feeding
value, Minnesota has been able to Of
fer, since the greater part of it's area
was brought inside the corn belt, I'M
usual advantages for the economical
production of pork. For the rich
pasturage afforded by these grasses
needed but to be supplemented by a
small proportion of cheap corn to af-
ford such a ration as enabled the hog
to make rapid progress toward the
fulfillment of his destiny as a porker.
And not only was this progress made
rapid and inexpensive, but the quality
of the pork was bettered; and it was
found that the pastured animal was
far less liable to disease than the hog
confined to the feed lot and fattened
mainly on corn and "swill."
On the acre basis, it would seem
that the keeping of swine will COM
pare very favorably, in returns, with
the growing Of grain crops. 1t Is not
uncommon for a skilled hog raiser to
secure 575 pounds Of pork per acre of
clover pasture, supplemented by a lit
tie grain. One recent feeding test
showed that the hogs paid SO cents a
bushel for the corn thus fed; the pork
realizing cents pound. When at
80 cents, on the farm, compares poor
ly with this. Still more poorly does it
compare, allowing even 20 bushels to
the acre, bringing SIS, with gross
return of $3450 from SIS pounds of
pork per acre, marketed at cents.
1t is difficult to conceive of any
other method of feeding hogs which
will afford results quite as satisfac-
tory as those from feeding on rich
pasture during four or five months of
the year, supplementing the grasses,
if need be, with rape and late-sown
rye, and finishing off on corn and
various soiling crops. The Minnesota
hog raiser who knows how to avail
himself of the facilities which nature
has here placed at his disposal is on
the high road to prosperity.-C. r.
Barnes in Northwest Formsted.

CURRENT
PREss COMMENT
The Only "Cncher.r


The difference between the result in
the Northern Securities case and the
reSults In the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases between which Colonel
Roosevelt says there is NJ compari-
son, is that the decision in the former
was rendered in the coloners admin
istration and the decisions in the two
others were not. That fact makes the
one great blow to the trusts, while
the two others, as the colonel puts It.,
confer benefits upon the trusts such
as all of them put together cannot
confer upon themselves"
This shows that what is really
needed to make the trust policy OF
the nation effective Is not amendment
of the Sherman act. though the
colonel favors its amendment, but
putting the colonel In office so that
act will be under his control. With
the same courts rendering the same
decisions the nation will be once
more, as the colonel says of the
Northern Securities case. breaking up
the big combinations
Had the Standard OIL decision and
the tobacco trust decision been hand
tion they. too, would have been great
victories over the big combinations,
and any one saying the thing about
them which the colonel says now
would be a hired tool tof the great
crooked interests seeking to UNDER
mine the enforcement of the laws.
Their is only one man who knows how
to ''cinch" the big, selfish interests,
and he is the man Who stopped his
attorney general from attaching the
harvester trust-New York Tribune.

Ten Milk Commandments

l. Milk spoils easily-keep it pure
2. Use clean milk-clean milk con-
tains no sediment. ~
g. Take the milk into the house
without delay after delivery.
4. Keep it cool.
5. Do not allow 1t to stand around
in the house.
g. Keep it covered.
Z. Keep it away from doors.
s. Keep milk bottles out Of the sick
room.
g. Pasteurize milk for infants.
10. Visit your dairy.
These are some Of the points
brought out in the new circular 1862
of the Illinois agricultural experiment
station. and wide dissemination OF
these facts would aid in promoting
the gospel of health The authors, B.
r. Richards and H. N. Parker, are at
the head of the division of municipal
and sanitary dairying at the Untvers-
ity of Illinois and are authorities in
this line.
Unless the best care is taken Of
milk from the time it is produced I'M
til it is used, millions of these little
workers with such great capacity for
evil and for good, the bacteria. are at
work in the milk. Experience has
shown that clean milk keeps longer
than dirty milk--the bacteria are not
so likely to be present in harmful
numbers-and cool milk keeps better
than warm milk-for bacteria do not
multiply so rapidly in it. The bulle-
tin gives directions for keeping milk
in the best condition and for pasteur-
izing milk in the home. A copy may

TAFT THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE

TAFT THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE
The president of the United States
must to a large extent be the creature
of the party on whose platform he
stands. Because we believe it safer
to trust the administration to the re-
publican party than to either the pro-
gressive or democratic party, The
Herald will support MIR. Taft in the
present campaign.
With the men who in sincerity are
following the standard of Mr.. Roose-
welt The Herald has no quarrel. They
are seeking what we all are seeking,
the betterment of the nations well
fare. But their idea of how it should
be accomplished differs from ours
Mr.. Roosevelt's ability and dynam-
ic force, the power for good he has
been in this country, no man can
deny. AS military man and as
state executive we admired him. AS
president we believed in him Had
he been nominated by the republican
convention we would have supported
him gladly and enthusiastically. But
as nominee of the progressive party
we cannot accept him. The progress
sion in ideals and accomplishments
for which he is avowedly striving and
which is his only excuse for candidacy
at this time can be better effected
within the republican party than out
side It,
Able man though MIR. Wilson is,
there Is nothing in his platform or
political support to promise better for
the country than the continued ad-
ninistration of Mr.. Taft. And there
Is everything in the history of demo-
cratic rule to promise the contrary.
Mr.. Taft is the logical candidate
and as such he will each day grow
stronger with the people. AS the
hysteria of the conventions passes the
sober common sense of the country
asserts itself If there were nothing
else to commend it, the soundness of
Mr.. Taft's candidacy would result in
its ultimate triumph.

The republicans of skagit {

The republicans of Skagit county
have taken an ounce of prevention in
relation to the coming primaries in a
regulation by the county central COM

challenge them if they present them
selves at the republican primaries

the two parties is to be made very
complete by this arrangement

The growers of the Yakima valley
will hail with satisfaction any joint
rate or combination of rates that viii
allow a free transportation of their
products to eastern markets. The
railroads that are serving the ship

with the desire of the growers ard
shippers to give the widest distribu-
ton possible for the fruit grown here,
and the announcement of the annex
alton of this or that state and the
putting in operation this or that joint
traffic agreement in handling the pro-
ducts of this section is a source OF
qualification and fully appreciated.

tribution was received. If it was

yesterday. I'VE expect to spend

two stations, which will require about
60 tons of steel each. On one of the
sites 20 steel masts will be erected,
and on the other 10 steel masts. The
masts will be put together in sections

If the farmer is to have no mar
ket for his product why will he need
to worry about money to finance his

did not have the price to pay the

PREPARING FOR A NATIONAL
LAND SHOW

The land show exposition has
proved one of the most popular forms
ot publicity for agriculture that the
,ountry has ever known and it is sur
Jrising after the success of some of
the recent expositions to learn that
the movement is to be nationwide
and that Chicago has been selected
ul the location of permanent build
ias for holding an annual National
Lsnd Show.
The proposed plan comprises the
o. Anization of an American Agricul-
alti4al association and of National
Agricultural institute. The, primary
purpose of he project is to promote
agriculture by ordinating efforts
o various agricultural movements. to
assist prospective homeseekers in
Fading homes and employment in the
country and to protect them from UNI
SCI pulous spectators
twenty-five governors have en-
dorsed the movement and have, signi-
mi the Willingness of their states to
pa, ticipate. Besides this the project
has the support Gf many of the .coun-
try's leading educators, and the finan-
cial backing of leading business men
Chicago and some outside business
men will finance the project, with a
,.,.,,;to 2e EO0 nm
Nothing on this scale has ever been
attempted in this country before. The
proposition is the outgrowth of the
back-to-the farm movement which
has been gaining wonderful impetus
ever since it was inaugurated. aIndi+
cations are that nearly every state IN
the union will have space in the pro-
posed building to be known as the
National State Exposition Building
and Agricultural Institute, and which
will be the largest structure of Its
kind in the world. 1 sNfs{o5.
The American Agricultural associa-
ton proposes to be composed of gov
ernors, presidents of agricultural col
leges, prominent agriculturists, men
of national prominence and repre-
sentatives of other organizations hav-
ing kindred aims. The plan includes
an annual convention for the purpose
of hearing and passing upon resolu-
lions setting forth the activities of
various organizations such as good
roads, reclamation, conservation, etc.,
investigation of all such projects by
committees and the formation of a
platform from those deemed worthy
of support. a 8,e4Ha
The proposed National Agricultural
Institute, one of the other essential
features of the project, will offer
short courses in agriculture, both to
present classes and by oorrespon-
dence. One representative from each
state agricultural college and some
from the national government, it is
planned, will constitute the faculty. 1t
is a nationwide movement amply
backed by capital and supported by
enthusiastic workers. 1t promises to
prove the long sought National Unit
versity and devoted to the nation $
greatest need, the development of ag-
riculture.
