keeping the digestive system in good
order. Others have the opposite eff
feet.
Among the various feedstnffs which
are not conducive TO the best health
of the animals may be mentioned corn
Still, corn is used in many instances as
the sole grain ration for swine. va
riety of feeds is claimed to be very
beneficial in this respect. Olmeal
roots, forage crops, shorts, skimmlk
and such other feeds are all supposed
to have favorable influence upon the
digestive system, thus are beneficial In
keeping the animals in good health
Another important point from
health standpoint Is exercise. Where
swine are confined in small. damp,
filthy yards it is next to impossible to
prevent disease. The surroundings are
just right. and II disease should come
in the neighborhood it makes an ex-
cellent place for it to start.
Another important point which will
be found to be very helpful in case
disease should break out in the herd
is that of having the hogs scattered
over the farm. BY so doing disease
may break out in one place and the re
mainder of the hogs on the farm not
be affected at all. On the other hand.
if they are punched up in small yards
and disease should break out, in many
instances the entire flock will be af-
fected before 1t Is noticed. In such an
instance the only thing to do is to sep.
arate the hogs as soon as disease is
observed, disinfect all thoroughly and
transfer them to other yards.
Worms cause much trouble in swine.
They may be prevented by judicious
feeding and the use OF some of the
well known preventives on the market.

FEEDING Dairy Cows,

Two or three things ought to be
taken into consideration in feeding
stock-first. the time of the year and
the condition of the weather When
it is cold cows need and will eat more
than when it is warm and falling
weather. Again. the size of the cow
should be taken into consideration. A
big, hearty cow needs more than a
small rather fine grained COW Still
again, If COW is giving milk she
should have more and richer food than
one that is dry. Unless farmer
knows he has man of good judgment
to do it for him he should do his own
feeding every day; not once in awhile
but right along. And as he does it be
should keep his eyes open to see how
well the stock clears mp the manger
There ought not to be much If any
thing left if the hay or other fodder is
of good quality. When cows begin to
leave some in the manger they are get
ting more than they can attend TO.

WINTER CARE OF SHEEP.
Suggestions For Feeding and Care of
Breeding Ewes.


Breeding Ewes.
Breeding ewes may be kept in first
class condition through the winter by
the use of roughages and concentrates
such as may be grown on the average
farm. says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The mistake is often made of thinking
that the ewes can be wintered on
some roughage. as hay or straw, and
still keep in proper condition They
should not be fat, but should carry
more flesh than is usually supposed
Clover hay is an excellent roughage,
as is also alfalfa. Corn fodder, oat
straw, barley straw or roots. such as
mangelS, may be used. Corn silage
has proved satisfactory and econom-
ical when fed with hay or fodder. 1t
furnishes a succulent feed that acts
as stimuant to the appetite and as
regulator of the bowels. Ewes that
are fed a daily allowance of siage
will more certainly keep in a thrifty
condition. Roughage alone will not be
sufficient. as some concentrate or con.
centrates should be fed. With a lib
eral supply of roughages not more
than half a pound of concentrates,
such as oats, should be required Less
than this amount will often be suffi-
Gent. Bran or cowpeas may be fed

Silo Eliminates Waste,

viding a supply OF palatable and succu-
lent feed for the stock for the entire
year is not only sign of progress. but
is an indication that the farmer so do
ing is producing milk or beef more cas-
lily and economically than his neigh
bors who have no silo. Ii is also q
sign that the most Is being made of the
corn crop. Waste II largely eliminated.

proud to think that so good

The only economical way
to thresh is the stationary

The Berkshire was introduced into
America in 1923. and since that year
he has been greatly improved until
we now have an animal of fixed
type and unusual prepotency, says
the Country Gentleman. Some I'M
certainty seems to exist in the minds
OF few as to whether the Berk-
shire should be classed among the
large or the small breeds. He
should be classed as above medium
in size. However, this matter of
size Is often misleading to the be-
ginner. The most profitable hog for
the farmer is one that will make
the most economical gains at an
early age-in other words. a quick
growing hog. This quality the
Berkshire possesses in a high de-
gree. The Berkshire here shown 10

Epigrams from Bryan's
Speech

Iiic OTIldnO speech OF w m. j I.
Bryan, who is now touring the
western states, are reproduced
for the benefit of our numerous
democratic readers who value
Mr.. Bryan as one of the great
est statesmen of this country,
though, like many other states
men before him, an unsuccessful
aspirant for presidential honors:
L am an optimist. To me the
future seems bright. To me it
seems the world is growing bet
ter. | would not go back to the
Golden age if l could, for to me
this is the greatest of all ages,
and right and justice are being
forced into the seat of Judgment.
These things that are being
pushed forward are present if
not visible.
Every year finds larger per-
centage of the people that can
read and write and who are more
capable of thinking for them
selves and judging events, and
this is apparent in every land.
The day of the brotherhood of
man is not coming. 1t is here
now.
I There are two parties one
that is opposed to the people and
one that is for the people.
I Roosevelt admitted that he con-
sented to the steel combine to
save the industrial United States.
That is an admission that one
corporation can break 10000, 900
people.
/ l wonder why we were so
prompt to recognize the republic
of Panama and yet are so slow
to recognize the republic of
China?
The direct election of United
States senators means that the
people will take the control of
the senate out of the hands of
predatory wealth.
If a law prohibiting contribu-
tons by corporations to cam
paigns had been in effect in 1896,
there would have been a much
less fund for the republicans or
more men in the penitentiaries.
| believe the time has come to
turn the spotlight on the White
House and compel the president,
when he makes an appointment,
to name those who recommend
that appointment.
am for any man for the dem
ocratic nominee for president
who is in favor of the progress
sive ideas and for those ideas for
which we have fought.
| am in favor of the publicity
! by law of the names of owners
of newspapers. Do you know
that some of the most influential
newspapers are owned by pred
atory wealth?
| believe in a law that will
compel publicity of the contribu-
tions to presidential candidates.
We have had publicity on the
steel trust, now let US have pub
licity on the money trust.
When will we have the ex-
ample again of a president
brought in on the Recommended
ton of one man and going out
through the opposition of the
same man?
There is nothing good that
Roosevelt promises that a demo-
crat cannot give; nothing bad he
promises that Taft will not give
us if given a chance.
l am opposed to a third term,
alternately or consecutively.
l am opposed to any man head
ing the democratic ticket who
speaks of retreat and who would
fight from the rear.
Nearly everybody is for the
initiative and referendum, and
about the only man who has not
accepted it is Governor Harmon.
