BIG GUNS HERE
WEDNESDAY
NUMBER OF EMINENT PEOPLE
IN CITY YESTERDAY.
COWS. MARSHALL AND WEST MEET
Oregon Executive Comes to Ashland
to Greet Executive of Indiana
President SprOule of Southern Pa
cific Here Also.

There was a gathering of notables
in the city Wednesday afternoon.
Governor Marshall of Indiana, Wood
row Wilson's running mate, was of
course the center of attraction, He
arrived here on the o'clock train
and was greeted with a good-sized
crowd. Mounting a baggage truck,
he delivered a short address, urging
the people to support the democratic
party and policies He said that he
and Wilson would be elected regard
less of how Oregon voted, but they
would rather be defeated than elect
ed without democratic congress to
back them. His principal object in
coming to Oregon was to urge the
election of Harry Lane as United
States senator. He did not know
anything about Lane, he said, but
wanted him elected because he was
a democrat He referred to the claim
that there would be a panic if the
democrats were elected, but thought
people should risk something for
their country. His plea along the
entire line was for the election OF
the democratic candidates and for
the democratic policies.
Almost if not quite as much a CEN
ter of attraction was Governor West
of Oregon, who came to Ashland to
meet Governor Marshall and escort
him across the state. He was heart
lily greeted by his many friends and
admirers here and gracefully intro
duced Governor Marshall to the peo-
pie.
A man neatly but plainly dressed
in gray, with soft cap, moved about
unnoticed in the crowd, but probably
has more power today, in many ways,
than either of the governors present.
That man was President Sproule of
! the Southern Pacific railway. He
was on his way from San Francisco
to Portland and was not aware until
he reached Ashland that Governor
Marshall was on the train. When
approached by a Tidings reporter
Mr. Sproule proved himself most
courteous and genial gentleman.
with the successful railroad mans
ability to say nothing. When asked
as to the political situation he de-
posted than himself, but added that
the persons most at sea were the
professional politicians. He did not
believe it was at this time possible
to make any reliable forecast of the
situation.
Two eminent churchmen were also
aboard the northbound train, Bishop
Funston of Idaho and Bishop Wells
of Spokane, two Episcopal bishops
who are widely known throughout
the west.
Editor Warren of the noted Cor
notorious, as you may choose to
deem it) Appeal to Reason, was
aboard the southbound train, en-
route from Portland to San Diego.
where he is said to be scheduled to
take part in the l. w. W. fight for
the right to the use of the streets for
speaking places. Mr.. Warren got off
the train, but few knew who ne was
until after he returned to his car.
In speaking of the big guns it
would not do to omit Mayor Canon
of Medford and City Editor Hicks OF
the Mail Tribune, who came up to-
meet Governor Marshall, nor Dr..
Rate and Attorney Mears of Med
ford of the Progressive Flying,
Squadron, who came up to address.
the progressive rally.

Dramatic Critic Not Needed.

No dramatic critics are needed in
the mining town of Kellogg, Idaho
where the mothers have banded
themselves together for censorship
purposes. The club has appointed a
committee of two-Mrs. Fred w.
Galloway and Mrs. j. l.. Patterson
to inspect all places of amusement,
including moving picture shows,
dances and various forms of enter
tainment. Although the club acts in
no official capacity, its members are
determined to raise the tone of en-
tertainments in Kellogg by their dis
approval of things unfit.

The housekeeper should always
read the labels on package goods.
Often the most important thing
which she should know is printed
in the smallest letters and iii the
most obscure place. She should
not be required to seek for this
important information, but often
this is the case. She should ,es-
pecially notice if the food COM
tains any drug or chemical sub
stance.
She should look out for boric,
salycylic, benzoic and sulphurous
acid, alum, saccharin and copper
suiphate. All foods which are fit
to eat can be manufactured and
kept without the aid of drugs. An
intelligent and concerted action
on the part of housekeepers
would have tremendous. effect
in clearing up food production of
this country.
Above all the housekeeper
should see to it that the foods she
buys are clean; that they are kept
in Clearly manner and are pro-
tected from flies and dust. If
perishable, they should be kept in
cooled cases. 1t is possible to
keep every food sweet and clean.
It is possible to expose food for
sale in a sanitary manner The

SWINE BREEDING
INDUSTRY
Interesting Article Sent
Out from Experiment
Station of State Uni"
versity
OF Special Interest to Farm
erS of this Section

The swine industry in Kentucky
deserves much more attention than
it now receives Not only should
the number of animals produced an
nually be increased but also the
breeding and feeding should receive
more careful attention.
To begin with. we cannot afford
to raise any but the best hogs. BY
this we do not mean any particular
breed, but we do mean that the
animals should belong to some
breed. A good grade is better than
a poor animal of pure breeding, but
the average pure bred is infinitely
better than the average grade, 20
say nothing of the scrub. In two
all important particulars is the pure
bred animals superior; first, more
economical gains are secured FOR the
feed consumed, and second. when
the animal is ready for market it
will command the top price, where
as the scrub will probably sell 80
cents lower. lust here it is well to
remember that this so cents reduc-
ton must be taken from our mar
gin of profit, which is N arrow
enough already.
Inheritance largely fixes the posi-
bilities OF an animal, furnishing the
detailed plans and specifications be-
torehand, while the feeding later
builds the structure and maintains
it. Some feeders advocate cross
breeding of hogs, holding that the
cross bred animals make better feed
ers. Even if we grant this to be
true, the same feeder will admit that
the second cross is very poor. Then
in order to keep stocked with ami
mails of the first cross we must be
continually dependent upon h e
pure breeders for fresh stock OF the
two breeds concerned, always pay
ing fancy prices.
One of the best features of any
kind of stock farming is that it
stimulates other farm activities.
The feed should nearly all be pro-
duced on the farm. One important
principle in feeding will be mentioned
here. The young, growing animal
requires a ration much different
from that of the mature animal.
The most important period of a
pigs life is the time between wean
ing and his attaining 140 pounds
weight. The growing animal re-
quires much protein and ash to pro.
duce muscle and respectively, the
purpose being to grow a frame upon
which subsequently to lay a pad Of
fat. To meet the requirements Of
growth, suitable food must be pro-
vided. The cheapest gains can no
doubt be made by providing alfalfa
or clover pasture and giving a sup
Elementary corn ration. In this case
the alfalfa provides the greater part
of the protein and ash. The profit
able feeding of pigs in winter is
somewhat more difficult than in
summer. In the winter season in
this latitude, the lack ofalialfa pas
ture can be largely atoned for by
young rye. This should be sown
heavily, about four bushels per acre
drilling both ways
Skim milk is one OF the best kno wn
supplements for corn in feeding
young swine. and we will do our
selves no harm by making an effort
To produce more skim milk. for the
dairy industry is highly profitable.
Soy beans aud corn, in the propoH
ton Of about one to six. make an
excellent ration for young pigs,
