Attacks Taft Tariff Vetoes.

Speaking Of the tariff he said the
reductions made in the recent tariff
bill passed by Congress and vetoes by
President Taft were similar in per-
centage to the reduction asked for by
President Mckinley. He said:
You know that the reductions in the
tariff-this is a very interesting point to
my mind-proposed by the Democratic
Congress that has just adjourned, ala
not average much above 20 per cent.
When Mckinley was President the Ding
lev tariff bill was passed, and everybody
Mckinley included, admitted that the
Suties under that tariff were too high
But that tariff embodied provision py
which the Executive was authorized 'to
negotiate reciprocal treaties with other
countries, which should bring the duties
down 20 per cent. He did negotiate such
tree. ties, and the Senate, as usual. would
not let them go through.
And therefore the very process OF the
Uingley tsrin makers by which they
proposed 10 reduce their own tariff %
Der cent was not used by the Execu-
tive, because the Senate prevented its
uss. And now men who profess to be
followers OF Mckinley are blaming us
because we are attempting to do what the
DIngley tariff till itself attempted 10

PREVENTING DISEASE
is MOST DESIRED
Many Farmers Realize That
When Hogs Are Taken Sick
the Case Demands Quick
Action.

1t is OF tho greatest Importance in
the care of the swine that the owner
should always have In view the pre-
vention of disease rather than the
cure. Hogs are subject to but few
diseases, and these are malignant,
epidemic or contagious OF the most
serious type. 1t is very difficult TO
give medicine to sick hog, and this,
combined with the rapid course of the
disease which affects them, makes the
treatment OF disease very unsatisfac-
tory in severe cases of hog cholera,
pneumonia, etc.
The average stockman calls every
disease hog cholera which affects his
hogs. A wellknown professor of Cor
nell gives fifteen different diseases
that are generally called hog cholera
Many of these diseases are very serl-
Gus, and run their course so rapidly
that sometimes few days neglect
causes the loss OF nearly an entire
herd of hogs. This explains why one
farmer will take a remedy and cure
his hogs. when perhaps his nearby
neighbor will take II and not obtain
such good results. In nine cases out
of ten 1t will depend on whether the
farmer Is careful and systematic In
following the directions not alone In
giving the treatment. but also in

Csy ELMER HENDERSON,

A flock OF ewes just weaving lambs
and In thin flesh at the time of con-
ception are apt to be very poor sub
iects for maternity In the spring. No
matter how we'll the eve may be fed
Just previous to the time Of Landing,
Bhe will not be in her best condition
to nourish her offspring unless she ia
In fair condition at the time OF mat
Ing.
The reason is at once apparent. II
a eve is thin when she Is bred the
burden of growing the young is too
much of a strain upon her to allow Of
her gaining much flesh. This brings
us to what is known as flushing"
among old shepherds.
Flushing may be defined as putting
the eve upon highly succulent and
nutritious feeds just previous to mat
ing.
have said before that It was neces-
sary to have the eve in good flesh at
the mating season. This is just the
object of flushing.
1t has been found by all practical
shepherds that pint of grain In
September is worth a quart at lamb
ing time. The reason is that the eve
fed grain in the fall has very little
burden to bear In the shape OF the
growing young, while in the case Of
the eve heavy with lamb all the food
eaten goes mostly to nourish the
foetus. 1t will be inferred that II
grain will make the difference In the

my husband used to have bad

using disinfeetants and the general
care.
Many farmers realize that when
hogs are taken sick the case demands
immediate attention II they expect to
save any OF their hogs. Some farm,
ers are very careless and wait till
the disease is we'll started, and even
then do not pretend to follow direc.
tons. II is surprising that these
careless farmers save any OF their
hogs after disease starts.
All these facts simply go to prove
that the sensible way is to handle
your hogs in such a way as to pre-
vent disease. Build up and improve
the constitutional strength. This ia
what will save you great loss from
hog cholera. When your hogs ara
sick with the worst kind of hog chol.
era we do not believe anything will
help them, and the safer way in such
cases is to take an ak and kill them
at once, and then burn the remains.
This is for the malignant form of hog
cholera. In majority OF cases they
do not have this very fatal form. and
they can be cured with the proper
treatment.

tie grain will not come amiss, and
believe 1t would pay every sheep own
er to feed half pound of oats to his
sheep every day during the fall and
winter, even though they are on lux
uriant pasture.
There are many other ways Of car
ing for the ewes than the ones men
toned. The only point of great Inn
portance Is to give good, green food
and lots Of it. What the kind OF food
will be, every farmer can best decide
for himself but this much Is certain:
All extra labor with the eve flock at
mating season will be repaid many
times over at the Landing period.

the same thing-and this is just what
happens. The eve that has plenty OF
good nutritious grasses In the fall is
almost sure TO come to Landing time
In good heart and raise a good, lusty
lamb. while the reverse is true of the
eve that is not given a good chance.
Flushing is especially desirable In
large flocks where It is desirable to
have the ewes all lamb at nearly the
same time.
With many flockmasters It is CON
sidered desirable to have the ewes
bred as early as possible so as to
have the lambs ready for the early

Oftentimes the means nearest at

much the better, as there is no food

Rape makes a very excellent food
and l am very partial to 1t. A small
patch of rape sown in the summer,

SOW rape in the corn at the last cult
