the colt to follow the mare while she

that have ringbones or SPAWN may be
a predisposing cause and the colt may
inherit a weakness so that just as
soon as put to work or put under a
strain, 1t will develop bone tumor
The first symptoms shown are
lameness and there Is more or less
heat around the affected part. There
may be no enlargement at first but
later this will appear. When lame

the ground first, taking shorter step

The brood sow should be fed Just
enough to keep her in a good, vigorous
condition. She should have plenty Of
exercise, and this can not be obtained
in stall in the barn or in a 10 by 10
pen, but she should have the range Of
small pasture. The SOW should not
be confined to small quarters until
within one week of narrowing time.
After arrowing the SOW should be kept
as quiet as possible for "a to 80 hours
and her ration should consist of moth
ing but plenty of fresh water. During
the first two weeks after narrowing
great care should be taken in regard
to the feeding of the sow, for over
feeding during these first two weeks
will often result in milk fever forS the
mother or scours for the litter.
The pigs should have an abundance
of sunlight and exercise, and should
be taught to eat as soon as possible.
There are vast opportunities for the
farmer Of West Virginia in the produc-
ton of the more desirable type of mar
ket hogs. He will find that this more
desirable type will find more ready
market, and their production viii
prove profitable enterprise.

FARMERS SHOULD
RAISE MORE HOGS
Only One Hog To Every Four
Persons In the
State
PORK is NOW VERY HIGH
Success in Raising Swine Depends
Upon the Breed, Quality and
Feed-Demand in State
Is Large.

There are 32S,1S8 hogs in West vir-
ginia, and by comparing this number
with the number of people who inhabit
the state, which is 1,221,119 we find an
average of one hog to every 3.72 per-
sons. This ratio does not seem so in
congruous until We consider the class
OF people of which the population Of
this state is composed. This being a
mining state, naturally large proper
ton of the people are foreigners, and
we find that the foreign people are
greater meat eater than the American
people.
The present price of hogs is from
IL to IA cents per pound dressed, or
S1s to 90 cents live weight. This is
tar above the price quoted by the va
rious live stock markets, and as long
as these conditions exist, the people
Of this state should be able to find an
exceptionally good market for all the
hogs they are able to raise.
Why, then, when the demand for
pork In this state is SO great, and
when there also exists relative high
price for farm products, does the pro-
gressive farmer not turn his thoughts
and interests to the production of
more hogs on his farm?
The success or failure of this under
taking would depend upon the kind
and quality Of hog the farmer uses
From the breeders standpoint. the hog
should be vigorous and prolific, and
the sows should be able to care for and
produce proper and sufficient nourish-
ment for her litter. They should also
be individuals that are good feeders,
and will readily take on fat, and still
retain a smooth, well-shaped body

point, the hog should be one that will
produce the highest percentage of high
priced meat with the smallest per-
centage of waste or offaI. In other
words, the butcher or packer demands
q hog with smooth, well-laid-in Shout
ders, a slightly arched back, good
spring of ribs, and with loin and ham
that are exceptionally well developed.
The body, as whole, should have
no indication Of being fiabby or having
waste.
Sows of the desired type to be used
In the breeding herd may be too ex-
pensive or it may be impossible to buy
suitable sows. Under these conditions,
the only method we have for obtaining
individuals of the right type is to OBJ
tain q good pure-bred boar. Using
this boar on the sows of the farm, Sc
lecting the most desirable females to
be kept in the breeding herd.
The SOW is supplying nourishment
for the litter she is carrying and, there
sufficiently developed, she must have
the kind Of food that will develop bone
and muscle. The proper proportions
may be secured by the use of such
feeds as standard wheat middlings
(shorts), bran, oil meal and digester
tankage in combination with corn.
Corn is one of the best feeds for hogs,
but does not supply a sufficient amount
of protein and should for that reason
be used in connection with feeds that
are rich in protein. Either one of the
following mixtures will give good re-
suits:
O-62 pounds corn, 80 pounds
shorts, pounds digester tankage.
(2)-2 pounds corn, l pound shorts.

Bone SPAWN.

To detect the enlargement caused
by ringbone when it first commences,
wet the hair on both legs around the
effected part and then rub the joint
carefully and compare the sizes, one
with the other, very carefully. Then
wait a short time and if heat or fever
is present, the effected part will dry
off quicker than the other, thus show
ing exactly where the trouble is.
After the inflammation starts and
the enlarged bone begins to show it.
self, the growth can not be stopped
until the two bones forming the joint
have grown together as shown in the
cut. When this is accomplished the
horse will travel sound except for a
stiffness in that joint and the blemish
due to the enlargement.
In treating the effected part, keep
the animal quiet in a box stall for
about six weeks during treatment, and
apply blister, all the way around
the effected part. In stubborn cases
sometimes we resort to using the hot
iron or firing. This should always be
left to the veterinarian.
The following drugs are used in
making bone blister:
Powdered Spanish Fly..3 drachm
Bromide of Mercury. / drachm
Lard ..................2 ounces
Mix these together to form paste.
Clip off the hair and then rub on the
blister as described above.

report to the police.
Alexander was leaving a garage in
South Park avenue when the bandit

Resolution of Protest Against
His Nomination.
OPPOSED TO ORGANIZED LABOR
Charges That Page Doesn't
Recognize Trades.
Wide Publicity Throughout
United Kingdom.

London. May 1.-THE resolution of
protest against the nomination of Wal
ter H. Page as United States ambas-
sador to Great Britain, was introduced
by w. Coffey, a member of the execu-
tive committee of the London trades
council on the strength of a letter
written on paper bearing the letter
head of the allied trades council of
Greater New York and signed Charles
L. Conway, secretary of the National
Brotherhood of Bookbinders''
After describing Walter H. Page as
a member of the firm of Doubleday,
Page & Co., the letter says:
This concern is bitterly opposed to
organized labor. The only department
that forced recognition from the union
standpoint was the bookbinders, but
they are now on a strike being forced
out, as the policy of the firm is to re-
place men with boys"
The letter also says that the Inter-
national Typographical union local No.
6, continues the firm on the unfair
list and the men who have been Sc
cured to take the strikers places re-
belled and struck without the aid of
any organization. The letter concIud-
ed by asking 'all the organized labor
of the United Kingdom to assist US
in giving this matter the widest pub
licity and also to file a protest to our
government on its selection and pro-
test to your own government for the
acceptance of this man.
Reply From New York
New York, May 1.-THE National
Brotherhood of Bookbinders is an out
law organization expelled two years
ago from the International Brotherhood
of Bookbinders, according to Peter ].
Brady, secretary of the allied printing
trades council of Great New York. It
has been repudiated, he said, by the
American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Brady announced today that he pur-
posed writing letters to President Will
son and Ambassador Page, explaining
that Conway communication was un-
authorized either by the printing trades
council or by the International Broth
erhood of Bookbinders and that he
would also so inform the London trades
council.
Whatever may be the conditions at
the Doubleday-Page plant in regard to
union labor Mr. Brady said, I'VE have
no desire to embarrass the administra-
ton by any such tactics as those en-
ployed by Conway.

against the appointment of Mr.. Page,
we would have addressed our protest

The Topeka storehouse has been
named the general store" of the Santa
Fe. At it's head is N. NJ. Rice. general
storekeeper of the entire system, and
with offices in this city.
The current number of the Santa Fe
Employees Magazine explains the work
of the store house in detail. The ar
ticle follows in part:
On an average forty-hve per cent
of the total operating expenses of a
railroad are made for material. In
other words the cost of material and
equipment for maintaining a railroad
in the proper state of efficiency
amounts practically to as large an item
as do the salaries of all it's employees.
Naturally, therefore. after the pur-
chase of this material, it's proper care
and careful distribution are worthy of
the closest attention and supervision.
To efficiently accomplish this end the
organization of the store department
has been effected. At its head is N.
M. Rice, general storekeeper, with Of
flee in Topeka, and to him report the
stationer and fuel supervisor and the
storekeepers for the A T. & 8. E. pro-
per, the Gulf and Coast Lines and.
through the three last mentioned, the
thirty division storekeepers under
whose direction supplies are dis
tributed.
System and Team Work Here.
The possibilities for the effecting of
economies, both in time and material,
through an efficient store department
are great, and it is with pride we Santa
Fe men can look upon the store de-
partment of our road, where system
and teamwork are every day in evil
dence It has earned a nationwide rep
utation, and its methods constantly are
objects of study by the various other
railroads of the country. This applies
not only to its orderly process of
