TREATMENT OF SOME
DISEASES OF PIGS

The prime essentials to good results
with pigs are sunshine. exercise and
feed. says Professor l.. \. Weaver Of
the Missouri experiment station. One
of the things often giving trouble Is
scours in the young pigs. Scours are
usually caused by one of four things
either by changing the feed of the sow.
overlooking, dirty pens and troughs or
exposure Of either sow or pigs to cold
rain or to cold weather In such way
that they become chilled.
The thing to watch especially Is the
feed Changing from sweet to sour
milk often causes the trouble. as will
also the feeding Of too much protein
when the animal is not used to it. II
the SOW is fed too much her milk flow
Is so stimulated that very young pigs
will get more than they can utilize,
thus causing them to scour. Pigs
should always be in dry. clean quarters
and be fed In clean troughs. They
should not be allowed to run out in
cold rain or allowed to become chilled
In any way. Sows running through
filth and then being sucked by pigs
will often throw pigs off.
There are good many remedies for
this trouble. The first thing to do Is to
cut down on the sow's feed and clean
up her quarters if they need it. A TIA

Those who have felt the business
pulse speak of banks cschcwing spe-

only their own customers, of rail-

simultaneously with the financial
pinch caused in Europe by the Bal

of securities were offered on Eur0p-

The lo0scning up of capital which
is close at hand will absorb the UNI
digested European securities and Gre

States. Expansion of business will
increase railroad earnings sufficiently
to make their bonds again market
able. Then betterments and extern
siOns can be made, which will facil

of traffic and will cause purchases
of large amounts of material. With
the easier money market promised

There has not been depression,
there has only been a lull in bust
ness. 1t has extended to dealing in
those things which we need for con-
sumption from day to day, but has
been confined to branches of business
which could await removal of the
factors herein enumerated. A period
of economic readjustment in this
country has synchronized with per-
iod of war like disturbance in Eur
ope. Both sources of doubt, both
reasons for waiting, are being re-
moved at the same time. We are
justified in expecting a period of ac-

AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP.

Scholarship in America has re-
ceived grave damage from its
most inveterate enemy, which Is
early specialization. The stu
dent of English history who can
not express an intelligent or In
telligible opinion as to the signih-
canoe of the Stuart dynasty will
take many pages and draw nu-
merous maps and plans for the
purpose OF establishing by what
particular window Charles l.
passed out of the palace at
Whitehall to the scaffold. The
notion that this sort of informa-
ton is important at any stage In
a students career is an illusion
well worthy of the study of the
academic pathologist. The as
sumption that such information
can take the place of real grasp
upon ideas. tendencies and move
ments of opinion is hardly worth
discussing. The American col
lege must he brought back on to
a firmer basis than this If 1t Is
to survive and If it Is to be worth
working for. 1t IS probably not
possible to ascertain what pro-
portion of American students go
to college for social purposes
only. what proportion go with
specific vocational end in view
and what proportion go for the
purpose Of becoming literally ed
ucated gentlemen. 1t Is prob
able. however. that the class last
named is not now very large,
but the country will suffer Sc

A MANS LIFE.

A mans career is not the whole
Of life. IL this poor fraction Is
regarded as possessing an inte-
grail value there is Il pitiful pow
erty even in the midst Of album
dant possessions. The fullness of
any single life is dependent upon
the larger life about it. which 1t
is capable of touching, absorbing.
and transmitting into Its own vi
tai power and energy. The prog
ress of the world is due not so
much TO the great careers Of
great men, but in very large
measure to the excess of time
and thought and energy which
busy men have nobly given to
the worlds need and the worlds
distress. The untired efforts of
tired men, the generous giving
of time on the part of those who
have no time to spare, the devo-
ton of the hours of rest to addi-
tional service, the unrequited Ia
Dor, the investment which pays
no dividend-these are the fac
tors which enter cOnstructively
into the world progress and are
the hope of its salvation. The
tragedy of life Is It's failure to
touch the life Of tb1 world. 1t
may splendidly develop its own
resources for its own needs and
its own pleasures or. II you
please. for its own name and
fame. but its success only serves
TO make its failure the more con-
spicuous if its ambition does not
seek TO give as well as to get
and is not willing to stoop to
sacrifice as well as to glory in
success. John Grier Hibben.

Nothing improves the looks Of the

1t is better to have the reputation of paying
your honest debts than of being leader in

for the ignominy of getting

There are various roads that lead to wealth.

TO WEALTH starting point-the
regular habit of saving
a portion of your income. You must spend
less than you make or earn. AS an illustra-
ton, one of the common roads that lead on
to fortune, is judicious investments in real
estate. To buy land, you must have at
least some ready cash. Many man has
made profitable deals because he had more
or less cash on hand to take advantage of
the opportunity "hen it presented itself.
Options mortgages rentals-these all mean
profit to somebody, and it is never to the
man who has no money saved up who has
spent his money as fast or faster than he
made it, though he be as honest as the days
are long and as stout as Samson and as in
dustrious as a bee; not to him, but to the
man with the dough- so to speak. The
frugal and industrious worker and ludiCious
spender the man who does not get ashamed
of the tools he has to work with, the man
with an eye to business and who can CONTROL
his appetite and keep it within the limit of
his purse, is the man who FORCES ahead and
does not whine about the high cost of living,
but the man with four-bit appetite and
two bit pocket, is not the man to acquire
much wealth-usually living from hand to
mouth.

PATENT MEDICINE
PUT TO NEW USE
Chief Engineer Heising Experiments
with a 80 Per Cent Alcohol
Preparation.

A recent interview with Chief Engineer
Heising, of the Moon Motor Car Com
pany, on the subject Of substitute fuel
for gasoline in automobile engines dis
closed a very interesting fact. Mr.. Heis-
ing stated that he had been investigating
the subject of fuels other than gasoline
for internal combustion engines for
number of years.
The gradually increasing price of Saso-
line due to the excessive demand, long
ago challenged his attention. and he has
made some very interesting and original
experiments with other fuels, which
show very clearly that the engines ot
present design are not at the mercy OF
a shortage in the supply of gasoline.
Among other tests he ran a two-cylin-
DER. opposed-Iype, air-cooled engine With
a widely advertised patent medicine as
fuel. At that time, which was before the
pure food agitation and adoption of the
resulting laws, the medicine in question
contained around 80 per cent alcohol. and
all that was necessary was slight ad-
justment in the carburetor.
a well known automobile factory with
capacity. of over 5000 cars a year has
recently been experimenting with kero-
sine as a fuel in some of its stock cars,
using the regular engines. and has de-
veloped the fact that the automobile can
be very satisfactorily operated on such
fuel
Mr.. Heising says that the design of
Moon Motors will need no change to ef-
feet the use of other fuels and conse-
uuently owners of Moon cars need have
no fear for the future.
