ADVICE FOR THE PROFITABLE Pso-
DUCTION OF HOGS.

TO produce pork profitably
hogs must feed and Craze con.
tlnuously on pasture and crops
particularly planted for them, y
is the advise of experts Of the
FARMERS cooperative branch of
the Bureau OF Plant Industry.
department of Agriculture
Very seldom is the growing of
hogs for slaughter a source of
profit unless proper grazing and
feeding methods are followed.
I'm the spring, summer, and
fall there are many crops for
pastuilng hogs, but during the
winter the crops to select from
are limited. On almost eveIy
farm the production and keep-
ing Of hogs in winter is expen-
sive, and generally it is not
profitable for the reason that
large quantities of corn are fed
without products of green crops.
More winter grazing is needed.
for which many crops are a.
dapted. The most reliable are.
however. rape, rye, oats, wheat
and barley. 1t is not too late to
plant these crops and in most
sections of the South this is the
best season.
"For grazing purposes these
pasturlng crops for hogs should
be sown on specially well drain
ed and prepared land that is
either rich or has received a lib
eral application of manure
Good winter pasturage is not
obtained except on the best
drained lands.
"Theseeding should be heavy

Robert D. Allen, Butler, Mo.
Dear Sir:-I note that you have
been appointed delegate to the Ma
tional Drainage Congress to be held
in St. Louis, 1O-11-12, inst.
This is one of the improvements in
which | feel very much interested
and it seems to me that every good
patriotic citizen should be, but we all
have weakness called selfishness
that is likely to manifest itself in some
form.
But to the point to which | wish to
call your attention is this.
observe that almost every one in
speaking of the control of the over
flow waters continually talk of dikes
and strengthing the bikes. The dikes
are all right so far as they can be
made available, but they are only part
of the work necessary to the complete
control of the flood water. Anyone
who has looked into the condition as
it is today is aware of the great num-
Der of bends the channel makes as it
winds its way to the Gulf. Each
abrupt turn made almost stops the
flow and the on-coming water forces
it up like dam.
The only information l have on
this point is that the distance by the
channel now followed is about three
times the distance by a right line
from St. Louis to the Gulf.
Now this is my view of it. To get
all the available machinery now in
use on the Panama Canal which will
be completed by the time this could
be got in readiness to useit. Iwould
open a channel directly through all
those abrupt turns and give the water
as nearly direct course as possible.
This would very materially increase
the flow and shorten the distance to
the gulf many miles.
Here some one refers to the eX-
pense this would entail.
Yes, it will cost a goodly sum, but
it would not have to be repeated year
after year and it would be a certainty
and not an uncertainty.
1t would open up an empire of the
richest alluvial soil to be found any
where land now without value
would be worth from 500 to $500 an
acre. 1t would pour an annual flood
of wealth into the treasury instead Of
cries for help with loss of property
and life.

Both me-. jumped at once and

the fire. The car was insured

Plans are practically COM
p'ete for the country wide dedi-

night of Friday, October 81.
From New York to San Fran
cisco in over 1000 cities, towns,

ton Of this great transconti-
mental thoroughfare will be
dedicated to Abraham Lincoln.
Western Iowa towns are to
be included in this great cele-
hration, and celebrations are
planned at a number of points
in this section already. These
viii occur Friday evening, Oc-
toher 81, at the same time as
those along the line of the road
at more distant points east and
west. They will be held at diff
fersnt points in Harrison,
Ora wforG. Carroll and other
counties through which the
route OF the Lincoln Highway
runs.
Council Bluffs is to take part
IN the general observance, but
the celebration here will not
partake of the dedicatory nat
ure. 1t will be more Of gen.
eral rally to the support of the
road, and will be held on Thurs
day evening instead Of Friday,
in order not to conflict with the
other observances along the
line on Friday evening.
A large crowd Of men from
all this section interested in
the good roads idea, are ex-
pected to be present at the
Council Bluffs banquet.
Cities on the route will nat
orally have the greatest part
in these celebrations, but there
will be many programs carried
out at other points where good
roads enthusiasts gather. The
