The man who wishes to succeed in
hog raising must think at least a year
ahead and generally it pays to think
three or four years ahead.
About the first thing TO do is to
determine about how many hogs can
be profitably raised on the farm in a
year. This Is generally limited by
the amount of suitable hog feed that
the farm can produce annually, under
average conditions. such as corn, pas
ture, milk. etc.
TO determine the number of sows
TO keep for breeding depends largely
on the number Of pigs that can be
raised from each SOW or gilt. The
number of sows also depends great
deal on the wisdom of selection, feed
ing and the care that is given them.
There are times when IL is best to
keep old sows over. 1t is common
saying among successful hog raisers
that a pig from an old brood SOW is
a month old the day it is born as
compared with pigs from gifts. The
writer has found In carefully con
Quoted experiments that the average
birth weight OF pigs from SO gifts was
20 pounds. while the average birth
weight of pigs from 40 two-year-old
sows was 2.5 pounds.

Erae Whaat and Flour.

Toronto Star: Tho Canadian Miller
and Cerealist Of Montreal advocates
the removal of duties on wheat and
flour. 1t believes that the Canadian
miller has nothing to fear from free
competition. Canada grows the finest
wheat in the world. and has ample
power for milling. It is reasonable to
suppose that our -four mills, located
alongside the raw material. can man
ufacture more Cheaply than mills
which must haul their wheat from a
considerable distance. Therefore u
mills cannot be hurt by free competi-
ton. That sounds like good, self-re-
liant Canadian talk.
There Is also the fact that the Unit
ed States Is becoming more and more
Of an importing country and exports
less year by year. While it Is true
that this may be partially overcome
by intensive cultivation and the in
crease in the crop produced, there can
be no doubt but that the American
people will shortly become an import
Ing nation.
The western Canada farmer of
course wants the free American mar
| ket, which he would obtain If the du-
ties were removed on both sides of the
line. That would, as The Toronto
World says. be n way of breaking
railway n steamship monopoly. II
the farmer could ship his wheat south,
| he would be Independent of the trans
p%ortation companies. and they would
| have to bid for his trade by reducing
| freights. The issue Is, whether the
| country exists for the railways, or the
railways for the country.

FINGER PRINTS OF ALIENS
MAY BE RECOMMENDED,

The New York Evening Post:
Rhinelander Waldo, police commits
sioner OF New York. will probably
recommend to the secretary of labor
the taking Of finger prints Of all immi-
grants entering this country. A re-
port relative to the taking of finger
prints and measurements as a means
Of criminal Identification. is now be-
ing prepared by George S, Dougherty,
second deputy commissioner, and 1t
will be sent to Washington in a few
days.
Douglerty and Inspector Joseph
Faurot, an expert Of criminal identi-i
f~ication and head Of the detective bu-
reau, have given the. matter Of the
.identifications of immigrantsatheir at.
tention for some time. Dougherty said
that the taking of finger prints would
establish definitely whether AN immi-
grant was a fugitive from justice, no
matter how much he tried to- conceal
his identity in his effort to, enter tha
country. Police officers, the deputy
commissioner pointed out, would by
this system be able to trace aliens
who had committed crimes. Another
advantage would be the Identification
Of aliens killed while at work. 1t was
recalled by tDougherty that, in the
majority Of cases. the foreigners en-
ployed in constructive work were
known only by number. If finger
prints were kept on file, he said, it
would be simple matter to identity
many bodies which, otherwise would
be buried as those Of unknown men.
Dougherty's report will set forth in
detail the advantages derived hy the
police department. through the French
system of measuring criminals and
the taking of finger prints as a fur
Their means of Identification. Inspec-
tor Faurot recently went to France to
study the latest methods Of criminal
identification. Dougherty has lately
given much attention to the methods
practiced in this city, and says that
owing to the efficiency. Of the systern,
as perfected by Inspector Faurot. the
police have been able to make much
progress. Dougherty believes that r.

and measuring were adopted, the nos

A RED RECORD.

Again is the proof given OF the
shameful accusation that human life
is the cheapest thing in the United
states. The record of murders in this
country during 1912 shows that in
thirty large cities there were 81
homicides for each 100,0 900 of popu-
lation, which is a slight lie >reaso from
the 1907 record in the same cities, of
So.
Heading the list Of cities is Meant
phis, Tenn. There, according to the
figures given, 64.3 murders occurred.
for every 1905 0 inhabitants. This
is athe sec Dad time mat such an eVih
prominence has been attained by
Tennessea's western METROPOLIS. Even
New York city, which Is generally.
considered the camping ground Of the
gunman and assassin. does nor be-
gin to approach Memphis in this re-
gard, for but SO murders Tor each
100000 people were committed there
The statistics given disprove wholly
tho ommon belief that blood crime Is
greatest in those communities where
aliens are most numerous. Also they
show that the United States has an
u~nsavory prominence as compared to
foreign nations. Thus the 81 muir
deFs in the cities here compare with
80 in italy, PSI in Prussia and 1.01
In aILondon.
che cause Of this shocking condi-
ton is hard to fix definitely. That it
should obtain in a country which is
a Header in civilization, which never
tires of Boosting about it's liberty and
enlightenment, is something to give
pause to every citizen. The remedy
isSabout as dim as the cause, but
there can be no two opinions as to
tine. absolute necessity of a change.
HOW that is to be brought about Is
a subject worthy of study of the law
makers, educators, and, above all, the
parents, in every community in the

into mud holes and germs thrive
there and multiply greatly. 1t is best
to fill all holes that are made in wet
weather with cinders or coal ashes.
The pigs will not roo these out, but
on the other hand, they will eat con-
siderable quantities which aid in keep
ing worms out of the herd.
1t is desirable that pigs have a
place where they cal take a bath and
cool off, 1t is conceded that l am the
originator of the shallow plank bath
tub. This is simply a plank box eight
feet square and ten inches deep, set
in the ground SO that the edge Of the
box is two inches above the level OF
the ground. No surface water can
run into this bath tub, which Is sup
piled with fresh we'll water by a PIPE
from a watering tank. This bath tub
is filled with about six or eight inches
of water and then two quarts OF a
"cresol" dip Is added. The brood
sows and their pigs will battle several
times daily. The sows' udders are
disinfected, and they carry the disin-
fectant all over the yard and into their
nests. 1t has no bad influence on the
nursing pigs. On the other hand, it is
a. fine remedy for worms. It will be
noted hat when the water is first
put in and the dip added, the pigs will
stop and drink a few sips n from
this no bad results follow. l am not
prepared to state that any dip might
be used. In. fact, l am sure that some
poisonous ones containing arsenic and
other Virulent poisons would kill the
pigs. In this simple manner the yard
is made sanitary. There are no mud
holes to breed germs, but everything is
kept dry. These will destroy most of
rnrf1oc Tho rod h1nol Hnrp11Splaa
and antitoxins in the blood will kill
the rest.
Some breeders use the small "a"
shaped portable houses. These are
best Without floors. They must be
placed on high ground, where the dirt
floor will be dry. The pigs coming
into these houses wet from their dis
Injecting bath will help to keep the
houses free from germs. But it is bet
ter to move the houses a few feet once
in a while to let the sunlight and hot
sun completely sterilize the ground
where the house stood. In the case Of
the large and permanent hog house,
dirt floors simply will not do at all.
The ground becomes saturated with
filth. and it is impossible to get. sun
light into the corners. These floors
become the best possible germ breed
ers and must not be tolerated.
Neither are plank or board floors
safe and permissible. BY using them
the grower is taking long chances
| with cholera. These floors have cracks
| through which urine, eXcrement and
feed can work. Down under these
cracks in the damp darkness all kinds
of germs will breed and multiply. In
sects, worms, rats and mice are con-
stantly bringing these germs up into
the house, when 10! some day virulenr
disease breaks out in the, herd. In
such a case the ignorant breeder
blames luck and even Providence for
his mis~fortunes. " But he himself, is
to blame. He has a death trap right
under his hog houses.
