DEFEAT CAUSED BY DRINKING
One Great Battle in American War for
Union Caused by officer Con-
fused by Liquor.

General o. o. Howard gives the fol-
lowing among other instances of de-
feat through drink In the American
war for the Union: I'm one Of our
great battles we suffered defeat, and
many of us have believed that the
mistake which caused the defeat was
due to an excess of whisky drunk by
the officer in command. had the tes-
timony from an officer who was with
him that pitchers of liquor were
brought to his table, and that he and
those around him drank as freely
from them as If they contained only
water. The orders the commander
gave were the direct opposite from
those he would have given had he not
been suddenly confused by drink. A
heavy loss of men and material, and
q dreadful defeat for cur cause, was
the result

Nothing in all the world is exerting
so great an influence on the thoughts
of men today as the teachings of
Christ. They are silently, but power
fully, changing the. habits and the
thoughts of men. These teachings
are more powerful than any political
or business creed and are destined TO
make the greatest history the world
has ever known. The most respected
personality of Jesus Christ He came
to give men life slbundantly. and he is
giving it to them. That is the heart
of the Gospel. the abundant life
And in the giving of it. history is be-
ing made, daily in most marvellous
ways Christianity is the greatest his

BAR THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS
Liquor Dealers Won't Patronize Pro-
fessionaI Men Who Drink-Wsnt
Ciear-Headed individuals.

Some of the best arguments against
the liquor traffic come directly from
those engaged in the business. II
their minds could be read, it would
be discovered that they rate their bust
ness none too highly, and would be
glad to be out of it were there no
financial reasons in its favor. A Chi
cago dentist, an ardent temperance
worker, has among his customers the
wife of a saloonkeeper. In reply to
his query as to why she continued to
patronize him, inasmuch as he gave
no custom to her husband, she said;
IF you had patroniZed our saloon, you
would not have seen me in your office
again. My husband and long ago
made up our minds never to employ
a doctor, lawyer, or dentist who used
our goods. When It comes to that kind
of service. we went clear-headed in
dividuals.''

PARASITES QUITE
COMMON TO SWINE
Verminous Pneumonia Occurs in
Pigs at All Times of Year,
Especially in Fall.
tBy DIR. w. L. BOYD, University Farm,
ST Panl MINI

(By DIR. w. L. BOYD, University Farm,
st. Paul, Mimi
Pneumonia of hogs Is not always
due to worms, yet it is not uncommon
to find young pigs, and even old hogs,
to be affected, and dying from infiam-
nation Of the lungs and bronchial
tubes due to the presence of large
numbers Of small white to whitish-
brown thread-like worms which are
found to be located in the bronchial
tubes. This parasite Is quite common
in the United States.
Verminous pneumonia is most often
found on low or swampy land. al
though it may occur on the uplands.
This disease of pigs occurs at all
times Of the year, but is more fre-
quently observed during the late sum-
mer and early fall When pigs are
first affected. the symptoms are few
and elusive, but as the invasion by
this worm progresses the symptoms
become more and more pronounced.
At this stage of development, frequent
spells of coughing are noticed.
There is thick discharge from the
nostrils which will at times contain
masses Of mucous. A close examina-
ton of this material will at times re-
veal the presence of young worms as
well as adult worms. The symptoms
most apparent to the Nowner are thin
ness and lack Of development of the
pigs. Death is probably due to the air
passages being closed or to watery
condition of the lungs.
At times this disease may be con-
fused with hog cholera or even with
tuberculosis of swine. BY careful
study of the symptoms and history.
together with the finding of the worms
either before death in the discharges
from the nostrils, or after death In
the bronchial tubes at the base of the
lungs, should be sufficient evidence To
enable one to be sure.
1t is very difficult to relieve hogs
affected with lung worms because of
the danger of injuring the lungs or air
passages in undertaking to kill or dis
lodge the worms. An ounce OF pre-
vention is worth pound of cure" Be
very careful not to introduce into the
herd any hogs that are afected by the
parasite. If you know that any low or
swampy ground on your farm has been
used as pasture for infected hogs,
keep healthy hogs away from it.
This is not an absolute preventive, as
the trouble sometimes occurs in up-
lands as well as lowlailds.

TWO VICTORIES ARE NOTABLE
Temperance People Highly EIated
Over Events Recently Enacted
at Nations Capital.

The two great principles of total
abstinence, and prohibition have lately
received wonderful impetus-the first
in the attitude OF the administration
at Washington, the second in the pas
sage by the last congress of the bill
regulating interstate shipment of
liquor.
When few days after March the
morning papers reported that this was
to be a white ribbon administration"
there was great rejoicing among the
temperance forces. and from National
w. c. T. U. headquarters the follow
ing message was promptly sent over
the wires:
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the White
House, Washington, d. GIVE are in
expressibly glad for the noble decision
made by the Wilson administration in
regard to the non-use Of wines and
liquors. The beneficent example, safe
for all to follow, will bless numberless
lives and brighten countless homes. A
half million white-ribboners, in COM
mon with other millions interested In
humanitys veal, are waiting you to-
day their heartfelt thanks.
LILLIAN M. N. STEVENS,
President National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
The temperance principles of Secre
tary and Mrs. Bryan are well known,
and it is said that most Of the cabinet
members are total abstainers. Mrs.
Champ Clark, leader of the congress
sional set, at her entertainments
serves nothing stronger than fruit
punches and lemonade.
The Punishment of wines from the
tables of the first ladies of the land is"
commented the Chicago Tribune, "one
of the most striking social changes IN
der the new administration" Likely
to become a popular fad" said another

Sow thinly. and do not be afraid to
thin out, after the plants come up.
Peas-Did anybody ever raise too
many peas? Plant one quart at plant
Ing ten days apart.
Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake Of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having larg-
and beans, should be given plenty Of
room, in order that the sunshine may
reach all parts.
Such vegetables as cabbage. cauli-
flower, lettuce and onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
Of manure.
Plenty of potash and phosphoTic
acid should be used with all vegeta-
bles and particularly with tomatoes,
peppers, egg plants and root crops.
Lime is the best preventative OF
club foot in cabbage. 1t doesn't al
ways prevent this disease. but it is
usually effectual.
Vegetables of distinct Leaf ma
ture as cabbage. lettuce, kale and
spinach, utilize to good advantage
heavy applications OF nitrogen, while
large amounts of this element applied
to tomatoes, peppers and egg plants
would be disastrous by encouraging
an excessive growth of leaves without
much fruit.
Telephone communication with all
available markets and private GUS
toners is a necessity to the gardener
if he desires to keep posted and take
orders for his produce.
When green manure crops are
plowed under there is more or less
! tendency of such material to sour the
land and applications of lime after
blowing under such crops sweetens
the soil and secures more favorable
condition for the growth of clover
]! is very important to work in clov
ers as often as possible and a sweet
soil is necessary to get good results
with them.

ALFALFA FAVORED
FOR THE POULTRY
Hay Can Be Cut Into 0ne-F0urth
Inch Lengths, Steamed
and Fed in Mash.
by MRS. A. j. wILDERD


Alfalfa has come into great favor as
food for poultry, both for the lay
ing hens and as a food for young
chicks or growing stock. The protein
in alfalfa is about the same as wheat
bran and is a bone and muscle or
lean meat grower.
Green alfalfa and a mixture Of fine
Iy cracked grains, mostly corn. to bal
ance the elements in the alfalfa with
skimmilk and fine grit and shells Is a
good ration for the young chicks. 1t
is a fine ration for the laying hens
also, except that the grains need not
be cracked
If allowed q run on green alfalfa
field the hens will, eat less grain.
Care must be taken not to let them
pasture on field of alfalfa, too long,
as they will kill out the alfalfa by
eating out the crown of the plant, and
il this crown is destroyed the plant
is killed.
Alfalfa hay can be cut into one
fourth inch lengths, steamed and fed
in mash. 1t is nearly as good fed
in this way as the green alfalfa and
will answer for green food in the
winter.
The process of steaming is as fol.
lows: Cut the alfalfa in one-fourth
inch lengths and put in tub or
bucket, pour as much boiling water
over it as it will absorb, cover closely
and let 1t stand for thirty minutes be-
fore feeding. This is a good addition
to the mash and when used only a
little bran will be necessary in the
mash Alfalfa can also be fed alone
and without steaming.
Green alfalfa has good effect on
the general health Of the fowls. and
another good reason for raising it is
the great amount Of food it will fur
nish per acre Rich soils will furnish
four crops in one year with total
yield of six to eight tons to the acre
This will furnish considerable feed
for the poultry and will save the ex
pense Of buying bran.
If we can raise alfalfa tc take the
place of bran we can raise all the
poultry feed we need, and this every
farmer should try to accomplish as a
saving of expense. One is inclined to
think that it is just as well to sell
something from the farm and buy to
complete food ration, but we re
member, when We buy we pay several
extra profits between the man who
raised it and ourselves.
The best way is to raise everything
that is fed out ON the farm, and by
raising alfalfa to take the place OF
bran and raising corn, oats and wheat
We have perfect food ration for the
poultry or any other kind of stock.
