HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Source Of Hog Troubles.

Hog troubles are due to too much
kirt and too much corn. says Kansas
Farmer. Corn Is a fat producer. but
not a muscle builder. and an exclusive
corn diet during the growing period
not only fails to supply the elements
needed by the animal, but is produc-
tive of digestion troubles and weak
nesses in the system which invite
disease. Corn is a good element in the
ration Of any hog at any time. There
is nothing better. but 1t must be bal
anced by alfalfa, clover or some other
heterogeneous feed during the growing
period of pigs and the breeding periods
of hogs. There is only n period In
the life Of the hog when an exclusive
corn ration should be used. and that Is
at the last end Of the fnttening period
of market hogs. There is no time in
the life of a hog when he should not
have clean. dry sleeping quarters and
pure drinking water. Both worms and
cholera come with filth.

Phosphoru. For the Land.

Phosphorus can be secured In no
other way than to buy it. In its cheap
est form it costs 3 to 4 cents a pound.
There are seventeen pounds In 100
bushels of corn. If fifty bushel crops
are raised about 30 cents per acre
annually would restore the phosphorus.
This is merely the cost of maintenance.
and the fertility would not increase.
AS this element usually limits the crop,
more should be applied than is taken
of. 1t is considered that 1000 pounds
Of raw rock phosphate applied per acre
nee in four years is a reasonable ex-
penditure. building up the soil rapidly
and proitably. This will supply ph0s-
phorus about twice us fast as 1t will be
removed in large crops.-Illinois Farm

James Fairman Fielder, who sue
ceeds Woodrow Wilson as governor OF
New Jersey when the president elect
resigns in preparation for his high of
fee as chief executive of the United
States. is d lawyer by profession and
has been active In politics for the past
ten years. In the recent reorganization
Of the New Jersey senate Mr.. Fielder
was chosen president of that body. and
under the laws of the state the presi-
dent of the senate automatically be-
comes chief executive either upon the
resignation or the disability Of the
elected governor.
Since 1903. when the prospective gov
ernor was elected to the assembly. he
has been a member of the New Jersey
legislature. In 1907 he was elected to
the senate and for the past two years
has been minority leader of the upper
house. Last November the political
o%verturn made him leader of the ma
jority and so he got In line for the .goY-
ernorship.
Mr.. Fielder is a native of Jersey City
and forty-siX years old. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools, of his ma
tive city and was admitted to the New
Jersey bar in 1883. His term of Office
as governor will expire next January
AS the law of New Jersey prevents any
governor from succeeding himself. 1t
will be necessary for Mr.. Fielder to re-
sign before next election If he wishes
to go before the people us a guberna-
torial candidate.

Live Stock and Fertility.

It is not impossible to build up Q
WORKOUT farm without making live
stock raising a feature. but 1t is much
easier to do it with live stock and, we
think, unquestionably mor profitable,
says Farm and Ranch. Live stock
raising requires a diversified system of
crops. especially Of legumes. which
greatly assist in restoring the land in
nitrogen, the element most likely to be
needed; the animals consume the feed
raised on the farm and reduce the loss
In fertility elements by returning to
the soil the manure from animals.

George II. Hodges Of Olathe, who has
just been inaugurated as the nineteenth
governor Of Kansas, is the first Demo
crat to take the gubernatOrial oath
since the induction of Governor G.. w.
Click, thirty years-ago. The new gov
ernor is a progressive Democrat and as
state senator initiated several Of the
reform laws that have been written
into the statutes Of Kansas. He has
also been an earnest supporter Of the
progressive legislation enacted during
the last three sessions Of the, legisla-
ture. M
The early life of Governor Hodges
was n Of poverty. In the summer Of
1869 the Hodges family, consisting of
father, mother and two little boys,
with all their earthly possessions in a
covered wagon, landed at Olathe. They
had come from Wisconsin. Two years
later the father died, and on the shoul-
ders of the two boys vas placed the
burden of supporting the household.
Their first job "a herding ows For
three years the embryo governor aided
his brother In driving to and from the
homes Of the town people about forty
cows, for which they received 81 per
month. Next he became a .lather and
then a travelling salesman for a big
lumber company. After managing a
lumber yard in Olathe he decided to go
into business for himself. He had no
money, but a banker who had known
him from hoyhood lent him $500 to
buy a stock of lumber. During the
first three weeks his sales amounted to
% cents, but he was not discouraged,
and. success finally came. Today the
two brothers own nine lumber yards in
eastern Kansas, q business investment
approximating $25O,OO0.
Governor Hodges is still In his early
forties and the prime Of his manhood.
He is married and has two children.
