which they require OF all breeding an
imals. They must be uniform and of
definite type, the majority resembling
the English Yorkshires, which are
long, narrow, smooth and of lean con-
formation. These animals must be
prolific. Some of the best breeders
average 10 to 20 weaned offspring per
year. The offspring must be growthy
and finished at an early age, weighing
from 1870 to 200 pounds, with proper
considered an advantage to have the
market pigs white in color, because
the white pigs usually dress out more
attractively than colored pigs
On small farms where only few
breeding sows are kept, the young
pigs are never put on pasture, but are
fed for the market in the small lot in
which they were farrowed At wean-
pen and allowed to remain in pasture
until she farrows the next litter.
The system of feeding followed by
these people could be copied by many
Wisconsin farmers. The main grain
feed is usually made up of ground
barley or ground rye, wheat middlings,
and dairy products These feeds
are usually mixed into n warm slop
with skim milk or whpv and anouph
water added, If sufficient milk is not
available, to make the slop of medium
thickness. Cooked potatoes and
sugar beets are also fed Roots are
more generally fed to the brood sows,
especially during winter and at times
when pasture and green feed Is not
available.

milk dealers to improve their methods
of handling and distributing milk, in
order that they should not continue to
be accomplices in the slaughter of the
innocents.
Out of all this has come a recognition
by housewives that good milk is worth
more than poor milk; that more should
be paid for it and that germ infested.
filthy milk is not cheap at any price.
The final result has not yet been
reached. Already, however, there has
been a tremendous lessening of infant
disease and death. Money formerly
paid for deadly collie mixtures, doctors,
nurses, not to mention little white
boxes and the rental of the little white
hearses, has been saved.
Truly, we parents of today owe much
to the little martyrs of yesterday. Let

Wisconsin is rapidly coming into it's

HOW TO FEED

Many Wisconsin farmers who raise
hogs in order to utilize waste

haps seek to market a hog better fin

consin farmers compete with hogs of
the corn belt and market them in com
petition with the corn-belt hogs, there
will be no special premium paid for
lean finished pigs, or, in other words,
the bacon type. There are, however,
few home markets being developed
where young, immature animals, not
too fat, are preferred to animals Of
the corn-belt type. When more of these

Wisconsin Conditions Ideal for Bacon
Production.

demand for lean carcasses Of good
quality, and perhaps a greater adj
vantage that at present in raising
them.
If Wisconsin could copy some of the
methods practised by the Danes, who
are noted for the production of the
best quality of bacon hogs, bacon pro-
ductiOn in Wisconsin might be profit
able and a strong demand for bacon
hogs might be built up despite the fact
that the lard type at present predomi-
natas The Danes are fortunate in
having a large number of local and
cooperative bacon factories, which
slaughter their animals and return the
highest possible profit to the rur-
chasers. Their product finds special
market on both the continent and IN
the British isles. Their system Of
skillful marketing and scientific pro-
duction enables them TO carry on
definite system Of bacon production
at profit in connection with dairylng.
There are, however, two important IS.
sentials connected with this industry
which they seem to have mastered
quite thoroughly.
They seem to realize, first, that it is
important that they have a proper
type Of hogs for the production Of
bacon Of the highest quality. They
have found out that the type cannot
be maintained by developing breeding
animals and market animals together,
and consequently there have been es-
tablished in Denmark over 100 cen
tiers for the purpose Of breeding ami

centers are maintained b. the rc'ar~

tertained unexpected guests at dinner
The housewife found that there was an
insufficient amount of milk in the ice
box. The maid was hurriedly sent to r
nearby grocery to purchase milk in the
emergency. This milk was given to
three small children.
Three or four days later, the youngest
of the children was taken violently i'll.
The other children were less so. After
castor oil and starvation for twenty
four hours, the latter children recovered
promptly. The first child grew pro-
gressively worse. The symptoms were
those of a severe intestinal poisoning
A physician was called.
For two weeks, under care of skillful
trained nurses, and with daily consul
tations of leading medical speci alists,
the child struggled to live. His anxious
parents lowered about his bedside and
outside his door. They beseeched the
doctors to work harder, to call other
specialists to do something new.
Seldom have physicians fought as
those men did or watched more care
fully.
The child was doomed. His abdo-
men was stretched to the tenseness of a
drum head by the gas resulting from
the disease. His face and the rest of
his body wasted pitifully. Delirium,
pain, and exhaustion of the child,
finally caused the parents to welcome
his death for the rest and relief it
promised.
That baby was martyr to bad mum

sonal ignorance of the danger of giving
a child milk of unknown origin. This
was not an uncommon instance. 1t
was the frequent repetition of such
cases that led physicians, nurses, health
officers and visitors of the poor to band
together in the fight for higher milk
standards. Baby welfare organizations
were formed to teach parents who

The claim that Northern Wisconsin
has the best cheap lands for farming to

stance that while the exodus to Canada
has stopped, and the South is getting

pouring into northern Wisconsin has

Let Us Get Together

There is something more at stake now than the license ordinance There is really nothing at stake in that for the pledge has been given that it will be amended and that it's inequalities will be removed. Assurance has been given by the mission that it is intended only emergency measure; that in it is presented the only available way for raising the money that the city must have. Business have signified their willingness to pay their share of this money and have agreed to join with the commission in plan to determine their just share. We believe that such d plan can be arrived between the commission and those professional men who have instituted the referen- dunn movement, There apparently therefore, need be no continued dissatisfaction the part of any present complainant the terms of the ord- nance they will appear after amendment or the terms of a substitute which the commission and citizens may agree.
 But the good of the city is at stake. The commission form of government far the pub lie. mind of Phoenix is concerned, is at stake And both the city and the commission form of govern ment can be served only by the earnest operation of the commission and all patriotic cti-
 
 There are hidden interests and political inter- ests which, course, be brought into operation. The former want to destroy the ordi- nance root and branch that it's excellent regulatory features may be wiped out The political interests want to discredit the commission whatever cost the city.
 These interests must be opposed by the united effort of all good citizens. We appeal all men and who have genuine interest in Phoenix to get together. This work of cooperation should be directed first toward the preparation of amend ments that will meet every honest objection to or dinance No. 6.

The Weather Here and There
new deal

reference the records of the local weather bureau furnishes convincing and ncontrovertibe ev dence that the temperature yesterday, June 10, as well as that of the day before, somewhat higher than it the corresponding days of last De- cember January and February. Some of us have been begued into believing that the weather of the last days unpleasantly warm. But we know it is not so. We have known it since yesterday morning, when read the dispatches Tn The Republican describing the fiery furnaces which have been set up all the east, the blast from which prostraed people in all directions. In com parson our own Salt River valley weather has been refreshing cool and invigorating.
 Who would want to go into fiery furnace on a vacation? Who clothed in his right mind, would go anywhere outside of Arizona for real climatic comfort? Some of may want to get away the valley, not for comfort but for change of scene. None foolish to expect to find an improved climate anywhere else. No- where greater more pleasant change or scene be found than in the mountain towns and mountain resorts of Arizona.

It's Worth Millions

This valley has a chance to advertise itself by advertising an industry which, judging from the rapid stride has made in the last three years, is become the most important in the valley-Egyp- tian From 400 acres two years ago to $500 acres last year, to 1S,OOO this year, is the progress that has been made The condition of the crop this year, very largely the greater in- terest in industry and the better cultiva- ton the is 25 per cent better than it was a year ago this time.
 The thing needed is spread the fame of Salt River valley cotton In time it would natur- ally spread It has already spread somewhat, but spinners want to know about it than they have already learned Among the things they want to know is whether the supply of the grade of cotton we raise may be depended upon. They have already become alarmed the undependability of the sources in those sections of the world which have hitherto furnished the high grade cotton. In those sections the character the has greatly de- teriorated
 It is proposed to send a representative MT. W. S. Dorman of Mesa, England which must be- come the great market for our cotton, to tell the users and dealers all about it. MT. Dorman last summer visited the markets of this country and did good work in the limited time and with the limited at his disposal This time he should go back with abundant time and means. He will accompanied by three representatives of the gov ernment, whose expenses will be paid by the gov ernnent for the government feels intense interest in the of the long staple cotton industry in the southwest
 The money which will be required to pay the expenses of MT. Dorman will be much and the burden of raising it will be distributed through eral communities and among those who will be bene fitted by the development of the industry. The burden will be hardly felt.
 If some large syndicate to come to the valley with proposition establish great manu featuring plant here and should ask for d bonus of several thousand dollars it would, undoubtedly, be quickly raised. Here is a proposition good any that could be offered to this community. The cotton crop this year should leave among the growers and laborers of the Salt River valley not less than $125O.O00 Experts from the department of agriculture have conservatvey estimated that the industry will develop in year two to three times its present volume. giving to the valley annual revenue of than $4,O00000 That would be a net revenue. for every dollar would be left somewhere in the valley distributed among hun dreds growers and workers.

Everything this world is not unreal but much more is than apt imagine. As man thinketh, is he, is he likely to be- Colorado has had a coal strike we have learned from the papers For weeks, nearly everything that appeared in the telegraph news from Colorado re- lated to the coal strike. The Denver papers were full of it. The whole productive activity of the state seemed be devoted to the production of trouble.
 Disorder breeds disorder, and it inevitable that disorders would arise of the detailed ac- counts of the disorders in the strike zone. Capital investors and home-seekers attracted to the Centennial state which seemed to be one seeth- ing hotoed of disturbance, violence and bloodshed.
 The Denver newspapers which have been in the past largely given sensationalism at last saw the point, They down the strike news and took it off the first page and buried among the patent This is the only beneficial effect on record of the printing of patent medicine ads They helped bury the strike news. Thus all the morbid matter which pessimsts read collected together and out of the way of the gaze of optimists
 The front pages were devoted stories agri- cultural and industrial development. The editorial pages began telling what Colorado good for and they ceased telling what it was bad for There was an almost immediate response to the changed attitude of the newspapers. The people began quit looking down and looked up They stopped talking strike and turned their attention busi- ness development, and discussed the prospects of d boom which, it shown by the newspapers they had good reason to expect.

Mines long idle opening up What is going in the strike nobody know Too attention had already been given that by the populace which could accomplish nothing except to lash itself into a of impotent excitement. The strike of cVurse is bad thing but cannot be made better by con- sant thinking of it and the constant talking of it.
 Colorado, and especially Denver, has been in bad way for several years. It has allowed itself to be the mercy of agitators and politicians It has seldom been free from strike troubles, and it has largely advertised it's Newspapers have cursed and discredited and municipal govern ments to which they have been politically opposed They betrayed a want of confidence in Colorado They could expect their fellow citizens and out sders to feel much confidence.
