HOGS AT A PROFIT.
By i C. Lea

Hogs will eat anythlng-don
let them. ~
See that yours eat and drink
nothing that they cannot turn
promptly and economically into
! $$$ for your pocket.
| In series Of experiments on q
| big scale the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture succeed
ed in producing pork at a cost az
low as one and one-half cents a
pound. The methods used, with
the results obtained, were put out
in an intensely interesting pamph-
iet--but in form to interest only
those with ample capital.
The Southwest Louisiana De-
velopment Bureau has had the
! 6,acre plot on the front cover of
this brochure prepared by an eA-
pert on Southwest Louisiana
crops, ON a basis Of interest to
the farmer Of most meagre capi-
tal-or with no surplus capital
whatever. Seed and little fenc
ing, if one has fair brood sows
ard there is a good boar in the
neighborhood, are the only items
Of expnse. necessary to the turn
ing off of 60 or more fat porkers
every year.
Don't say, because you have
never grown them, that these
crops shown OIL the plot will not
be successful. Every one Of them
is being profitably grown by
practical farmers within the dis
trict today. You probably can
not reach the low government
cost record under ordinary con.
ditions with them, but you can
make three-cent pork. 1t is be-
ing done. The formula outlined
may be changed somewhat if de-
sired. Peanuts, for instance,
might be sown now instead Of
June Corn on lot No. 4 or Soy
Beans on lot No. 2. Other
changes may suggest themselves
to the intelligent farmer. With
any kind Of judgment the SEIZED
nle outlined will provide all nee
essary feed for five sows with
their litters, except for little
middlings and chopped oats dur
ing the early growing period, and
hard corn or peas for the finish
ing.
Lot No. 1, the permanent pas
ture, is the most important. 1t
should be dry, with sufficient
shade. For the sows with litters,
low sheds cheap as you please, so
that they are rainproof, should
be provided.
And water-that is the really
important thing. Provide plen-
ty Of pure, fresh water, changed
two or three times a day. Build
concrete troughs if you can. But
logs followed out, with bottom
drain, and coated inside with tar
or creosote mixture, are prac-
ticallv as good-anything so. you
are sure the water is pure and
kept fresh by constant renewal.
Convenient to the water trough
a box should be set in the ground
and filed with the charcoal mix
ture. Keep it filled.
Watch your hogs for vermin
and if they appear spray prompt
ly with any Of the commercial
insecticides. Watch them also
for any unusual looseness of the
bowels. Isolate any infected
promptly, and call on this bu-
reau for expert advice and as
sistance. If hog dies burn on
the spot or bury deep in quick
lime.

NEW YORK FNANCIERS
FAVOR WILSON'S PLAN
Government Must Take Responsibility
for Condition of Railroads. De-
clares George ]. Gould.

New York, Jan. eO.-Important local
bankers today expressed general satisfac-
ton with President Wilson's message on
trusts.
They took exception, however, to sug-
gestions by the President that private
individuals claiming to have been in
jured by monopolies adjudged guilty by
the government be permitted to use the
evidence produced by the Federal author.

Leading bankers believed this would in
volve large corporations in endless litiga-
ton and widen the scope of blackmail

practice of bringing strike suits George
]. Gould, in discussing the Presidents
message. said:
II would much prefer to have the issu-
ance Of securities regulated by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission than by q
number of State commissions. With the
power to do this and that which they
already have-to regulate rates, the gov

HOUSE Committee DID
AS MAJORITY WISHED
Mrs. Gardner Says Women Have Ut.
most Confidence in Mans
Ability and Justice.
SPEAKS FOR ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS

'1n defeating the creation Of standing
committee of the House on the question
of woman suffrage, the House Rules Com
mittee acted in accordance with the will
of the majority of the American people,
paying especial attention to the desire of
the vast majority of American woman
hood who do now as they have always
done-placed utmost confidence in the
ability and integrity of the men to pass
laws for the best interests Of the whole
country"
This statement was made yesterday by
Mrs. A. P. Gardner, president Of the Dis
frage,. in discussing the efforts Of the
suffragists to discredit the American man
and brand him as being inefficient to
adopt measures for the protection Of the
women and children.
TT is our firm belief that the men who
sacrificed their lives and fortunes to es-
tablish the American republic were men
whose patriotism cannot be questioned, %
continued Mrs. Gardner. Their sons and
grandsons and great grandsons who
fought in the Indian, the Mexican, the
civil and Spanish wars, added to the
glory of their grandsires and that Of
American patriotism. The American man,
whether on the field of battle or in legis-
lative halls, has always had the best in
terests of his country at heart, and the
very fact that the United States is ad-
mittedly the leading nation of the world
establishes the undisputed excellence of
the wisdom and efficiency Of the men Of
our country"

Sets UP Prior Claim,

Unofficial dispatches from Paris, re.
ceived here yesterday, setting forth the
position the French government is said
to have taken with regard to Mexico's
default on the interest on her foreign
debt, were regarded as the most inter-
esting and most important development
of the day.
There is a disposition here to regard
the action of France in pressing Huerta
for payment of the interest due as a
step taken not SO much in the hope OF
getting the money, but to establish an
early claim. 1t Is believed that France
hopes by this action to set up a claim
for priority of consideration when settle
ment day comes in Mexico, and there
Is no doubt felt here but what she has
strengthened her position for the future
by the action with reference to Mexico.
In view Of the position in which Presi-
dent Wilson now has the powers, the
being pledged to await announcement of
American policy before doing anything
in Mexico. the REIMBURSEMENT by France
OF her contract right to seize the Mex
lean customs to the amount of the in
terest due on Mexican securities held by
her, Is regarded as the only course of
action open to the French government.
1t has been admitted by the Europeans
that as long as they are not In a posi-
tion, to undertake the whole task of
intervening in Mexico. there is no use
in their trying to use force for any pur-
poses as long as the United States at.
titude remains as 1t is.
