as adding to her appetite and assist
ing in the furnishing of milk for the
pigs.
Clean kitchen Stops are all right
for the sows, too, but care must be
taken that no spoiled fruits or vege-
tables are put into the slop, for these
are pretty sure to result in diarrhoea
or scours in the pigs. and there may
be some loss before corrective RENE
dies can be administered. One of the
best of these, after the error in diet
has been corrected, is to give the SOW
in her slop twelve to fifteen grains of
copperas night and morning; if neces-
sary, slightly increase the size Of the
doses until effective
Provide dry bedding for the pigs,
and in good weather they should fol-
low the SOW around in order to get
the exercise which they need. In bad
weather the pigs will probably remain
in their beds, drawing plenty Of milk,
and they will then become too fat,
which condition is likely to be fol-
lowed by the thumps. Thumps is a
condition brought on by a fatty
growth about the heart and lungs, and
it is fatal in large percentage of
cases. Even though it does not prove
fatal, it always results in g decided
setback for the afflicted pigs at the
time and for considerable while
afterwards. 1t must be guarded
against, first, by not overlooking the
SOW, and second, by forcing the pigs
to take exercise if they will not take
1t of their own volition. Al long as
the weather remains bad, thus keep
ing the pigs in their quarters, they
should be stirred up and forced to
scurry around for Is to 20 minutes
every day.

self, should she fail to be officially rep

"Montana's most active competitors

NOT PROFITABLE
TO KEEP OLD HENS
Year|ing Fowls Considered Supe-
rior to the PuI|ets for Breed
ing Purposes.
(By r. C. WEATHERSTONE.)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
AS breeder l consider the yearling
hen superior to the pullets, as the
eggs are usually larger and will pro-
duce better developed chicks. In fact.
the vigor Of the offspring is not de-
creased If the hen Is kept three or four
years.
Considered as breeder alone her
value does not depreciate az long as
she produces good chicks. But we
must Judge her value also by tne
total amount of her egg yield and We
know that the older she grows the
fewer eggs she will produce.
Experiment station results and prac-
tical experience go to show that it
seldom pays to keep hens after they
are two years old, except for breeding
uses.
Notwithstanding the fact that pull
let's will lay more eggs than yearling
hens, believe it pays to keep as many
yearling hens in the flock as pullets.
Many who keep farm flock do not
consider the cost of raising the pullets
to an egg producing age while the
year-old hens are making a profit for
them.
Keeping about the same number of
yearlings as pullets enables me to
market about one-half Of the older
birds during the summer when they
are in good condition and will bring
the highest price.
In this way I have plenty of room
for the young pullets early in the fall
, and get them into their houses and
ready to begin laying before cold
weather comes on.
By planning my egg-producing
flock in this way I am able to supply
regular customers and maintain a
fairly uniform egg production during
the entire year.
After the older birds are marketed
! the yearlings alone must be depu..ded
upon to supply egg customers unti
the pullets begin to lay in the fa!s.
have found it unsatisfactofy, tt
depend upon pullets alone to Y;lk,n

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 26
THE COST OF PRIMARIES

ENNSYLNANIA'S next General
- Assembly ought to give serious
consideration to the suggestion
of one of the new senators that
the primary law should be so amended
that it will not only make voting
easier, but that the cost of the primary
elections should be taken from the
shoulders of Father Penn. In spite of
the fact that the present methods in
making nominations were hailed few
years ago as the very finest safeguards
that could be thrown about the ballot
in the keystone State. candor forces
the admission that after a fair trial
some of the procedure is more or less
of n nuisance. The votes at primaries
have not only dwindled in many dis
tricts. due TO restrictions and annoy
ing regulations, but have become
mighty expensive propositions to can
didates and the men who stand back
of party organizations with contri-
buttons.
On top of all this there is the very
apparent fact that the State Treasury
has been forced to disburse millions of
dollars for primaries in the last six
years and there does not seem to be
any way to escape this annual burden
except by a law placing the costs on
the party organizations. which means
the candidates and the party con-
tributors, who are directly interested,
II one chooses to put It that way. The
way things are going, Pennsylvania is
facing primary bills of three-quarters
of a million dollars per annum. The
settlement of the primary bills by the
Auditor General has been delayed.
Time has been taken up by an effort
to arrive at a system of charges and
this has led to threats of suits, to
pickering at both ends of the line, 10
veXatious delays and to a generally
unpleasant situation, particularly in
regard to Philadelphia Every year
this annual pulling and hauling takes
place and the State officials become ex-
tremely unpopular at some county
seats, while bills go unpaid and the
time for a new primary rolls around
with expense of another unsettled.
1t is an absurd condition that should
be ended.

COLONEL RoosEvELT.s PLAN

@OLONEL ROOSEVELT in the
current issue of Everybody's
- Magazine, has a distinctly con-
structive article on the subject
of national defenses. He calls the at
tention of the country to the system of
protection against invasion whereby
Switzerland at small cost to the nation
is able to swing into the field in few
days time a quarter million of men
trained in military service, and sug-
gests it's adoption here, with modifi-
cations, It is the sanest view of the
problem now confronting us that has
yet been expressed, and it comes from
a man of military as we'll as civic
attainments, who has a broad knowl-
edge of conditions both at home and
abroad.
As the Louisville Courier-Journal
we'll puts it, it is matter of regret that
so many Americans should take for
granted that all persons who are in
sisting on this country strengthening
it's army to the extent which the Sec
retary of War and the military heads
properly equipping our navy with men,
guns and ammunition are bent on n
career of conquest or of bullying Of
other nations. The extreme pacifists
who are loudest in their denunciation
of patriotic citizens who insist that
the country should take all necessary
precautions for self-defense are forget
full of their past assurances. Those
who favor wiping out the army en-
tirely, doing away with the navy and
removing all coast defenses are 80 few
as to be negligible. Practically all
admit we must have some army and
some navy The question, then, is
how much? There is little fear of an
invasion of the United States among
sensible men. But our difficulties in
the past have not arisen from invasion
of our soil. We cannot always deter
mine the issues ourselves. If a hos
tile power should seize even Cuba,
which is merely under our protection,
no influence on earth could keep the
people of the United States quiescent.
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines are possessions which we would
defend with equal promptness. We
have S4OO. 600, 900 invested in the Pan
anna Canal, of whose naturalization we
are the sole guarantor. Within the
last few days we have seen what a
serious obligation we voluntarily as
sumed in the Hay-Pauno afote treaty.
1t is our bounden duty TO compel all
nations to observe the rules of neil
tralization in the canal. 1t would be
supreme folly for this country not to
be prepared to fulfill its duty under
! the treaty.
That being true, Congress would do
well to name a commission 10 properly
study the situation and to outline
some such plan as Colonel Roosevelt
suggests with ample assurance that
| the country at large will approve.

LIFE RATHER THAN RATES

20 much has been said and written
about the rate adjustment func-
~ ton of the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission in the last
month or so that the statements OF
John p. Dohoney, the Investigator Of
accidents of the commission. in his an
nual report strike with timely inter
est just now
1T is more important to safeguard
the lives of people than it is TO deter
mine whether passenger is over
charged or whether a shipper is un-
justly assessed for the transportation
of his goods" remarks the investigator
in presenting voluminous report on
casualties on transportation lines in
Pennsylvania. This reference to the
safety work of the commission, how
ever, only calls attention to some
startling things While the rest of us
have been fussing about the cost of
a railroad ticket or the rate on a ton
of coal, something like 1O,100 persons
were hurt on the steam railroads of
the State, no less than 32S railroad
men were killed in discharge of their
duties, over 400 persons were hurt
on street railways. railroad men were
hurt by being struck by obstructions
along the track, people were hit at
improperly guarded grade crossings,
and other accidents were oc-
curing. And it might be remarked in
passing, although it is scarcely relevant
in discussion of such a serious topic as
casualties, that good many peoples
clothing suffered in connection with
car steps.
The commission has a definite func-
ton to perform in securing protective
measures, not only red lights at cross
ings, but to work to reduce the appall-
ing list of casualties on the railroads
and neither it nor the public should
lose sight of it for an instant in the
squabbles over a Communication ticket
from Germantown or Fox Chase to
Broad street station.

A REQUEST FROM TENNESSEE

-HAT Tennessee man who asked
Governor Tener to find him q
wife and insisted that she be
willing to help" and that it
didn't matter so much how she
looked" isn't as great a simpleton as
many a young man with thought of
matrimony in his mind might believe.
What that Tennessee farmer wants
is helpmeet, not a mantlepiece. He
is one of the common" folks and he
wants a wife of the same station in
life
Far too many of the young men of
the day insist on marrying as fancy
dictates, without thought of the future.
And then comes the awakening The
young woman can't buy the silk petit
coats that she has been used to buy
ing; the young man finds his angel
isn't half so angelic under marital
stress as she was in her fathers par
lcr. The divorce court gets the case
IL the couple in question do not have
an extra supply of common sense; and
maybe even though they do.
One thing is certain: Pennsylvania
girls should not take it amiss that a
male of the South looks Northward for
wife, for Tennessee is prone to boast
of its women.

I TRIMMED 1T

At trimming up the Christmas tree,
While all around me lurked
A ink that followed me downstairs.
Then up again and stuck
Around me. bringing unto me
All kinds of rotten luck.
The first thing that befell me was
When / brought up the tree
/ struck the chandelier and Knocked
Down glass shades one. two, three,
And ornaments, the incest ones.
In truth. almost a score
Were broken into many bits
When they dropped to the floor.
And when at last the job was done,
Twixt two o'clock and three.

And wouldn't go to sleep;
They just kept up a chatter till.

women have been working in Penn

still closer by the approval of site
near Muncy by the State Board of
Public Charities.
The legislation for the preliminary
steps for this institution was passed
during the last session of the General
Assembly and was one of the group OF
bills which Governor Tener said gave
him great, satisfaction to sign. In the
list were the bills forming commits
sions to take charge of the creation of
State institutions for feeble-minded
women, for the correction of young
female criminals. for the betterment
of the penal laws and for the treat
ment of inebriates and victims of
drugs and last, but not least, for a
general study of the condition of the
dependents in the State. They form
ed group of bills separate and apart
from the Industrial Accidents, Build
ing Code and other commissions charg-
ed with framing statutes of vital inn
portance to the welfare of everyone.
but it is doubtful If in the history of
the State so many charitable products
