OLD ENEMIES MEET
Film Brought Together Ex-Con-
federate and Federal.
After Fffty-one Years They Have Op.
portunity to Exchange Reminis-
cences at Outdoor Studio
at Los Angeles, Cal.

Flfty-one years ago, or in 1868, a
Confederate scout lay all day in a
shallow creek watching the Union
lines. A Yankee sentinel watched
him, and was prepared to shoot if the
Confederate moved. A meeting that
vivfdly brought back the thrilling days
of the Civil war, and particularly this
hair-raising incident, when they were
enemies and fought each other for the
glory of the blue or the gray, occurred
several days ago, when Scout w. H.
Taylor and Sentinel D. R. Crane rec
ognized each other on mimic battle
field at film manufacturing COM
pany's ranch near Los Angeles, Cal:
AT their meeting in that memorable
second year of the war, Taylor, a Con-
federate scout, was following the
Union lines in retreat from Pine Run,
Va. after an attempt to reach Rich
mond and defeat by General Lee
Taylor, seeking information, started to
cross a creek, but seeing Union senti.
nels on the bank hid all day in the
shallow water, waiting for night. He
finally escaped with such information
as he could gather. Crane, a sentinel
in the Union army, patrolled the bank
all day, waiting for sight of and a
shot at the scout.
At the recent meeting the two vet
erans went over the details of the day
and the battles that followed Both
men were weary and sunburned; they
had been living over again some of
the battles they had been in years be-
fore. These battles were to be a part
OF one of the great photo play war
dramas. And the surprising feature
Of the meeting was that it was not
the first mimic battle they had been
in; both had been working for the
same company for 12 months and had
never met.

Good Lesson in Motion Pictures.

Bryant Washburn, who is the sue
cessful villain of many of the pho
toplays, denies crime pictures are det.
rimental to the motion picture thea
ter-going public.
THE great thing in the crime pic
tures," said Mr.. Washburn, lis that
the villain always gets his just de.
serts. The lesson is, therefore, one
of good and not evil. If the villain
were ever successful in his malicious
schemes and plots, then it would be
different matter. But really think
that every one who sees the photo
plays cordially hates the villain. No
one has thought of emulating him, be.
cause the conclusion of the picture
always shows that he Is worsted, that
evil never wins, and that good and
virtue eventually triumph"

"Littiest Rebel" Popular.

No photoplay this season has
caught the public fancy more quickly
than 1.-THE Littlest Rebel" the Edward
Peple play.
The attendance has increased by
leaps and bounds daily, probably be-
cause of the war spirit resulting from
the interest in the war clouds which
are engulf1ng the European nations.

PROSPERITY SEEN
IN K|NK OF tail
More Profit in One Litter of Piqs
From Developed Sow Than
Two Young GiIts.

The pig that is making the best
gains has certain hnk of prosperity
in his tail.
There is more real profit in growing
one litter of pigs from a mature SOW
than two litters from an undeveloped
dam. We have had large number of
fine old sows and many times failed to
appreciate them until after they were
sold.
Keep the sows where they will not
learn to break through the yards and
fences, and keep the chickens away
from them, for sows are apt to cult
vate chicken appetite unless the
chickens are kept away from the hog
lot.
Unless the origin is known to be un-
contaminated by disease and there is
no possibility of infection along the
course, do not allow your swine &C.
cess to streams, for in many cases
cholera is spread for great distances
in this manner.
Don't fail IT, provide good shade for
the hogs during the hot weather; no
animal suffers from the heat worse
than the hog, and owing to his inabil-
ity to perspire. he Graves pool of cool
water to reduce his temperature.
In feeding the herd boar, it is i'm
portant to give him food that will
build up muscles and lean meat and
give vigor. The kind of feed is not
the only thing in caring for the herd
boar; he should have a good yard to
exercise in, or better yet, small pas
ture with green forage.
More harm is done feeding the
wrong kind of food than by feeding
them too much of proper ration
Feeding boars corn is very injurious
in it's effects. Corn induces too much
fat around the internal organs and
impairs the health and constitution.
The tax upon SOW that Is sucking
litter of pigs is so great that it is
poor economy to practice anything but
! liberal and judicious system OF feed
ing.
A car load of steers, with uniform
| style, size and markings, will outsel

The food required to keep an animal
up to its natural condition is called
the food of maintenance, while that as
simulated above that amount is the
food of production.
When We consider that two-thirds
OF the full ration is used merely for
support, without adding anything to
the weight of the pig. the common
practice of keeping pigs without con-
stant and unremitting growth seems
absolutely indefensible. Every week
that pig is not kept on the gain the
feed Is worse than thrown away, be-
cause 1t takes long time and a large
amount of feed to overcome the un-
thrifty habit and all food is lost un-
til growth begins again.
1t Is thus evident that skillful
feeder must feed for unremitting
growth. Foods are numerous and may
be fed in many forms, but from our
experience we think that the best and
most economical maintenance feed
consists of clover, alfalfa and blue
grass pasture.
The experiments made at many of
the experimental farms have proved to
US that 40 per cent more gains can be
made when feeding grain in connec-
ton with grass than when feeding it
alone. Further. that pigs fed grass
are at all times ready for their feed,
while those fed grain alone were at
all times of their feed and in an un-
thrifty condition.
Blue grass is preferable for early
pasture and is also good for late fall
pasture. alfalfa and clover for early
The Hope pioneer., 1914-09-03

and late summer pasture and rye ol
wheat for winter pasture.
Cowpeas, rape and cane may be
utilized to good advantage in many
localities, but where we can raise good
clover, alfalfa and blue grass we do
not depend on short rotations except
around close to the pens and feeding
yards to prevent soil washing and to
hold the fertility that would otherwise
go to waste. Thus by changing the
feeding places and moving the houses
we add an acre or twice that amount
to our corn land every year.
The feeders motto should be "a
steady growth from birth to maturi-
ty." 1t is when they are young that
we make or ruin pigs. 1t requires
study and practice to become a good
pig feeder. We must not be guided
by the theory but study to improve
upon what other men have done. Sue
cess will only come to those who watch
all the details of the business and
try to improve upon the methods of
the common feeders.
The large gains that should be
made in the fall when the pigs are put
on to corn depend on developing the
feeding capacity with liberal supply
of grass during the summer months.
In naming the kinds of feeds add
''the food of preparation and call it
grass, for there is nothing that will put
a pigs digestive apparatus in better
shape quicker than grass. The time
is past when farmers could afford to
feed grain alone to hogs and make any
profit out of the business.

neck in the loose ground. which be-
