HOG AS MORTGAGE LITTER"
One Great Enemy to the Industry 10
cholers-EternaI Vigilance Will
Control Disease.
By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado

tBy GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado
experiment Station)
There should be, and usually is,
more money made in raising hogs on
the farm than other animals. Aside
from cholera. hogs are less subject to
disease, reproduce faster, and make
better gains per pound of feed con-
sumed. The annual increase OF
horses, cattle and sheep, ranges from
90 to 100 per cent. The increase of
hogs should be from 500 to 1900 per
cent. The sow has the advantage in
bringing forth two filters a year and
farrows several at each litter.
Doctor Warrington in Chemistry
on the Farm" states that for each 100
pounds Of feed consumed, the differ
ent farm animals make gains as fol-
lows: Cattle, nine pounds; sheep, IL
pounds, and pigs, 20 pounds. Pigs
then make nearly two and half
times the gain over cattle for the
amount of feed consumed.

make money. Because of the fact
that hog raising, when properly man
aged, has been SO profitable, the hog
has been styled the Mortgage litter"
The one enemy to the business Is hog
cholera. No doubt much can be done
in controlling cholera by the farmers
cooperating in adopting measures
which will prevent the dissemination
of cholera 1t is up to the farmers
themselves, on last analysis, to con-
fine cholera on the one farm where 1t
starts, by strictly following the advice
of sanitary authorities and all work
Ing together to this end. ! know of
a farmer who kept his hogs healthy
for four years, while the neighbors all
around him were losing their hogs
from cholera. He did it by an eternal
vigilance in keeping infection out, and
this man made regular chore of
cleaning the hog pens every Saturday
afternoon.

TO RECLAIM THE NILE DELTA
Egyptian Government viii Pump 100,
100000 Gallons of Water
Daily.

London. - With the object of re.
claiming the great Nile delta for cul.
tivation, the Egyptian government has
decided upon the installation of ten
pumps, each capable of delivering
100,000,000 gallons daily. These will
draw away the waters of Lake Mare
otis, and an additional eight pumps
will probably be required.
The pump used is really a gas en-
CINE in which the piston, the connect
ing rod and the fywheel are all COM
posed of water. Like most great in
ventions, 1t is very simple; it is also
astonishingly economical In the mat
ter of fuel. The pumps at Chingford
are capable of pumping between them
1So,O00,00O gallons day; the largest
can pump 10000 gallons a minute, or
more than 5O0OO,0oO gallons a day.
The pumps to be built for the Egyp-
tian government are to be twice this
size.

FAT WOMEN FOIL ORGANISE

pointed Musician and Defy
ConstabIes.

Connellsville, Pa.-Six stout women
foiled three constables, priest and
an organist in st. Johns Slavish Cath.
Ollie church here, when they blocked
the way to the organ and prevented
the musician from performing his du.
ties.
The six so wedged themselves along
the stairway leading to the organ that
they could not be moved, either by
threats or entreaties. After laboring
for nearly an hour, sometimes attempt
ing to use force, the constables gave
up their task and the services pro-
ceeded without music.
The congregation has been at odds
with Rev. Father Anthony F1lkorn
since the discharge of one organist
and appointment Of John Stragny ir

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

II doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health. success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped UP several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow. weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought 1t was bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read OF Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
it and were free Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"

PROPER PRUNING IN SUMMER
Thinning Out and Cutting Younger
Branches Is All That Is Required
Danger of Sun Scald. .

OF late years we have heard good
deal about summer pruning and it's
value of inducing fruit buds to form
on unproductive trees. The Kansas
station has made some careful expert
ments with summer pruning of ten
year-old apple trees which have borne
but little fruit and showed few fruit
spurs.
The new wood was cut back and the
heavy growth that shaded the two and
three year old wood was thinned out.
A lighter pruning was given the or
chard the next summer.
The orchard was in full bloom and
produced fair crop two years later.

Apropos of certain fresh revelations

Roots for Feed.

Roots are excellent feed for dairy
cows and are especially desirable for
the fall and early winter, as they
are palatable, easy to digest and
stimulate the flow of milk. Less
grain is required while roots are be-
ing fed. The change from roots to
more grain should be made grad
ually, adding grain at the rate of one
pound for ten pounds of roots with
drawn.

Profit In KEEPING Hooa.

One man says: with bacon at rs
and 80 cents pound 1t pays to keep
hogs and keep them right" There is
no question about profit in keeping
hogs right, but at the same time the
big hole in the proposition is the fact
that the producer is not getting rs
and 30 cents pound for the bacon.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-08-27

Fewer water sprouts or suckers have
been noticed on trees of similar age,
that were grown on similar soil and
pruned in the summer than those
pruned in winter and early spring.
There is less danger that the
operator will remove a large amount
of wood in the summer, for he can
readily see the danger of sun scald.
Thinning out and cutting the young
er branches Is all that is required IL
a reasonable amount of care is given
the orchard Light summer pruning
appears to be good treatment for
unproductive trees.

A survey made by the United States
department Of agriculture indicates
that II there were proper control Of
dogs the number of sheep on the
farms could be doubled without dis

Eggs Gather Odors.

Eggs are like butter in gathering
odors. The shell of an egg is por-
Gus and let's any penetrating odor
into the egg itself. We have seen
a basketful of fine fresh eggs ruined
by being placed too near table or
stand that had been a kerosenecan
stand and was almost dripping with
stale oil

Value Of Butter-Fat.

A ton of butter-fat Is worth about
$70O, and when sold take practically
nothing from the fertility of the soil.
The lesson from this observation is
that If one expects to retain the pro-
ductivity of his farm, he should give
careful attention to live stock, espe-
cially the dairy COW. See that the
live stock have plenty of salt available
at all times.

Keep EN- Moving.

For years and years, farther
back than most of the residents
of Fort Mill can remember. the
town has been visited by bands
of wandering Nomads. When
these bands reach the city the
men folks content themselves
with sitting around on their
wagons or endeavoring to trade
a horse or two while the women
separate and work upon the
people, especially the ladies by
Offering to foretell the future.
Sometimes these bands are
small, and consist of but two or
three wagons. while at other
times there are dozen or more
wagons in one outfit.
There are few women in the
city but who have hurriedly
called her small children home
when she caught sight of a
covered wagon, dilapidated gen.
orally. but with a gaudy top,
decorated in all colors OF the
rainbow and meant to depict
scenes of woodland with stream
of crystal water vending it's way
between the trees. come into
sight. These wagons, heavily
laden with humanity and a few
blankets, usually lumber down
the streets, the wheels wabb!ing
and crea king, drawn by a pair Of
aged horses; fitted with gaily
bedecked harness covered with
brass trimmings. Usually num-
erouS animals are trailing be-
hind for trading purposes. When
a number of these outfits unite
in one caravan it makes a great
sight, and the people would
have continued to have an op-
portunity of witnessing it, had
the gaily and gaudy female
\ members of the bands not be
come so aggressive in their pur-
suits OF money, by hcccing
innocents who are desirous Of
peering into the future.
In many towns the time is
limited in which Gypsies are
allowed to stay. others will not
allow them to stop at ALL The
latter plan is the best. This
kind of treatment will no doubt
have the effect Of driving these
people out of this locality. and
that is what the people desire.

Papers everywhere are full of
warnings to parents against per-
mitting their children to- play on
the streets. Cities where statis-
ties are kept show in every in
stance that the number of
automobile accidents increase
every year. Public streets are
being transformed into thorough
fares dangerous as q railroad
right-of- way; the time has come
when they must be abandoned as
Fairgrounds. The street is at
best very poor place for chill
dren to play and now that the
automobile is here to stay. and
numbers of them are on our
streets daily, we must take
cOgnizance of the added danger
to the little ones and use greater
diligence to keep them out of the
danger. The admonition which
makes us careful when crossing
the railroad tracks must be re-
peated with reference to the
street.
