TIRPITz THE ETERNAL

When historians come to analyze

find out its real causes, say in about
fifty years from now, 1t would not sur
prise some of the closest students of
these remarkable times If they were
to discover and put down as one CT

admiral of the German navy, the crea-
tor of the German navy, and one of
the creators of the German foreign
and domestic policy.
'Tirpitz the Eternal" is his name
in Germany. It Is "Tirpitz the
Eternal" because while the kaiser has
appointed and discharged chancellor
after chancellor, and army and navy

CHICAGo'S COWBOY MAYOR

II seems quite fitting that William
Hale Thompson should rule over Chi
cago. the city where the largest stock
Yards in the world are located, for he
has been cowboy and ranch owrer
and has complete knowledge OF the
cattle business.
His career as a cowboy started
in 1884, when he was fifteen years old.
He went to Cheyenne, Wyo., to spend
a vacation from school, and from that
time the lure of the plains called him
from Chicago every summer. He rode
the ranges of the Standard Cattle
company in Wyoming, Colorado and
Montana.
Later he purchased a ranch OF his
own in Holt county, Nebraska, and
managed it until the death of his ia
Their, in 1901. forced his return to

MICHIGAN'S PIED PIPER

in the person of Representative Har-
vey A. Penney of Saginaw, serving his
first term in the legislature, who
comes forward with a bill designed to
drive all the rats from the precincts
of the Wolverine state.
Representative Penney, after hav-
ing made an exhaustive study of the
rat, has failed to discover just what
the rats mission in the world is, but
he has found that the rat breeds in
filth and is dangerous to the public
health, being disease carrier just as
are the fly and the mosquito. Besides
this, Mr.. Penney points to the harm
the rat does to everybody and every
thing with which he comes in contact.
The rat robs the granary as well as
the grain In the field, and starts fires
well, everyone knows the innumer-
able sins OF which the rat is guilty.
Government reports show that the rat
caused $30,000,000 in damage in the

CAN 0UTRUN WILD HORSES
Santo Domingo Indians Are Credited
With Remarkable Speed and
Powers of Endurance.

In the old days of the wild and
woolly West" plainsmen and travellers
by overland wagons held to the belief
that long journey could be made
more speedily by man afoot than on
horseback. In the army the impress
sion generally is accepted that infan-
try can outtravel cavalry on long,
marches. But to the Santo Domingo
Indians of New Mexico belongs the
credit of chasing wild horses over the
ranges of the hills until the animals
are exhausted and submit to capture.
No marathon runners have ever
been recruited from this tribe OF
Pueblo Indians, for the wonderful
powers of endurance of the runners of
the tribe are little known outside the
district Immediately surrounding their
village.
These runners of the Santo Domin-
COS come from a race of f1eet-footed
ancestors. Like all tribes of American
Indians, they have accepted the means
of travelling best suited to the country
where they live. The Sioux OF the Da-
kotas are horsemen. The Santo Do
mingos have been walkers and run
ners always. Their physiques show
the results of generations of footmen.
Great chests, almost abnormal In de-
velopment. wedge upward from slen-
der waists, while sinewy calves pro-
claim the strength to hold to a hard

Usually their chases of the bands of
wild horses owned by the tribe are
matters of necessity. The enormous
stretches of broken country where
the horses Craze, and the untamed
spirits of animals that may not have
been touched by man in their several
years of existence in the hills. make
1t necessary to wear the creatures out
and run them down. None but Santo
Domingo Indian probably is able to
do it.

TIME FOR SELLING PIG CROP
Much Depends Upon Price of Feeding
Materials and Development of
Bone, Muscle and vigor.

The best time to sell the pigs de-
ponds upon the price of feeding ma
terials that may be utilized in growing
them and developing their bone, mus
Gle and vigor, and preparing them for
the fattening period. When we have
plenty Of forage, skim milk and other
homegrown foods, we often find it ad-
vantageous to allow them a longer
period of growth than when we feed
en- exclusive grain diet Market de-
mands are for a medium-sized hog,
with plenty of lean meat; strong, but
not too coarse bone; plenty of activity
and strength to stand up well during
shipment.
Fall pigs, as rule. are less profit
able unless the feeder can utilize what
would otherwise be waste feed in keep
ing them through the winter. Pigs
that make good gains during the win
ter, and can be put on pasture in the
spring, and then fattened in the fall,
often make good gains during the
longer periods, and cash in fine profits
In the fall On account of coming to
maturity at the best time TO breed Tor
spring filters, we have found fall far
rowed sows very desirable for breed
ing purposes. The second season gives
them the bone and muscle develop
ment at a very low cost
Warm drinking water, light, warm
and dry quarters, succulent food with
frequent change of breeding and diet,
will insure good growth during the
winter, but unless we are in the best
shape to look after these details, we
find 1t best to confine our feeding to
spring itters- The fall pig that goes
into the winter without a warm place

ing food. has a winter of misery be-

New Coal-Cutter.

Revolutionary changes in coal
mining methods are promised upon
the general introduction of a coal
mining machine developed by a
Pittsburgh mining and mechanical en-
gineer, who has spent more than ten
years in perfecting the machine.
The device, constructed of struc-
tural steel, can attack the coal seam
In any position, moving up or down
or in any direction. 1t takes out more
than 80 per cent of the coal in the
ground, whereas the best practice of
today seldom RECEIVERS more than 70
per cent. 1t is stated that under all
sorts OF tests, running over many
months, the machine has demon
strated that it can cut the cost of
mining coal by half.
1t is said that with only twenty
men attending the machines, ten of
them can produce over 1000 tons of
coal day Electricity or compressed
air can be used, and so little power
is required that the cost of power is
less than one per cent ton for each
ton of coal mined.

weeks after the rye has ripened. They
should then be allowed to gather the
entire crop and to Craze upon the
young clover that has come up with
it.
Field No. is devoted entirely to
hog pasture. When clover and tim
othy are planted together, the hogs
Craze principally on the clover and
leave most of the timothy to be cut
for hay. In the five-year rotation, how
ever, field No. 5 is depended upon to
furnish the principal supply of hay for
the horses and cows. There should be
some surplus and this, of course, can
be sold. Late in the fall the field is
plowed for first year corn, and in the
following spring it takes its place in
the rotation as field No. 1.
Under such system hogs furnish
the principal income They are turned
in on the rye as early as possible in
the spring and there they remain as
long as the pasture is tender, al
though the brood sows should be
taken to other Enclosures as soon as
the spring pigs can be weaned, and
there bred for fall litters. Early in
May when the rye probably ceases to
afford good pasture the hogs are
turned into field No. 4, devoted to
first-year clover and timothy. With
the addition of a reasonably liberal
corn ration they feed on this until the
middle of July, or two weeks after the
rye has ripened, when they are turned
back into the rye field and allowed to
hog it all down without other feed. BY
the time the rye is harvested the corn
in field No. l is ready for the hogs.
If none of the stock is sold before, the
hogs will gather all the corn by No
vember l. In this way with practical
ly no labor and very little attention
the entire herd is furnished with pas
ture and grain feed throughout the
entire spring, summer and fall. In
addition, there is the corn from field
No. 2, which is harvested and not
hogged down, and the surplus hay
from fields No. and 5.
Under this system, the only time
when outside labor is indispensable is
during the hay harvest. On a farm of
hundred acres it is not probable that
this will amount. to more than ten
days hired labor, which is certainly
much less than is required by the sys-
TENS of farm management in more
general use. AS for the cash income,
it may be said that roughly speaking
rye ultimately brings the same re.
turns, whether it is hogged down or
cut and threshed and sold. In the
latter case, however, there is all the
cost of labor to be considered. To
save this, is the main object of the
system described.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The familiar practice of hogging off
crops has been developed by experts
In the United States department of
agriculture into a scientific system of
farm management which, it is said,
will minimize, in those sections and
those farms to which it is adapted,
the cost of harvest labor
Reduced to it's simplest terms this
system, which is described in full in
Farmers Bulletin No. GA, "a Corn
Belt System of Farming Which Saves
Harvest Labor by Hogging Down
Crops" consists of four or five-year
rotation of corn, corn, rye and a mix
ture of clover and timothy one or two
years. A farm managed on this sys-
tenn should consist of four or five
fields of from 20 to 40 acres each,
and it is desirable that all the fields
should be of approximately the same
size. Farms should be laid out in ac-
cordance with the following plan
l. Corn-First year to be hogged off
O. Corn-Second year to be cut and rye
sown.
g. Rye and Young Clover-Hogged off
and pastured.
T. Clover and Timothy-Hog pastured
g. Timothy and Clover-For hay or pas
ture
Above is plan of farm run on five
year rotation.
In field No the first year corn is
grown and hogged off as soon as it is
ripe. This is generally from Septem-
Der 1 to September 10. When the corn
is cultivated for the last time, it is
usually desirable to sow soy beans or
rape, in order that the hogs may have
pasturage while gathering the corn,
and also because such a crop supplies
valuable humus which can be turned
back into the soil In the following
spring this field is prepared for sec
ond-year corn and becomes field No. 2
In the Illustration.
Field No. 2 is, as we have seen. de-
voted to second year corn, which is
not hogged off but harvested by hand.
Here rye is sown in the fall. Under
favorable conditions this can be done
while the corn is still standing, but If
necessary it is not too late after the
corn has been cut and shocked. Rye
may be sown much later than wheat.
and this is one of it's great advantages
In rotation such as is now being de-
scribed.
Field No. is devoted to rye
throughout the entire season. In the
spring it is pastured by the hogs as
long as it is palatable, affording excel
lent pasturage, especially for young
hogs and brood sows. When the rye
becomes tough and the hogs cease to
relish 1t, they should be removed and
not returned to the field until two

wall, burst through 1t. and came out
on the other side safe, and evidently
very proud of his exploit. Women
