Hogs for Home Butshsring

Select and begin to feed now
and kill late III December. N
Crisp, frosty mornings warn us
that hog-killing time is coming.
The farmer is entitled to the
best pork that can be produced.
1t is better not to wait until the
animals are fat but to select q
few at once and feed them espe-
cially for home butchering. They
should have some muscle building
material in, addition to the corn
80 as to get q proper mixture Of
lean and fat meat. Oil meal,
shorts, and tankage are very good
to add to corn and wheat may
well form part Of the feed, espe-
cially this year when there is SO
much field-damaged grain on
hand.
Select hogs that combine as
many as possible Of the good
points Of bacon and lard breeds
50 that there will be reasonably
good sides as we'll as hams and
shoulders when the carcasses are
cut up. Keep the animals select
ed growing rapidly but do not
let them get too fat, in order to
get the most desirable ham and
bacon cuts. even though this
method does not bring as much
lard.
One or two hogs may be killed
whenever meat is wanted for i'm
mediate use but the main supply
for the year should not be killed
until late in December. Before
that time there is too much dan
ger from the warm weather which
causes so much loss of meat ev-
cry year. Watch the weather
forecast and make special provis-
ion if you know a warm spell is
coming.
Kill more hogs than you need
for your own use so that you will
have some country-cured meat to
sell. Many people will buy it in
preference to anything else, es-
pecially if you establish a reputa-
ton in this line. If you live i'll

Noting Hens.

"The Missouri Hen needs eX-
ira feed and care during mott
ing" says H. l.. Kempster, pro
lessor of poultry husbandry OF
the Missouri College Of Agricul,
ture. As she rarely lays at this
time the feeder is likely to feel
that less grain is needed but on
account of the greater exposure
to cold more feed is necessary to
supply the hens fuel needs. Then
too, the work of producing a new
coat of feathers is great drain
on the birds vitality as heavy
egg production, perhaps greater.
Feed literally on a ration con-
tanning more grain than usual
and be sure that plenty of. sour
milk is available as it contains
the materials used in making fea-
theirs. Beef scrap and oil meal
may also be fed if available and
a lump of copperas, (iron sui
phate) as large as hickory nut,
should be put into the drinking
water each day. Keep the hens
as comfortable as possible for a
little extra care may mean q good
supply Of eggs for sale at high
prices later. Y

CAN BUY GERMAN
 VESSELS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Prosl- dent has authorized complete de- nial of the statements of Republican Senators that Great Britain has pro tested against the sale Of German ships to tho United States for use by this government
 The statement of the President is being used in support of the ship-pur- chase bill It is pointed out that the purchase of the German ships that are lntened in American and other neu- tral ports would immediately add lm- mensely to the carrying tonnage that Is now so greatly inadequate to the needs Since the war began, 1,500 yes sells of approximately 9,000000 tons carrying capacity have been with drawn from use or been destroyed Az result charter rates have been ad- yanced from three-fold up to as high as 10-fold the rates obtaining before the war and that this condition has resulted ln loss to American export ers who cannot deliver their products.
 The German ships that are interned in the United States can now be pur- chased at a bargain. This is so not only because their owners, who are British. French. Russian and Ameri- can. as well as German. need the mon. ey that they could secure for them, but each ship Is now an item of large expense for dockage and o.her care.

-. Al.er Road. chean.

That Secretary Of tho Interior Frank lin K. Lane desires to acquire both tho Alaska Northern railroad and the Copper River and Northwestern rail- road but that he wants to get them cheap is the conviction of Ashmun Brown. the Washington correspondent Of the Seattle PostInteligencer. as the following telegTaphic cogrespon. dence indicates.
 Washington. Jan 25-To one observ- Ing closely the developments in the Al- aska railroad situation rom day to day it becomes apparent that Secre- tary Lane is mGneuvering to get the government iu a position where lt will not pay moro thau bargaip.counter prices for the existing railroads in A. aslza. ii it determiae io 6uy them. and it seems much or the notion Of buy ing.
 That the Copper River G North western will be taken over in some manner seems certain. J. p. Morgan fn his various interviews with the sec. retary has shown qul,e plainly that he IS more intent on selliug than getting biz price. The governmen0 it IS quite certain. will not charge Che Alas ka syndicate more for hauling ore from the Bonanza mine to Cordova than the syndicate now charges itself through the railroad. for the same ser vico. and tonnage charges seem to be the essential thing.
 Alaska Northern Different
 But the situation as to tho Alaska Northern road is quite different.
 Secretary Lane is much less com munlcative in regard 90 the Seward road than In regard 10 the Cordova road. Everything points Co ihe fact that he has been reading D7via Harum and applying some Of the lessons to be found therein to his dickering with the Canadian bondholdeTs who are making the offers.
 It appears that when the Canadians talk to him about the advantages of the Alaska Northern to the govern ment. he begins to talk about the mag nidcent opportunity to set shor, mile age from the Matanuska coal held by building from Portage bay. And yet it is believed that he wants the Alas ka Northern, but only if he can get 1t cheap. Also he is said to be relying much on that clause in the railroad law which provides that the govern ment may condemn existing railroads.
