PLEA FOR THE CHILD.

(From Address by FATHER PATRICK
MURPHY of Texas.)
I contend tonight that there are
helpless children whose little bodies
are crying out for nourishment-the
food they need-and yet the mother
cannot cook it for them because that
bunch got all the money first! The
little child is crying. I'll tell you. and
am sure any doctors in the audi
ence will bear me out, when a child
in the poorer homes is not properly
nourished, its pain is not in the stom-
aoh alone; there Is not blood cell
in its little body that is not suffering.
maintain that you men who are
going to vote wet, should think of
this: There is not blood cell in
the child's body that is not crying out
to your God against you.
In your city there are little wasted
hands raised up in pleading. You will
find them in the homes of your drunk
ards. You will see the faces Of the
little ones, thin, emaciated and telling
pathetically of their hungry bodies.
These little children are praying that
you will decide a great question re-
CARELESS of what you seem to lose
by it.

LEG WEAKNESS IN TURKEYS
Trouble Is Generally Caused by Over
feeding of Fattenng Foods and
Lack of Exercise.

(By PROF. F. w. KAZMEIER, Texas
Agricultural College.)
Leg weakness in young turkeys Ia
generally caused by overlooking of
very fattening foods and lack of exer.
else. Quite frequently it is also caused
by the old turkey making them walk
too much, causing them to tire in
their legs. 1t is also caused some,
times by their roosting on cold. damp
ground, thus causing Inflammation OF
the joints, which may develop rheus
matism. A proper remedy would OF
course, be to remove the cause. Feed
the young turkeys rather sparingly on
good food, not too much at a time.
Feed more pinhead wheat and oat.
meal Feed a little at a time and
often. Do not overfeed. II the old
turkey hen is kind that travels too
far with the birds, prevent this as
much as you can by yarding. Raise
your turkeys on fresh ground each
year. Provide good. clean dry quar-
tiers for them at night.

The COW testing association Is
plan of cooperation among dairymen
for the purpose of regularly and eco
nomically testing their cows for pro-
duction of milk and butterfat. A
usual estimate places the average
production of COWS at ITS pounds OF
butter per COW per year. In these
days people who are familiar with
dairying think In terms of butterfat,
and if the above average be translated
to fat 1t makes about $50 pounds. AL
30 cents pound, which has been the
the annual income per COW is $45.00.
If the above figures are taken as a
foundation, 1t is very apparent that
there are many cows which are not
paying the cost of their keeping. The
use of the scales and the Babcock test
has discovered in almost every herd
tested some cows that do not pay the
cost of keeping. If dairying is to be
made as profitable a business as 1t
ought to be and as 1t has a right to
be under proper management, these
robber COWS must be apprehended.
There is no means of knowing what
COW is producing without weighing
and testing her milk at regular inter
walls. A dairyman selling milk by
volume may not be concerned in the
butterfat content further than is ne
cessary to keep up to legal standard,
but one who is selling butterfat is
vitality concerned in the amount each
COW produces. Each dairyman may test
his own cows, but facing the condition
squarely 1t Is known that very few do.
At recent dairyman's meeting this
point was raised-that testing asso-
citation was not necessary, because
each man could test his own cows.
The question was then asked: How

WEAVING LITTLE PIGS
MAY Be Done at Eight Weeks OF
Age When Desired.
Sow Two Years ,OId Should Produce
Two Litters Yearly Without Any
TroubIe-Give Feeds Condu-
Give to Best MIX Flow.

BY JOHN c. BURNS. Texas Expert
ment Station)
AS a general rule, we find it adyis-
able to wean pigs at about ten weeks
of age. In the case of the especially
thrifty, well-developed pigs, and
when 1t is desired to breed the SOW
as early as possible again, pigs may
be weaned at eight weeks old with
good results. AS a rule, we do not
consider it advisable to have a SOW
farrow before she is twelve months
old. Or, in other words. it is gen.
orally considered best not to breed
them until they are between eight
and nine months old. Breeding too
early often has the tendency to check
the growth of the gilt and sometimes
she effects are permanent.
Fourteen or fifteen hours labor IN
bringing pigs is longer than ordinary,
and would naturally be weakening on
young gilt. After weaving the litter
your gilt has, l would advise not
breeding her until she is about fifteen
or sixteen months old. She would thus

grow some and would bring you
a better litter. After reaching two
years old any brood SOW should bring
two litters without any trouble.
Turnips, mangel-wurzels and all
such succulent feeds are good for
sows sucking pigs, as they are con
ducive to good milk flow. Whip-poor-
will peas have good results as for
age crop for all kinds of hogs, and
especially brood sows and growing
pigs. Ordinarily it is best to let hogs
Craze them and thus save the labor
of harvesting. 1t is best to Craze
the peas when the fruit is fully devel
oped. but the vines still green. as in
this case much of the vines as well as
the peas will be consumed.
Rather than to feed straight corn
1t would be best for you to dispose OF
some of it at one dollar per bushel
and in return get wheat shorts. Good
rich gray wheat shorts are costing
here at retail about $1.25 per 1O0
pounds. Equal parts of corn and
wheat shorts will give very well bal
anced ration. About the only advan
tage in having corn ground for hogs
is that 1t can more readily be mixed

Quality is the keynote to the sue
cessful marketing of dairy products
People always have and always will
pay a premium for quality, therefore
it is useless to expect to market dairy
products successfully unless those
products are of better quality than the
average. Unfortunately it often hap
pens that producers of good dairy
produce do not always find a good
market, but this does not signify that
there Is not demand for the product
at good price, but simply means a
lack of business ability on the part of
the farmer in securing good market.

In this day of the parcel post even

distances for few cents, making 1t
possible to sell such products as but

OF people in our towns and cities who
would be only too glad to get dairy

The object of COW testing assocla'

about one dollar per COW.
The tester weighs and samples the
milk of each COW at the evening and
morning milking and tests the com
bined sample for butterfat Before
leaving. he makes calculations so that
he may leave with the dairyman the
record of each COW down to date
In European countries and some OF
the states in this country, one of the
duties of tester is to weigh and keep
record of food consumed by the
cows. The cost to the dairyman for
complete testing varies from so cents
to $3.50 year for each COW. This
variation is due to the number of
cows in the associations and to the
size of individual herds.
The first association in the United
States was organized at Fremont,
Mich, in 1905. This association had
81 members, and 239 cows completed
the first years test. Since that time
similar associations have been organ
lied in practically all Of the leading
dairy states of the Union, to the great
advantage of dairymen everywhere.

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.

Major Dan Morgan Smith was for
four years general counsel for the
liquor organization known as the
Model License league. The following
paragraphs from an address of his
shows why he threw UP that position
and is now, speaking and working for
prohibition.
For four years / advocated the pas
sage of model license law as a
means of lessening the evils of drink.
AS the head of the law department of
one of the three largest liquor asso-
Citations in America, maintained that
its passage would take the liquor
dealers out of politics and the law
breakers out of the liquor business.
know, for the liquor crowd were pay
ing me to talk reform and paying 9TH
ers to defeat reform!
"The model license law was effec-
tive as a vete-getter, but it never
cleaned out one dive, never effected
one reform, for. although advocated in
every fight against prohibition in the
last six years, 1t has never been en-
acted in any place. Its advocacy has
fooled more decent people into voting
with the liquor crowd than all the spe-
cious nonsense about taxes and per-
sonal liberty put together. Can we
expect laws from the liquor camp
that will eliminate the dive, or lessen
drunkenness or stop the sale of liquor
to minors? Can we expect brewery
agents to pass laws that will take
away the license Of brewery-cwned
saloons? Can we expect legislators,
nominated and elected by the brewery
interests, to pass Laws that will take
the liquor business out of politics?
No. the only thing we can expect from
the liquor people is just what we have
received in the past-lying promises.

among the further gratifying results

HERE TO STAY.

The following is quoted from letter
written by Senator Moses E. Clapp OF
Minnesota to George w. Perkins, chair
man of the Progressive national com.
mittee: 1.-THE prohibition movement to-
day differs from that movement in
other times. When you and l were
boys, every spring there was seen a
temperance agitation and everybody
took the pledge. Some kept 1t and
some did not. The present movement
is entirely different. There is no hys-
terra or excitement about it. 1t is
simply a calm, deliberate judgment on
the part of the American people, from
the man who employatc the man who
is employed, that the saloon is a men
ace. Having come in this quiet way,
free from hysteria and excitement. and
as a result of deliberate judgment, /
am inclined to think it is here to stay,
and If times are good, is liable to be
more of a factor than we sometimes
suppose"

ly one who is taking his chances of

the end of his journey. He looks va

finds 1t impossible to fight off the
downcasting shadows that loom up
before him.
Strangers are kinder than ones own

away from homAbefore and tells of his
earnest intention to pave his way

Ere the journey is over, the young
man has received good sound advice,
which is worth kings ransom to him
as he goes along, the rough places he
must climb, the temptations he must
face. In the turmoil of his busy days
and tiresome nights, he feels able to
write only few lines back to the old
folk and dear little brothers and sis
tiers, now and then. But his idle mo-
ments ere ever dwelling on them as he
pictures the old familiar scenes, the

loving letter, Enclosing her intended's
picture. Her last lines are that he is
welcome home and that his mother,
who is failing, hopes daily that her
wandering boy will soon come home,
il only for little while.
He packs up his belongings, quicker
than 1t takes to tell and speeding back
with a light heart, forgetful of his
trials and inconsistencies, he shouts his
own welcome home as he rushes
across the threshold, smiles amid his
tears and is att his best in the bosom
