After consultation with the clearing

was thought best that a receiver be ap-

The failure of the bank was due entirely
to the depreciation of securities held by
the bank in various corporations. Owing
to the failure Of J. S. and w. S. Kuhn,
Ire, in 1918, there was a large de-
probation in the market value of secur-
tiles of certain institutions, but it was
hoped that these companies would soon
be rehabilitated and the securities again
attain their former value. Through the

FEED C0TT0NSEED TO HOGS
Hoard's Dairyman Says No Uniformly
Successful Method of Feeding
Has Yet Been Found.

In response to the query What ex-
perience have you had in feeding
cooked cottonseed to hogs and young
pigs?" Hoard's Dairyman makes the
following reply:
We have had no experience in feed
ing cooked cottonseed, nor do we re-
call any experimentation along this
line. No uniformly successful method
of feeding cottonseed or cottonseed
meal to swine has yet been found. The
poisonous effect of cottonseed meal is
said to be due to its content of pyro-
phosphoric acid, which is developed
when the seed is subjected to great
heat. Reasoning along this line we
would be inclined to believe that
cooked cottonseed would not prove a
safe feed for pigs. However, the
Louisiana station states that its ex-
periments do not uphold this theory,
and that the poisonous effect Of the
cottonseed is due to some other factor
whose virulence is decreased by heat
ing. The seed is held to be more polk
onous than the meal. 1t is probably
safe to feed cottonseed meal when it
does not constitute more than one
fifth to quarter of the grain ration
and is fed at this rate for not more
than thirty days.

BEST RATION FOR THE PIGS
Economical to Make Use of All Avail
able Skim Milk-Furnishes
Necessary Protein.

In making up a ration for pigs, it is
economy to make the best use of the
skim milk available. Experiments
have proved Conclusively that where
sufficient skim milk is available to
furnish the protein content of the
ration to balance up corn, it is not
necessary for good economy to feed
any kind of high protein concentrates
to growing pigs.
The proper proportion in which to
feed skim milk and corn for the best
results, Is from one to three pounds
of the skim milk to one pound Of corn
meal, using the larger proportion of
milk when the pigs are young, and
gradually increasing the amount of
corn meal in proportion to milk used.
For young pigs, the ration will be
very materially benefited by the ad-
dition of c liberal portion of middlings,

GOOD
IEXPENSE OF CRAWLING ROAD
Problem of Crawling Highways at
Moderate Cost Solved by Commits
sioner Rheinhardt of Idaho.

Evidently Otto Rheinhardt, commits
sioner of the Nampa highway district,
Canyon county, Idaho, has solved the
problem of graveling the highways at
moderate cost, writes E. F. Stephens
in Denver Field and Farm. Three
years ago he decided to gravel the dis
trict's share of the boulevard between
Nampa and Caldwell. A half mile
away, Indian creek runs parallel with
this boulevard and there an abundant
supply of gravel was procured. Fortu-
nately the very heavy traffic incident
to hauling rails and ties for the In
terurban electric line track cut through
the gravel, mixing the underlying soil
with the superimposed gravel in suit
able proportions for cementing a firm,
smooth roadbed. A percentage Of clay
smooth or volcanic ash soil mixed with
gravel makes hard, smooth roadbed
not likely to absorb the rainfall. The
result on the boulevard has been to
secure a very serviceable roadbed
highly commended by local and United
States engineers.
Under the inspiration Of this sue
cessful roadbed neighborhood lying

TREATING HORSE FOR THRUSH
Hoof Should Be Trimmed Properly,
Diseased Parts Removed and
Strong DisInfectant Applied.
(By M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)

(By M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Thrush in horses feet is frequently
caused by standing in filth, This
changes the texture Of the hoof and
infection follows. Continuous stand
ing on very dry floors may also cause
this trouble, while in some cases 1t Is
apparently caused by contraction
Of the hoof.
When the horse Is shod with high
heel and toe calks or the wall Of the
hoof is allowed to grow very long and
the horse stands on hard floor so that
there Is no pressure on the frog OF
the foot, the condition Of the frog is
impaired and it becomes subject to
infection and disease, Cases Of thrush
need dry, clean stall.
Trim the hoof properly, remove the
diseased parts and apply strong dis
infectant over the sole Of the foot.
Any of the coal tar disinfectants may
be used full strength. Pure carbolic
acid may be used, care being taken
that it does not run down the heel and
burn the skin.
After the first strong disinfectant
calomel should be busted over the dis,
eased surface and some thick clay ap.
piled to the entire sole.

SUBsOILING MAY BE HARMFUL
Increase in Yield Does Not Pay for
Work Done-Bad Practice to
Advocate, Sayo Expert.
By o. o. CHURCHILL, Oklahoma Ex-
Deriment Station

(By o. o. CHURCHILL, Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The practice of subsoiling Is receiv-
ing a good many notices in the press
at this time. It Is advocated par
ticularly on tight soils and under
drought conditions.
A good many of the stations in DIFF
ferent parts cf the United States have
conducted many experiments to deter
mine the benefit derived from this
practice. Very seldom, If ever, does
the increase in yield pay for the
work done, and we, therefore, advise
against subsoiling under most condi-
tions. In some cases subsoiling may
even be harmful.
We have been unable to find any rec
ords indicating that subsoiling will
pay. It seems to us, therefore, to be
bad practice to advocate, even If
in theory it does sound well.
Subsoiling is usually performed by
an implement made of a straight blade
with shoe on the bottom. This i'm
plement is run in the bottom of the
furrow and follows Immediately after
an ordinary pillow. 1t does not turn
the soil, but merely loosens it. 1t
takes as much power to pull the
subsoil plow as it does an ordinary
pillow.

WHEN A MAN MARRIES
is HE SUPPOSED TO EsPOUSE
ENTIRE FAMILY?
Consensus of Cases Seems to Show
That He Actually Marries His
Wife and All Her Relatives
How 1t Works.

"Does a man marry his wife's fam
ily?" He claims he doesn't. But a
prominent society woman declared not
long ago that he does, no matter what
he thinks about it, and more recently
prominent college professor made
the same statement.
Looking around among ones &C
quaintances, for evidence, it is pref
ty general fact that the wifes family
is more in evidence than the hus-
bands. One hears more Of the Wife's
kin, and the children seem to be bet
ter acquainted with relatives on the
maternal side.
When mothers relatives come avis
iting they are made much Of and Civ
en- the run of the house. If any of IA
theirs relatives have the temerity to
invite themselves for an extended WIS.,
it there is a chill in the home at
mosphere and nobody acts natural
least of all father, who is made to feel
that he is imposing upon the good ma
ture of his overworked spouse.
The wife's relatives feel that it is
not only their right but their bounden
duty to butt in, no matter what the
circumstances. And usually the butt
in is accepted meekly and endured
more or less amiably by the entire
family. Any husband who is gen.
tleman will do his kicking away from
home, or, if he cannot contain himself
at the moment, 60 down and poke the
furnace and commune with the cat.
And yet, on the whole, the wife's
relatives seldom DO the amount OF
damage that husbands relatives can
do, once they determine to make
themselves felt.
When husbands mother decides
that his children are not being
brought up right, or that his wife is
extravagant or poor housekeeper,
ETC., and that her interference is nee
essary, real trouble stars. not only
for the mans wife but even more so
for the man himself His mother-in-
law would never dare to attempt what
his own mother will do to him.
The wife may have a neer-do-Wen
brother who occasionally comes and
camps upon her hospitality. But II
the husband has such brother, nine
times in ten the brother has married
and expects his more prosperous rela-
tives to support wife and numerous
progeny.
AS for fathers-in-law on both sides
they don't count appreciably. By
the time man becomes a father-in-
law he has been SO we'll trained into
his proper sphere that he wisely re-
fuses to mix In any kind of family az
fairs that do not concern his finances.
Anyway, there is usually a chord OF
sympathetic understanding between a
man and his father-in-law, while every
wife knows the wiles that will bind
her father-in.law to her for ever and

How Doctor Abbott Prepares Sermon

TOW DOCLOI NbbSte E'SPea'SS ~S'''S'''
My method of preparation for any

Next consider what thoughts and
what organization Of those thoughts

logical, so that the last thoughts will
