which the administration proposes,
on the theory that if we are to main

other countries, we as nation must

especially since some of the nations
disregard their treaty relations when
it is to their advantage to do so.

CARING FOR SWINE
IN COLD WEATHER
Good Time to Fan Forage Crops
for Next Summer-Feeding
Floor Is Urged.

A full diet of corn without plenty
of water will quickly put the soundest
hogs to the bad.
Many people imagine that If they
give the pigs plenty of skim milk
they do not need water. Milk changes
to solid food almost the moment 1t
enters the pigs stomach and Is, there
fore, not substitute for water.
1t costs nothing to soak hard grain
in water, warm water, and when fed to
pigs its digestibility is increased
It is a prevalent notion that hogs
cannot thrive except they have mud
hole in which to wallow. Nonsense!
Pigs thrive better on clean pasture.
clean floors and clean water than they
do in dirty surroundings.
During these cold days lay out a
plan for forage crops next summer.
Hogs suffer from lack of pasture in
the late summer as well as dairy cows.
Oats make fine ration for hogs, but
as rule they are too expensive.
Fed to sows just after narrowing,
oats cannot be surpassed for keeping
them in good condition
A feeding floor will save itself in
feed and manure in single year, pro-
vided it is made of waste material
around the farm.
Brick makes fairly good feeding
floor, but to be effective requires a
deep foundation of broken stone, sand
and cinders, and this is expensive.
A chilled pig may be revived by
plunging him into tub of warm wa
ter, Just as lamb may be.
Strange how some farmers seem to
imagine that their helpless young ami
mails can take care of themselves un
der the most adverse circumstances.
With such men, youngsters may live
II they can, as nothing is ever done to,
keep them from dying.
The large blacks are remarkable for
ayers. They pick up half; their living
in the grass and, the stubble fields IN
the summer, or they may be largely
fed on green stuffs in the yards when
showed, along. i
Breeding sows never do SO well as
when allowed t. take their runs
abroad, and come home at night. That
A SO for six, 4 the year.

mot HARD TO FIND
MANY LITTLE JOBS
Good Time to Lay Out Plans for
Next Seasons Work-Keep
Stock Comfortable.

Is next summers wood pile growing
these days.
Mighty comfortable to sit around
the stove and roast our shins these
cold days, but our neighbor who does
his planning at this time is pretty sure
to beat us out on next years crops. He
manages to keep warm while he is fig
uring, and in this way adds to his
bank account
Tear out the entire south side of the
chicken coop, If necessary, for perfect
ventilation, but stop every crack near
the floor.
Whitewash can be nut on the poul-
try house and hog pens even in very
cold weather, provided it is mixed with
boiling water.
Many good dollars fly out through
the cracks of the hog house during the
cold winter nights.
Don't overlook the fact that pigs
will become lousy in cold weather as
we'll as in hct weather. Often 1t seems
as though vermin thrive better when
the weather Is cold.
Good time now to build dipping
tank for the pigs, and a dip trough for
the sheep.
Mighty pleasant to see q thoroughly
clean horse barn in the dead of win
ter.
When the ground is frozen solid is
the time to run the manure spreader.
No matter how cold it may be out
side, if the fruit in the cellar has
started to rot in the warmth, 1t will
require prompt attention.
Once a month is not too. often to
look over all the fruit and vegetables
stored for winter. Don't let decay get
the start of you.

Poor Methods at Fault.

What we need today is better farm
ing, better system of rotation and
more land in grass. Under such man.
agement we can put stock raising on
a money making basis and gradually
build up our soils. The great trouble
today is net that of poor land so much
as it Is poor methods of soil handling.
Much of the trouble is due to the fact
that we do not measure up to the pres
ent-day requirements as farmers.

HAD VACATION

Harry Murray. superintendent Of the
water and sewer works department,
who was reported to have suddenly
started on vacation on Maui follow
ing his mysterious" departure on the
Manna Loa Friday night, denied to-
day that he intends to take yaca-
ton.
"A yacation?" he said. what is a
vacation? I've never had one. and
don't intend to have one. Ben Hol-
linger. our erstwhile supervisor, and
myself slipped out quietly Friday
night to Maui to take look at the
water wheels at the Pioneer mill.
Murray is right admitted Holm
ger today. We got back yesterday

the lighting department has recon-
mended the Pelton-Dcble wheel and
argued for open competition. The Pho

highly recommended the former wheel
in preference to Frazee's choice"

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS

Not yet do housekeepers realize the
wonderful labor saving appliances
ready to their hand, appliances. that
virtually solve the vexing servant
problem which harnesses every house
keeper nowadays whether she pays
wages to one. two or half q dozen do
mestics.
These labor saving appliances are
the various electric devices which
make nothing at all of the hitherto
burdensome household tasks, and in
home equipped with modern electric
appliances one maid can do the work
for. a family of eight with ease. OF
course, the electric contraptions cost
good deal to install, but their initial
cost will be well paid for in the saw
ing of time and wages throughout
many years thereafter.
The electric washing machine In
the kitchen washes the household lin
en- and even sheer, delicate personal
finery in quick time and perfect man
ner. Meanwhile the cook may be at.
tending to her baking, or, Ii she is
also general maid, may be sweeping
out parlors and hall. In the afternoon
the electric mangle and flatirons will
make short work of finishing the laun-
dry process, and an extra woman may
be had in for a half day to take this
work off the general maids hands.
Electricity also helps the cook to
prepare the meals with special meat
choppers, bread, cake and mayonnaise
mixers, nut grinders, cream whips,
fitfod kcotionnanc and nf,fS for one gas
burner, and slicers that cut twenty
slices of bread in half minute. Their
mos bottles will keep sauces piping
hot for hours, and cocktails Ice cold,
so that in preparing large dinner
everything will not have to be rushed
at the last minute.

the embroidered Swiss flouncing with

TO CLEANSE FEATHERS.

Dip them in jar OF gasoline and
leave them there for q few minutes;
then remove and rub them with a
cloth. This will usually make the
feathers come out beautifully white.
Another way to treat feathers is to
rub them thoroughly with magnesia
or French chalk and wrap in tissue
paper and lay aside for several days,
rubbing gently with magnesia each
day. At the end OF four or five days
time they should be quite clean.
