RIGHT PASTURE FOR SWINE
Feed for Twenty-Five Head to
Acre, Says Mumfcrd.
(By DEAN MUMFoRD. Missouri Elk.
pertinent S.atioa)

(By DEAN MuMFORD. Missouri Ex
pertinent Statioa.)
A good growth of rape will supply
pasture for ten to twenty hogs to the
acre. A very rank growth may supply
feed for 25 head. Where the feeding
is to extend from ten to fourteen
weeks it is advisable to pasture rape
at the rate OF ten to twelve head to
the acre.
The favorable time fol, seeding rape
is in the spring, as soon as danger of
hard freezing is past. 1t will furnish
pasture from the middle of May until
the third week in August. Rape will
withstand light frosts, but not hard
freezing. The best results are obtained
when oats and clover are sown with it,
SOW from five to seven pounds of rape
ahead OF the drill and then drill in one
half bushel of oats and six to ten
pounds of clover seed to the acre. The
rape and oats will serve as a cover
crop for the clover and usually good
stand OF clover will be obtained that
may be pastured with hogs the fol-
lowing year
If rape is not grazed too closely in
June and July. so that the stalk of the
plant is eaten off, it may grow up and
make fall pasture. 1t should never be
pastured SO closely as to destroy all
leaves on the stalk. and stock should
not be turned on until the plants are
from fourteen to eighteen inches high
Complaint is sometimes made by
feeders that scabs and cores form on
the ears and backs of the hogs on
rape. The remedy is to move the hogs
to another pasture for a short time
and then dip them or apply sulphur
and lard to the sores.

ovERFEEDING IS A MISTAKE
Beginners Especially Are Liable to
Make This Error With PulIets-
Wheat Is Good Feed.

Those who are having their first ex.
perience with flock of pullets of
considerable size should remember
that the birds. having been brought
up on the range during the summer
are more impatient of restraint than
the older birds. Hence. 1t is essential
that they be handled so they will OBJ
tain the maximum amount of exercise
iE the winter quarters. Probably this
Is better done by some intelligent
care in feeding than in any other way
Let the pullet have one good meal dur
ing the day, arranging this at any
period which seems best after expert
menting; for the rest of the day keep
her busy by frequently scattering
small quantities of grain among the
chaf on the floor or in the yard IL the
weather is sufficiently open.
Manage 1t SO that each pullet will
be fairly well fed during the day;
there is little danger of overfeeding
by this plan, so that care must be
taken that they have enough. Fur.
nishing exercise in this manner gives
the best possible results for the pullets

when they could not be induced to do

WHY A DOG wAGs Irs TAIL
italian Scientist Declares Animal Per

Why does a dog wag its tail? No.
this isn't Foolish Question 41144 Far

lem whict has been given long, care
full, scientific investigation. and which
is now submitted to us with answe er

tells us that the dog wags it's tall foy
conversational purposes-an0 II this
is true, we all know dogs that are
great conversationalists, don't we!
Professor Renato says great injustice
has been done in the past by scien
lists in not giving animals tails pro
found study sooner. The tail, ne sol
emnly pointed out, from the stand
point of antiquity, is much older than
other organs of the various animals
and therefore entitled to be investi

says, that in the gradual development
of animal life the tail was perform
ing various important functions and
working like a Trojan possibly cen

to dream that it might also be nice tc
have paws, or jaws or legs. He hopes
his present exhaustive and profound
treatment of the subject will sort OF
square matters with the animals, or
rather with their tails, on behalf OF
past neglectful scientists generally
And yet. in spite of the arguments OF
Professor Renato, some of us will con
tinue to exhibit far more interest in
the dental development and prof

FAITH IN WILSON

Congress has shown the confidence

those who are at the head of our ma
tional affairs, when they adjourned
and left the adjusting OF all interna-
tional questions to President Wilson
and his cabinet With half the world
at war, and this country acting as a
neutral powef, many delicate ques-
tions will arise that will require calm
and deliberate judgem ent, to sail our
ship of state safely through the tur-
bulent and troubled waters. Congress
and the 100 100000 people of the
most enlightened land on earth, have
signified willingness to leave all
delicate matters that may arise, to
the enc upon whose integrity and cap
abilities We can rely. Not since the
days when 1.-The father of our coun-
try received the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown have we been
SO united, to trust great questions
to the ability of one master mind up
on whom We can rely with the same
feeling of safety that God-fearing
mother has fer tie rearing of her
daughter
When congress adjourned the Mex
ican embroglio has assumed its Sec
ondary stage, and notwithstanding
that war seemed imminent, this band
of national statesman who had often
weighed the president in the balance
and never found wanting, were
all calmly resigned to trust the des-
TIMES of the country into his hands,
and deal with that most unfortunate
nation on terms that would reflect
credit upon both nations. Wilson has
been assigned to single handed and
alone, lead the nation safely through
all the intricate diplomatic avenues
that may arise, and with clean hands
will we emerge as the greatest peace
nation of the earth

TREASON IN THE CITADEL

Wood of the American Woolen Com

Here is treason within the very
citadel of protection" The facts, of
course, are that the wool growers
have been ruined by the Democratic
free-wool tariff, as they said they

junk under an avalanche of pauper
imports, as it was said they would
be doing.
This detection cf a whole army
