very satisfactory, but II you get such
combination as high-priced oats it
would be foolish to advocate them, es-
pecially when we have to purchase
our feed.
During the winter months in a root
growing country l believe roots are
good food, and should compose large
proportion of the ration, and be-
lieve in boiling the roots and feeding
some grain
Do not load them up with a great
lot of water; feed the roots in rather
thick batter, and mix in your shorts
and middlings and whatever grain
you might happen to have. For the
larger pigs pulp the roots and feed the
meal sprinkled on. In section
where winters are cold, it is we'll to
take the chill off the food, and always
see that the pigs clean the troughs up
and do not leave any material in
them.
A great many people make the mis-
take of having food left in the troughs.
Pay particular attention to cleanli.
ness, have dry beds and give them dry
straw to lie on. The bedding should
be changed often.
In the winter months give them
wood ashes and charcoal and sod or
earth of some kind. Earth seems to
be absolutely necessary to keep the
digestive organs in good condition.
Milk is one of the best things for a
pig. Nothing lengthens them out like
milk, If properly handled.

Cash collected from Inheritance tax
helped state officials to get their sal
airy warrants cashed at par. The Of
flee of the attorney general turned IN
S12,602 in cash collected in Inheritance
tax. The settlements of Independ-
ence and St Francis counties collec-
tors are expected any time and are
looked forward to by the statehouse
employees who did not get their war
rants cashed from the inheritance tax
money, which goes into the general
revenue fund.
One item in the large amount OF in
heritance tax paid in amounted to So
100. 1t was from the estate OF the
late Samuel Mcleod of Sebastian
county. Warrants aggregating be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 were issued,
thus blocking the last efforts to the
states general revenue fund to get
out of debt this year State warrants
during the last few months have been
selling practically at par. 1t is certain
that their value will diminish to an
extent between now and next spring,
when sheriffs again will begin to make
their settlements.

ONE MAY PREVENT
BLOAT IN CATTLE
Avoid Rank Grass and Wet Green
Clover or Alfalfa-Some
Precautions.

(By DIR. A. s. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin
Experiment Station)
Rank grass and wet, green clover or
alfalfa are likely to cause bloat in
cattle. Bloat may be avoided il right
precautions are taken. Here are q
few Of them:
Gradually change cows from winter
grain and hay rations to fresh pas
lures and meadows.
Prevent indigestions. because indi-
gestion is the direct cause of bloat.
Feed cows their usual ration of dry
hay and grain before turning them
out to pasture.
Keep cows off clover and alfalfa
fields until dew or rain has dried OF
and never turn them on such fields In
moisture-laden, "muggy" days.
Give cattle access to mixture Of
salt and Stacked lime.
Visit pastures frequently In early
summer. and. II possible. take along
proper remedies and instruments for
relieving bad cases of bloat
