hog pastures one must not forget the
very important factor Of providing
good. pure water for them. In Sec
tions where running water cannot be
secured through pipes. it can be
hauled in barrels. Many hog raisers

which barrel is fastened on a water
tight floor with sides to it so that the
pigs can drink all around the barrel.

through small hole, which automat-
ically flows according to the water
consumed.
Running streams of water are very
satisfactory when they originate on
the farm. but IL they travel long dis.
tances and through several farms and
across public roads, they are very
likely to be contaminated and may
spread diseases such as anthrax, and
hog cholera. Keeping hogs healthy is
much more important than trying to
cure them when sick.

To be a successful hog raiser one
must keep his stock under the very
best environment possible. Do not
think any old thing or place Is good
enough for q hog. He should have
access to good clean water to drink
at all times. and not stale pond water
or mud wallows. Clean, pure water
will do more toward keeping hogs
healthy than any other one thing.
The hog has peculiar skin. and under
the skin is thick pad Of fat. so that
he must get rid of his heat mostly
from his lungs by breathing. In hot
weather he needs some cool place to
lie in, and If he can find mud he wal

the best substitute. Shade is very es-
sential in warm weather.
Buildings for hogs need not be very

ID National campaign, unique in charac-
ter and far-reaching in results as it
affects the general prosperity of the country,
which has been inaugurated for the purpose
of inducing purchases Of goods now which
must, Of necessity, be bought in the Spring
months.
The campaign is general in its requests
and is directed to every one. Especial at
tention, however, is being directed to the
purchase of heavy merchandise, such as farm
machinery, building materials and other
things which are usually bought during the
Spring.
By buying now that which must be bought
later general business activity will be ma
terially increased and everyone will feel the
beneficial effects Jobbing houses will be
working under full force and factories will
be working full time with full help. In this
way many men who are now out OF work
will be given employment and many families
who are in need of the actual necessities
Of life will be provided for.
The campaign does not suggest indis
criminate or unnecessary buying. But it does
suggest economic buying and insists upon
buying now things that must be bought later.
The campaign should meet with especial
favor from the farmers Of the United States.
Government Statistics just issued, show that
the farmers are more prosperous today than
they have ever been--the 1914 output from
farms exceeded that of last year by more
than $83,000 000-and that while the farm
ers are showing a goody margin Of profit
the merchant and manufacturer are having
hard time making ends meet. They will
buy many things in the Spring, but If they
will buy them now, factories will be running
full blast and they can do service to hui
manity.
With a general buying of necessary mer-
chandise, business conditions would materi-
ally improve, unsettled conditions would be
lessened and confidence would be restored
much sooner than under present conditions

lively cooperative, and here the Federal
Government has again extended in domain
of influence and its financial assistance by
doing both general and joint work with the
various states in many Of these pursuits
'The more recent Lever bill, in which
the Federal Government joins with all the
states in cooperative agricultural extension
work, is a mos, distinct sample of the very
latest Of such correlation, and the practical
nature of this work insures, to our mind,
such unusual good returns for the expendl-
tme that it will doubtless lead to further
National and state cooperation - more ex-
tensions into other lines, and accomplishing
on resulting in first aid to many problems
which are now becoming serious in American
farm life.
"a survey of the present rural social
atmosphere will compare favorably in prog
ress with that of city life, and in mechanical
progress and improvement in product will
far exceed in percentage of increase that OF
city life
1T is also encouraging that the increase
of social corruption has not been so great as
in the city environment.
"As without doubt much Of the increase
of crime in the city life may be directly or
indirectly contributed to by the high cost
Of living and the difficulty Of obtaining
same, it is broad, wholesome view that all
increased crop production will revert in
benefits quite as much to the improvement
of the city life as to that of the rural.
"We may also be well impressed with the
beneficial change in rity-bred hearts and
minds-who do not now look upon farmer
and his folks in the same apathy that was
so common and derisive not so many years
ago
''Just as the child who gets his regular
voluntary and liberal allowance from the
parent is not so realizing of his dependence
of city folks upon our agricultural basis Of
living
"Now, however, that we. are searching for
products rather than our products searching
for a market, we are becoming immeasur-
ably closer together and into more common
social atmosphere, and of a more general
appreciative interest in each other"

EDUCATIONAL BASIS OF FARMING.

TARNIING in this day and age is based
i upon education and education not only
in agricultural but in social and eco
nomc lines Read what Profitable Farming
in recent editorial, has TO say along this
line:
There was time when farming was con-
sidered largely a matter Of physical force
When the land was young and in its primeval
richness, there was not much attention given
to the studies Of conservation--of either soil,
or crops or feed stuff With land of value
Of only one-tenth to onethird its present
value, with single farm animal considered
Of no great Importance, with labor simple
matter and Of but an inconsequential ex-
pense-such important elements now neces-
sary in this intensified age, Of such crying
needs and requirements = it different now,
much different
Farming has not been considered as a
business until within the last two decades,
and it is only and really within the last
decade that we have begun to feel the i'm
perative necessity for a greater admixture
Of brain work.
1T is only within the last two or three
sessions Of the National Congress that appro-
priations Of any extent could be secured for
any but just ordinary work. Now we have
not only greatly enlarged appropriations for
properly carrying on of the various forms
Of research work, and solving Of the vital
poblems, but a multitude Of such - which
we not many years ago thought quite beyond
necessity. This is also likewise true Of the
appropriations and research work of the
various state departments of today.
'Many Of the state agricultural colleges
are carrying on, in behalf Of their own COM
monwealth, agricultural extension work and
Of much greater magnitude than like work
formerly carried on by the Federal depart
ment. It has also been found that much Of
the work carried on by a single state depart
ment could only be made adequately sue
cessful when these various units of enaeavor,
or when the work Of the various states, could
be more closely correlated and more effect

that It viii be presented to congress with con.

encountered as soon the program is fairly

and more Immediately pressing than that OF de-

Nebraska's Prosperity.

It may be doubted II the better posted
among Nebraskans, even, fully realize just how
prosperous this state is, and how rapidly II Is
growing in wealth and Importance. Close OBJ
servers have not always been able TO keep up
with the progress of events, so broad and mag
rificent are the achievements of this state. Now
and again one comes across something that af-
fords a basis for comparison, and thus gives an
Illuminating notion of what this state really Is
doing. Several years ago the farmers Of Arkan-
sas were induced to undertake diversfication OF
crops to the end that their prosperity might be
irade the more certain. As result of this
change in policy Arkansas is being con-
graduated on cotton crop for 1915 of $45,-
600, 600, and OF corn, wheat and other farm
products sufficient TO bring the total crop re-
turn for the state up to S95,000,000. On the
day this announcement was made the corn crop
alone Of Nebraska was worth at farm prices sew
eral millions OF dollars more than the entire
farm output of Arkansas. AS the population
OF Arkansas is more than 80 per cent greater
than that OF Nebraska. the figures given afford
sn opportunity for further comparison Of char
acter and achievement OF the people. Boosting
is OF particular service. but pride is always
justlfiable when its basis is as firm as that OF
the people of Nebraska.
