FURNISH SWINE PURE WATER
Hogs DO Not Drink Out Of Filthy
Pools az Matter OF ChoIce-ln-
diana Incident ls Related.

We have heard men argue that hogs
do not require pure water since they
exhibit their disregard in this matter
by commonly drinking out of filthy
pools. It is not improbable that hog
a herd may become so degenerate
In its habits as to pay no attention
to the supply of their drinking water.
But this degeneracy, or what else you
may name it, is not matter of en-
vironment, says writer in Farmers
Review. Hogs do not differ from 9TH
er animals in adapting themselves to
their surroundings. In fact it is one
of the laws of nature that a species
which can best adapt itself to varying
conditions stands the. best chance to
survive. The hog accepts filthy water
when there is nothing better. After
while he loses his taste for pure water.
Our remarks on this subject are
prompted by the following incident re-
ported by one of our Indiana readers:
This man had been in the habit of all
lowing his herd of hogs to secure wa
ter from a more or less muddy creek.
On account of the prevalence Of dis
ease on a farm above him he decided
to provide water for the herd with q
hog fountain In hauling the fountain
to it's position in the pasture he had
to cross the creek and in getting to
this point a number of hogs out Of
curiosity had followed. They contin-
ued to follow him across the creek
and to the final location of the foun-
tain, where they drank to their full
when the water was turned into the
drinking places.

CARE IN FEEDING BROOD sow

tory Results From Corn, Wheat
Weddings and Alfalfa.

On farms where many kinds OF
grain are grown there should be little
or no difficulty in providing a suit
able ration. For several years mature
brood sows in the Wisconsin expert
ment station herd have been fed ra'
lions composed of one-third corn,
one-third wheat middlings and one
third wheat bran or alfalfa. Such
feeds are satisfying and bulky and at
the same time sufficiently nutritious
to cause the sows to gain from fifty
to seventy-fve pounds in live weight
during pregnancy. A mixture of equal
parts, by weight, of the feeds mem
toned, fed in the form of thick slops
is always very satisfactory. This in
sures an equal proportion and distri-
button of the various feeds and Is rel
ished by the animals. The corn may
be fed on the ear and the alfalfa need

Madison. Official silence covers the
plans of Gov. E. L. Philip with regard
to the denomination of G. H, Crown
hart, president of the Industrial COM
mission, for a second term, but the
friends of Mr. Crownhart still believe
that the governor will send his name
to the senate within a short time.
There are rumors in the capitol that
the delay is connected with the candi-
dacies of two administration senators
for the appointment. They are ]. H.

not be cut, and the rest of the ration
should be given as thick slop.
Brood sows weighing from 800 to
$50 pounds usually can be kept on
one of the above rations for. about
$1.50 a month.
II you live in a section where these
can be grown, sugar beets orr giant
half-sugar mangels may be used to
form the bulky portion of the ration
and to replace the bran. The sugar
beets or mangels can be cut up and
fed raw or may be cooked and with
middlings and other meal made into
thick slop. Soy beans kept on the
vine make excellent winter feed for
swine. They can be stacked in or
near the hog lot in the fall and fed
out as needed. The hogs will get
abundant exercise working over the
pile Of vines in search of the beans.

e deficit needed to make June payroll.
Insurance Bill Reconsidered.
The assembly reconsidered the vote
by which the bill SIS had been con-
Cured in and then nonconcurred in.
This is the bill changing the method
of taxation for insurance companies
so as to give the home life insurance
companies a chance with outside COM
panies. The bill was concurred in by
the assembly with a good vote, but
statements made by anti-administra-
ton papers that the legislature was
taxing the people at the expense OF
the life insurance companies scared
the members. 1t was another case of

Kubasta showed that while there
might be slight decrease in taxes
now under the new system there
would be an increase as years went
by, but the assembly refused to con-
cur in the bill, AZ to 25.
Education Measure in Senate.
The future of the school system in
Wisconsin, from rural school to uni
yersity, is in the hands of the senate.
Educators of every rank are waiting
the fate of the central board of educa-
ton bill, fathered by Gov. E. L. Philip
which will be decided by the vote OF
the upper house.
Almost overwhelming opposition,
which has been evidenced before the
legislature since the governors plan
first made its appearance, has resulted
in its being re-drafted and amended
several times in an effort to attract
the opposition votes, which promise to
defeat the scheme to do away with
the regent management of university
and normal schools and place them I'M
der control of the governor and his ap-
pointees.
The last of a number of official argu-
ments in favor of the central board
plan was issued from the governors
office. In it Mr.. Philip reiterates his
claims of benefits to the. common
schools to result from the reorganiza-
ton of the management of the higher
institutions of learning.
Extra Session" Unlikely.
It is predicted that unless the senate
gets down to business this week the
legislature cannot adjourn sine die be-
fore the first week in August.
Instead of being short session, the
present session will be one of the long
est in the history of the state. The
suggestion that unless Gov. E. L. Phil
ipp approves of general results" he
will call special session of the legis-
lature, is not causing much excitement
here. 1t is claimed that the governors
consolidation program has blocked the
work of the finance committee and has
caused more delay than any other
matters before the legislature.
Governor Signs Bond Bill.
In an executive message to the SEN
ate Gov. E. L. Philip announced that
he had signed the bill which authoriz-
ed the city of Milwaukee to issue
$2,0OO,O0O bonds for three succeeding
years for the building of a sewage dis
posal plant. The act provides that
upon a petition signed by Is per cent
of the voters of the city the bond issue
shall be submitted to referendum
vote. The governor also signed bill
42a, making it possible to garnishee
the wages of persons on public pay
rolls, including state employees.
