Older residents of Kansas City
remember the howl that went up
over the announcement of the COM
prehensive park and boulevard plan
worked out by the first park board
under the direction of A. r. Meyer.
1t was denounced as eXtravagant
and out of all reason. Kansas City
never would grow to it. The
Paseo! How people ridiculed the
word. And the .'pergola." 1t was
to laugh, the pullbacks said.
Now there are no more park
knockers. The city recognizes the
park and boulevard system as one
of its greatest assets.
That is the eXnerience every
growing city goes through. Some
people always suppose that its
growth has stopped, that it never
will be any bigger, and that public
improvements should be held back.
And then the progressives win, and
in time everybody comes to their po-
Sition,

"THE LITTLE-vIsToNERs"

TINE Little-Visioners" is the term
by which the Kansas City
Times designates the pull
back" element of that community
which stood vainly in the way of the
extensive Improvements the people of
the municipality have authorized and
completed within the past few years.
Kansas City, like Harrisburg, has ex-
pended hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in making that town a better and
more beautiful place in which to live.
But, like Harrisburg also, this great
work for the public good has not been
accomplished without the petty OBJ
struction of the ultra-conservative
element that found conditions that
were good enough for their fathers
good enough for them" and who saw
nothing to commend in anything new.
Indeed, the Times comment fits Har-
risburg almost as well as though it
had been written with this city in
mind.
This is the way the Times sizes UP

SHOCK.
NOTES FO7 SWINE BREEDERS
Success With Pigs Cannot Be At.
tributed to Luck-MoGeI Farm
Should Have Natural Shade.

Progression is the order Of the day,
and in no direction is there more prog
ress made than in the breeding and
feeding of swine.
The time is past when we can con
slider a mans success in swine grow
ing based upon luck.
Good drainage is essential on the
hog farm, and no amount of tile or ar
tiicial draining will take the place
of good natural drainage.
While hills and valleys make an
ideal place for a hog farm, the herd
should be kept assnear to the source
of the water as possible because of
the danger of the stock becoming af-
fiicted with cholera and other diseases
caused by the stream being contami-
mated by swine further up stream.
A model breeding farm should be
provided with a timber lot or large
grove. There is no shade like nat
ural shade, and trees soften the cold
winds during the winter. Their value
cannot be overestimated when proper
ly utilized by the swine grower.
The breeder who would be success
full in this age of close competition
must have the closest and keenest dis
elimination of what is necessary to
constitute an animal of individual
merit, or more properly he must have
firmly fixed in his mind the exact CON
tour Of perfect pig. Then he must
have an idea of the kind of breeding
stock required to produce such pig.
There are numerous breeds of swine,
varying not only in size, color, shape,
feeding qualities and general char
acteristics, but also in the quality of
their product.
It is not the great big fat pig that
brings home the money, but the pig
that will weigh from 200 to 800 pounds
at from six to ten months of age that
captures the top prices.
The breeding animals of the herd
should receive the very best care and
attention at all times, but with all of
our knowledge Of breeding and feed
ing, the science Of swine growing is
yet in its infancy.

COMPOSITION OF EWES MILK
Different Breeds Show Some Variation
In Fat Content-Lamb Needs Good
Laxative at First.

An analysis of eve milk shows it
TO be very high in fat content. The
different breeds show some variation
in this regard, and there is a consid-
cradle variation in the fatty content of
the milk of a single eve at various
times. All ewes give richer milk i'm
mediateIy after the lamb is born than
they do later on.
The percentage of fat sometimes
runs as high as IL per cent at this
time. Nature made this arrangement,
no doubt. because the lamb needs a
laxative at first to set its digestive ap-
paratus in motion and free it of feces
that have been collecting during its
prenatal growth.

IMPACTION III WORK HORSES
Animals Are Turned Out to Old
Straw Stack and Allowed to
Shift for Themselves.

By DIR I. F. NEWSON. Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station)
This is the time Of the year when
iinpaction Of the bowels is most com.
mon to work horses. The animals
having little to do are turned out to
an old straw stack or coarse alfalfa
and allowed to shift for themselves.
Owing to the cold weather they drink
little water and the coarse food not
being properly moistened clogs the
intestines This is more liable to be
the case if the teeth are not in first
class condition, for then the food is
not finely ground in the mouth. Look,
ing after the teeth and giving an oc-
casional bran mash will materially
reduce impactions.

KEEPING SWINE I'M WINTER
Profit Can Be Made in Feeding Home
Grown Feeds, Such as Glover,
Alfalfa and EnsiIage.

1t is a common question to be asked
if it will pay to winter swine. | can
see but one way to winter swine at a
reasonable cost, and it is to winter
them on as cheap feed as is possible,
and make homegrown feeds, clover,
alfalfa and ensilage, form a prominent
part of the ration.
If we can winter an animal in this
way and feed cut only small amount
of grain think we can make it profit
able TO keep number of pigs through
the winter and make fairly good
gains, but it is a common occurrence
