Although the doctor had told them

SUPPLYING WATER TO SWINE
One of Difficult Problems Hog Rails
ers Must Solve in Winter-Tank
Heaters Are Best.

1t is true that hogs, especially pigs,
do not get as much water as they need
during cold, freezing weather. The wa
ter should be heated in cold weather to
at least so degrees Fahrenheit, and it
is better if it is heated to 20 or 80 de-
grees- How to heat the water and
keep it warm is one of the difficult
problems hog raisers have to solve in
winter.
Some folks water the hogs several
times during the day and pour all the
water that is left out of the troughs
as soon as the hogs drink
Others have arranged various de-
vices In which they can use tank heat
ers. This is the most convenient and
satisfactory way if large number Of
hogs can be watered at one place The
method to use will have to be deter
mined by local conditions
Hogs do not thrive or make good
gains when ice water is given them in
troughs that already are half filled with
ice.

HE WANTED TO LIVE IN CITY
Trials of Farmer Who Moved to Town
and Was Sorry He Made
the Change.

In Farm and FiTeside is the story OF
farmer who sold his property to
live in the city. because his city
friends wore good clothes. had money
jingling in their pockets, went TO tbs
movies, belonged TO clubs, and en-
joyed a yearly vacation" He found,
however, that the city man pays dear
~ for these luxuries.
I'VE came to know" he said. that
it was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o'clock in the morn
ing as it was for the country man
to get up at five Why SOP Because
he must not relax; he is ever on duty.
He may smile at this person and at
that person He dares not notice any
bOdy's peculiaTities, or oddities or un-
reasonableness. The result is he
must find his relaxation in the eve
ming; therefore, the family rarely gets
to bed before ten or eleven O'Clock,
and seven in the morning finds him
just as sleepy and far less refreshed
than five found him on the farm
We found going to work for some
body else every day in the year, ex-
cept Sunday and perhaps a two weeks

manager, didn't exactly suit our coun-

FILE A NEW GAS RATE SUIT
Receivers for Kansas Natural Go to
the Federal Court for Their 81
Cent Tariff.

The receivers for the Kansas Ma
tural Gas Company went into the
United States Court at Topeka the
other day to try to remove the gas
case from the jurisdiction of the Kan
sas Utilities Commission and to force
the gas consumers of Missouri and
Kansas to pay thirty-seven cents a
thousand cubic feet for natural gas
for domestic purposes. The suit was
brought against the Kansas Utilities
Commission, the attorney general of
Kansas, the Missouri Public Service
Commission, the attorney general of
Missouri. all of the distributing COM
panies handling gas from the Kansas
Natural lines, all the cities reached
by the company, all the subsidiary cor
porations and the trustees for the var
ious bOndholders.
The suit does not ask the court to
enjoin the enforcement of the ascent
gas rate ordered by the public utili-
ties commission twenty days ago, I'M
til after the final hearing of the case
in the courts. 1t is set out that the
order Of the Kansas commission is an
interference with the property under
the control Of the receivers. The two
points on which the suit is brought
are:
That the business of the Kansas Ma
tural Gas Company is interstate COM
merce, and hence not subject to regu-
lation by either state
That the rates now fixed for natural
gas are confiscatory, unremunerative,
noncompensatory and seek to deprive
the company of its property without
due process of law
Both states are brought into the
suit because of the mutual interest Of
the people in Eastern Kansas. and
Western Missouri in natural gas.

FEEDING POTATOES TO HOGS
Fed to Best Advantage When Cooked
or Steamed and Mixed With Vari-
Gus Other Feeds

On account of the low price of DO
| tatOes in many sections farmers have
| been seeking information as to the
possibility of feeding them to hogs
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
! countries as well as a few in the
United States to determine the value
| Of potatoes as feed for swine In Ire
land and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been con-
cluded that 4 to AZ bushels OF pota-
toes when cooked are equal to about
one busheI Of corn for putting gains
on hogs. Therefore, if corn is worth
80 cents a busheI, potatoes when fed
to hogs would be worth only Is or 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at least
part Of his crop rather than to haul
these potatoes to an already over
loaded market.
According to the consensus of opin-
ion, potatoes are fed to the best adj
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with other feeds Experiments
in which raw potatoes were fed alone
have been reported. In certain in
stances the raw potatoes are said to
have caused scours. However, raw po-
tatoes in small quantities and in a diet
lacking succulence may be conducive
to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough wa
ter should be used to make a mealy
mash and prevent burning The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed
with corn meal or other grain supple
ment. Tankage, skim milk, or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
OF the mixture. Potatoes when pre-
pared in the manner described and
under the conditions mentioned can
often be fed to pigs with advantage.

TRADE REVIVAL IN

Not a Myth but an Actually

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-

spirit OF optimism in the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the op-

A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricui-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state Of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested a record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over 100000, 900.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected. Every

wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.

the bank clearings have been the Iarg-

The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
in the history of the twin ports, Fort

order houses have had big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.

Harm Done by Hertzian Waves.


Ever since the extensive commercial
employment of wireless telegraphy.
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves Sc
riously affect organic life. In fact.
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With a view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate, DR.. G. Abei-Musgrave recent
~ asked several questions on the sub
1ect to be answered by a number of
prominent German scientists The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although it is true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
OF accelerating rainfalls.
