CHEAPEST GAINS ON PASTURE
Feed Cost for Brood Sow With Litter
Cut in Two by Turning Them on
Alfalfa or Glover.

Pigs make the cheapest gains on
pasture. Trials at the North Dakota
experiment station indicate that brood
sows running on good pasture and
nursing litters will do as well when
receiving one to one and half pounds
of grain per 100 pounds live weight of
SOW as sows in dry lot receiving two
and q half pounds grain per day per
each 100 pounds live weight. The pas
ture just about cuts the feed cost in
two. The pasture alone does not fur
nish enough feed for either the brood
SOW with litter or for the weaned pigs.
They should be fed some grain, so as
to make rapid growth. In this way
the spring pig can be ready for market
before real cold weather sets in.
Alfalfa, clover, bromus and winter
rye make the earliest pastures. When
these have not been provided, early
spring seeding Of such grains as oats
and barley or rape are the next best
thing.

PLANS TO READJUST CROSSINGS

Ideas of Improving Intersections.


Ideas Of improving intersections.
Denver-The method of safeguard
ing railroad crossings to prevent the
constantly increasing numbers of acci
dents recommended by ID. S. Hooker
civil engineer of the State Utilities
officials, representatives of twelve
Colorado railroads, at meeting OF
the utilities board.
Mr.. Hooker's report recommended
improvements at crossings, levelling
the roads with the top of tracks
planking and gravelling, and the es
tablishment of standard crossing
twenty-fOur feet in width throughout
the state. He also suggested that ap
prOaches to the tracks be constructed
on uniform grade not to exceed
per cent and that standard sketch and
record cards, showing the traffic
census, the physiography of the land
near the crossing and the methods of
protection be filed with the commits
sion
In protesting against the adoption
of this recommendation II. U. Nudge
president of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad expressed the opinion that
the price of reducing the gradings and
filling the requirements of the report
would be SO prohibitive as to render
the proposition impossible. There are
S676 crossings in the state that would
have to be graded, he pointed out, and
the cost of adjusting them would ap
proXimate $110,2S0,000.

MAKING START WITH SHEEP
Any Of Breeds Suitable to Local condi.
tions Are Good-Western Ewes
Make Cheap Start.

How many or what kind of sheep
one should buy to start with depends
on how one is situated. and whether
the idea is to raise lambs or to feed
out at once.
II the beginner wants to raise lambs,
fifty or one hundred young ewes would
be plenty for first trial. Any of the
breeds suitable to your conditions are
good. Western ewes make cheap
start when bred up with good mutton

THE REPUBLICAN HANDICAP

Although President Wilson has been
reelected and will serve another four
years in the White House, yet study
of the election returns will show that
Hughes received a large majority OF
the electoral votes in those states
= where there was a real political con-
test. In eleven Southern states which
constitute the Solid South, and which
have voted the Democratic national
ticket without fail ever since the Civil
war, there are 126 electoral votes. 1t
would have been perfectly safe ten
wears ago to make bet at the odds
of 100 to L that all those states would
support the Democratic national can
didate in 1916, regardless of who that
candidate might be.
With such situation presented, it
is absolutely true to say that there
was no political contest in those safes.
The total electoral vote in the country
is 531. Subtracting the 126 electoral
votes in the South, we have 4O5 cleo
toral votes from states in which there
was contest between the Republican
and Democratic parties. In those
states Governor Hughes won 255 cleo
Coral votes, and Woodrow Wilson $50.
The Republican candidate went into
the campaign with handicap of %
per cent. Every Republican candi-
date for the Presidency has exactly
the same handicap. For all practical
purposes. we could as well abandon
the national election in the Southern
states and count the electoral votes
for the Democratic nominees without
any other formality. Neither the tar
if nor any foreign or domestic poll
eies of the administration, nor even
the "kepty,us opt 9f war; arguments
had any Influence whatever in the
Southern states this year. The cleo
ton in those states was decided in ad-
vance of the adoption of platforms or
the nomination of candidates. In view
of these facts, Mr.. Wilson can hardly
figure his election an unqualified vic
tory. He received about three-eighths
Of the electoral votes in the states
where there was real political con-
test.
