their best.
Probably the most interesting fea-

White River Float Trip, beginning al
Galena, Mo-, on the James River and
ending at Branson or Hsllister on the
White. A 125-mile trip that can b.
made in from four to six days. A
still longer float is available from
Branson or HOLSTER to Cotter, Ark.

RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD

Rats cause great losses in many
poultry yards but at the Missouri
College of Agriculture we have had
no trouble of getting rid of them by
poisoning with a mixture of two parts
corn meal and one part sugar of lead.
The hand should not come in contact
with the poison feed and all other
feeds should be removed so the rats
cannot get them.
The poisoned feed may be kept
away from the chickens by putting it
in tray, nailed to the middle Of the
bottom of box at least foot square
and six inches high. The box should
be closed on all sides except for g
number of inch-and-a-half holes
bored through the sides near the bot
tom.
Burn or bury the dead rats so thai
chickens cannot eat them. The de
cayed flesh of even Imprisoned rats
is likely to cause limberneck, as pto
maine poison is called in chickens

STILL BEATING THE AIR

William Marion Ready, in the st.
Louis Mirror, says;
Candidate Hughes still continues to
beat the air aimlessly. His"speeches
have added nothing to the futile
fault-fnding of his speech of accep-
lance. 1t is easy to stand by and
find fault with what a man is doing,
without giving him the key to doing
better. This is Hughes, He merely
grumbles and kicks.
The Mexican policy of Wilson es-
pecially excites his opposition, yet he
does not outline policy which might
or might not have worked. 1t is diff
ficult to deal with political chaos, ig-
norance and lawlessness in way to
please anybody. It. would be inter-
esting, although not convincing, to
know what Mr.. Hughes would have
done in similar circumstances. In
finding fault with Wilson. Mr.. Hughes
apparently misses the point that the
president of Mexico was virtually
dealing with huge mob, to put
i which down by force. would gain this
country nothing and lose much.
Is Mr.. Hughes afraid to venture
even an alternative theory in oppo-
sition to the Wilson practice?

WILSON'S PRoGRESSIyEIsM

President. Wilson's progressive
ideas proven in legislation urged by
him and materialized into law should
appeal to the good sense of the true
Progressives who were of that party
because of the faith that was in them.
Equally do some of the Wilson ap-
pointments show his progressive ten
denotes. Notable among these are
the appointments of Brandeis to the
Supreme Court and Parry and Rub
lee to the Federal Trade Commission.
Let it be remembered too, that
these appointments were not forced
or made for political reasons, but for
merit and on principle. Rublee's
confirmation was prevented in the
Senate by Senator Gallinger, leader
of the Republican cold guard"
Difficult will be the way of any Pro-
gressive applicant for office, even 9
Progressive Republican, if Hughes il
elected; he will have to run the
gauntlet of the "Old Guard" before
appointment and again in the Senate
! for confirmation. And the same diff
ficulties will beset progressive leg
| islatiOn.

HEALTHY HOGS
RESIST CHOLERA

Hogs are not as resistant to di-
sease at this season of the year as
they are in the spring when getting
an abundance of green forage, and
having access to a wide range. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to give them
more attention and better care to off
set seasonable conditions and danger
from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre of ground day after
day. This contaminates the feeding
places, and also attracts crows, pig
cons, and sparrows which may have
been feeding with cholera infected
herd Throw the feed out in a diff
ferent spot each day, thus giving the
pigs clean "plate" from which to
eat.
The water supply is of much i'm
portance to the health of the hogs at
this time of the year. Old mud wal
lows are never good, but are not SC
bad if the hogs can have pure water
to drink, but if forced to battle anc
drink in the same "tub" serious trou'
BILE can be expected at any time. See
that they have an abundance of pure
water to drink, situated near the
wallow holes or feeding places. Pure
water will aid materially in keeping
the herd cholera free.-E. R. Spence

riculture.

DOES A HEN GET
TOO FAT TO LAY?

The question, "Does han get TOO
fat to lay?" is often asked and nat
urally this question is associated With
feed and feeding.
After observing many experiments
here at the Experiment Station, we
arc led to believe that this question
should be reversed and instead of say
ing the hen gets too fat to lay, we
should say the hen can't lay is the
reason she gets too fat.
If a hen is fed ration which
makes ten yolks for each five whites,
she will make only five eggs and the
other five yolks are taken back into
the hens system and built into fat.
In this way she becomes very fat, yet
produces only few eggs, In this
case the hen is not at fault, for If she
had been given a balanced ration, she
would have manufactured eggs instead
of fat.
A good example of mistake Of
this kind is permitting hens to eat
with fattening hogs. We often hear
farmers ssay that the hens eat with
the fattening hogs and waste the feed
They are right so far as egg-produc-
ton is concerned, for ration which
is good for fattening hogs is not good
for laying hens. The reason is that
the ration produces more yolks thar
whites and therefore the hens gel
fat instead of producing eggs.
If the hens have range and access
to the hog feed, the better plan is t.
furnish meat food of some kind which
is heavier in the production of whites
In this way the hens eat less of thu
hog feed, yet produce more eggs.
During late fall and WATER tn
hens meat supply is cut off for during
the summer they have supply o.
worms, bugs, grasshoppers, etc., 6u
frosts and cold weather destroy TIL
supply. 1t is mistake not to cor
rect this condition for most grains
fed to hens are stronger in the pro
duction of yolks than in the produc
ton of whites. Meats of all kinds
SKINNED milk, etc, are stronger II
the production of whites than in tn
production of yolks, and would there
fore be good to feed in connection
with grain to form balanced ration
About the only solution for thi
problem where hens have free rang
and access to grain is to place tn
meats, milk, etc, where the hens ca
get it and let them balance their ow
ration, which they do very well wher
they have an opportunity, but if the
are allowed to eat all the grain the
want, such as corn, they will get ia
and lay only few eggs, yet shout
be held blameless for the condition.

.IOOTED" SCHOOL FUND AND
BUSTED" STATE TREASURY

According to the Globe-D Democrat,
The Missouri school fund has ncen
"looted" by the officials Of the State,
and the Treasury is "busted."
Let's see: State Auditor John Z.
Gordon has just certified to the State
Superintendent, Hon. Howard A.
Gass, S1,954,134.95, the amount OF
money to be given to the school chill
dren this year, which has been appor-
toned to the various counties.
This money is on hand and in the
vaults of che State, awaiting reouisI-
ton from the county courts. But now
listen: In 1908, when the Republican
party was in charge of the States
finances, the public school children OF
Missouri received $1,564,698.95.
And what does that show?
That the Republicans, when in con-
troll of the Treasury only eight years
ago. were short in the school fund
1889, 436.00. In other words the
school children received thtt much
less from the Republican Treasurer
than they will receive from the Ma
| Tor Democratic administration this
year.
Then, who really '1ooted' the
school fund?
The people seem to be pleased with
the Democratic sort of school fund
'looting". In the recent primary one
of the "alleged chief looters", Hon.
John P. Gordon, carried ninety-slx
counties over his opponents for State
Auditor, a greater number of coun-
ties than was ever placed to the Gre
dit of any executive officer of the
State in a primary election.
| In addition to the enormous school
fund apportionment, Auditor Gordon
is paying out this week more than
$4,000 90 to the various county Off
Gals of the State for assessing and
collecting revenue. More than S9,-
10000 is being paid from the State
Treasury for salaries of the County
Superintendent of Schools. More
than $50 100000 is being paid by Au'
ditor Gordon for Teachers Training
!. Courses and Rural High Schools II
the State. $20,000.00 is being paic
for salaries of the teachers of the
State University. The salaries of tht
eleemosynary institutions are also be
, ing paid and plenty money left II
the Treasury to pay the salaries Of
all State employees on the first O.
/ September; and in the various funds
, in the Treasury there is more thar
/, three million dollars left.

A PROGREssIvE's VIEW

In declaring unequivocally for the
reelection of President Wilson, Judge
Charles R. Spence, one of the leading
Progresives of the State, says.
"The nomination of Mr.. Hughes by
the Republicans cannot serve to mask
the batteries that are behind him.
They are still manned by the old
guard and the munitions are still
supplied by the great favor-seeklng
corporations, which have not been
neutral in recent years when the Re
publican party has been in peril. The
personnel and directing forces of the
Chicago Convention demonstrate this
to every unprejudiced observer.
1.-THE character of the organization
is precisely the same now as it was
in 1912. If those who then joined the
Progressive movement were JUSTIFIED
in their revolt, they are all the more
justified now in preventing the return
to place and power of the men who
were so thoroughly repudiated by the
country in 1912.
"The trouble is that we do not
know where Mr.. Hughes stands up
on vital questions.
"We know where President Wilson
stands. A Progressive party admin
istration in the same length OF time
could not well have placed more laws
upon the statute books in line with
its principles and policies than have
been enacted during President Viii
sons term"
There may be some Progressive
who will support Mr. Hughes, bu
not one of the Spence kind, VIII
were actuated by principle in desert
ing the Republican party, will.
