lece. Plant seed now is his advice
Hogs that are being fed for fatten-
ing purposes should receive all the
concentrates they will eat before they
are fed the pumpkins, points out Mr.
Gatewood. When feeding pumpkins,
most of the seeds should be removed.
because when they are fed in large
quantities with the concentrates, they
have an injurious effect on the uri-
nary organs.
Pumpkins will take the place of
roots in winter and form a succuIent
food. Their feeding value is not as
high as that of turnips or mangels

Democrats have run into blind al.

tariff. They will either have to sell
bonds or raise the wind through radi.
cal upward revision of the Underwood.
Simmons act. The president Is quoted
as holding that such revision of the
tariff will not be necessary until the
close of the war. He would have to
possess acute prescience to express
such view. when no living mortal
can forecast the end of the war. As
"a E.atter of fact. when this shall

will be swamped with loads of trash
