ls preferable, but if the supply comes from a spring or brook the farmer should be sure that it is safeguarded from contamination. The greater part of the weight of hog is water, con sequently it is very important to see that he is supplied with plenty of pure, fresh water during the summer months.
 Provide artificial wallows, made Of cement, that will hold five or six Inches of water They are much bet ter than wallow holes, will not spread disease, afford much comfort, and are a paying proposition where many pigs Are kept.
 Every hog raiser should practice keeping his pens, yards and houses clean at all times. Lice breed in dusty places, and at least twice year there should be general cleaning of the feeding places and of the buildings. lots and pens used for housing hogs. All manure, filth and dirt should be scraped up and put on the farm where 1t belongs. Then air-slaeked lime should be scattered freely in all of these places. especially in the buildings where the hogs make their beds and at their feeding places This acts as a disinfectant Hogs are un- clean and filthy only when. they are compelled to be so. They are driven to it by force of circumstances over which they have no control and when lice get on them, all they can do is To scratch and be annoyed This makes it impossible for the hog to thrive we'll How can lice be prevent ed? The easiest way is to provide an oiler. To do this, drive a stake into the ground near the feeding place, wrap a gunny sack around it. tie 1t tightly, 80 that the sack cannot come off. and saturate with crude oil and keep it saturated; the hog will do the rest. Some people use coal oil mixed with grease, but if you want to laugh at and enjoy appreciative hogs. pro vide a selfoiler for them. But do not neglect the simple devices if you can not provide an automatic oiler.
 See that plenty of salt. charcoal, wood ashes, lime, etc, are kept be- fore the hogs at all times. Hogs crave salt; charcoal acts as a regu- lator, and wood ashes and lime build bone.
 Plan to have plenty of summer le- gumes with which to fatten your hogs on this fall. One acre of Soy beans should graze ten pigs weighing 45 pounds each for 40 or 45 days, when fed one big ear of corn each day, and at the end of the 40 days the pigs will weigh about 125 pounds An acre of peanuts yielding 40 bushels will produce 400 pounds of pork, though 1t is better to feed an ear or two of corn per hog per day, as peanuts alone make soft, fiabby pork. One acre of good cowpeas in corn will carry three pigs weighing 50 pounds until they weigh about 225 pounds
 making total gain of about 400 ol l 800 pounds of pork.

Jim" Nugent of New Jersey, the old time enemy of President Wilson. This trio signed the minority report with the Texan.
 Lined up against Gov. Ferguson. who acted as spokesman for the mi nority, were Senator Stone of Mis- souri, Senator Pittman of Nevada and Senator Walsh of Montana.
 Senator Walsh did not mince mat ters in his argument for the adoption of the suffrage plank. He stated plain ly the adoption of the plank was necessary as a matter of political ex- pediency, adding that the present political situation in this country was a condition and not theory.
 The states in which women vote control 91 votes in the electoral col 1ege," he said. adding significantly, "every political party has declared for woman suffrage in some way or other. It becomes a simple question whether you will incur the enmity of these women.
 Now, my friends" he continued, "as late as 1907 there were but two states west of the Missouri river that returned Democratic senators and now we have 15 of them. The question Is, are you ready to surrender the Is votes you have in the United States senate and turn them over to your political enemies?"
 In conclusion, Senator Walsh said hot h0 said President Wilson knew all about the suffrage plank.
 "'The president believes 1t vital to his success that 1t stay in the plat form." he said ''I ask you In all the fervor of my soul. who is there wiser or more patriotic than he?"
 Following Senator Walsh's speech Gov. Ferguson was allowed five min utes for rebuttal. The vote was then taken and his minority report voted down, after which the original sui frage plank, as approved by the reso lutions committee was unanimously adopted.
 The Women Delegates.
 The presence of the 16 women dele gates at the Democratic convention not only added color to the affair, but changed the views of number of the men delegates on the subject of po- litical activity for women For the women delegates were a fine, whole some-looking lot and they fought just as enthusiastically for the best inter- ests of the party as the men,
 Three of them, Miss Mary E. Foy of California. Mrs. T. s. Talliaferro of Wyoming. and Mrs. W. A. Harris of Kansas, spoke before the resolu- tions committee in favor of the sui. frage plank which the National Amer. ican Woman Suffrage Association pre- scented to the convention.
 One of the other delegates. Mrs Teresa E Graham. of Idaho, was nom mated by the National Democratic committee to be one of the committee that will notify Vice-President Mar shall of his nomination.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
No. ,. Summer Care of Swine.
By H. K Sanders, Specialist for Pig
 Club Work.

By H. K Sanders, Specialist for Pig
 Club Work.
 All swine. including brood sows and boars, should live out of doors in the fresh air during the summer months. and whenever possible they should be turned into a new lot, which will be most apt to be free from contamina- tion or disease, and thus the hogs will escape intestinal parasites and other ailments. Swine will do at least Is per cent better on pasture than they will if fed in closed pens. Exer- else makes a strong pig, the lack of it weak pig. With succulent pas ture feed and reasonable amount of grain and plenty of exercise a pig will develop strong bone. muscle, wig orous digestive tract and good con stitution. However contrary to com mon practice, 1t has been demonstrat- ed that pasture alone will not give the best results; pigs must have some grain. The mature pig can hardly subsist on grass and pasture alone. but good pastures of alfalfa. clover or re will moro than sustain life.
 The following information taken from Henry's Feeds and Feelings will be interesting to those growing swine on pasture and feeding grain. Prof. Henry found that a pig weigh ing 100 pounds consumed eight-tenths of a pound of grain and one and six tenths pounds of skim milk per day, and made gain of one and six-tenths, and that 25 per cent of the feed given a pig weighing 100 pounds was used for maintenance. while the other 75 per cent went to produce daily gain. With the 300-pound hog 36 per cent of the feed went for actual mainte- nance and GA per cent of the feed went to produce daily gain. Do not forget that it is unprofitable to keep the pig in the pig pen and feed it corn and slops alone, because the farmer can actually buy bacon from the grocer man cheaper than it can he produced under such conditions Do not depend upon pasture and pas ture alone; pasture and reasonable amount of grain will produce best.
 Good shade should be provided. and running water supplied. Well watel

London, Oct. 5.-When parliament
reassembles next week the govern
ment will be confronted with new en-
barrassing proposals for the applica-
ton of CONSUMPTION to Ireland.
The Times and other newspapers re-
Gently have been conducting strong
campaign with this objective in view
and the decisions announced yesterday
by the man power distribution board
and by General Sir William Robertson,
chief of the imperial staff, that more
men are urgently needed, will, 1t is
believed, strengthen the hands of the
agitators who have been Joined by Sir
Edward Carson.
Sir Edward asserts that the situa-
ton is such that without CONSUMPTION
in Ireland it will be impossible to even
maintain the Irish regiments at the
front in their proper strength. He
contends that Ireland could provide
another half million men of military
age. and asks what the coloniese, which
have made such sacrifices for the en-
pire, think Of the Sinking of Ireland.
Move Against ASQuIth,
While most of the responsible poll
.ticians are agreed that 1t would be
inexpedient to attempt to apply COM
pulsion to Ireland while nome rule is
withheld from it. undoubtedly in the
present phase Of the European war
those who are demanding CONSUMPTION
hold strong hand, and the sG-er!
ment may find it difficult to resist their
demand.
The nationalists in reply to Sir
Edward Carson point out that the
colonies already have self-govern-
mert. and hence there is no analogy
with the position Of Ireland. They
assert that Ireland will be found to be
a united nation in resistance to COM
pulsion.
The liberal newspapers consider
the agitation another attempt to un-
seat Premier Asquith, and contend that
while the compulsion in Ireland would
provide a few men 1t would provoke
another first class Irish crisis and
throw Ireland into the hands Of the
Sim Feiners
Must Prepare For Worst.
In an address at Dalderby, Lincoln
shire, General Robertson said that,
while the allies were winning the war
slowly but surely, he wished to i'm
press upon his hearers the necessity Of
procuring more men for the army and
munitions factories. In this connec-
ton, he said. he had serious word Of
warning to give.
I'VE are not justified in expecting
to win the war" he said, unless the
service Of every man and woman in the
country is utilized to the fullest
extent.
we must be under no delusion,r he
continued, las to the end or proba BILE
duration OF this great struggle We
must be prepared to continue for time
which can not at present be foreseen.
In fact, We must prepare for the
worst while we hope for the best We
have adopted in theory the principle of
national service. We must see that we
put it into practice, because we want
more men, and we want them now, and
eventually we shall want all who can
be spared

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Falling off in the
trading points led to a decided ad-
vance in the price of hogs today. The
advance amounted to 1895 cents.
Market has declined round 81 per
hundred within period of two weeks
Such violent declines have come about
as the result of packer control of the
situation. The big packing concerns
have been securing the country for
hogs in spite of the weak demand they
put up at market. and the apparent OBJ
ject of free buying outside of the mar
kets has been TO smash the prices in
the markets.
If it can be consistently concede
that an 1000 so price basis at mar
kets recently was legitimate, as viewed
by supply and demand conditions, then
the recent declines are illegitimate and
reactions should follow.
Whether they will come is conjec-
tural. 1t will depend upon the atti-
tude of the grower, and likewise the
consumers purchasing performance. II
cheaper retail prices will induce great
er buying, then the market will assume
stronger position.
Eleven markets received $500 hogs
Wednesday, or 1900 less than last
Wednesday, 22,500 more than d year
ago, and 5000 more than two weeks
ago. Total the first half of this week
301 900, or $4,000 more than same pc
riod last week, liz, UV0 I1iuTe than same
period last year. and $1,000 more than
corresponding three days TWO years
ago. Total for 1916 to date 2l,6,2,0o0.
or 2,625,000 more than same period 1915
and 4,6ll,00O more than corresponding
time 1914.
Cattle.
Cattle were relatively scarce and a
strong market developed.
Just how much liquidation the pas
toral region west Of the Missouri river
will resort to before winter sets in
remains TO be developed. Feed scare
ity ip the rule out in that region and
that means letting cattle go. The

be heavy for weeks to come. Feed is
always the factor and when the board
bill Is high wintering cash is prefer
able to carrying steers in the opinion
of majority. The northwest will carry
some s,retchy steers thru the winter,
but unless they are capable Of putting
on weight that policy is questionable.
The sooner a light Il! bred steer has
been converted into money the less will
be the owners risk. The heavy Sep
TENDER movement was due in a large
measure to a determination to be RIA
Of that kind. How delinquent feeders
in the corn belt have been in stocking
up is indicated by movement Of only
3.s72 carloads of stock cattle out OF
Kansas City in September, against
4,24l carloads a year ago, much of the
output being light cattle intended for
