PIG TROUGH is A NECESSITY
For large Animals v-shsped Device
VIII Be Found Durable and Con-
=. venient--tiow II 10 Made.

The pig trough is a very necessary
equipment. For large hogs very
durable and economical trough is
v-shaped one which can be made OF
pieces by 10 and 2 by s, but for the
younger pigs smaller pieces should be
used. Care should be taken In maxi
ing them. If they are too high the
pigs cannot feed conveniently. II too
low, the pigs win get into the trough
in order to get the feed.
The trough set in fence, parallel
to 1t. is very satisfactory arrange
ment. A swinging panel can be hung
above the trough. A latch slipping
crosswise at the center of the panel
makes it possible to swing It in and
fasten il, thereby shutting out the pigs
until all the feed is put into the
trough.
The pig trough should be kept clean.
A thorough scrubbing occasionally will
be an advantage to the animals health.
If the trough is set on a-cement feed
ing floor there will be less dirt and
filth.

ROOT CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK
Big Tonnage Secured From Beets and
Mangels-PIants Draw Especial
iy Heavy on Phosphorus.


Sugar beets and mangeIs grown for
stock will produce big tonnages. Man
gels like rather cool climate and
sugar beets are grown successfully In
about the same general latitude that
grapes are produced easily and some
what north of that belt, says a writer
in Farm and Home.
Put your root crops in a good fer
tile soil, plowed deep and well titled,
II you expect heavy tonnage. Work
ZIP II good secdbed and II the land Is
not already very rich put on some
well rotted manure after blowing.
Root crops draw especially heavy on
phosphorus.
Plant the beets in drills with the
rows far enough apart that cultiva-
ton is not difficult. Put the rows
20 to 80 inches apart. Plant about
complaining time. You will have to
hoe and thin them by hand.

much on the skill used in placing the

Repeated levellng Of mole ridges on
lawn by means Of roller not only
tends to discourage the animals from
making further incursions, but pre-
vents the soil from drying out and thus
injuring grass roots.

Their direction. The choker trap has q
pair of wire loops that enclrcle the
burrOw when the trap is set. All these
traps are sprung by the same sort of
mechanism trigger pan resting on
a depressed place in the mole ridge in
such way as to be lifted when the ami
NAL passes beneath. No part of set
mole trap should ever be in the run
way, as its presence makes the animal
avoid the obstruction by burrowing
around or below it.
- Directions for Setting Traps.
Only general directions for setting
mole traps can be given here, nor are
detailed instructions necessary. since
the makers of traps usually furnish
specific directions for using them. A
mole trap can be successfully Oper-
ated only when set on that part of
mole runway which is near the sur
face and has the soil raised into q
distinct ridge, newly worked. Freshly
broken soil usually indicates that the
tunnel Is in use. When in doubt the
operator may make a small break in
the ridge and observe whether the
mole repairs ii within few hours. In
placing trap, one of the stretches OF
the runway that leads in a definite di-
rectiOn should be chosen rather than
one of the turns that may not be regu-
larly traversed by the mole.

ascertain the course of the burrow by
thrusting down lead pencil, or stick
Of similar size. The trap selected
should then be lined up with the course
as nearly as possible; the jaws OF the
sciss8f- Jaw type should straddle It, the
loops OF the chOker type should encir-
Gle 1t, and the spikes Of the harpoon
type should be directly above IT. In
the case of the harpoon type, II Is best
TO force the impaling spikes into the
ground once or twice to facilitate their
penetrating into the burrows when the
trap Is sprung. II is desirable also, in
setting any Of the traps, to depress on
ly that part of the ridge Immediately
under the trigger pan, using the hand
instead OF the foot for this purpose. A
little earth or a small chip of wood
may be placed under the pan il neces-
sary. The trigger catch should be set
as lightly as possible, and one should
avoid stepping on any part Of the run
way near the trap. 1t will pay TO visit
traps at least twice a day.
Moles are persistent in repairing
breaks in their tunnels and may often

DEDICATED TO MY MOIHE2.I

My mother, my darling mother,
How well remember you.
Your deep blue eyes and rosy cheeks
And hair of auburn hue.
No form was e'er so perfect, ts
No heart SO fond and frue, n
No life so sad, no soul more glad,
And none more pure than you.
You were so young to die, mother,
Just in the prime Of life,
But our Savior knew best mother,
Ali took youf'om earthly strife.
You left me in my childhood,
In this big world to roam,
But thoughts of you will lead me
On to my Heavenly home.
All that ! am, ! owe to you,
And all that I'll ever be,
You taught me how to live, mother,
And prepare for eternity.
My mother, my angel mother,
/ shall behold you over there,
Where all is Joy and gladness
And love is everywhere.
Yes, well meet again, my mother,
And never more well part,
And you can fold your dear ones
Close to your loving heart.
Oh, the Joy of that glad morning,
When our loved ones all shall rise.
Where we can live forever
In that home beyond the skies.
Farewell, then my precious mother,
Until death shall set me free,
When !, with all my loved ones
Will come to dwell with thee.

HARD TO PRODUCE.

Tobacco is a product that takes
twelve months in the year to produce
and sell, and in former years the to-
bacco growers have been compelled
to sell their tobacco at almost starva-
ton prices. The tobacco grower not
only gives practically years time
and labor to the raising Of tobacco,
but gives his best land and best cult
walton to it. They are now housing
a great crop Of TOBACCO, not only in
quantity but in quality, and ! want to
see free and open market this fall
in order that this crop may bring the
best prices possible. The tobacco
growers, landowners and tenants
alike, are looking to Congress for
this relief, and | believe when these
facts are detailed to you, opposition to
these two amendments will be small.
Tobacco is the money of my district,
and when the price is low it effects
every character of business. !"
The Kentuckian reviewed the his
tory Of the diplomatic negotiations
over the British embargo. He told
of the injustice to the tobacco growers
in view of the large crops planted this
year in the belief there would be no
embargo. Expressing the belief that
the adoption of the James and other
Senate amendments would put an
end to this discrimination, Represent
alive Kincheloe cited an example of
the attitude Of Great Britain in the
past:
''Only last week." he said, II re-
ceived letter from Ross-Vaughn To-
bacco Company, of Owensboro, KY,
saying that they had shipped 233
hogsheads of tobacco, worth $50, 900,

hagen, Denmark, and asking me to
90 to the British Embassy here and

ARE ROBBING LAND CLEAR
ING or IT'S TERROR

Clearing a farm in Northern Wis
consin is not the enormous task to-
day that it was for the earlier set
tier. Live stock, explosives and land
clearing machinery are now saving
the backs of the farmers and making
lit possible to clear in few years,
an area which would have taken a
farmer of the previous generation a
| life time Carl D. Livingston, of
the Land Clearing Division of the
University of Wisconsin, made that
statement at the close Of a series
of land clearing demonstrations and
experiments.
Dynamite is very great aid IN
many land clearing operations. OF
course when purchased in small lots
it is rather expensive but when a
community gets together to buy it
in@car load lots, a great saving can
be effected. BY buying comparatively
nearly twice as much dynamite can
be purchased for the same amount
Of money as when bought in small
and individual lots
There are now on the market
many reliable grades Of stump pull
ers which show real merit. These
are not expensive and with reason
able care they will last until the
farm is cleared. These can be used
alone or faster and better way is
| first to crack the stump with small
charges of dynamite and then pull
the shattered pieces. This leaves the
soil in better condition and makes
more easy the destruction. of the
stump.
Land clearing, while not easy, is
certainly robbed of the horrors it
once held for the settler and farm
er of the lake states
Mr.. Livingston has charge Of a
second stump pulling and piling DEM

operated over the 500 Lines in ten
