Export Figures for February.

American exports for February
reached total of s4O9, 836,525, accord
ing to an announcement by the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce of
the department of commerce. This is
the highest point ever reached by the
export tradeof this country and exceeds
the high mark for December, 1915, by
150,000,O00 1t exceeds the total for
January by $4,000, 900. The decline
In January had been taken In some
quarters to mean that the record fig
ure for December had marked the

ports. The total exports for the first
eight months Of the fiscal year 1916
are $2,5S6,301,5 $50, and it now seems
probable that the exports for the
whole fiscal year will reach $4,000

THE people of Kansas he contin-

ability and patriotism of the president.
His policies have met with most favor

knowing what he has done to promote
the welfare of the great mass OF
American citizens they are intent on
giving him another term in the White

times during the growing season, so
that some of them will be available
ct all times when the weather is ia
vorable for the animals to be out
side.
The hog growers should look to the
legumes and investigate their high
feeding value. They are highly nitro
genous food and may be grown with
great benefit to the land at a low
cost.
When a green forage crop is pas
tired with pigs, It is often necessary
to pillow under a large portion of the
green forage. which, together with the
droppings of the pigs while they are
running on the field and being fed
supplementary grain foods, greatly
improves the land, increasing It's
humus content and adding large
amounts of nitrogen to the soil beside
freeing it from noxious weeds. 1t Is
an economical method of building up
a rundown field.
A number of writer's have advocated
feeding the pigs nothing but grass ana
forage crops, but my experience, both
in the alfalfa region and here in the
East, will not bear out these claims
for forage.
We find that in order to secure
fairly good gains we must feed little
grain food at all times. Forage Will
make a great saving, and the best
possible growth and thrift are secured
when wheat middlings, corn or other
grain foods are fed in connection with
such grass and forage crops as al
falfa, blue grass, clover and cowpeas,
and the pigs will reach the highest de-
yelopment they are capable Of MAX
ing.
1t is claimed by the leading pork
producers that well-managed sys-
tenn of forage crops will reduce the
cost of producing pork from 80 to
40 per cent.
In planning system of forage
crops and pastures, we must be gov
erned by the number Of pigs, theiy
size. and quality of the land that is
used for growing these crops.
In my own experience | have found
no better method of improving the
soil than to raise hogs, and practice
a system of growing green forage
crops and feeding them reasonable
amount Of grain food in connection
with the pasture and forage crops.
To secure the best growth and de-
velopment the hogs must have some
grain food in connection with their
pasture and forage crops or there will
be tendency to promote an abnor-
NAL development of their stomach
and intestines.

ARE WITH WILSON
Voters Recognize Good Work OF
Administration.
Politicians Who Are Predicting Demo
cratic Defeat Are Not In Touch
With the Real Sentiments OF
the People of the Country.

'If the political prophets Of Wash.
ington are right in their views, the
president has not a chance to be re-
elected, but the opinions expressed
here in the national capital are not
at all in harmony with the expressions
one hears In the cities and rural dis.
tricts of New England and other sec
tions," said H. w. Quinlan, Boston
business man. in an interview with a
representative OF the Washington
Post. Since coming to Washington
have talked with number Of per-
sons, including politicians on the Hill
and elsewhere, and / have got the
impression that the president will
surely be beaten in the election. But
up In New England the people take a
directly opposite view. They believe
that Mr.. Wilson will be reelected be-
yond question. In Boston there Is
q very strong sentiment for the pres
ident, and / believe he will carry
Massachusetts.
When you come down to issues, the
Republicans have none that will appeal
strongly to the people. The tariff can
not be used effectively, for everybody
is at work who wants to work. and
when 1t comes TO talking to the work
ingman about Democratic mismanage-
ment and Democratic free trade 1t will
not have any great influence. The
man with job and full dinner pail
doesn't care much about q tariff.
Furthermore. there Is well-defined
and settled conviction among the peo-
pie, particularly among those OF the
rural districts, that President Wilson
has kept the nation out of war, and
they are grateful to him for that.
Down here, however, the politicians
are predicting with much gravity that
the Republicans are sure to win, and
that the president is fast losing what.
ever hold he had on the voters but
there is no reason in their attitude.
