win study and apply some Of the fun
damental principles underlying the
business.
On the average farm there should
be radical improvement in breeding
and the care of details during farroW-
ing, weaving, etc. There are many
complaints throughout the country
either of small filters or else a great
mortality in pigs. BY keeping the pro-
duction records of sows and selecting
from those that produce and raise
large average filters a breeder can
raise to it's most efficient point the size
Of his filters. This probably runs be-
tween seven and eight to the litter,
The hog raiser can prevent losses,
other than those caused by disease, by
providing proper shelter for the SOW
at narrowing time. The raiser should
always cultivate the confidence Of his
animals by quiet and humane ham
ding; this care and attention in times
of necessity will pay big returns.

SHEEP KILLED BY MAGGOTS
Parasites Develop in Clothed Filth IN
Wool and Work Well Over the
Hind Quarters.

Much injury from maggots on sheep
is reported this season. In ordinary
years these maggots bother only the
lambs, especially following docking
and castration, when sores are ex-.
posed. The maggots develop in the
clothed filth in the wool and work well
over the hind quarters if not checked.
If undisturbed they become SO bad
that serious injury and death fire.
quently result. Under favorable con-
ditions the maggots develop in "a
hours.
Each sheep should be carefully ex
amined, and enough lysol or some
other dip Of practically full strength
at the first application should be
poured on the maggots. Apply as
many times as is necessary to be eff
fective. Then examine frequently,
and when the maggots are all killed
apply a healing salve so that the skin
will keep soft and the wool will grow
again.

LOSS WHEN PLANT is DE-
STRoYED.
$4,000 PEOPLE SEE BLAZE
one Hundred and Fifty Workers Es-

in History of the Stock Yards
Heavy Loss at Cleveland Yards.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 4.-F'ire caused
more than $1,000,O0O damage on Mon
day to the pork house of Morris & Co.
South side, and for time threatened
Ito destroy the entire plant. Every
available piece of fire apparatus in the
city was playing on the blaze at one
time.
Fully $4,000 Omaha people watched
the blaze The plant was located be-
tween the o street and @ street via
ducts, in the very bottom of hollow.
The viaducts to the north and south
and the hills to the east and west
formed a natural amphitheater for the
thrOngs of spectators. The fire was
the largest in the history of the South
Omaha stock yards.
Superintendent Spangler stated that
there was more than $1,O00,0O0 worth
OF pork products in the building where
the fire started. 1t is a total loss.
The flames spread rapidly upward
and downward through the building
One hundred and fifty men working
overtime in the fresh pork department
on the seventh floor made a hurried
exit. No one else but watchmen and
fire guards were in the plant where the
blaze broke out.
Morris plant extends north and
south. The pork house was at the
extreme south. The beef house to
the north, the Office building, north OF
the beef house, and the machine shops
across the tracks were all in dan
ger.
A long string of freight cars was
showed up to number of refrigerator
cars which were standing near the
loading dock. A daring switchman
coupled them up and the loaded cars
were saved.
Cleveland, O., Oct. 1.-The Union
Stock yards here were partly destroyed
by fire on Monday.
It is believed the fire was started
by incendiaries, who fired several
bales of straw near the loading chutes
in the hog pens. More than 400 hogs
in cars nearby were hauled away safe
ly, but several carloads of cattle were
turned loose from the pens and ran
wild about the stock yards.

LORD CECIL REPLIES TO GER.
MAN cHANcELLoR's SPEECH.
Bethmann- HoIlweg Confident Teuton's
Will Win-Says Entente Allies
Seek Territorial Aggran-
dizement.

London, Oct. ALI of Europe is
'ready for peace" but Germany wants
s'only truce
This statement was made by Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war, trade
and blockade, in answer to Chancellor
Won HollWeg's speech at the
opening of the German reichstag.
s'The chancellor's speech shows a
considerable change in Tone" declared
the British minister to the corresponds
ent Of the international News service.
THAT talk of a German victory has
entirely vanished is remarkable. There
was no word concerning Belgium"
Asked if he considered the chancel-
lor's criticism of England more intense
than before, Lord Robert said:
ut is an old trick to try to con-
vince our allies that we are bleeding
them to death. The idea that England
wants world supremacy is fantastic. !"
Berlin, Oct. Germany will per-
severe until victory is hers, the reich-
stag was assured by Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H ollweg, according to the
full text of his speech, which was pub
lished here. The chancellor asserted
that the harvest this year had made
Germany's position much more secure
than was the case last year.
In his attack upon Great Britain Won
Bethmapn-Hollweg declared that that
countrys was breaking one interna-
+iono1 low after another and was
above all Germany's most egotis-
tical, fiercest and most obstinate en-
envy"

HOG IS PROFITABLE ANIMAL
Disadvantages Of Low Market Prices
May Be Overcome by Timely
Breeding and Care

The hog should be profitable ami
NAL. He requires less labor, less equip
ment, less capital, makes greater gains
on 100 pounds of concentrates, repro
duces himself faster and in greater
numbers, and returns the money faster
than any other farm animal. The fact,
remains, however, that prices paid for
hogs during recent months have been
low and discouraging. In spite Of
these prices the animal that possesses
the above advantages can still lift
mortgages for his owner if the latter

Hughe., pe6nition d Americ,nism.

The republican nominee for president, to his
old neighbors on the Fourth Of July gave good
definition of the quality of Americanism that has
made this country great. Speaking OF the men
Of the revolution and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, he said:
1t is all very well to talk about the declara-
ton and the strong sentiments which it con-
tains, but that was backed by men--men who
couldn't have indited it, men who couldn't have
committed it to memory, men who couldn't
have repeated II, but men in whose lives was the
incarnation of independence and whose spirit
was breathed into that immortal document.
This is the type Of manhood needed today;
not the noisy man, says Mr. Hughes, but the quiet,
sensible. honest, dependable men. 1t is on the
6rmness OF the moral fiber Of these men, and their
full determination to maintain the right, that the
safety Of the nation rests. That the country does
possess thoughtful men, and that the noisy hys-
terra OF the mob, excited by newspaper headlines,
is not the determining influence in our destiny,
augurs well for the future. The sturdy character
Of American manhood still dominates, as 1t did
in the days Of Washington and Franklin.
Americans are accused Of seeking after ease
and luxury; to very great extent they do, and
no nation in all the history Of the world ever en-
joyed so great measure or so general distribu-
ton Of the most allurng Of creature comforts. 1t
it we'll that this should be So but love OF ease has
not brought with il sloth or universal Habbiness
to Americans This government was set and has
been maintained by men who were willing to
give over personal comfort and endure hardship
that the principles Of liberty end equality might
survive. Such Americanisn as Mr.. Hughes
stands for Is not alone the hope and strength Of
the nation, but OF the world.
