ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
Attacks Foreign Policy of the Wilson
Administration.

New York, Jan 31.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt addressed an audience
of 5000 assembled in the Academy OF
Music in Brooklyn. His topic was
"Promise and Performance in Inter-
rational Relations" and he severely
criticised the Mexican and foreign
policies OF the Wilson administration.
The colonel held that the United
States was actually bound by The
Hague conventions to protect Bel
giuros neutrality; that il was an evil
thing to fail, year and half ago,
to stand forward in defense of inter
national idealism; that Germany Is
playing to give the United States a
chance to crawl out of making good
its fine words by offering a deceiteul
settlement OF the Lusitania atrocity
in return for an embargo on the ship
ment OF munitions to the allies and
that preparedness must be had in the
fullest sense and that universal mill
tary training must be adopted.

was born in Kentucky and began his
notable legal career at st. Louis The
south, which appears to have expect
ed this appointment to fall to some
man of that section, may well be sat
isfied to know that this militant New
Englander has never lost his charac-
ter as a KentuckiRn.
The new justice will take to the SUI
preme bench what the court has often
been accused of not possessing-a
point of view from which the interest
of the common man can be surveyed.
Mr. Brandeis has been called the
attorney general for the people. and
the title is no meaningless one. He
has appeared in so many lawsuits as
representative of the peoples side,
has won so many notable victories for
the common man in his unequal fight
against privilege and been so consist
ent and so able in his warfare against
oppression, that he has endeared him
self to thousands who have no person
al acquaintance with him.
He has been called other names,
too. He has been described as the
most liked and the most hated man at
the American bar.
Courts, high and low. are gradually
being transformed in character. Much
of the old popular hostility disappears.
The Brandeis appointment is step
in the direction indicated.

HOGS RUNNING IN ORCHARD
Unless Animals Are Well Hinged They
VIII Do Much Damage by Expos
Inc Roots Of Trees.

Much is said and written nowadays
concerning the disease and insect
pests affecting the orchard. While
many orchards are quite rapidly ap
preaching extinction for one cause or
another. there Is one cause that IL
seldom mentioned. as II appears to be
generally overlooked. That Is the con.
tinual pasturing Of the orchards by
hogs.
Formerly It was the practice OF pro
fessional fruit growers to allow their
swine free and untrammeled range In
the orchard. in fact, some raised hogs
for this purpose, rather than any pos
sible profit to be derived from pork
production, believing that the roofing
and tearing that the hogs are capable
of doing would be beneficial in the
way OF cultivating and mulching the
trees, and destroying injurious insects
However. most of them have discov
cred that although the hogs destroy
many harmful insects, the good done
in this way, unless the hogs are well
ringed. is many times overbalanced
by the damage done to the trees In
tearing up and exposing the roots to
the weather. The little rootlets are
very palatable and nutritious and as
good as q grain ration. They make a
splendid change Of diet for the hog.
but are rather expensive feed.
The time has come when science
has developed to such an extent that
the hog is no longer needed in orchard
management. In this day the posted
fruit grower can overcome or at least
largely prevent the ravages Of orchard
pests aud flies. The time has long ar.
rived when there is no money In try
ing to grow fruit without giving par.
ticular attention to these features. All
fruit growers. whether specialists or
general farmers, should post them.

SALT A VALUABLE SEASONING
Stimulates Appetite Of Hogs and Ap
pears to Improve Taste--Animals
Relish Charred Cobs.

It has been determined that salt Is
valuable seasoning for the feed of
hogs, though only a limited amount is
required. II acts as a stimulater of
the appetite and appears to improve
the taste of the animal. just the same
as 1t does a human being. 1t aids in
digestion and in general increases the
energy of the vital process and is
greatly relished.
When charred cobs are fed to pigs
they appreciate them much more
when then are sprinkled with salt. II
you feed a slop ration 1t should have
little seasoning of salt in 1t. The
effects of a mild seasoning of salt in
the food are beneficial as a tonic and
general aid to good condition. How
ever. be careful not to overdo 1t.
