ABOUT CORN AND HOGS

Manhattan, Kan.-One bushel of
corn without supplements will yield
10 pounds of pork under farm condi-
tons, and 10 pounds of pork will
feed more human beings than the
same amount of any other meat, as
serts w. A. Cochel, professor Of ami
NAL husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Hogs return more profit than any
other farm animals because they util-
ize the feed more thoroughly" says
Professor Cochel. when hogs are
ready to go on the market, they yield
proportionately more meat than any
other animals. Not only do they
make good gain, but one pound of
pork will feed more human beings
than any other animal flesh in the
same quantity. Hogs are more eff
ficient in the production of meat and

I Years ago China found that hogs
turn the product of the farm into
more meat than any other animal ex-
cept poultry. Hogs as they are used
here are primarily animals which are
developed to consume concentrated
feeds.
1.-THE profit of the hog industry de-
ponds on whether the farmers can
produce feeds on their farms suitable
for hogs. This is especially the case
in Kansas, where alfalfa and corn is
raised. Farmers should be encour-
aged to raise enough hogs to consume
the feed produced. This practice will
give the farmer good meat as well as
better return for the feed raised The
man who stays with the hogs year in
and year out, despite the ups and
downs, will prosper in the hog busi-
ness. This will give him most in
telligent system on which to build
his live stock industry The hog will
be the market for his farm produce.

and the prevention of dis

wounds, and the prevention Of dis
ease.
Science as'given US more efficient
means for the transportation Of the
sick and wounded. 1t has taught us
to fight successfully against the dis
eases of peace as well as war. Tu-
bercuIosis, pestilence, camp diseases,
tetanus, are all yielding before the
onslaught Of science. The use Of an
tiseptics, cleanliness, sterilization,
are making possible the successful
treatment of very ugly wounds, The
organization of nursing, surgical
technique, and hitherto undreamed
of mechanical appliances are benefi-
cent gifts to man.
And these are the things that will
last after the war is over. They are
the friends of progress and civiliza-
ton. When the world is wise enough
to stop using its scientific knowledge
for self destruction it will find sci
ence well started on it's mission Of
service to Neutrality-suspicious. IN.

YOU CAN'T HUMANIzE WAR

The attitude toward war is at pres
ent the greatest obstacle in the way
of moral progress, and 1t is as form
liable an obstacle as it ever was in
the past. Doctors of international
law assure us that "the methods OF
warfare, although by the nature OF
war to a certain degree cruel and un-
sparing, become less cruel and more
humane every day" But there Is
little foundation for this assertion.
Although attempts have been made
at international conferences to lessen
the cruelties of war, the rules laid
down are only too often violated, and
the invention of new means of de-
struction Is constantly adding new
horrors to the practice Of warfare.
1t is also mistake to believe that
the tendency to restrict or mitigate
In some respects it's cruelties Is q
unique outcome of Christian civiliza-
ton. Even many uncivilized peoples
have made 1t rule in war to spare
the weak and helpless-w chill
dren, and captives. So also the Cen
eva convention has been anticipated
by some non-Christian peoples.
Facts of this kind should be con-
sidered by writer's on international
law who boast of the enormous" in
fiuence which 1.-The principle of hui
mainly" has exercised upon the mod
ern practice of warfare. The truth
is that, while moral evolution has
shown steady and conspicuous ten
dency to improve the relations be-
tween different social aggregates and
their members in times Of peace, its
influence on war has been compare
lively insignificant. And the reason
for this is not difficult to find. War
can never be humanized. But think
It can, and will, be abolished among
civilized nations.
The members of the same social
unit are tied to each other with many
bonds-solidarity of interests, the
same customs, institutions, and magic
or religious ceremonies and beliefs,
a common language, and, frequently,
notions of a common descent. And
as men generally are fond of that to
which they are used or which is their
own, they are also naturally apt to
have likings for other individuals
with whom they live and whose hab-
its and ideas are similar to theirs.
Hence, when the political unit grew
larger, when the idea of kinship de-
veloped into that of racial affinity,
and when the same religion became
common to all the citizens of the new
state, the altruistic sentiment under
went corresponding expansion,
while the increasing conference of the
political aggregate added to the
strength of this sentiment.
But 1t was not extended to strang-
ers, with whom little intercourse was
held. Savages consider themselves
vastly superior to the whites, and are
therefore astonished at the arrogant

Indigestion nearly always disturbs
the sleep more or less, and is often
the cause of insomnia. Eat light

no milk; also take one of Chamber

Fred Rohn who with his brother is operating on Dexter said that Wednesday night it was mighty cold out on Dexter Still there is lots of water and they are still sluicing Jack 0hrem and partners are finish ing up their sluicing, Storm on the Daisy is doing the same thing while Shoemaker on No. II is also ground sluicing. Miners, notwithstanding the frost, look for open weather up until the end of the month and are mining accordingly.
 A delay has occurred in the re- ceipt of all messages in Nome for the past two days. This delay is caused by a break in the land line below Nulato and all messages have to be photographed rom the Fort Gibbon wireless station to Nulato. It is very late before the local offices finish work of a night and in fact last night it was after eleven o'clock before the lines were cleared The land line although the older system is much more rapid than the wireless and the congestion often remarked at radio stations is not in evidence. It is for this reason that the land lines, notwithstanding the frequency of the Interruptions is still maintained by the War De- partment in Alaska.
 The Mathews dredge is about all the active mining that is going on in the Kougarok and it is the in- tention keep it going until the freeze-up prevents any further ope- rations. The other dredges are closed down. Breeding was still at Davidson's landing not yet having got to Taylor creek. At Taylor creek however was L. A. Davison who would assist Breeding in the store. Dave Johnston expected to come to Nome in a few days. Evans had shut down his hydraulic operations on Macklin and also would soon arrive in Nome. Geo. James had also sus- pended operations for the season. The trail had been staked from Dahl creek to Coarse Gold and gave
 
 CT cabins erected on the trail from the Kougaroh to the Inmachuck which had been erected along the newly staked trail with territorial monies, also was a much needed piece of work and would route con siderable travel heretofore diverted to other sections over this trail dur ing the winter.

But the Railway Gazette Age points
oIt that comparisons with 1914 arc
comparatively uninstructive because
