Feed Out Your Hogs Six Week.

In every lot Of hogs on feed Two
or three fatten quickly and act
ually eat less than others. If I'll
would fatten like these. the entire
drove would be ready for the
market six weeks earlier, and to
save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily
must be in prime physical condi-
ton. The B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder is a conditioner for hogs.
1t keeps their system clean and
healthy and enables them to fat
ten quickly without falling a prey
to the usual diseases of hogs. The
p. A. Thomas is not stock food.
It's straight medicine. and we
took the agency because it en-
ables you to feed out your hogs

STAMPEDED EUROPE.
Holloway. La, Dee 30.

IiOilO y EN. Id, I'Ft. ')V.
y In the year ISL Henry Geory,
said:
Private property in 0 lane
blocks the way of advancing
civilization. The two cannot
long co-cXist. Either Ilivat,
property in land must be abolish
ed, or, as has happened again and
again in the history Of mankind
civilization music again turn back
in anarchy and bIoodShcd. Even
now | believe the inevitable strug-
gle has begun. II is not conscrv
atism which would ignore such a
tremendous fact. /! is the blind
ness which would invite ocstruc-
ton. He that is truly conscrva-
tive, let him took the facts in the
face. let him speak frankly and
disapassionatcly This is the duty
of the hour. For, when a great
social question presses for settle
meat, it is only for little while
that the voice of reason can be
heard. The masses of. men hardly
think at any time. 1t is difficult,
even in sober moments to get
them to reason calmly But when
passion is reused. then they are
like o herd Of stampedcd bulls.
Il do not fear that present social
adjustments can continue. That
is impossible. What | fear is
that the dams may hold till the
flood rises to fury"
This it has done in Europe to-
day. The blindest can not dis
pute this fact. Shall we continue
the stand-pat-ism that has invited
and brought on the destruction
there? Is not the cause and fury
of the conflagration to be found
in the injustice which permits a
few men like the Riabouchinski
brothers to own and monopolize
six million acres of land near so
great and populous a center as
Moscow
Such policy, combined with
war preparedness, has destroyed
most of the great and wealthy ma
lions of the past. Such a policy
has lighted and kept burning the
fuse of war in Europe. Such a !
policy has made the Riabouchin-
ski brothers possible. Now they,
like other wealthy land monopo- /
lists of Europe, have not only
money. but men to burn. Destroy
the flower Of the country, the
strongest. the bravest and the
best, and the task of holding
Gods world forever the same (
will be an easy matter. Then,
when the Christ with bowed head .
passes that way, they will answer
him:
Oh, Lord and master not ours the |
guilt,
We build but as our fathers
built;
Our task is hard with sword and
flame
To hold Thine earth forever the
same.
