at all times when the weather is ia
vorable for the animals to be out
side.
The hog growers should look 70 tho
lcgumos and investigate their nigh
feeding value. They are highly nitro
gcnUus food and may be grown with
great benefit to the land at low
cost.
When q green forage crop is pas
turcd with pigs. 1t is often necessary
to plow under large portion of d..
! green forage. which. together with ,h"
| droppings OF the pigs while they are
running on the field and being fed
| supplementary grain foods, greatly
/ improves the land, increasing Its
! 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 r.riters have advocated
feeding the pigs nothing but grass and
! forage crops. but my experience. both
| in the alfalfa region and here in the
F. st, will not bear out these claims
for forage.
We find that in order to secure
fairly good gains we must feed a little
grain food at all times. Forage VIII
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-
velopment they are capable OF MAX
ing.
II is claimed by the leading pork
producers that a well-managed sys-
TEN of forage crops will reduce the
cost of producing pork from 80 TO
40 per cent.
In planning a system of forage
crops and pastures. we must be gov
erned by the number of pigs, their
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
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 a tendency to promote an abnor.
NAL development OF their stomach
and intestnes.

CATCH THE CHICKEN SNAKES
Unique Method Employed by Texas
Poultry Breeders-Eggs Make
Most Effective Trap.

In some localities poultry breeders
are greatly annoyed by snakes steal
ing the small chickens and eggs. Here
is the method in Texas to catch these
culprits:
Simply shut up thu coop all but
one door. Before this door stand a
board with a hole bored through it,
Place an egg on each side of the board
on the floor.
His snakeship will swallow the out
side egg, stick his head through the
hole in the board and swallow egg
No. 2. when he will be able to move
only so far as the eggs situation will
permit.

oEy W N EFTLEYD
With the present high prices of corn
and other grain foods. it is essential
that we exercise strict economy in
feeding the growing pigs. and also in
maintaining the breeding herd during
the time they are not in actual serv-
ice.
\ well.planncd system Of grass and
forage crops will greatly reduce the
cost Of producing a pound OF pork, as
well as maintaining the breeding herd.
The size OF pastures. and the kind Of
forage and grass crops depend large
~ upon the location Of the grower
and the number of animals in the
herd
We prefer to have more acres of
hog pasture than are needed to supply
the herd with succulent food. so that
We can pillow under what is not eaten.

Made Cigarettes the Fashion.

Laurence Oliphant, a man both OF
letters and fashion, is generally cred
tied with having first introduced Gig
arettes into English society. They be-
came fashionable in about 1870 and
had a revolutionary effect on smoking
among women. Those Of the lower
classes had frequently been pipe smok-
ers, but in society the ladies', perhaps
for physical reasons, never took up
either pipe or cigar to any extent. The
cigarette offered them a milder and
more delicate means of sharing mans
delight in the weed.

BETANCOURT BUYS A HAT

The other day Senior Don Julio
Betancourt, minister to the United
States from Colombia, received a wire
less message from Sonora Betancourt,
who was on board the steamer AL
mirante on her way to this country.
The minister. with a worried express
sion on his countenance, at once took
a train for New York and hustled over
to the Fifth avenue shopping district,
for the wireless told him that his wife
had lost her hat overheard and,
though she had plenty of hats left,
not one was fit for a minister's wife
to wear when landing in the metropo-
lis. Pretty soon a revenue cutter
bore Don Julio down the bay to meet
the Almirante, and with him was an
attache of the Colombia embassy car

county jail. Before locking up
prisoner. however, II was necessary
for a deputy sheriff to visit the retail
establishment OF a certain prominent
drink merchant, because the key to
the lookup was kept thereon nail
behind the bar. There was only one
key, but there were several deputy
sheriffs and a great many people to
be placed in Jail. SO the only thing
to do was to have the key in a central

cHyM BoB's SPORTING TALK.

New York, Oct. 25.-At this season
of the year followers of athletics are
almost as interested in cross-country
running as in football. Cross-coun-
try work is becoming exceedingly pop
ular in the colleges. Cornell Univer-
sity, the champion college in this
game, turns out as many as 25O stu
dents for a single race, and the other
universities are rather turning to the
Moakley idea. The University Of
Pennsylvania, where new zest has ap-
peared in matters athletic, because of
the advent of one L. Robertson as
track coach, will probably be a factor
in intercollegiate cross-country run
ming after this fall. That's worth a
prediction, we think.

FAIR AERIALIST REVEALS

with the assertion that diet has moth

Exercise is the solution" says
Mile. Leitzel. IF my sisters wish to
be more slim they must go through
certain movements many times each
morning. If they would be feshier
than they are, then they must exer-
else just the same, but in an entirely
different manner. II is not natural to
deprive ones self Of good food, but it
is natural to exercise. Exercise is
work? All, that is the trouble. My
sisters, they oft do not like to do that
which is like work. They are lazy.
Therefore they are too slim, or, may.
be, too fat"
Mile. Leitzel weighs less than 100
pounds, yet since she is not tall her
physique is splendidly proportioned.
Considered the greatest woman aerial
list that has yet come to America, she
performs twice daily in the Ringing
Brothers' ''big top" Her giant swings
and flying fianges" executed in mid
air would tax the endurance Of the

counteracts by taking special exercis-
es in her dressing tent afternoon and

How many electoral votes hss Mis-

is easy, ten.
But how many hes New York, how
many has New Jersey, how many has
Indiana?
The average citizen of the United
States seldom know WIS the electoral
vote of any except his own state!
Sometimes just after . national elec-
ton he can tell you more, but not
often. In view of that condition of
ignorance upon that subject, and the
early approach Of the general cleo
ton we take upon ourselves the task
Of enlightening the readers Of The
Daily Commonwealth upon political
facts.
There is a total electoral vote Of
531, of which number 266 are neces-
sary for a choice. New York has 45
electoral votes and Pennsylvania is
next with 3S. Wyoming, New Mexico,
Delaware and Ariz iona, with three
each, are the smallest. Mississippi
has ten.
Just how the electoral vote will 60
cannot be ascertaihed. It is possible
for a candidate to secure the greatest
number of popular votes and still be
defeated in the electoral college. That

The rumor that Washington will
.ose it's American League franchise
persists. It seems that the present
Administration does not p~atronize
baseball very extensively and that
Walter johnson has been pitching to
empty seats too many times during
the current season.
The franchise which Washington
will lose most probably will go to To-
ronto, Canada. The Canadian city has
developed a tremendous interest in
baseball, and the American League
magnates, who are business men first,
figure that the interest will develop to
a greater extent if the Canadians see
a chance of getting some big league
baseball. Walter johnson and Clark
Griffith are very likely to be batting
under the flag of the Dominion next
year.
