heieye that they are going to be de-
oriyed of the right to vote in the COM
mo elections. the men realize that un-
sss some action is taken soon looking
inward the passing Of a law that will
not have an opportunity to cast their
ballots this year.
With the campaign in full swing,
politics has begun to enter into the
discussions of the men in camp here
and whether the soldiers are given the
ballot or not, it is expected that there
will be some lively political debates in
the Badger camp.
The feeling among the Wisconsin
soldiers that they should be given a
chance to vote was especially strong
when it was understood that Governor
Dune of Illinois would call special
session of the Illinois legislature to en-
act a law permitting the soldiers from
that state to vote, but reports have
been received here to the effect that
bis plan has been abandoned because
Of Governors Dunne's inability to OBJ
tain an assurance that the necessary
number of legislators would attend the
session and it is thought that the fail
ure Of the Illinois soldiers to get the
ballot may comfort the Badger troops

vote.

the Wisconsin military reservation at
Camp Douglas, the Wisconsin brigade
now contains 4,055 men or 760 more

Mlzation at Camp Douglas was issued.
These figures disprove the statement

FEEDING POTATOES TO HOGS
Fed TO Best Advantage When Cooked
or Steamed and Mixed With Vari-
Gus other Feeds.

/. On account of the low price of po-
tatoes III many sections farmers have
been seeking information as to the
possibility OF feeding them to hogs
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
countries as well as few in the
United States to determine the value
of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ire
land and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been con
cluded that 4 to AZ bushels of pota-
toes when cooked are equal to about
one bushei of corn for putting gains
on hogs, Therefore, If corn is worth
so cents a bushel, potatoes when fed
to hogs would be worth only s or 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at least
part of his crop rather than TO haul
these potatoes to an already over
loaded market.
According to the consensus of opin-
ion, potatoes are fed to the best ad-
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with other feeds. Experiments
in which raw potatoes were fed alone
have been reported. In certain In.
staicen the raw potatoes are said to
have caused se9ars. However raw po-
tatoes in small quantities and in diet
lacking succulence may be conducive
to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough wa
ter should be used to make a mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed
with corn meal or other grain supple
ment. Tankage, skim milk, or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
of the mixture. Potatoes when pre-
pared in the manner described and
Under the conditions mentioned can
often be fed to pigs with advantage.

SUPPLYING WATER TO SWINE
One Of Difficult Problems Hog Rails
ers Must Solve in Wlnter-Tank
Heaters Are Best.

It is true that hogs, especially pigs,
do not got as much water as they need
during cold, freezing weather. The wa
ter should be heated in cold weather to
at least so degrees Fahrenheit, and 1t
Is better II It Is heated to 10 or so de-
grees. How to heat the water and
keep it warm is one Of the difficult
problems hog raisers have to solve in
winter
Some folks water the hogs several
times during the day and pour all the
water chat is left out of the troughs
as soon as the hogs drink
Others have arranged various de-
vices in which they can use tank heat
ers, This Is the most convenient ard
satisfactory way If large number Of
hogs can be watered at one place The
method to use will have to be deter
mined by local conditions.
Hogs do not thrive or make good
gains when ice water is given, them in
troughs that already are half filed with
ice.
