FALL PIG CROP.
To Be Successful Fall POrkers Must
Have Good Feed and Care.

Success with fall pigs depends es-
sentially upon three things: comfort
able quarters, proper feed, and room
for exercise This is the way an ex-
perienced swine raiser has the matter
"sized up" Here are some of the
details of his plan for pig raising
which has worked"
Provide clean, warm, dry, sleep
ing quarters for the fall litters, and
thus avoid stunning them as a result
of exposure to cold. They should not
be expected to eat new corn until they
are at least eight weeks old, and then
only in small amounts. Warm water
and skim milk, made into a thick
'sIop' with either corn meal or ground
barley mixed equally with wheat mid
dlings, is valuable fall pig ration,
we'll suited to their needs. Indoor
feeding is always to be preferred
where possible. When properly cared
for, fall pigs should keep free from
skin troubles and intestinal diseases,
and be in shape for market in May OF
early June"
When asked if it paved under the
present conditions to hold pigs thru
the winter for spring sales, the infor
mant replied that as rule only farm
ers having plenty of fed grown on
the home farm should undertake to
raise fall pigs. For this reason, there
is no or little excuse for failure in
the business through improper feed
ing, poor quarters, or neglect.
Hog raising to pay we'll must be
reduced to strict business basis

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
tie Would Be First TO Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made ii plain that he was not attack
il-g labor or the equity of the pro-
posed increase of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
tor the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
inent Of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
Il deeply deplOre, in the name of
labor. in the name of justice, in the
naine OF American ideals, the surren-
der of the Executive and of Congress
to force. instead of permitting reason
to reign.
THE measure to which | have aIlud-
ed WAS not. properly speaking, an
eight-hour measure. 1t was a wage
measure. 1t was plain proposition

ton and the peaceful settlement of
these Industrial controversies. We

If we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton OF the facts
This particular measure shows on
its face that it was legislation in adj
vance of the investigation, instead
of investigation in advance of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was in its
favor the judgment of society. The
judgment of society in this country
has never been passed in favor of leg
islation without knowledge of the equi-
ty and regardless of the facts of the
case, There was no judgment of so
ciety in favor of the roads which were
excepted from it's provisions. If there
was judgment Of society, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
OF roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? | say, away with such pre-
tense. 1t was a surrender to force in
stead of clear, candid, faithful
framed examination of the facts, and
then action in accordance with Ameri-
can principles.

ny represents force. Democracy rep

NO ONE WAS AFRAID OF
HAITI.

Haiti did not behave as badly
to us as Mexico behaved; but
Mr.. Wilson interviewed, fought

blood and the blood of our
troops, took possession and now
has our armed forces in control
of Haiti and directing its gov
eminent. His course of action
in Haiti can be defended only
if his course of action in Mexi-
co is unqualifiedly condemned;
for such action was far more
needed in Mexico than in Hal
ii. But there was a difference
in the two cases; and to Mr..
Wilson it was a vital difference.
Haiti was weaker than Mexico.

Worth Careful Thought

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
ness for low price.
