The Polk county court met at its regular
session here Monday. All justices being
present. There was some interest in the
elections to be held by the court. S. L.
Higdon and W. S. lawson were both can
didates for the office Of chairman. They
were both Democrats, and this caused
trouble, there being only nine members
of the court. If two Democrats ran it
burst the ring SO the big Four got together
to settle the matter. S. L. Higdon was
taken down after he had been slated for
the Job, and W. S. Lawson was put up for
the place so that harmony would prevail.
Just how Squire Higdon was harmonized
we do not know, but after they got this
matter settled the rest ef the slate went
through all right. S. L. Higdon was nom-
mated pro TEN. Squire Petit was also
nominated. Higdon was elected for the

A BALLOON WENT UP.

Editor THE PoK COUNTY REPUBLICAN.
hate to bother you for little space in
order to answer a column and nearly a
half of an editorial sent out recently, some
kind friend having sent me copy.
Senator Bob Taylar once told of Mr..
Jones. Mr.. Jones would fill up every time
he went to town, which was disgusting to
his wife, family and friends. Finally, Jones
swore off. He didn't tank up for three
years. One day circus came to town,
and Jones went. About noon they found
him full and taking things in.
His friends said to him: well, Jones
we were proud of you. You had been
doing SO nicely and now here you are, dog
drunk. What on earth did you do it for?
What does it mean?'
Hold on a minute" said Jones. II
came to town 10 bother nobody nor to al
low anybody to bother me"
But, Mr.. Jones why did you get drunk
they asked him.
Nov, just wait and I'll tell you. They
came here with high wagons with clowns
on EN-; elephants passed, and wasn't
bothering nobody. Then they came along
with tigers, lions and little monkeys on
horses, and then a balloon went up. 1t
went right straight up and couldn't stand
everything"
So after reading the clipping have come
to the conclusion that balloon must have
gone up and likely went straight up.
Here is what he says: "Just think of the
base ingratitude shown Judge Williamson
by those members of the count court"
Now that word "Steenth'' shows signs of a
balloon going up. It's balloon talk to us,
for it's above us. You may search me
and you can't find it on me, SO think
balloon went up that's all there is to it.
Then he jumps into the middle of the
roads goes, through the schools
crosses over the river on bridges until he
comes to the two mile river of doubt. He
travelled up salt river, am told, on the
Luke Lea band wagon. He said he would
have the river of doubt bridged if we had
remained in office. There is no use in
bridging this stream nor fixing more roads.
just get on the band wagon it don't JOLT
rides easy up that rough salt river and will
carry you anywhere $50 they say.)
Now he wants us to explain how we
were elected so many times chairman of
the county court Nhen the county court
was largely Republican. Here is how it
was done: First, by not allowing balloon
to go up. Second, by getting more votes
than our opponent. Third, by having NJ
opponent to beat. Now, Mr.. editor if you
will follow these three easily understood
rules you can get there, otherwise don't
run. He condemns man for not voting
for nominees; now, we know of u S.
Senator who voted against good old Bob
TAYLOR when he was the nominee, and this
editor supported him and rode in his band
wagon. Why not condemn him; if am
wrong? then if he is right why condemn me?
Is there not some hypccracy in his con-
duct? All that can see is that balloon
went up and he forgot.

PRACTICAL POINTS
FOR A POULTRYMAN
Whole Flock Should Be Kept in
as Near Perfect State of
Health as Possible.
By LESLIE f. CARD, Connecticut Ag-
riculturaI COlepe)

(By LESLIE f. CARD, Connecticut Ag-
ricultural College)
Keep the whole flock in as near a
perfect state of health as possible, as
eggs are often infected from diseased
condition of the hen and will not then
keep as well.
Give enough shell-forming food to
the hens so that the shells will be
strong and uniform in thickness. Thin.
shelled eggs do not keep we'll.
Make proper nesting places and
keep them clean so that the eggs may
not be infected while in the nests.
Gather the eggs each day.
Keep the gathered eggs in a dry,
cool room or cellar where the suns
rays do not fall directly upon them.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
sentative. Place eggs in the preserv-
alive within twenty-four hours after
the time they are laid If in doubt
as to their freshness, candle them, or
see if they sink when placed in a
dish of pure water. If an egg sinks
it is reasonably fresh.
Do not preserve dirty eggs nor egg,
that have been washed. The washed
egg will not keep because the shell
has been moistened, and the dirty eggs
will become tainted in flavor.
Do not try to keep eggs longer than
one year.
Do not use the same liquid more
than once. A new lot is cheaper than
a case of spoiled eggs.
Rinse the eggs in water after re-
moving from the preservative. II in
good condition when removed from
water-glass solution they will usually
remain for at least two weeks.
Water-glass eggs are practically az
good as fresh eggs for all cooking pur'
poses. If it is desired to boil them,
prick a small hole through the large
end of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores of the shell
have been sealed by the water-glass
solution and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst it..

so they should have pasture and be
fed well-balanced ration, and just
enough of it to keep them in good con-
dition without permitting them to be-
come fat. AS narrowing time ap-
proaches the sows should be separated
in order to prevent their crowding or
injuring one another.
The Herd Boar.
The herd boar is best handled by
giving him pasture lot by himself.
His feed should be liberal enough to
keep him in good breeding condition
only. This will be very light when he
is not in use for breeding purposes,
but during the breeding season his
feed should be increased. His ration
should consist of some high-protein
feeds along with mill feeds and lit
tie corn. The care of the boar is i'm
portant because of his relative impor-
lance in the herd, and his care, quar-
tiers, feed and watering should be care
fully seen to and provided.
Shotes.
The term shote is applied to all
swine from the time the pig reaches
weaving age until the fattening or
breeding age is reached. Pigs should
be weaned at from eight to thirteen
weeks, depending on whether or not
the sows are to be bred again. It is
always wise to have them taught to
eat well before weaving in order that
the rate of gain may not be checked.
Weaving should be done gradually,
the sow's feed being reduced to cause
her to dry up properly and at the
same time increasing the feed for the
pigs. The pigs at this age should have
a ration rather high in protein and
low in carbohydrates.
The boar pigs should be castrated
between six and eight weeks of age
before they are weaned. The young

sibly the less check in growth. II 8.

profitable enough to justify the risk

FORAGE CROPS ARE
FAVORED FOR HOGS
Clover Pasture Affords One OF
Cheapest Substitutes for
Grain for Swine.
(By ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Minnesota

(By ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Minnesota)
The profits from next years hog
crop depend on getting an early start
and a good growth on the spring pigs.
Grain feed is likely to be scarce and
high priced on account of the loss OF
the corn crop last fall. Good forage
can be made to go long way toward
taking the place of grain in maintain
ing the brood SOW and starting the
spring litter of pigs. Records OF gains
show that an acre of clover will give
as large a gain on hogs as 1,400 to
1900 pounds of shorts.
If good clover pasture can be pro-
yided, it will be one of the cheapest
substitutes for grain that can be found.
If provision for clover pasture or for
forage crops has not been made, SUBJ
stitute crops can be grown. One OF
the best substitutes is mixture OF
bushel of oats and ~ bushels OF Can
ada field peas. These should be sown
Just as early as the ground is ready
to receive the seed. They will make
a good pasture in five or six weeks.
Dwarf Essex rape is also popular
hog forage. This may be sown early,
also, though it grows faster when not
sown until the ground is reasonably
warm. A mixture of half bushel OF
oats, three pounds Of Dwarf Essex
rape and two pounds of medium-red
clover sown on an acre OF ground
about May 1 will make splendid sum-
mer feed after the middle of June. TO
follow this, corn sown in drills Sc
inches apart with rape sown broadcast
after the corn has been cultivated
once or twice will make excellent late
summer and early fall feed, especially
for the growing pigs.
By the use of these forage crops,
very much can be done to stimulate
the growth of the pigs and to put
them in good condition for fall fatten-
ing. If a small amount of shorts and
some skim milk can be provided for
the young pigs with the forage, excel
lent gains will be made.
