following list of IA articles which
he says. would be sold in large
quantities if they coud be made:
A new fuel for motor cars and
engines that would be as good as
gasoline but lover in price; a
fountain pen that would not leak,
a shoe that would fasten with snaps
instead of laces and be just as
comfortable and satisfactory, an
automatic rug beater that would
run by electricity, a window screen

There are three general methods OF
producing hogs for market: Dry-lot
feeding; feeding on pasture and for
age crops; and feeding on dairy by
products. BY dry-lot feeding is meant
feeding in confined pens; forage
crops include alfalfa, Bermuda grass.
blue grass, etc. and the crops which
require to be planted each year; and
dairy by-products are skim milk, whey
and buttermilk.
A ration for young, growing ami
NAL requires a larger percentage of
protein than one for fattening or for
mature animals. AS the shote increases
In age and size the protein may be
gradually cut down until the stand
ard for fattening hog is reached.
Forage crops have been used more
economically as a source OF protein
than purchased feeds and have the adj
vantage OF supplying it in a palatable.
succulent form. Alfalfa probably fur
nishes the cheapest and best forage
for swine when it can be grown. Even
during winter alfalfa hay can be fed
in racks and with ear corn furnishes
well-balanced feed for almost all
kinds OF hogs.
Glover, cowpeas, soy beans, pea
nuts, rape, rye, oats, wheat, vetch and
Canada field peas are all valuable
forage crops for swine OF any age
The proper grain ration to feed with
them consists of such feeds as corn,
barley, etc, with the legumes, and
with the nonlegume plants the use OF
small percentage OF tankage and oil
meal will be found advisable. The
amount TO feed will depend on the
rate OF gain desired. II rapid gains
are sought, a full ration Of grain
should be used, but IL economy is
more desirable smaller proportions
of grain win be better, while If 1t is
only desired to carry the pig crop
over period OF low prices they can
be kept on a minimum grain ration.
1t is best, however, to keep them
growing, and to do this a small
amount of grain, two or three per cent

MOST OF PALACES
REGARDING ANIMALS
Prevention and Treatment of Dis

FaiIuTe-CaSeS Cited.

There is no doubt that the more
complete our knowledge OF the cause
OF disease the more perfect will be
our means OF prevention and the more
rational our treatment OF the same
The reverse is equally true. II our
knowledge is based on fallacy, our
prevention and treatment is bound to
result in a failure.
Most Of the fallacies regarding ami
mails and their diseases have been
handed down from one generation to
another, and the most OF them
haven't the least ground for existence.
The following ones belong to this
class:
l. That there are certain signs of
the zodiac during which castration of
animals is highly unsafe.
2. That there is a drug or combina-
ton of drugs which is specific for a
certain disease. regardless of it's form,
intensity or complications.
3. That we can cure systemic dis
eases by such magical treatment as
pouring water or other fluids into the
ear.
4. That medicines to be effective
must have a noxious odor, taste or
origin.
3. That we have such diseases as
hollow horn" lost cud" and wolf in
the tail"
6. That animal life from it's origin
to death is in great part Influenced by
mysteries.

CLOVER BETTER FOR

Especially Dangerous-Give

A thin seeding OF grain is the best
insurance Of a good stand OF clover. A
half bushel or three pecks Of grain as
a nurse crop will protect the young
clover plants. and at the same time
give them room to grow.

heck of lamplight which he had so
often called his guiding star. Take
me out OF your mind and heart and say

whispered, sending the words out into
the void OF night. But only the din
and clamor OF city gone wild with
enthusiasm came to answer him Some
where on the avenue q band was play
ing; men were shouting themselves
hoarse in excitement, and above the
shouting came the staccato cracking
OF pistols and guns fired In air.
He struck the match and stopped
over the blue cylinder. This is your
message Of cheer, whether you take It
that way or not" he went on, whisper
Ing again to the silent void. But when
the fuse OF the blue light was fairly
fixing he suddenly pinched it out and
held the match to the other.
Up on the high bench OF the great
mountain Amy Massingale was pacing
to and fro on the puncheon-hoored
porch OF the home cabin. The girls

area in the western edge OF the town

lights and marking the site of the gov
eminent reservation. 1t was when q
tiny stream Of sparks shot up in the
center OF the dark area that she
stopped and held her breath. Then,
when a binding fare followed to prick
out the headquarters, the commissary
and the mess house, she sank in a de-
spairing little heap on. the floor, with
her face hidden in her hands and the
quick sobs shaking her like an ague
chill. 1t was Brouillard's signal, but
1t was not the signal Of peace; 1t was
the blood-red OF revolution and strife
