SHIPMENT OF DEAD ANIMALS
lated Regulations of Aericul-
tural Department.

1t has come to the attention of the
U. S. department Of agriculture that
in some instances shippers of live stock
have violated the regulation of the de-
partment prohibiting the shipment of
dead animals in the same car with
live animals. The regulation, which
was adopted February 10, 1915, and
amended July 1, 1916, is as follows:
"No dead animal shall be transport
ed, offered, or accepted for transpor-
tation in the same car with live ami
mails from the original point of ship
ment in any State or Territory or the
District of Columbia to or through any
ether State, Territory, or the District
of Columbia"
The foregoing regulation is binding
alike upon individual shippers, rail-
roads, and other carriers. Violation
of the regulation is punishable by
fine of 500. The original regulation,
B. A. I. Order 21O, and the later,
amended regulation, B. A. /. Order 245,
were promptly made public. but it is
possible that some individual shippers
are not familiar with the regulation.
They should hereafter be careful to
observe it. Failure by several rail-
roads to observe the regulation has
already resulted in prosecutions of
them and the imposition of penalties.

opportunities, they developed their tall
ents by study, steadily working their
way through school, and in most cases
through college toward that broader
experience in the affairs Of life which
ultimately fitted them to become "cabi-

an inspiration to those who, being born
and raised in the small country town,
are likely to consider their surround

ambition and energy, he will surely

SWINE HARVEST CORN
One Of the Most Economical
Practices on Any Farm.
Crop Is Consumed Without Waste and
z Cost of IHusI<inu Is Saved-Scws
Intended for Fattenino Make
Remarkable Gains.

Hogging down corn, once in dis
repute and counted shiftless, has now
become respectable and moves in the
very best society.
Careful experiments as well as prac-
tical experience of hard-fsted farmers
have shown that the hog is the most
economical corn harvester known. He
husks the corn, consumes 1t without
waste and returns as much or more
pork per bushel of corn than where the
grain is husked and carried to him.
The cost and labor of corn husking
are thereby saved.
Furthermore, during the process the
animals have spread the resulting ma
nure over the land in an even man
ner, another saving of labor and great
benefit to the soil. Particularly where
the corn is not of the highest COM
mercial quality and is intended for i'm
mediate feeding is hogging down rec
commended. You can trust the pigs
to get all out of the field there is in it.

SERIOUS EGG-EATlNG HABIT
Many Writers Recommend Drastic
Measures to Remedy EviI-Brought
About by Confinement.

The egg-eating habit is one of the
serious troubles the poultryman has to
contend with. Many writer's recon-
mend drastic measures in combating
the evil-the selling or killing of the
entire flock, if the habit is general.
In general, it may be stated that the
egg-eating habit is brought about by
confinement, the accidental breaking
of eggs in the nest, the feeding of egg
shell with portions of the egg-sub-
stance adhering, and a lack of animal
and mineral food in the ration.
The two most general causes are
confinement and lack of mineral and
animal food. Hens having free range
seldom contract the bad habit. The
reason for this is plain. They are in
and about the laying house only while
laying, and at other times are too busy
hunting for food to fall into evil ways.
It's the idle hen that contracts the
habit.

to $50 pounds or little more and let
them clean up the field fairly well.
Naturally there will be some shattered
grains and scattering ears left and
then you can turn in the old brood
sows and let them pick up the leav-
ings. Old sows that are being fat
tened for market make remarkable
gains turned into the cornfield.
Don't forget that corn alone, while
1t is the best hog feed, is not suf-
ficient. Many farmers sow rape or
cowpeas or soy beans between the
rows in the summer and by fall they
have good growth of pasture. Rape
Is one of the best crops for this pur-
pose. If conditions are favorable, sow
patch of rape along one side of the
cornfeld in early fall where it won't
be hindered by the shade of the corn
as when sown in the rows. This will
make good growth and give lots of
pasture as well as supplement the
corn in case you hog it down.

NATURAL CRAVING. FOR MEAT
Hens in Confinement Should Be Given
a Regular Supply of Animal Food
of Some Kind.

Hens have natural craving and lik-
ing for animal food. In summer,
when they can roam the fields and
meadows their appetite for animal
food is amply gratified by the finding
and consuming of thousands of worms
and bugs. During the winter months,
if no animal food is supplied, the hen,
If given the chance, will satisfy her
appetite for animal food by eating
eggs. Hens in confinement, and at all
seasons of the year when animal life is
not abundant on the range, should be
regularly supplied with animal food of
some kind. When egg-shells are fed to
hens, they should be very finely crum-
bled. Browning them in the oven will
not destroy their food value, and when
Drowned they crumble easily.

ANIMAL FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Meat-Fed Fowls Make Quicker and,
Cheaper Gains Than Others
Milk Is Good Substitute.

An agricultural investigator, after
a series of tests, has come to the
conclusion that meat-fed chicks make
quicker and cheaper gains than 9TH
ers, regardless of size, and that chicks
started on a ration deficient in ami
NAL food never regain their lost
ground. In some of his own expert
ments he found that hens without
meat generally began laying before
meat-fed hens and maintained their pO-
sition for weeks and even months on
such rations. He concludes that al.
though the work done by most investi-
gators has usually shown a decided SUI
periority for the meat-fed laying hens,
there is sufficient evidence the other
way to warrant further investigation.
In the fattening Of fowls, animal food
has appeared to be essential to the
best results, except when milk has
been used, but of the various sources
there seems to he little preference
aside from convenience or economy.
The substitutes for animal food in
common use are milk, milk albumen,
or dried milk, vegetable sources Of
protein, and bone ash or phosphate
sources. Milk albumen has not gen.
orally given good results. Milk, sour
or otherwise, has given conflicting re-
suits. Vegetable protein when used
under favorable conditions, has often
given as good results as when protein
from animal sources has been used.
Results of feeding bone ash or some
carrier of phosphorus indicate that
some of the advantage that has been
claimed for animal protein may pos
sibly be due to the mineral matter con-
tanned in the meat scrap or cut bone.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-RoOt, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by phyaicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistanee when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
