HOW'LL AND DRY GOODS CO.

hotels and restaurants, when cooked before being used makes an excellent feet.
 The value of skim milk as a hog. feed is known on every farm though not always fully ppreciated. In the neighborhood of many large dairies pork production is a very prominent mad lucrative supplement to the dairy industry.
 To prevent tuberculosis. all milk products should be cooked before fed to hogs. To control hog cholera, use sanitary precautions and anti-hog cholera serum treatment.
 Give your hog every chance to be- come meat.
 The hog is also a large factor in cheapening the production of beef. Hogs are placed in the cattle feed lots to utilize the corn and other feeds the cattle have failed to digest and which otherwise would be wasted. Hogs following steers in many cases have increased the profit per steer by from s6 to $9. Hogs should not be allow ed to follow dairy cattle unless the cattle are tuberculin tested.
 Disease, such as cholera. has been taking smaller toll the past season than in recent years; more pure bred and high-gra hogs are available than ever before; prices of hogs are now past the 16-cent level; demand for pork for home consumption and for export is keen. All of which means that the farmer who does not raise hogs is losing a chance to in- crease the supply of pork and thus serve the country and at the same time expand profitable phase of farming.

THINK PROVISIONS COMMANDER BILL
 ARE TOO DRASTIC
Measure Giving President Sweeping Authority to
 Be Toned Down.

Washington, Feb. 12.--Commlttea Consideration of the administration bill authorizing the commandeerins of ships and shipbuilding facilities in emergencies developed today th< <st some of the more drastic provisions Of the measure probably will be re- drafted before it is called up for final passage.
 Chairman Denman and Theodore Brent of the shipping board, which drafted the bill and sent it to con- gress with the presidents approval, Y, appeared today before both the sen ate and house committees, and gave it as their opinion that the authoriza- ton carried by the measure might be made less sweeping without impair" ing it's strength to any great degree. They stated that they had conferred with shipbuilders and with foreign in terests having vessels built in this country, and explained that they were anxious not to embarrass any per- sons who contemplate building ships which will be operated under the American flag.

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Strength de- veloped in the wheat market today, largely on account of reports Of the departure of 38 merchant ships from the Virginia Capes, bound for Europe and conveyed by speedy British cruis- CTS. Favorable weather conditions for more efficient operating by the railroads tended further 10 encour- age the bulls. IL was asserted also that the belligerents now needed food more urgently than powder and shells, the chances of adequate trans portation facilities for grain were likely 10 continue to improve. Opan- ing prices, which ranged from 102c higher, with May at SLIGO 1.77 and July at $1.5tM 1.52, were followed by something Of a reaction, but then a fresh upturn.
 Subsequently,, gossip of a wide spread movement to renew agitation for an embargo on fOodstuff exports counted as a depressing factor in the market. The bearish sentiment was increased by guesses regarding the probable course of the government in dealing with the German naval prob lem. The close was unsettled, 3-4W 1c net lower, with May at $1.13@ l. l4 and July at $1.4S@1.4S 3-8.
 The late weakness in the wheat market operated as blight on corn prices. Country offerings increased. The close was nervous at 3-4G lc net decline.
