COMFORTABLE HOGS
MAKE LARGE GAINS
No Farm Animal Suffers as Much
From Extremes of Heat and
CoId-Provide Shade.

Farm animals must be comfortable
In order that they do as well as pos
sible. This is especially true Of swine,
since no farm animal suffers as much
from extremes Of heat and cold as the
hog. Most'men prefer to feed hogs in
the spring and fall, for they say the
hogs gain more at these times on the
same feeds than during summer and
winter. This Is perhaps In a large
measure true only because they are
more comfortable.
L. A. Weaver Of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture men,
tions some Of the things which may be
done to make fattening hogs comfort
able:
1. Provide adequate shade. If the
hog lot does not contain plenty of ma
tural shade, then artificial shade
should; be; supplied. Hog cots, made
so as to have at least one removable
side, would be good to use at this
time, or shade may be made by setting
four ordinary fence posts so that they
may be covered with planks or canvas.
2. Provide plenty of pure drinking
water. This may, be, cheaply and sat,
isfactorily done with barrel waterer,
If an adequate supply cannot be had
otherwise. Two or three pounds Of wa
ter are stored In the animal body for
every pound of muscle added, hence
the necessity and economy Of furnish
ing plenty Of water to drink. Most
feeders realize the Importance of sup
plying plenty Of drinking water, but 1t
oftentimes is an easy thing to neglect.
Some think If they are feeding slop
that enough water Is supplied. The
water in the slop, Of course, helps to
supply the water requirement, but the
hogs should have access to additional
water.
3. Keep pools or wallows clean.
Clean pools or wallows keep the hogs
comfortable, permitting rapid and eco
nomic gains. This does not mean,
however, that any kind of q wallow
is good, for water which Is stagnant
and filthy may keep the hogs cool, but
the evil results from unsanitary con-
dltlons may more than overbalance
the good derived from the protection
from heat.
4. Keep hogs free from lice, by dip
ping, spraying or by putting hog dip In
wallows.
5. Keep sleeping quarters free from
dust, which irrltates bronchial tubes,
lungs and other organs. This may be
done by spraying with crude oil. No
hog can thrive II 1t is continually
coughing and wheezing.
6. Keep hogs free from worms. Re-
cipes of some good worm remedies
may be found in Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, Circular II, Columbia,
Mo.
The foregoing measures are not usu-
ally expensive, but they are essential

silk Is sometimes doctored to such a
degree that there Is little of the pure

REGISTER JUNE 5
President SETS Date for Con.
soription Registration

Henry Chinn, Arthur Knutson
and ]. D. Conan, who will have
charge of the CONSUMPTION registra-
ton in the voting precincts of the
city are getting, affairs in shape to
handle the work on June 5th, the
date set by President Wilson for
the registration of all men between
the ages of Fl and 80 years.
Everyone between these ages
will be obliged to register on that
day. Physical deformities or being
unable to speak English will be no
excuse ard being out of the city
will not 60. Failure to answer
promptly the questions put by the
registrar will mean that the party
being registered will be passed and
a notation made on his papers that
he refuses to answer the questions
asked. Each man on being
registered will be handed a regis
tration card which he will be
obliged to carry and produce if
called upon to do so by officers,
the sheriff or police.
Every voting precinct in the
country will register on the same
day. If you do not register on
that day there be only one man
who can handle your case then.
That man will be the sheriff and he
will be authorized to inhict some
pretty severe penalties on those
who fail to do their duty on the
5th. Interpreters will be on hand
for those who cannot speak
English.
Those in charge of the registra-
ltion inform us that only one day is
| allowed for registration. Every
body between the ages of FL and
80 is compelled to register whether
citizen of the country or an alien.
Those who are compelled to be
away on the registration day are
compelled to make an affidavit be-
fore the county auditor which will
be forwarded to their place OF
residence and registered. In order
to make this not so much of a
hardship, the county auditor has
designated a deputy at Virginia
before whom this affidavit can be
made.

Buhl. Our aspiring neighbor on
the ,Mesaba. has evil designs on
our base ball honors and will be
here next Sunday and promises to
take home the bacon. They are
coming with strong bunch of

propose to get away with glory.
The Ely boys are not of that kind
and propose to give Bull some
thing to do in annexing the game

At any rate. Buhl promises to
arrive with a chip on its shoulder
and accompanied by the band and
a large contingent of rooters. The
game will be called at 2:30 and the
admission will be Csc for every
body. This does not exempt the
lady fans. AS neither team has
lost a game for the season, this one
will be for blood.
Everybody turn out and help the
boys win. On the attendance will
depend in a great measure the
securing of Duluth. Superior, Hib-
bing, Chisholm and Virginia for
games. We have team that
needs take no back seat for any of
them and it is up to US to lend
them our moral as we'll as financial
support. The advertising town
receives by having good ball
team is worth hundred times the
amount of money invested. The
best part of the whole thing is that
our boys are all employed here and
have steady positions and are not
paid solely for playing ball. Hence
victory means strictly Ely and
Winton victory.

 Tt is my opinion,' said Senator Lewis, that the House of Hohenzol- dern would rather have peace upon the terms of the Allies and retain power than to have a peace which would put it out of power and be suc- ceeded by another power.''
 Senator Borah suggested that the United States would be doing a favor to mankind if it stayed in the fight long enough to insure breakdown of the German government.
 Senator McCumber questioned Sen ator Lewis about the future of Turkey in Europe. Senator Lewis suggested that the board of adjusters represent in all the warning countries, suggested by himself, would be made up of Christians by large majority and that they would look to the safeguard ing of Christians in Turkey
