new confused and disjointed activities

values of both gymnastics and athletics
are we'll understood, but both lack
comprehensive and unifying motive.
All systems of gymnastics are individ-

sire of the individual for physical per-
lection. Competition is narrowly in
dividualistic. Systems of athletics are
mostly based upon group competitions,
and if properly managed are very
valuable, not only for physical develop

cludes these motives and subordinates
them to the ideal of patriotism"

Making the Little

By c. c. BOwSFIELD

Farmers have had long period of

from disease has been comparatively
light for two years, and while this is
the case the profits are satisfactory.
as market prices are high.
Science has come to the aid Of stock
owners in protecting hogs from chol-
era. This already tells in the greater
immunity of swine from disease. An
other fact which counts favorably is
that farmers are more generally pro-
viding their hogs with good pastur
age. Pigs are field animals much more
decidedly than was formerly known.
They need clean water. clean range
and leguminous pasture. With these
essentials and the ordinary grain ra-
lions they will grow into money fast
er than almost any other farm product.
Hogs are adapted to the needs of
small farmers. While they must have
pasture in order to thrive, field of
five acres is sufficient for 100 growing
porkers. This number will clear ST.
