Never. perhaps, in the history of
American journalism has there been
30 great a demand upon country
Newspapers for free space by really
big firms, chief among which is the
Federal Government. Nearly every
one of it's executive departments has
its quota-and if the average coun-
try weekly attempted to publish one
third of the matter released for
publication by these departments
there'd be absolutely no space left
the publisher in which to air his
views editorially or to dispose of to
his advertisers. We have always
felt that the government should
pay for advertising space at regu-
lar space-rats. 1t would be moth
ing more nor less than the fol-
lowing of business principle large
" adhered to by big corporations
all over the country, and as mat
ter of fact the Federal Government
has no more right to expect free ad-
vertising space at the hands of coun-
try publishers than it has to expect
or ask free transportation of its
troops or supplies at the hands of
the railroad or steamship companies.
Space is the stock and trade of
the newspaper publisher-the sale
of advertising space provides his
bread and butter. and if he were
10 give space. free. to one-third Of
the "stuph" received from the vari-
Gus departments of the government
he would have nothing to sell, and
in little while would find himself
too DOOR and hungry to stand alone.
An annoying source among the
free space grafters is the weekly
"cllt sheet" sent out by the Nation
al LIQUOR Dealers associations head
quarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
There are many others. which are
gradually finding publicity through
the Chamber of Horrors" a de-
nsrtment maintained in its weekly
nublication by the American Press
Association.

stock this is seldom fatal, because the

comparatively short, but in man it

In addition to ailments TO which the
dog itself is subject, it may also he a
carrier of diseases to which it is not
susceptible. This was fully demon
strated during the recent outbreak of
foot-and-mouth disease, when it was
determined beyond doubt that dogs
were responsible in some instances for
the spread of the disease.

1t seems that the term sports

all outdoor life-or at least that sports
clothes will hardly be considered out
of place anywhere out of doors. They
appear to have made for themselves
permanent place.
One of the new fabrics used for
sports suits is shown above. 1t has a
silky crepelike surface, substantial
weight and durability. 1t is one of
several new fabrics, each with a name
of its own, that have made place for
themselves which promises to be en-
during.
In thei suit pictured, the skirt is
made of cross-barred pattern in the
material in which bright colors are de-
fined against plain ground. The
sweater coat has wide shawl collar
of the cross-bar. Very large pearl
buttons fasten the overlapping ends
of the belt. Just now suits of this
kind are worn with plain blouses of
crepe de chine or of linen or fine cot
ton. The vogue of sports clothes
have given colors a wonderful impetus.

Here is a frock of serge, trimmed
with silk braid, that scorns all in

its even rows, of braid, sure of COM

SELF-FEEDERS BEST
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Gains May Be Put on Animals
Rapidly and Economically,
Says Missouri Expert.

(By L. A. WEAVER, Missouri College of
Agricultural
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has demonstrated the fact
that gains may be put on fattening hogs
rapidly and economically by the use
of self-feeders.
Shoats weighing 121 pounds at the
beginning of 60-day feeding period
gained Ito pounds head daily, weigh
ing 22S.9 pounds at the close of the
feeding trial. During this time they
were supplied with corn, shorts, and
tankage, each of these feeds being
placed in a separate self-feeder and the
Shoats allowed to eat as much of each
as they wished. When so fed they
seemed to balance their ration about
as well as could be done by hand feed
ing. The proportion in which the feeds
were eaten are: Corn, 2066 pounds !;
shorts, 1893 pounds; and tankage, 1
pound. The average daily feed con-
sumed per hog was 8.1S5 pounds. The
amount of feed required for each
pound of gain produced was ASS
pounds.
With corn worth 65 cents bushel,
shorts S1.35 per hundred and tankage
$3.50 per hundred it cost $5.68 to
produce 100 pounds of pork.

DOG is TERMED A NUISANCE AND MENACE

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
It has been almost universally con-
coded that the dog is friend to man,
but Bulletin 26O qualities that state
ment somewhat. According to the pub
LEGATION the dog is a true friend to
man only when properly controlled and
cared for.
For at least half century scien-
lists have been insisting that the dog
is responsible to quite an extent for
the spread of many parasites and dis
eases to which stock and even man
are susceptible. 1t is matter of COM
mon knowledge that dogs are subject
to rabies or hydrophobia and that
they in turn may transmit it to other
animals and to persons. Some of the
other diseases and parasites they may
transmit are hydatid, which occurs
both in man ard stock; gid, principal
iy confined to sheep; cysticercus, or
measles, In sheep; tapeworn, round
worm, tongue worm, fleas, and ticks.

IMPORTANT "D0N'TS"
IN BROOD MARE CARE
Regular Exercise Is Essential
and Hard Work Should Be
Avoided-Feed Literally.

(By DIR. c. C. LIPP, South Dakota Agri-
cultural College)
1. Don't fail to provide regular ex-
ercise for the mare heavy with foal.
If there is no regular work, run in
q lot for several hours daily makes a
good substitute.
2. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to do such work as requires short
turning, especially in plowed ground,
deep mud, or snow.
3. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to travel on slippery roads unless
she is well shod.
. A. Don't neglect to feed the brood
mare well. She must eat not only for
her own maintenance, but for the de-
velopment of her foal also.
s. Don't feed he brood mare hay
or straw that contains traces of err
gos. Such precaution may prevent
trouble that fails to yield to medicinal
treatment.

and with reasonable amount Of bed

ding is the best place to keep the
brood mare. If a tie stall is used, it
must be roomy.
7. Don't bed the brood mares stall
excessively. Too much bedding may
cause her to struggle when trying to
get up.
8. Don't confine the brood mare in a
stall that offers place for her head
or legs to get caught, and cause her
to struggle.
8. Don't neglect to disinfect the foal-
ing stall thoroughly few days before
the foal is expected, using seven table
spoonfuls of compound cresol solution
per gallon of water. Neglect of this
may cost the foal's life.
10. Don't give the mare heavy with
foal worm remedy unless advised by
the attending veterinarian.
IL. Don't give the mare heavy with
foal your favorite collie remedy. The
foal is too valuable to risk such treat
ment If the mare has collie, it is wise
economy to call competent veterina-
rian.
II. Don't neglect daily exercise as
a preventive of swollen hind legs that
often appear the last month or six
weeks before foaling.
10. Don't neglect giving her udder
attention. Daily exercise will do more
than medicine to reduce the swollen
and hardened condition that so often
makes it's appearance month or six
weeks before foaling.
II. Don't neglect painstaking care
and the exercise of common sense in
the management of the mare heavy

HOW TO PRESERVE RECORDS?
Question That Is of Importance in its
Influence on Civilization of
the Future.

How to preserve records is q concern
of scholarly article in the Scientific
Monthly for December, in which Prof.
G. E. Vail, writing of "Our Duty to the
Future" considers the perishability of
human documents that disappear amid
earthquakes, volcano eruptions, del
uges and the quieter action of the ele-
ments Paper falls apart, stone crum-
bles, glass wears away, iron is short
lived, clay is easily shattered; no
ideally resistant material is in use.
Past civilizations are little known to
us because of the instability of their
records. Our duty clearly is to leave
records of the greatest possible per-
manency if the medium can be found.
What shall be devised to transmit
historical data, our records. phonO-

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice, points out
Ray Gatewood, instructor in animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"Much experimenting has been done
along this line" said Mr.. Gatewood,
''and practically all experiment sta
lions have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
"With most feeds, cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting in a
larger amount of feed being required
to produce a given amount of
gain. This raises the expense of pro-
duction and cuts down the producer S
profits.
"Some feeds used in certain locali-
ties such as potatoes, field peas, and
roots-have their palatability improved
and their water content lowered
by cooking, which results in a
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds in Kan
sas. Cooking requires special APP
