BEST TO AVOID PNEUMONIA
Always Tendency Among Pigs to Pile
Up In Bed for Purpose Of Keeping
Warm In Winter.

During cold weather there Is always
a tendency for pigs to pile up in their
bed for the purpose Of keeping warm.
Then some of them will become heated
up, and when they are routed out and
become exposed to the cold weather
many of them will contract pneumonia.
Once this disease attacks pig it near
ly always causes death. If death does
not ensue. there may be cough, diff
cult breathing and, what is of greater
importance, stunted condition and
dwarfed size that makes rapid and
profitable growth impossible.

Confining a study of stock judging to

foundation for the training of show

lication, but it does not give the train
ing needed by many farmers in the
corn belt and other territory adjacent
to the large markets where feeder
sheep are purchased and fattened. A
knowledge Of types of purebreds grown
in the community is helpful, but 1t Is
important for the farmer to know the
classifications and demands of the mar
ket buyers. This knowledge can be
given to the pupils only by studying
market classes and grades. In each
community instruction which will be
helpful in meeting the practical prob
lens common to the particular form
of the industry practiced in the COM
munity should be given. In cOnnec-

STANDARD MEASURES

A representative of the Federal Blu
reau of Markets complains that in one
city he finds 80 different sizes of berry
baskets. The resultant confusion is
obvious. There are among them many
sizes which may easily be mistaken
for the usual bushel. half-bussel, peck,
gallon, quart and pint measures. They
grade insensibly into one another.
There is nothing in their style, either,
that is any safe index to their ca
pacity.
All the old standards have disap-
peared. A customer never knows how
much he is getting in any given bas-
ket, and often the merchant does not
know. The same uncertainty exists
with regard TO receptaces for various
other kinds of food.
There is a Federal law providing
for standard containers, but ii applies
only to food shipped across state lines.
Most of the states have as yet adopted
no such standards for foodstuffs sold
within their borders. Cities could ac-
complish good deal in the way of
such regulation, but they generally
let the matter drift.
IL is tim that the whole chaotic sys-
tenn was reduced to order and sim
plicity.

TELL MOTHER"
SOLDIERS WORDS

When a wounded soldier is dying,
his last words are usually, Tell
Mother" A last message from a u.
S. Marine who was killed in France
has just come to Washington, for
the 1.-The greatest mother in the
world" Private Edmund B. Rowe, of
the S1st Company, Machine Gun Bat
talon. U. S. Marines, wrote from q
little town in France on July IA, Bas-
tile Day, to an American Red Cross
official, telling him that the soldier
has learned to love that banner as
well as he loves the Stars and Stripes.
IF you could only see," he contin-
ued. "the expressions of comfort and
cheer which your generous donations
bring to the dirty, weary countenan-
ces of recipients, you would feel high
~ remunerated for your outlay of
time, labor and money want the
American people and especially all
members of the Red Cross to know
just how every soldier feels toward
your great organization.
The letter bore this postscript from
Lieut. Bower of the Marines:
1T is with great sorrow that add
these few words. Private Rowe, a
member of my section, was killed in
action several days after he wrote
this and before he had an opportuni-
ty to mail it, He was fine soldier

A BUDGET SYSTEM

After congress gets the big revenue
bill out of the way, and finishes the
job of appropriating more billions
than Great Britain, France and Italy
together have ever appropriated in one
year, maybe the House of Represen-
tatives will be willing to adopt BUSH
ness-like budget system so that it will
know hereafter how much money it is
spending and what the expenditures
are for.
BY a simple resolution, centralizing
the responsibility for appropriation
bills in single committee. the House
could effect reform that would save
il an immense amount of time and
confusion. increasing legislative eff
cheney and saving the country perhaps
several hundred million dollars a year

in the following striking and self-re-
yealing way:

gracious letter, Lieutenant (now Cap

good words to you. l hope I am de-
serving of all these nice things my

up some Jewish boy to say Kaddish.
So it goes.
This life is revealing to US one
