SAVE THE FALL PIGS

The fall pigs are going to be worth
more money this year than ever be.
fore, and everything should be done
from financial, as well as a patriotic
standpoint to raise as many as posi-
BILE to maturity. A pig now is worth
twice as much as it was when pork
was selling for nine cents. The feed
given the brood SOW will have a d.
rect bearing upon the pigs saved. A
good ration for the brood SOW in dry
lot is: corn 10 parts, shorts parts,
bran 3 parts, oil meal or tankage
part. Ear corn may be fed and the
remainder of the ration given in a
thin slop twice day.
Do not let the SOW get too fat. Give
her plenty of exercise while she is
with pigs. Watch for signs of far
rowing and plan to give undivided at
tention to the sow at this time. If
one pig is saved which would other
wise be lost it is time well spent. See
that the pigs do not become chilled and
that they all find teats. Be sure that
the sow is properly housed, that she
has sufficient ventilation and sun
shine, and good clean bedding. Bed
lightly at narrowing time. A guard
rail about six inches from the floor
around the sides of the house so the
pigs can get under it often keeps the
sow from laying on them.
The foregoing ration for the SOW,
if fed dry in small pen which ex-
cludes their mother but gives the
pigs access to it at all times, will
teach the young pigs to eat and will
start them growing. Thrifty pigs can
be raised economically if there it
some forage for pasture. Alfalfa,
clover, rye or blue grass on which to
start before the winter sets in will
make the pigs much more hardy. Win
ter rye should be sown this fall for
pasture during winter and early
spring. A liberal supply of clean
drinking water is very essential. In
the winter, it should be heated to re-
move the chill. Pigs started right in
the fall winter easily. Keep them
coming from the start, is the advice
of l.. E. McGinnis of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture.

PAYING YOUR INDEMNITY

Do you realize how big an under.
taking this Fourth Liberty Loan is
1t is so gigantic that Big Business
alone cannot swing it, that the 7,000,-
900 farmers of American agriculture
cannot carry it, alone, that the wage
Garner and the shop-keepers and the
merchants could not meet it. 1t will
have to be met by US all and we will
have to deny ourselves of things to
which we have been accustomed in
order to meet it.
But it will be easier to pay, far cas-
Ter, than Prussian indemnity. 1t will
fall heavily on the modest incomes, on
the people who are making $1,000 and
$4,000 and 5000 year. AS an in
dication of what it will mean this has
been pointed out: "If those with mod
est incomes of $4,000 and more were
to give to the loan every cent they re-
ceive through three months, and if the
corporations were, in addition, to in
vest in it surplus and amortization
funds up to billion dollars, the loan
would still fall short by about bill
lion dollars.
OF course the people must live and
business must be carried on. But the
plain truth is that while we are saw
ing in this country we are not swing
enough. We are still spending money
on non-essentials. We will be forced
to change our spending habits in Or
der to take care of our part. For tine
loan to succeed means sacrifice. Ev-
cry American ought to bear this in
mind when he is getting ready to make
his subscription.
The first thing to consider is what
he can spare. That goes without say
ing. Then the next thing to consider
is how deeply can he cut into his
standard of living in order to SUBJ
scribe more. That we will all have to
cut deeply if we are to do our share
is certainty.
Something like one-half of the
whole loan must come from actual sac
rifices on the part of those who are
not making big incomes. If the sub
scription was $50 last time it will
need to be doubled this. time. If it
was $500 last time then the sub
scription slip should be signed for
81 900, if it is humanity possible for the
signer to pay out even at the cost of
actual sacrifices.
When the huns came into Belgium,
when they took Serbia, when they en-
shaved Poland and conquered Rumania
they levied an indemnity on these
countries, province by province and
city by city. And they gave no bonds
in return! The methods of collection
were backed by death and imprison-
ment. 1t is easier to meet Liberty
Loan payment than it would be to
meet the demands of the Prussian
backed by his firing squads and his
prisons.

GULL OUT THE
UNNECESSARY HORSES

The maintenance of unnecessary
horses on the farm is a costly prac-
tice at any time. 1t is doubly so now,
because Of the high prices of feeds,
On the average farm, horses and mules
work an average of less than five
hours day throughout the year. Any
other income they can create will re-
duce the cost of operations. There are
two main methods of increasing the
revenue from horses and mules, says
E. A. Trowbridge of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture. First,
brood mares raising colts besides do
ing farm work. If the mares are of
the right kind they are valuable as
set. Second, much farm work can be
done with young horses and mules
that have not yet reached the age at
which they are most valuable. Such
animals as these can well be used for
farm work.
Horses, other than brood mares
which are producing colts, and horses
and mules which are not increasing in
value, should be considered seriously
as property for sale. 1t is possible to
overstock farm with horses. The
equipment should be studied carefully
to see that this is not done. By no
means, however, should farm horse
stock be so depleted as to cripple
farming operations. Good strong
horses and mules are essential for
maximum production.

GOOD ROADS WORTH MONEY

Henry Parke's farm is located on
hard road between Sycamore and &C.
noa in De Kalb county. For the last
year, since his appointment as assist
ant director of agriculture, he has
lived in Springfield, in the heart of the
dirt-road section of Illinois.
"The value of hard roads to the
farmer has been impressed upon me
since | moved down here more than
ever before" Henry says. "Back
home whenever we had rain to keep
us out of the field we would all 20 to
hauling. Practically all my road work
was done in rainy weather when it was
too wet to work in the field. It was
done when men and teams would have
been idle or doing less essential work,
and so cost me very little. A farmer
always has good many business
trips to make, too, and could usual
ly make these at times when the fields
were wet.
"Down here when it rains the farm
ers are cut off from town and from
their neighbors. By the time the
roads are disable the fields are dry
enough to work again. This makes
the hauling compete with the field
work, and increases his expense"
This is one of the soundest argu-
ments for good roads | have seen.
A comprehensive system of year
around hard roads is one of Illinois
greatest needs.-Prairie Farmer.

ENRICHING MISSOURI SOIL

The basic facts which must under
lie the rational enrichment of Missou-
ri soils, according to extensive stu
dies on the outlying soil experiment
fields, of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture are, that many
soils are acid or sour; that phospho-
rus is the limiting plant food element;
and that many soils are becoming de-
ficient in organic matter or humus.
To increase, greatly or even to dou-
BILE the crop yields of this State, will
require only the use of ground lime
stone, of which there are extensive
local deposits; the application of acid
phosphate or some other phosphate
fertilizer; and the production of home
grown organic matter, such as clover,
and other legume crops, and farm
manure,

FOLK FOR SENATOR

The nomination of Joseph w. Foil
by the Democrats of Missouri fol
United States Senator is gratifying
to real Democrats and lovers of gooC
government everywhere.
His record as Circuit Attorney OF
st. Louis where he exposed and pros.
ecuted corruption in official life made
him national figure.
AS Governor of Missouri he put Mis-
souri, in the front rank of the pro-
gressive States by securing the enact
ment of the Initiative and Referen.
DUN, State wide Primary laws, Child
Labor laws. Public Service Corpora
ton laws, by taking the police Of the
large cities out of politics, by sup
pressing gambling, wine rooms and by
enforcing the liquor laws in the face
of the determined opposition of the
powerful brewery and liquor inter-
ests.
These things made the name of
Joseph w. Folk a Synonym for good
government. After the election of
President Wilson, Joseph w. Folk was
made solicitor for the Department of
State. He there became familiar
with those great principles of inter-
national law, the knowledge of which
will enable him to render services in
the Senate in this great international
crisis.
For four years he was Chief Coun-
sci of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and is regarded as one of
the leading experts in America on
transportation questions. In the Sem
ate he will, of course, be a member of
the Interstate Commerce Committee
and will be of tremendous assistance
in solving those transportation ques-
lions which will be so pressing for So
luton during the war and after the
war is ended.
The people of Missouri should elect
Joseph W. Folk to the Senate by the
largest majority ever given a Demo-
cratic candidate in that State. He is
needed in Washington to uphold the
President and to aid him in winning
the war. His election by large ma
jority would be construed everywhere
as an evidence that the people of Mis-
souri, desire to uphold the President at
this time.
No matter how good man the Re-
publican opponent of Governor Folk
may be there should be no hesitancy
on the part of the patriotic citizens
of Missouri of all parties in casting
their votes for Joseph W. Folk, thus
declaring that they favor good govern
ment, the elimination of graft, the en-
forcement of the laws and the uphold
ing of President Wilson.
We urge our friends in Missouri of
all parties to vote for him.-Bryan's
Commoner.
