prepared by the United states Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Every hog that Is killed in transit
due to overcrowding or mishandling
means loss, at present prices, of prob
ably more than $50 to the shipper as
well as a waste of meat needed by the
nation. Mortality in transit or after
arrival at the central market can be
lessened greatly in hot weather by the
practice of the following simple pre-
cautions on the part of shippers and
dealers:
1. When hogs are very hot. during
or after a drive. never pour cold water
over their backs.
2. Before loading, clean out each car
and bed it with sand which, during dry,
hot weather should be wetted down
thoroughly. Hogs In transit during the
night only are not SO likely to be lost
from overheating as are the animals
shipped In the daytime. With day ship
ments In hot weather 1t is highly ad-
visable to suspend burlap sacks Of ice

and, incidentally. to sprinkle the an
finals with cool water. The ice some
times is placed in sacks on the floor,
but the animals are likely to pile and
crowd around the cakes SO that only
those close to the ice are benefited.
The ice should be sufficient to last to
the destination.
8. Do not overload. Crowding hogs
in a car during warm weather is
prolific source of mortality.
4. The feeding Of corn, because Of
its heating effect, before and during
shipment in hot weather, should be re-
duced to q minimum. Oats are prefer
able where a grain feed is necessary.

NEW YORK. Set 31.-Theodore
Roosevelt and William n. Taft have
made joint appeal for the election
of Republican majority in Congress

appeal says:

When this war broke out we would
have welcomed action By the Presi-
dent which would have eliminated all
questions Of party politics. 1t would
have enabled US all to stand behind

thing except national considerations.
| Instead of this partisan lines have
been strictly drawn from the first and
now the President announces that
only Democrats can be entrusted with
! future power and only those Demo
Gratis who do his will. Because Of this
reflection on other patriotic Amert-
cans, we appeal to fair play
