II is to the interest of farmers huv-
ing hogs to be finished either for mar
ket or butchering this winter to get
them ready In the quickest and most
economical way, since the prices of
feedstuns are So high. This can best
be done by putting the hogs on n self
feeder with corn In one compartment
and either tankage or cottonseed meal
In the other. A self-feeder is nothing
more than n hopper, which allows the
feed 10 come down as needed 10y the
hogs. and Mt the same time prevents
waste, us h is necessary for the feed
already down To be eaten away before
any more comes down. These feeders
can be made ON almost any farm out Of

are only u few hogs to be frI They

Food for Italians In Alpine Fighting Is

in the Alpine fighting against the in
vadcrs. The kitchens are oftentimes
1000 feet below the men, writes an
Italian correspondent, yet the sol
diers get their meals steaming hot.
Aerial tramways are the only
thing that makes the brilliant defense
Of the Italians possible, for without
warm food and drink constantly ar
irving they would be unable 10 with
stand the cold in their high posts
where they command vital passes
and hold the invaders back.
II is impossible for the troops on
these high lodges to have fires, lack
Of space and secrecy making a stove
or smoke impractical. The cooking
therefore is begun far below in
kitchens, finished in thermos bottles
and freless cookers that bear the
food aloft.
Huge cuts Of meat and thick vege-
table stews are placed over roaring
fires down at the timber line where
there is fuel in plentitude and then
before finished put into vessels which
apply the thermos principle so that
by the time they have reached their
destination high overhead they will
be cooked through and palatable.

At this time of the year people feel

they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against Ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

WILSON'S MESSAGE
To RUSS SOV|EIS
EXPRESSES SYMPATHY OF OUR
PEOPLE WITH RUSSIA IN HER
FIGHT WITH GERMANY.
President Indicates Purpose Of United
States to Disregard Hard Terms
Imposed by Huns and Stands
Ready to Help Russia.

Washington.--On the eve Of the
gathering at Moscow of the Russian
congress of soviets, which is to pass
judgment on the German made peace
accepted by the Bolshevih at Brest-
Litovsk, President Wilson has sent a
message of sympathy to the Russian
people through the congress, with
pledge that the United States will avail
itself of every opportunity to aid them
in driving out autocracy and restoring
Russia to her place in the world with
complete sovereignty and independ-
ence.
The United States now recognizes
no government in Russia, but the pres
ident cabled his message to the Ameri-
can consul at Moscow for delivery to
the congress, which is made up Of sol
dieis' and workmen's representatives
and speaks for at least q considerable
part of the Russian people. The mes
sage made public on March IL, by the
state department, was as follows:
"May / not take advantage OF the
meeting of the congress of the soviets
| to express the sincere sympathy which
| the people of the United States feel
| for the Russian people at this moment
when the German power has been
| thrust in to interrupt and turn back
| the whole struggle for freedom and
| substitute the wishes of Germany for
the purpose of the people of Russia.
Although the government of the
United States is, unhappily, not now
in a position to render the direct ana
effective aid it would wish to render,
1 beg to assure the people of Russia
through the congress that 1T will avail
itself of every opportunity to secure
| for Russia once more complete sover'
eighty and independence in her own
affairs and full restoration to her great
role in the life of Europe and the mod
ern world. The whole heart of the
people of the United States is with the
people of Russia in the attempt to free
themselves forever from autocratic
government and become the masters OF
their own life.
| (Signed)
"WOODROW WILSON"
Thus in his first formal word To
Russia since that revolution-torn couh
try under the leadership of the Boil
sheviki deserted the allied cause, the
president indicates the purpose OF the
United States to disregard the HARD
terms upon which the German ano
Austrian war loads have promised

an accounting upon very diiferen'
