The whole theory under which intel ligent, effective and systematic CO., operation between the different rail- ways had been made impossible for merly was thrown into the scrap heap"
 Continuing further he said:
 There is no limit to the zeal of many politicians and others when it is a question of taxing business and business men, especially those guilty of success. Yet the farmers. rela- lively, perhaps, even more than the city men have been guilty of great prosperity. We cannot help wonder ing whether it has occurred to those who are so rigorous that no business profit shall escape the tax gatherer to ponder the fact that, according to the latest detailed income tax returns the farmer is but small contributor.
 ''The individualism we believe in," he added, "gives incentitives to every man to put forth his best efforts, while at the same time it recognizes fully the right and the duty of the state to impose upon business reason able supervision, restraints and regu- lations to prevent exploitation, and op- pression of the weak by the strong and to debar privileges and unfair or socially harmful practices"

| Agriculture)
| The destruction of vermin Is Of i'm
portance In the. production of swine.
Practically all swine are infested to a
certain degree with the common hog
louise, and unless the animals are freed
from this pest 1t is apt to retard their
growth. Although lice may not be the
| direct cause of death, still their pres
ence lowers the vitality Of the hog and
predisposes him to attack from infec-
tious diseases. One of the first req
ulsites in preventing an outbreak Of
cholera is to put the hogs In as perfect
a physical condition as possible, and 1t
Is also obvious that the animals should
be In perfect health in order to fatten
rapidly and economically.
Common Swine Pests.
Lice are common pests among swine,
and vigorous and persistent treatment
Is required to eradicate them. The
farmer should frequently examine his
hogs about the ears, TANKS, and insides
of the legs to see II they are lousy.
The lice may be readily seen travelling
among the bristles, particularly in the
parts just mentioned. The eggs, or
"nits," are small white oval bodies at
tached to the brlstles. Dipping does
not as rule destroy the vitality of
these eggs. Swine should be dipped
repeatedly in order to kin the lice that
hatch out of the eggs after the previ-,
Gus dipping. These lice are blood
sucking parasites, and by biting the
hog and sucking blood they cause
great deal of skin Irritation. Further
more, they act as drain on the vital
ity of the hog. through the loss of blood
which they abstract. When lousy the
hog is usually restless and rubs on
posts and other convenient objects.
The coat looks rough and harsh. This
pest Is transmitted from one animal to
another by direct contact, or by con-
tact with infected bedding or quarters.
Mango, one of the most common of
skin diseases, is caused by a mite
which feeds on the skin. 1t Is much
more common and severe on young
stock than on the older animals, al.
though the mature animals as well as
the young are likely to become affected
If the disease Is introduced into the
herd. Mange Is characterized by the
formation of crusty scabs on the face
and neck and along the back, and in Sc
we're cases the mite may be found on
any part of the body. The hair is stiff
and erect giving the pig q very un-
thrifty appearance.
All newly purchased stock should
be examined for lice and other skin
diseases, and If any are found the hog
should be treated before he is turned
with the rest Of the herd.
Dipping to Destroy vermIn.
To free hogs from vernin they
should be dipped two or more times at
Intervals of about two weeks, prefer
