if any, might be in some kind of leg
al form. The names of those writ
ten above were selected by Captain
Meyer who said he would at once
write to them-not as members of
the County Council of Defense, for
neither of us knew these men were
members of that body. We discussed
the situation at length. and while l
discouraged the investigation from
a Federal standpoint urged the ne
cessity of the utmost secrecy on the
part of all concerned that, in case no
evidence was found no injustice
might be done to any one. To this
he agreed and said he would seal
their lips effectually.
l next heard of the matter a week
or ten days after when Captain Meyer
advised me he had received the re-
port and was sure there was a VIOLA
ton of Federal law, hence had SUBJ
mitted the matter to United States
Attorney WOODBURY. and had again
warned those who made the investi-
cation to remain silent until called
upon by him.
Later Mr.. WOODBURY. informed me
that no Federal law had been violated.
Captain Meyer then took the matter
up with the Attorney General of the
State Of Nevada with the result that
a Special Assistant to the Attorney
General was appointed to try the
matter under the State law.
Out Of these facts certain persons
in Eureka have built a fabric which
they style proof of a conspiracy on
the part of those selected by Captain
Meyer to make a confidential inves-
tigation and to say nothing of it to
any man.
This alleged conspiracy, instead of
being political trickery was the loyal
obedience of loyal citizens to orders
given them by an officer of the Uni
ted States Army; and among those
who are loudest in their clamor of
conspiracy are some membery of the
County Council of Defense of Eureka
County. Would these members Sc
lected for loyal service to their coun-
try advocate soldiers refusing to obey
their officers because an election was
going on at home. The members of
that Investigating body were not vol
u%nteers, they YER picked from the
ranks because Of their fitness for the
task and the result proves the wisdom
of their selection. Captain Meyer
has gone to the front, he can wish.
for nothing better than that the men
under his command obey his orders
as did that little quartette of loyal
citizens in Eureka who, without at
tempting defense allowed themselves
to be slandered rather than disobey
orders. Imagine soldiers in the
trenches criticising. their comrades
for obeying orders to 90 over the
top. Consider these things and don't

PERSONAL ATTENTION TO
PIGS WILL REDUCE
HIGH MORTALITY.

Faithful. personal attention to
the sows at narrowing time, even
though it means long hours Of
hard work by day and by night,
is the only assurance that the
1918 war litters can be made to
reach the necessary high aver
age. The hog grower who is on
the job at this season will be
able to save the lives Of many
pigs that might otherwise perish
In passing through the hazards
of the first few days. In ex-
tremely cold weather the pigs
will be In danger Of chilling un-
less the hog house Is heated.
To remedy this, place a few
heated bricks in the bottom Of
basket or small box. Cover
with chaff or straw and put a
cloth over the top to keep In
the heat. Unless the sow OBJ
jects too seriously the pigs may
be rubbed dry with a soft cloth
and placed In a receptacle as
fast as they arrive. The de-
tails of attention which the SOW
and the pigs need at farrowing
time are set forth In a recently
} revised publication Of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agri-
! culture. "Swine Management"

PIG WEARS A ScANT COAT;
PROTECT HIM FROM COLD.

1t is still hard for many farm
ers to get rid Of the notion that
anything is good enough for
hogs, yet there is no animal on
the farm which requires better
protection from the cold than
the hog; none for which good
bed is more necessary; and none
so much In need of sunshine as
the little pig. The horse and
the cow have good coats Of hair
even a calf or colt left In the
cold is provided with q good
fur coat; the hens feathers are
the best of protection against
low temperature, but the hog
has almost nothing between his
skin and the weather. One Of
the first requisites for success
with hogs is a shelter where
young pigs can be kept warm
and well supplied with sunshine
and fresh air. A little pig takes
cold very easily and recovers
slowly If at all. To prevent TAX
ing cold he must be kept dry.
warm. away from drafts and
provided with fresh air. There
Is a publication Of the United
States department Of agricul-
ture which tells how to provide
quarters that will give hogs,

Every owner Of brood SOW. wheth-
er he lives on large farm and has
many, or whether he is a suburbanite
and owns one. should feel personal
responsibility to see that the pig lit
ters born this spring are received
with the utmost care. That means the
matter Of providing proper housing
for the brood sows, and their young
should have immediate attention. Saw
ing every pig possible In order that
one Of the most urgent war needs of
the nation--more pork-can be sup
piled, should be the aim Of every man
who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pigs In some parts Of the country can
be materially reduced II proper hous-
Ing and feed are provided for the sows.
Investigations of the mortality among
pigs on the reclamation projects show
that approximately one-thlrd Of the
pigs born die before reaching the wean-
ing age. Losses on several northern
projects last season were even above
this average because Of a severe sea-
son. According to one investigation
which covered about fifty herds, repre-
senting $50 brood sows, the average
loss was about 80 per cent. while some
farmers lost 80 TO 70 per cent Of the
pigs.

down upon the stagings, swinging him

an inadequate flag Of truce as he fell
on the doorstep.
After that, all things were curlously

him Of his clothes with the reckless
slashings OF knife.
Protesting feebly and trying to rise,
he saw the working yard filled with
armed men and the returning throng
Of laborers; saw Colonel Baldwin and
Williams talking excitedly to the sher-

neer and beckoned eagerly with his

both before and after the pigs are
born.
1t has been found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms where
the housing facilities are poor. In
one Investigation It was learned that
where good hog houses were used,
the average number Of pigs raised In
litter was 5K, while on farms where
the housing was poor the average num-
Der reared from each litter was only
3 lilo. The average saving, therefore
where good houses were used, amount
ed to more than two pigs to the litter.
There are many kinds Of satisfac-
tory hog houses which can be built at
comparatively low cost. Anyone Of
these will soon pay for itself In the In
creased number Of pigs saved. Both
the individual house and the colony
hog house have place on the hog
farm. Both give very satisfactory re-
suits II they are properly constructed.
II only one can be had the colony
house usually is to be preferred, es-
pecially where large number of sows
are to be kept. The farrowing period
usually extends over several weeks II
there are many sows. In such cases
each pen In the house may be used for
two or more sows during the period.
