BY ERNEST ]. HOPKINS.

Farmers of the far west. in that
singularly direct way of farmers,
have suddenly begun to act on the
theory that government is put here to
protect sthe prOpertieS and privileges
of the plain people-including farmers.
They are starting to make things
hum. The echoes will ring in WASH
ington and be heard across the Pa
cific.
Western farmers, like Eastern have
for years been politically pessimistic.
They have been unorganiZed and in
active. Now something has happened.
II you go through the great central
valley of California, this is what YOU
will hear farmers saying:
Nothing Is more important than
food. We produce the food of the
world. 1t is up to, the government,
state and national. to fix things right
for American food producers"
And so the Fourteen Counties Pro-
tectiYe Association, composed of
farmers throughout region as large
as the State of Illinois, has started 10

Lately Governor Stephens of Cali
fornia received communication from
the Association, requesting that il he
calls e special legislative session on
the woman-suffrage Amendment, he
will include japanese and Hindu land=
legislation in-the call. y
If this fails-and President Van Ber-
nard of the Association has received n
non-committal reply-the farmers have
another card up their sleeves. They
have announced that they will draw

JUST A FEW LEFT.

The campaign for the suppression of
prostitution, which is essential to the
eradication of venereal disease. has
been so successful that only five seq.
regated districts have been left in the
United States Public Health Service.
Twenty-Five States in which red
light districts flourished have perma-
nently closed houses of prostitution in
over 100 cities. In most of the States
not included in this list there were
no houses of prostitution or official"
rel light districts. To reopen these
or any red light district should be
classed as a disloyal act.
In fact it 10 disloyal to the govern
ment and the innocent women and
children Of our country. They shall
not open,'' should be the slogan.
The States which have practically
suppressed open prostitution are:

READY-MIxED HOG FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The breeder should use his own mind
and judgment in mixing the percentage
Of his feed for hogs. He can find all
the tables in Henry & Morrison's Feeds
and Feeding and in his agricultural
college bulletins; and If he has the IA
cilities can arrange and balance q ra-
ton on the basis prescribed. He would,
however, save himself great deal Of
time and labor and get more exact re-
suits should he ask the state feed in
spection department for its published
lists Of all mixed feeds registered in
the state, and choose those ready to
feed which will meet his requirements.
He will find it to his advantage to
know the game. He must use his own
noodle in determining the quantities
of each feed for each lot of pigs at diff
ferent times during their growing pc
riod.
Professor Evvard says: 'The young
growing pig weighing 30 to 60 pounds
should eat about one pound Of protein
for every four pounds Of carbohy-
drates.

BAD TEETH CAUSE
BIG ECONOMIC LOSS

A thoughtful business man and
farmer, who has observed the almost
universal neglect of the teeth by
many farm folk and who has suffered
from the inefficiency which bad teeth
produce among working people, writes
as follows:
81 feel that few of US realize the
amount of time that is lost, to say
nothing of the suffering that is caused
these people from neglected teeth"
Our friend is entirely correct, how
ever. 1.-The loss in efficiency, time and
suffering from bad teeth by the masses
of country people is a tremendous
one, which might be largely prevent
ed. AS a matter of economy, the ma
ton, state or community could well
afford to pay for the service required
and save money on the investment.
When we started out to pick two
or three millions of our best young
men to make soldiers out of them we
not only rejected some because of the
bad condition of their teeth, but we
also sent dentists with every unit to
repair and maintain in the best pos
sible condition the teeth of those who
were in every way sound and healthy.
Why this care on the part of the
Government regarding the teeth of
our soldiers? To maintain sound,
healthy men, able to stay well and
fight strong. A soldier, unfit for serv-
ice, because of Indigestion, rheuma-
tism, or any other of the many dis
eases produced or aggravated by bad
teeth, is an economic loss. 1t costs
more to maintain a sick man~than a
well one in any walk of life.
If, then, it is sound practice and
economical to give careful attention
to the teeth of our soldiers, why is it
not sound economy to preserve the
health and efficiency of the citizen in
civil life, by giving the same ssist-
ance to those who through lack of
knowledge of it's importance will not
give attention to their own teeth?
Some attempt has ben made to
guard the health, and as one feature,
to look after the teeth, Of the chill
dren in some Of our schools; but as
a rule this has been confined to the
children of the city schools. These
children generally need help along
these lines less than the children Of
the country, because they come ii
closer contact with dentists and doc
tors, who largely live in the cities and
towns. AS in many other lines, those
most in need of such service have not

"When the pig reaches 100 pounds
in weight, about one pound Of protein
to FIVE pounds Of carbohydrates is cor
rect.
AT $50 pounds it should be increas-
ed; for each pound Of protein six
pounds Of carbohydrates.
"The fairly well-grown hog, 24O to
300 pounds, in fattening will do well
on one pound Of protein to eight
pounds Of carbohydrates"
After listing the various feeds and
combinations Of feeds used In extern
sion hog feeding tests at Iowa agri-
cultural college, Professor Evvardsays
Each buttermilk hog drank 80 pounds
of buttermilk, ate less than half as
much Of the 50 corn, only one-third
as much of the 800 tankage, only two
thirds as much of the $55 middlings,
and actually reached a weight of 296
pounds some 60 days before the hog
without buttermilk did"
So it would seem that buttermilk Is
one Of the best hog feeds. Where 1t
is not freshly available 1t may be had
in dried powder form. There are
ten pounds of solids in every hundred
pounds of liquid buttermilk. The rest
is water.

that the cost of labor and bagging
has gone up during the last year
and suggested an increase in the
charge for cotton ginning as the only
way to keep the gins of the state on
a paying basis. Last year the gin
ners charged seventy cents for gin
ming 100 pounds of lint cotton; it was
the belief of the convention Thursday
that the price will have to be raised
ten cents hundred pounds. This
probable increase can not be decided
until after sessions of the Cotton Gin
ners' associations of the various dis
tricts. The seventh district ginners

been reached until very recently.
Now the state of North Carolina is
making a determined effort to look
after the teeth of country school chill
dren as carefully as the teeth of
country school children as carefully
as the teeth of city school children
have been looked after. We hope
this movement will spread until every
Southern state does its duty in this
respect.-Progressive Farmer.

TRACTOR FOR FLOWING

Tractors are finding their most ser.
viceable use in blowing. When the
soil is dry and hard and it is imprac.
ticable to use horses, tractors can be
used. Depth of blowing is no OBJ
stacle and their daily hour service is
limited only by the endurance of
the driver. In rush season, the op-
orator can pillow from daylight till
dark, and if lights are provided, until
the next morning. Heavy draft horses
are very expensive to feed and the
drivers wages add to the expense
