The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-02-15

Never mind about democracy in the world; let's restore
it to this country, together with free speech and a few other
kinds of feedom-such was the burden Of one speech in the
United States senate the other day, and the good Lord knows
that the time has come for us to have our declaration of in
rewritten. So far as Europe is concerned, what
business is it of ours whether they have Manuel sitting on a
raised platform in Portugal or a lot of scurvY politicians
fighting over the spOls?

General Garabaldi, the Italian commander, a grandson of
the famous general of the past, thinks that the peace con-
ference has already made one irreparable mistake, that of
engaging in debates with the Bolsheviki. He says that people
who put rape and murder and robbery and incendiarism in
their government are not entitled to any consideration and
they should not be consulted. That seems like a sensible
conclusion, but suppose that kind of people are for the time
being actually directing the affairs of a great nation?

"If one wants to get an idea of railroad management by
politicians" says an Indiana editor, lust step into the local
union ticket office and see the two stingy holes through
which business must be CURLY transacted instead of the old
time liberal way of big openings and sOlicitous courtesies."
There is a difference and it is enough to chill many people
and to disgust some others. But the government through its
two-by-four men thinks that what it does is just right and
that to criicise their ways is akin to disloyalty or lese ma
jest6-a something that we have as much of in the gold old
I. S. A. now as they have even in Germany.

You sometimes hear of Henry Whte-you may not know
it or be able to recall it, but he is a member of the peace
commission, as being a Republican by presidential brevei.
By brevet in the army they mean that you almost got there
or got there a little too late, and so they give you the title
ANYWAY. And so we assume Mr.. White is a Republican.
But what Republican leader, or what group of Republican
leaders. would have selected him as representative of Repub-
lican view or policy?

FEEDING new CORN TO STOCK
Not Safe for Hogs and MuIes-liabIe
to Produce Disorders-0ive
Hogs Minerals.

New corn is not safe grain for
work horses and mules, as it is liable
to produce collie and Indigestion. II
It must be fed, feed only the dryest
ears, not more than four or six ears
at each meal. A small quantity of
salt should be sprinkled on each feed.
A better and safer method is to feed
half corn and half oats.
If green corn Is fed to hogs, the
safest plan Is to feed the entire stalks
with the ears on the stalks. Feed
small quantities at each meal; spread
the corn out in the feed lot so that
each one will get its full share.
Keep full supply Of wood and
coal ashes, burnt wood and corn-cob
charcoal under cover in the feeding
pens, so the hogs can help themselves.
These minerals are useful in correct
ing the acidity Of the green fodder and
corn.

VALUE OF ACRE OF ALFALFA
Result Of Interesting Experiment Con-
Quoted on Kansas Agricultural
College Farm.

Experiments conducted on the Kan
sas agricultural college farm have
shown that ITO pounds of green alfalfa.

100 pounds Of corn. Six pounds Of
corn was necessary to produce pound
Of pork, SO the ITO pounds Of alfalfa
produced 16 2-3 pounds Of pork. Esti-
mating that during the season an acre
of alfalfa will yield 10000 pounds Of
green hay, this, II cut and fed green
with corn, would make 1000 pounds Of
pork. Figuring this pork at the pre-
vailing price will give some idea Of
the value Il an acre Of alfalfa.

used to consume various unmarketable
substances. The value of milk Is
known on every farm although 1t may
not be fully appreciated, and any one
who has fed pigs knows the keen
appetite they have for milk and its
products. In the neighbOrhoOd Of
many large dairies pork production
has become very prominent and lu-
crative supplement to the dairy indus
try. The hog is also large factor in
cheapening the production of beef.
Hogs are placed In the cattle feed
lots to utilize the corn and other feeds
which the cattle have failed to digest
and which otherwise would be wasted.
Hogs following steers in many cases
have increased the profit per steer by
So to 50. Farmers and hotel and res
taurant owners are using kitchen
refuse to produce salable pork. In
fact, as consumer Of by-prOducts the
hog has no rival.
However, this propensity in many in
stances Is being taken unfair advan-
tage Of through ignorance and lack Of
care. Milk products, animal offal, etc.,
which contain disease germs, es-
pecially those of tuberculosis, are
given to hogs. This practice not only
results In spreading disease but causes

condemnation at slaughter. All such
products should be effectively sterilized
