SPECIALIZE IN FEEDER HOGS
One Hundred Carloads Of Cholera.
Free Animals Shipped Annually
From South Dakota.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Feeder hogs, perfect as to specifica-
ton and designed to satisfy the most
discriminating purchaser, are exported
annually from the Belle Fourche
reclamation project, South Dakota.
Approximately 100 carloads of cholera
free and alfalfa-raised porkers are
shipped each season. The output for
the last few years has been purchased
by Nebraska farmers who fatten and
condition the hogs for the central mar
kets. A special advantage about such
shipments is that the animals need
not be held in quarantine while vacci-
mated to satisfy the requirements of
interstate shipment, and the purchaser
does not have to bear added expenses,
such as yardage and feed costs, which
he woul1 have to pay If he bought lis
stock hogs on the central market.

ers Long Ago Lifted Their Voices
Against Drunkenness.

Temperance movements and prohibi-
years. 1t was China that first tried
to be bone-dry. Early reforms along
temperance lines are attributed to the
priests of India and Persia. But the
Chinese claim that in the eleventh CEN
fury before Christ their emperor, SO
disguised over the prevalence Of drunk
enness. ordered all the grapevines in
the kingdom uprooted.
A hundred years before this bone
dry effort. in the twelfth century be-
fore Christ, King Wen tried partial re-
form in China. Wen. founder of the
Chou dynasty, promulgated an "An-
nouncement Against Drunkenness" ac-
'cordlng to ancient Chinese documents
handed down by Confucius.
King Wen declared drinking has
long been national vice." He or
dered that wine be used only in con-
nection with sacrifices-and even then
drunkenness was not to be tolerated.
The temperance reforms also ex-
listed in Egypt centuries before Christ.
Here's what teacher said to youth
who had been looking upon the flowing
bowl too freely:
Drink not beer to excess. The
words that come out of thy mouth

KEEP BEEF CALVES GROWING

prepared by the United States Depart

Beef calves on pasture should be
kept in thrifty, growing condition.
If the pasture becomes short the cows
should be fed, otherwise the develop
ment of the calves may be checked.
Ensilage, If available, is the cheapest
and best feed. Good hay is an excel
lent supplementary feed, and cows.
even on a fairly good pasture, seem
to relish a small quantity of dry feed.
Soy beans, cow peas, or other pasture
crops may be used. If it is not practi-
cable to supply supplementary feeds
to the cows the calves should be fed
q little grain. This can be done easily
by placing a small quantity in creep
In the pasture. A mixture of 0ne-third
corn, one-thlrd oats, and One-third

purpose.

LENGTHEN LIFE OF AIR BAGS
Until Exact Size Of Tire Is Oh.
tained-Other Hints.

The life Of an air bag can be greatly
heightened by observing the following
rules:
When the tire is placed in the mold
the clamp screw should be frightened
until the exact size Of the tire Is OBJ
tanned, and then given about one-half
turn. This slightly decreases the size
of the cavity and relieves the strain
on the air bag, in addition to giving
perfect results in the cure.
Never allow the bag to became fiat,
as this will cause cracks in the lining.
Inject little warm water into the
bag each week in order to keep the
inside of the bag moist.
Don't pull the bag out by the tube.
Use the tape.

Dakota Farmers Specialize in Feeder
Hog Production.

Hog Production.
the state live stock sanitary board.
The hog growers Of that section have
decided it is most profitable for them
to produce feeder hogs because the
high price and limited quantity Of corn
in their vicinity available for feeding
purposes make the fattening of hogs
hazardous undertaking. On the 9th
err hand, alfalfa hay is grown in abun-
dance, and the pasture afforded is
keenly relished by the hogs. Hence
the project farmers are limiting their
operations to feeder-hog production.
A cooperative live stock shipping as
ISOLATION has been organized on the
Belle FOurche project to market the
hogs in unique fashion this fall. The
plan is to secure carload orders for
these hogs so that they may be shipped
out in small train loads for delivery
to points east of the Missouri river
The idea is to have about fifteen cars
Of hogs in each train, these cars being
loaded at Newell and Nisland on the
project and to be carried to destina-
ton, without stopping for feed or wa
ter, within the 36-hour limit. Infor-
nation is being promulgated among
the prospective buyers along the route
regarding the freight rates on a mini
mum car Of feeder hogs so that they
can estimate accurately the gross cost
Of such load Of quality feeders de-
livered at their destination. The hogs
sold during the fall of 1918 ranged
from 16 to Fl cents a pound f. O. b..
cars, some of the loads being sold
above the market quotation and some
of them under.
The Belle Fourche plan of market
ing feeder hogs should be of interest to
other stock raisers and feeders in va
rious sections Of the country, illustrat-
ing, as it does, new method of feed
er-animal distribution. Handling
through a cooperative shipping asso-
citation directly from the producer to
the purchaser makes it certain that
the buyer will receive the hogs at his
station at minimum cost for handling
In transit. Furthermore, the fact that
the animals come from a chOlera-free
country is positive insurance against
losses from that disease, if the hogs
are not exposed to infection in transit
or subsequent to their delivery at their
new homes. Prospects are that in the
future many South Dakota farmers in
the eastern part Of the state who raise
considerable corn and make practice
Of feeding the grain to hogs will rely
to certain extent on the animals COM
ing from the Belle Fourche project.

Use Of DRINKING Water,

Drink whatever water you desire
with meals. but do not take ice water,
and do not use water merely to wash
food down your throat. Water aids d.
gestion by helping to liquefy the food
and by bringing the gastric juices into
closer contact with the food particles.
Water does not affect the engines and
weaken them by dilution as some peo-
pie maintain. because the power of the
engines depends not on the percent

total amount and chemical compost

Most Common Cause.

OF all the causes of Overheating I'M
doubtedly carbon deposits in the cyl
inders is the most prevalent. As a
matter of fact, carbon deposits cause
overheating simply because they cause
the explosions to come at the wrong
time, whereby too much cylinder wall
is exposed with the results that l
mentioned above. When the engine
overheats, knocks and backfires, with
an obvious loss of power, it is a safe
bet that there is. lot Of carbon in
the cylinders. The cure, of course,
is to have the carbon scraped or other
wise cleaned out at frequent inter-
walls.
