Doctors Must Limit
Whiskey Prescriptions
To 100 in 3 Months

John +. Kramer. prohibition
commissioner, has instructed the
Governments supervisors to be
careful in issuing permit books to
physicians for prescribing whis-
key. He advised that when n
physician asked for more than
one book a quarter the supervisor
should take steps to ascertain the
reason. Each book contains 100
prescription permits.
Mr.. Kramer said: "a number
OF physicians have written to me
stating II as their professional
opinion that not more than 100
permits for whiskey should, on
the average, be issued to a physi-
clan In a single year. There was
a case in which one physician is
sued A75 prescriptions for whis-
key In a single day"

Much or the usual pomp that ac-

lacking. The bodies were not brought
on gun carriages. as Is usually the

inclosed in plain white boxes, with an
American flag draped on each.
A group OF gravediggers laughed
and smoked as they gathered in a lit
tie knot at one side, waiting to carry
out their final task.

FIRsT-cLASS SWINE PASTURE
Good Grazing Keeps Animals in Bet
ter Health and Reduces Danger
Of Hog Cholera

a plea for real hog pastures. not
simply hog yards. is made by Forest
Henry of Dover. Mimi, well-known
institute leader for the agricultural
extension division Of the Minnesota
college of agriculture. BIr. Henry be
lieves in giving the hog a gOOdly mod
icum at least of the treatment and
attention accorded other farm animals.
He says:
1.-THE most profitable hog pasture is
a pasture so large that the hogs do
not eat One-half of it. If it be alfalfa
or clover what. remains uneaten at
having time can be cut and cured into
hay. An acre of alfalfa or clover will
make as much pork. so far as it can
be used. as an acre of corn. The one
builds ND the farm and requires very
little labor; the other reduces farm
fertility and requires much high
priced labor.
Good pastures not only make cheap
pork but keep the hogs. in much bet
ter health and reduce the danger OF
hog cholera to q minimum. In these
DAYS a hog cannot be grown on grain
alone and at the same time make
money for his owner"

APPROVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
Preliminary Estimate of Cost Of I'm
proVements Is Approximately
1894, 900 600.

Up to June 80, 1920. 1855 projects
involving a total of 29.319 miles OF
road had been approved by the Sec
rotary of agriculture. The prelim-
mary estimate of the cost of these
projects is approximately 1884. 200, 900.
of which approximately S163. S41, 600
will be approved as federal aid. On
the same date 2,116 projects repre-
senting approximately 1894 miles had
either been completed or were under
construction. The estimated total cost
Of these projects in various stages Of
construction and completed, is $780,
100000. The total cost of federal-aid
work approved by the secretary in the
10 months subsequent to the signing
of the armistice and prior to July 1,
1920, which is approximately S330OO0.-
600, exceeded by $63.OOO,OOO the cost
Of all road and bridge work done by
states and counties in this country in
1915. The value Of the work COM
pleted during that period amounted to
S6O,000,OO0, a rate Of construction
equaIing that of the Panama canal.

FATTEN TURKEYS GRADUALLY
Select Desirable Fowls Beforehand
and Feed Them Corn-Save Best
for Breeding.

Turkeys will not fatten well In con-
finement. Select the Thanksgiving
offerings beforehand. and begin to fat
ten them gradually by feeding more
corn. Too much new corn is bad for
turkeys unless it is boiled. Boiled
corn is a good fattener, and will not
cause diarrhea. as will an overfeed of
The new corn. Treat the turkeys for
lice, looking especially between the
quill feathers. Give them plenty Of
grit and water. If they have not been
in the habit of coming home early to
feed. drive them in. They should also
be driven out in the morning if they
are disposed to hang about the chicken
house. The exercise which fOraging
gives them is the best health insur-
ance.
Do not try to fatten the breeding
stock. We want big, rangy birds with
out too much flesh in the breeding pen
Try 10 separate the breeders before fat
tening the sales birds. The heavier
birds will be the most profitable for
the Thanksgiving market, but do not
sacrifice breeders If turkeys are to
be raised next spring. Save the
breeding flock from the most vigorous,
best birds grown. Choose size and
not weight.
