resources will permit, the yearly ue-
struction of food fishes, it's operations
being supplemented by those of several
states.
During the fiscal year 1920, more
particularly in the period from July
to November, the number of food fishes
rescued from the overlooked lands bor-
dering the Mississippi and tributaries
reached the noteworthy total of l5o,-
65o 600 all of which would inevitably
have persisted. This salvaged output,
which was about 1O0,000,000 in excess
of the results in any previous season,
was returned to the open waters In
the vicinity of the points of collection,
with the exception of less than 1000
600 fishes of various species OF bass
that were used in supplying individual
applicants or in satisfying the requisi-
tions of fish commissions.
The young fish saved in the 1870 op-
erations. if they had been hatched and
reared in the usual manner at the ordi-
nary fish-cultural establishments,
would have required several hundred
such stations to produce. The entire
cost of the rescue work was only Ii
cents per 1000 fish for about 20 per
cent of the output.

IMPROPER FEEDING OF PIGS
One Big Reason Why Fall Porkers
Prove Improbable In the Hands
of Many Farmers.

One reason why fall pigs prove I'M
profitable in the hands of many farm
ers is improper feeding. Many per-
sons have the mistaken idea that a
pig must be fed light ration until
It is four or five months old to give
1t a chance to grow, which is one of
the biggest mistakes hog raiser can
make. AS soon as fall pigs will eat
grain and while they are still sucking
their dams, give them all the grain
they will eat. In fact, the best thing
is to have them run to trough or
a self-feeder, where they can find
corn. oats, tankage or some other feed
whenever they want it. After they
are weaned keep them right on a ra-
ton of that sort until they are ready
for the market. If you have self
feeder, put shelled corn or ear corn
in one part of it and tankage in an
other, or provide separate self-feeders.
one for the corn and one for the
tankage, and then let the pigs be the
Judge of how much to eat Of each

CHECK DISEASE AMONG HOGS
Animals Become Infected with Tu,
berculosis Principally From
Following Cattle.


Graduating tuberculosis from cattle
will practically solve the problem CT
controlling the disease among swine.
That is the opinion of veterinary ex-
perts experienced in the handling and
post-mortem examination of swine re-
ceived at the principal market cen
tiers. BY means of a simple and
practical marker, hogs may be tat
tooed with. distinguishing letters and
figures, and when disease is found by
post-mortem examination the identity
of such animals is known. With a
simple system of secOrds 1t is thus
POSSIBLE to trace shipment to the
farm from which it came and stamp
out infectious diseases at their source.
Evidence shows that swine become in
fected with tuberculosis principally
from cattle, either by following them
in feed lots or pastures, by receiving
infected dairy by-products, or by eat
ing tuberculOuS carcasses.

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotteny The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended BY those who have beea
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO lalge a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer g. Co., Binghamton, N. r.,

TN JANUARY, when our migra-
L tory birds of fashion prepare to
journey South, the young woman's
fancy turns-far from lightly-to
thoughts of clothes. She knows that
its going to tax her resourcefulness
to play up to the wonderful parade of
beautiful apparel that is to be found in
the show places, and that of all things
she cannot afford to look ordinary.
And she knows also that money alone
cannot solve her problems, although
it will go long way toward doing so.
BY way Of helping out a little, here
are two handsome afternoon frocks
that merit approval, and one of them
is shown with a hat and veil. This
one is made of panne velvet and
matching embroidered net-or a net
top lace-both very ingeniously
draped in skirt that is made in one
with a simple but subtle bodice. One
can imagine this in a rich brown or
