GIVE HOGS FEET ATTENTION
Bad UnderpinninJ Are Often Due to
Lack Of Trimming as Well as
to Overlooking.

When the new breeder is getting
ready to exhibit his hogs at the county
and state fairs he should pay atten-
ton to the feet of the animals as well.
as to fitting them. If the animals are.
overfed, very often they have a tend
ency to go down in the feet. Bad feet
are also often due to lack of attention.
as we'll as to overlooking and poor
breeding. Animals that are not given
an opportunity to take a proper
amount of exercise on hard ground
are apt to show this trouble more than
those under ordinary conditions. In
trimming the toes the pig is thrown
on its side and with sharp jackknife
the ends of the toes can be pared off.
Occasionally the sole of the foot may
need pairing also, so that the pig will
walk flat on the foot. Care should be
taken to smooth up the job and to not
cut the foot too deeply, so as to bleed
and cause lameness. The trimming
should be done at least ten days or
two weeks before the show.

FEED FOR BEEF PRODUCTION
Three. Year Experiment Shows That II
Costs More to Feed Calves Than
Older Cattle.

Results of three-year-oid expert
ment with calves, yearlings and two
year-olds to study the influence of age
on the economy and profit of feeding
for beef production indicated that the
initial cost per hundred pounds of meat
produced was greater with the calves
than with the older cattle; that the
length of time necessary for finishing
steers decreased with age; that the
rate and the cost of gain and the
proportion of roughage to concentrates
consumed increased with age; and
that the amount of gain necessary in
finishing cattle of equal condition de-
creased as their age increased. The
difference in total quantity of feed
necessary for finishing cattle of diff
ferent ages and fed to the same
marketable finish was negligible.
The experienced farmer who feeds
cattle should handle older cattle in
preference to calves, while the farmer
who produces and finishes his own cat

BEEF PRODUCTION FALLS OFF
Nearly Half of Farmers Last Year
Operated at Loss-Similar Con-
ditions This Year.

Beef in the United States was last
year produced at an average cost OF
Il to Is cents, according to figures
furnished by H., c. Taylor, chief Of
farm management Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
However, only So per cent of the
cattle concerned were produced for
that and AZ per cent cost more. Fifty
six per cent of the producers kept
these costs at Is cents or less, so that
nearly half of the farmers producing
beef operated at loss. 1920 figures
indicate that similar condition rules
and that production is falling off con-
siderably as a result, since no one
likes to produce at a loss.
Feeding prices and land values are
given as the reason for the falling off
of the profit. AS remedy fer it Mr..
Taylor suggests keeping of better rec
ords of all farm accounts, elimination
of excessive marketing charges and
good management.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

ExceptiI for our presidential cam
Daign. of whose closing days there is
little or nothing to say, the affairs of
Great Britain supplied the most inter-
esting and important news of the
week. The strike of the coal miners,
with its threats of further and greater
economic troubles, added to the Irish
problem, gave the British enough TO
worry over and these two matters con-
thetic or otherwise, of the English
speaking world.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
his cabinet were unremitting in their
efforts to settle the miners strike, and
on Thursday it was announced that
they had succeeded, if the miners
would accept the plan. After repeated
conferences with the labor leaders
tentative agreement was reached.
The settlement upon which the min
erS' delegates, coal mine owners, and
the government are agreed is very
complicated one. Briefly the men get
a sliding advance of two shillings to
one shilling six pence, according to
age as was originally demanded.
The miners and owners solemnly
pledge to cooperate to secure an in
creased output of coal. National and
district committees are to be estab-
lilshed Immediately to control the out
put and a joint national wage board
will be established at the earliest pos
Sible time before March 81 for regula-
ton of wages for the whole industry,
with regard to profits of the industry
and the principles on which, profits
should be dealt with.
The miners executive committee was
to submit the settlement to the miners
federation for approval. so the return
of the men to the pits will not be de-
layed.
The railway men and transport
workers, in view of the hopeful char
acter of the negotiations, postponed
any action looking to a sympathetic
strike.
Though very optimistic, the govern
ment made ready for all contingencies
by rushing through to final passage its
emergency bill. This arms the govern
ment with added powers to enforce
the law in case the strike continues
and the rail and transport men be-
come involved. Though it was passed
by large majority, some concessions
were demanded and received by the la
Dor party. The law as enacted pro-
vides that nothing in the act shall be
construed as authorizing the procla-
nation of any form of compulsory mil
itary service or industrial conscrip-
ton or make it an offense for any per-
son to participate in strike or peace
fully persuade any other person to
participate in a strike.

body was then taken to st. Georges

was said and then tremendous
throng of Irish and their sympathizers
accompanied the casket to Euston sta
ton, whence it was taken to Cork. In

there was great deal of uneasiness
over what might accur. The authori-
ties placed no limit on the size of the
procession, forbidding only military
formations. The people of Cork were

ence was made to Eamonn de Valera
as president of Ireland, that as Sec
rotary of state he could hear them
only on the understanding that they
were, there as American citizens and
not as representatives of officials of
the Irish people.
1--WE demand recognition, not as
favor" said Mr. Walsh, 'but as a
right. The Irish republic is now estab-
lished as de jure and de facto gov
eminent. Its stability and representa-
tive character are attested by the in
dorsement of the ballots of 80 per cent
of the Irish people. The courts of the
Irish republic are functioning daily
and their decisions are respected by
the entire population"
