HOOVER'S CHAMPION FOR COX.

The New York World. which was the staunches of the newspaper champions for Hoover for Presiden last winter and which proclaimed it's willingness support the great engineer whichever whateve Cox in the present campaign. In an editorial o his speech of acceptance, under the heading, Co Meets the Test" The World says:
 Gov Cox has met the issue of the cam pagn, and he has met it boldly and directly. Rugged through every paragraph of the Governors speech and rugged common sense is one of the most precious of all qualities in the ad- ministration of government. Nothing could be in more striking contrast than the accept ance speeches of Gov. Cox and Senator Hard ing, only in substance but in tone and temper and in integrity of thought The speeches faithful index to the character and qualifications Of the two candidates
 The World, like other independents and
 liberals, has been waiting to learn what Gov. Cox would say for himself and to ascertain how far he would measure up to most diff fcuh situation In the light of this speech there is for doubts CT misgivngs James NJ. Cox has proved his title to lead ersliip of the Democrah~ Party alone but of all the progressive elements in the country that battling against reaction and against the calamities that reaction will spa ysn. There is forward cooking voter, man or woman, whose faith will be strengthened and whose hopes will not be renewed by the strong brave words and the high purpose of the Demo cratic candidate
 Gov Cox proves himself to be of full Presidential size, neither proxy nor a pup pet, but "a free nnfettered by prom ises" as he proudly describes hmself-a man of courage, understanding and convc- yction. The World gladly accords to him the earnest and sincere support that his cause deserves and that he himself has so honestly earned.

From 3 to 8 Months Is About
Right Age Under Ordinary
Farm Conditions.
MAKE HIGHER RATE OF GAIN
During Heat Of Summer They Are
More Liable to Losses From Para
sites-Breeder Also Gets Use
Of His Money Earlier.

Under ordinary farm conditions
lambs should be made ready for mar
ket at from 8 to 5 months of age.
When young they make higher rate
Of gain and will put on the same
amount of flesh for less cost than when
they are older. Then, too, they will
make but small gains during the heat
of summer, and at this time parasites
are most troublesome and they are
thus more liable to losses from this
cause. Risk of accidents is always
higher when the lambs are held for a
long time. More feed is saved for the
breeding flock, and less labor is needed
If the lambs are sold early. Better
prices are obtained in the spring be-
cause Of not having TO meet the COM
petition of the western lambs that are
marketed during the summer and fall,
and i'm addition the grower gets the
use of his money sooner by pushing
the lambs TO a marketable condition as
fast as possible.
Teaching Lambs to Eat.
Every effort should be made to keep
the lambs growing from the start. The
first essential is to teach them to eat.
Liberal feeding of lambs dropped be-
fore pastures are ready Is profitable
under any ordinary grain prices. This
is best done through the use of small
Enclosure known as creep" TO which
the lambs have access at all times, but
into which the ewes can not come.
The creep should contain q rack for
hay and trough for grain, so ar
ranged that the lambs can not get their
feet into them.
All feed given, especially ground
feed. should be clean. fresh, and free
| from mold. The lambs will begin to
| nibble at the feed when from 10 TO 16
days of age. Pea-green alfalfa Of the
second or third cutting is one of the
most relished feeds. Flaky. sweet
bran probably ranks next. For the
first few days these are the ideal feeds

Convenient Wagon Rack.

sideboards. This makes everything
hold solid and there is no danger of a
load Of produce slipping after 1t is in
side the boards. The side and end
boards are held together by a short
rod bolted on the end boards with a
ring in the end. Another bolt comes
through the side board with hook in
the end OF it. These two join and are
easily turned up tight.
On this rack, with no sides on, we
hauled onions, and put on rs bushel
crates. This rack on q low wagon is
hard to beat. There is hardly place
where either rack or q box is used
that this sort of rack will not do the
business of both. When thraShing
there is rack with no holes to let

ing seeded grain, such as clover, a
tight rack means a mighty big saving
in the seeds that are bound to shell.

FEEDING SKIM MILK TO PIGS
pose Of Ascertaining Most Eco
nomical Method.

good many tests have been made
for the purpose of ascertaining the
most economical way of feeding skim
milk to hogs. A resume of the work
done along this line at the Indiana,
New York, Iowa, Wisconsin and On
tario experiment stations shows that
young pigs that is. pigs weighing less
than 100 pounds. may be fed as much
as three pounds OF skim milk per
pound of grain. and by grain we mean
any one OF the cereals fed singly. or
number Of them together. As pigs
grow older the amount of skim milk
should be reduced to about two pounds
per pound of grain. The reason for
this is that less protein Is required as
the pigs grow older add still less is re-

ATTENTION TO DISK HARROW
implement Should Be Gone Over Care
fully During Winter Months and
Put in Order.

(By L. B. BASSETT, University Farm,
st. Paul, Minn)
The disk harrow is a tillage tool
found on nearly every farm. It's useful
life is about 20 years, as shown by
carefully compiled statistics Thus 1t
is a long-lived tool. There is very lit
tie about a disk to wear out. 1t has
few moving parts and, If given good
care, should cause little bother.
Disks should be gone over carefully
every season. During the winter
months the boxes should be taken
apart, carefully cleaned and, If badly
worn, replaced See to it that the oil
ing system works and that the bear
ings are getting oil. Keep the arbor
bolt tight. This holds the disk firmly
in place.
If the disk is used much it should
be sharpened at least once each sea-
son. This greatly increases the pene-
tratiOn and decreases the draft, as Ii
will do more work with less set. II
will also do better work; and because
it does not need so much angle or set,
there is less strain and wear on the
boxes. While a dull disk will cut, II
is like dull ak, inefficient and ex.
pensive to work with.

first will make it more palatable. Lin
seed meal is also good when mixed
with bran. Until the lambs are ) to 6
weeks old all their feed should be
course ground or crushed.
Corn Ration for Lambs.
The Ohio experiment station has
found that for young lambs that are
to be marketed grain ration of corn
is of about the same value as one OF
corn parts. oats parts. bran parts
and oil. Oil meal is especially relished
by lambs at this time and would be
especially valuable in promoting growth
rather than fat.
Such feeds as middlings are too
fioury for extensive use. Rye is less
palatable than oats or barley. Soy
beans may replace the linseed meal il
they cost less. Cleanliness is an i'm
portant factor in keeping the lambs
growing. Always feed TO an empty
trough. and If 1t becomes soiled scrub
II out with limewater.
