Hog Production Lessened.

Hog production in Iowa will be re-
duced 30 per cent this year, due to
losses this spring, say animal h~usbandry
experts Of Iowa State college. The
cold, rainy weather has caused many
farmers to lose the greater portion of
their pigs before they could get them
started.
iowa did not breed as many sOws as
usual, due to the high cost of corn, so
that the pig crop shortage will be great
err than ever before.
Pigs should not be kept confined in
a pen. for that makes it easy for dis
ease to attack them. They should be
given Il good run and plenty Of chance
for exercise.
One way to prevent considerable
trouble is to put them on a good pas
tire. The best pasture is Il clover or
alfalfa field and pigs get the most good
from ii. However. blue grass or Il rye
field will serve the purpose. a grain
ration should be fed along with the
pasture.
An acre of common pasture Will
serve two SONS and their litters, while
an acre-of alfalfa will handle three or
four ows and their filters turnout the
season.
Where cOrn is used to supplement
the clover or alfalfa pasture. about two
pounds per hundred weight should be
fed. Rye or blue grass pasture needs
some such protrin. feed rs tankage
along with the corn allowance. Those
who are in touch with the situation
believe that prices for swine will run
high this fall because of this pig crop
shortage.

Make Use of Trees OH Farm.

When planning a farm home select
a location near some good trees so
that shade may be enjoyed by the
family all the hot summer days OF
the year.
1t takes so long to grow good shade
trees that the existing ones should be
cherished and utilized to the fullest
extent. According to United States de-

should not be planted right in front of

that a view can be had from the house
and the house may be seen from the

Iof Iowa State college under the super
vision of A. w. Rudnick should keep

"Do not keep the separator IN the

better to have the separator out Vim

Keeping the cream cooled at a tenn

also prevent the growth of bacteria
which damage the milk.

WOOD.HAS VARIED
CIVIL EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTRATIVE QUALITIES ARE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAN
DING GREAT BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

From time to time people ask,
"What has been the administrative
and business experience of Leonard
Wood? What has been his experience
with men outside of the army? What
does he know about conditions in the
different parts of the United States
and in our overseas possessions? Has
he any thorough knowledge of foreign
affairs and of our foreign reations?
The administrative qualities of
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he in com
pick fields of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with it the neces-
sity for the exercise of keen business
acumen
The republic of Cuba built upon
firm democratic foundations, is mon
ument to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines is
to be found another monument to his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated In medi
cine from Harvard University in 1884
and served for more than a year in
one of the great hospitals, later to
take charge of the charity depart
ments in section of the city of Bos
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion Of
Woods work in Boston he became an
assistant surgeon in the army, coming
into contact with the western plains
and giving much of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians and TO
study of the problems of irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years in California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance Of
his duties and. extended his field as
occasion required into the states of
the Northwest. Then for two years he
was in service in the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where his
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations with Will
liam Mckinley and the men of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign in Cuba as the col
Onel of the regiment of rough riders
of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel.
At the close of the Spanish war
I.eonsrd Woods supreme administra,

governor of the city of Santiago and

WIRELESS PHONE
 ISBIC SUCCESS IN FORESTS

MISSOULA, Mont, Jan. 13 (by As sociated Press) The wireless tele- phone, as a result of seasons try out, during which the handicaps of packing" instruments over a thirty mile mountainous trail, the perils of passing through a forest fire, and nu- merous other tests were applied, has been pronounced a success for forest service work by officials of the serv- ice, according to an announcement from district headquarters here.
 Hereafter the announcement says, wireless telephone instruments are to be a part of the standard equipment of the forest service.
 At the direction of Chief Forester William S. Graves, tests of this plan of communication were initiated in this district last season by R. B. Ad- ans, telephone engineer, who was as- sisted by Everett Cutting. United States signal corps standard sets were selected for the experiment, and one was placed in position, after almost interminable difficulties, at the Mud creek ranger station, near the Lolo Hot Springs, Mont, and another at Beaver Ridge, Idaho.
 While the air line distance between the two stations is but twelve miles, the distance by trail is thirty miles, much of it almost impossible even with pack animals At last, however, after mishaps that included pack horses off the trail, packs displaced and rolling down mountainsides, and batteries and equipment all but lost, venient pines.
 '"The sets were used during the fire the antennae were hung high on con- season of 1919 in reporting fires and otherwise in the carrying on of the fire campaign, With eminently satis- factory results" says the forest serv- ice statement.
 The real test came during the de- structive forest fires in the Clear water forest, in northern Idaho.
 "Over ninety miles of ordinary tele. phone line was destroyed" the state ment says. "The trees from which wire was suspended were burned. Tel ephone communication was thus end ed and the efficiency of the fire-fght- ing organization correspondingly re-
The Cordova daily times., 1920-01-13

duced. It took over week to restore this communication"
 In marked contrast was the effect of fires sweeping near wireless sta tions. With the flames dangerously near the Beaver Ridge station, the op- orator promptly transferred the entire equipment to a hastily constructed log raft which he put afioat on a nearby lake, navigated to a safe distance from the shore, and awaited the passing of the fire After the front had passed he returned to shore, set up his equip ment, and within an hour was making a report of the cause of the interrup- tion to communication.
 While the sending radius of the sets used was not great, the receiving power was practically unlimited, the statement says, and wireless tele- graph messages from many distant points were picked up. Perhaps the Beaver Ridge station was the first plaie in the inter-mountain territory, it is stated, to know that Admiral Rod mans flagship had safeley passed throogh the Panama canal. The for est service observer, there in the mountain wilderness, picked hp the naval radio message announcing that fact.
 Equipment of the experimental sta tions necessarily was rather crude in some respects Field tents, with ker- osene 1anters for illumination at night afforded the only protection against the hot sun and the sometimes hotter wind, bearing the breath of the forest fires.
 The chief practical difficulty en- countered in the operating of the sets, it is declared, was the trouble expert enced in obtaining sufficient power. After numerous experiments 270 dry batteries, in series, were employed to furnish the requisite power. Gaso- line engines, windmills, or various forms of hydro-electric power develop ment are possibilities in this connec- tion, it is asserted, depending on local conditions.
