PIGS SUFFER WHEN
MOTHER IS OvERFED

Many farmers are guilty Of over
feeding their brood sows at farow-
ing time with the result that the
flow of milk is so great that the
pigs are thrown off feed, according
to animal husbandry specialists. To
overcome this condition feeders at
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station Withhold feed from the
sow on the day she farrows giving
her nothing but water. For the
next two or three days she is given
light feed Of shipstuff or middlings
in the form of a thin slop. On the
fifth day after narrowing corn meal
is introduced into the ration which
then consists of about one pound
of corn meal, four pounds of ship
stuff and one-tenth of a pound Of
tankage. These feeds are then
gradually increased until at the end
of 10 days the ration consists Of
three pounds of shipstuff, three
pounds of corn meal and one-half
of pound Of tankage. AT the end
Of 80 days the feed is composed
of seven pounds of corn meal, five
pounds of shipstuff or middlings and
one pound of tankage. This is con-
sidered full feed an is obtained
by gradually Increasing the feed
from the tenth day. According TO
the feeders, the amount of feed
given the SOW should depend on her

experiment fields conducted by the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. On six fields the average
increase from the use Of lime and
acid phosphate has been more than
eight bushels Of wheat an acre.
Treating the soil before sowing
wheat also will enable the crop to
Withstand the winter in good shape
and make a vigorous growth next
spring"

DOLLARS For FREEDOM;
NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTEl


There can be no doubt about il
whatever; the United States is the
greatest republic on the fac of the
globe, and its citizens enjoy great
err degree Of freedom than any other
nations.
But there is oppression in several
forms that makes it hard for the av-
erage man to enjoy his full measure
of freedom.
Whether we realize it or not, we
are all subject of, and pay tribute
to, His Tyranical Majesty, Dollar
Bill. We work eight, ten or twelve
hours day to earn few dollars,
which we Immediately spend, on iv-
ing and enjoyment, and most Of us
are always bewailing our inability
to overthrow the power which has
kept us subjected all these years.
All our complaining will avail us
nothing, if we have not the will to
help ourselves. If we have this will
power, and even q liuited amount of
foresight, there is an opportunity Of
fering itself to each and every one
of us to ferment a revolution, and
overthrow our oppressor. Freedom
from financial worry can only be OBJ
tanned throlgh systematic savings
and investments, but such cam
paign does not mean that you must
suffer any undue hardships.
Some people are prejudiced
against investments that partake Of
the nature Of speculation. They call
it gambling and classify it with
horse racing and other games of
chance.
Well, you can make a gamble out
of anything under the sun IL the
gambling fever is under your chest.
In medieval times the priests made
gamble out Of the church as in
modrn times the politicians make
a gamble out of what they call
craftsmanship.
Watching the rise and fall of Sc
curities that represent the labor and
wealth of nation is no crime. U.s.
ing your own judgment in buying
and selling such securities it not a
gamble but a lawful and legal
transaction.
The big fortunes have been, and
always will be, mad by men who go
into the market as legitimate inves-
tors. The people who give Wall
street a black eve are the natural
born gamblers, who turn everything
they touch into game of chance,
and who would "shoot craps" with
the angels if they ever got into Hea
fen by mistake!

Remaining Our Streets.

THE Commissioners refusal to grant petition
i of the Georgetown Citizens Association that
NJ street northwest between Twenty and
Thrty-sixth streets be hereafter designated Penn
sylvania avenue" a refusal undoubtedly logical
brings the thought that the remaining of a goody
number of thoroughfares would be a work of real
service. Specifically, these are the east and west
streets too far north to come within alphabetical
nomenclature.
Years ago, when Belmont and Euclid streets
seemed at the end OF civilization and thick woods
sprang in the Mount Pleasant and Fourteenth street
extension districts, it seemed to offer a relief from
monotony to turn from A, B, c, and I, 2, 3, to an
attractive galaxy OF proper names, the first letters
OF which formed an abecedary series But with the
northward expansion of the city, this second alpha
bet became exhausted and recourse was had to a
third Unless the confines OF the municipality

good people may be called upon to exercise as
much ingenuity as the manners of Pullman cars, and
the result will leave badly off as Brooklyn
Since such a classcist as L'Enfant found his
ear and eye unoffended by literal and numerical
street designations, it is that we more YER
nacular and businesslike folk Of today could toll
crate such list as First avenue" Second avenue"
or avenue A." avenue B. etc. These lists would

1t has always been the proud belief of Wash
ngtonians that the Capital is one of the easiest
cities in the country for stranger to find his way
about in. There have been many complaints from
those who came here under press of that such
is not the case however. The diagonal avenues, it
is frequently declared, are difficult enough and

II HE traffic problem has been uppermost in the
i thoughts of official Washington for some
months. Every system in vogue in the United
States has been studied and the result has been the
issuance OF of rules for the guidance OF
the motorst and the driver of horse-drawn vehicles
Perhaps these rules are not the BEST but at least
they step in the right direction Only by con-
tinued study and constant cAnges the laws be
made fool-proof While the driving public may find
I i irksome and may complain that the ever-new
regulations inclined to confusion, 1t never
theless remains fact that human life is more prec-
ious than the comfort or convenience of any driver
and close study of every. rule is obligatory.
Any person who undertakes to drive auto
mobile shoulders very grave responsibility. He
has in his keeping norsonly his life but that OF
those who may ride with him and more important
still--the lives OF those citizens who find natures
equipment their only means of ocomotion. 1t is
unbelievable that 'any person who stops to think
would for one minute find fault with system which
swas modelled with the sole idea OF preserving not
only his own but other lives, even though it might
entail upon him personally the task OF devotng an
hour day to mastering the details OF each
new regulation.
Washington automobile drivers as a whole are
law-abiding and what is more, hearty supporters
OF the law in theory and practice 1t is only through
lack OF proper thought that the average citizen vio-
iatcS inc TdHiC ordinances. lhere may De a lew
who hold the law lightly; there may be those who
rebel at any curb upon their own actions. But they
are lar in the minority. The average and
woman here in other cities has wholesome re-
spect for law and order and will not thinkingly be
responsible for serious infractions.
Every good citizen OF the District of Columbia
wants to see Washington the leader in everything
that makes for civic pride The best way to &C
compsh this is to have faith in the laws which are
made Tor the conduct of the District. No matter
how trlhing or how unnecessary it may seem, each
rule should be observed to the letter. The man who
drafted them had definite object in view and
little thinking and dissection will show that at
which they aiming. Just because you do not
happen to see the for slowing up at a cross
ing is no reason why there is very good and
sufficient cause for including this in the official book
OF regulations. Perhaps, if you are so unfortunate
as to meet with accident, this truth may be
forced home upon you so you will forget it.
But there is reason why should wait for
some untoward incident to stamp upon our minds
the necessity for observing each and every one of
the traffic regulations. Think ahead of the emer-
gency and, for the rest place little faith in the
men who have given their best thought and effort
to the end of reducing to minimum accidents in
the city.
little faith never hurts anyone and in this
particular case it may human life.

Valuable Lessons Close At Hand:

# TEACHERS are quick to note the unusual op-
portunity for the study of contemporaneous
world history which is afforded by the Washington
conference on limitation of armament and the Paci-
fc and Far East problems They are also wise
enough to see that daily newspapers the best
textbooks for this history
In following the negotiations of diplomats they
will do well to give full recognition to the VARYING
points of view of each nation represented and WHY
they differ from the Hughes stand, which appears
reasonable to Americans.
AT the same time differences between neigh
bors in Europe we'll in the Far East offer
many lessons for students of history But the chief
lesson to learn is that of tolerance of the other ma
tons feelings and view point Self-sufficiency and
complacency are natural enough in a country so
blessed America, but they can be out of place in
diplomatic negotiations that meant chiefly to
reconcile differences.
