STOCK
N E E FOR
BROOD SOW AND PIGS

After the pigs are born the sor
should not have anything but woto,
for the first t~wenty-four to tbirtv.sIr
hours. For the first feed a handful q,
bran In a little lukewarm water Is
good. A mixture Of bran 10 pounds
shorts % pounds, ground grain :,
pounds, and tankage 10 pounds, makes
a suitable ration for a SOW in milk. In
feeding a brood SOW In milk II sbo,,d
be kept In mind that her Requirements
are the same -as-fora dairy COW in
milk At first only a light feed sbonld
be given. as a heavy feed will undulv
stimulate the milk flow, making II
more than the pigs can use at frs,
The ration should be Increased grad.
ually so that the sow will be getting
a full feed at about the end of two
weeks after narrowing. The appetite
Of the SOW sucking a good healthy lit.
ter Is a pretty safe guide to follow.
She will usually lose weight with the
best of feeding.
As soon as the pigs are a day or two
old they should be out In the sunshine.
MS 1t IL well known that sunshine has
q very beneficial effect on the little
pigs. Because Of the exercise as well
as the feed which they get there is no
better place for them than an alfalfa
pasture. The SOW and litter should be
moved on the alfalfa as soon as IL ia
up three or four inches; they should
also be provided with a colony house
for sleeping quarters.
II an examination Is made at the
time Of birth II will he found that the
pigs have on each side small short
black tusks called needle teeth. with
which they often injure each other as
well as the sow's teats. These should
be cut of with a small pair of forceps,
care being taken not to lacerats the
gums.
When the pigs are three or four
days old 1t will be noticed that they
are taking an interest in their moth
er's feed. and this should be encour.
aged by fixing a creep for them. so
that they a be given feed which will
not be disturbed by the SOW. Pigs
handled In this way will be very easy
to wean. II 1t is the plan to raise two
litters q year the pigs should be
weaned at about eight weeks of age.
Where only n litter a year is the
practice the pigs need not be weaned
until ten weeks Of age. II properly
fed they will usually wean themselves
by this time.-H. II. Smith, Assistant

ONE SUSPECT IS CAPTURED
Poscc Of Citizens Arrest John Mondei
Near the Town After Fifty
Shots Are Fired

Casper, Wyo.-The bank Of Salt

masked men shortly before noon Sat
urday, August Z, who escaped with
$1,000 to $4,000 in cash. John Mon

after the daring holdup when he took
refuge In a tent on the outskirts of

made up the posse which took up the
chase after MOndell, fired more than
90 shots at the ten in which the man
was hiding before he surrendered.
The two bank robbers entered
through the rear door of the bank, and
with leveled guns ordered the four
bank employees, including G. r. Rodell,
cashier, to throw up their hands. In
addition to the masks worn by the ban
dts. both had their large hats pulled
down Over their faces. The bank en-
plOyes were ordered into a little room,
the appearance Of the bandits being so
sudden and unexpected that the bank
workers were caught off their guard
and had no chance to resist the attack.
Vail Lightner. Frank McGinnis, L. f.
Corey and Rodell, the cashier. were in
the bank.
Two customers in the bank were or
dered to lower the window shades to
prevent anybody from looking In from
the outside.
The robbers then quickly grabbed all
the money sacks in sight and departed
from the rear door rs hurriedly as
they had entered.
Word Of the robbery spread quickly
through the Salt Greek oil field city.
which is only n short distance from the
famous Teapot Dome and citizens
rushed for their guns and hurried to
the bank.

Production of Combs Is
Big Asset for Beekeeper

A good stock Of drawn combs Is the
most valuable asset that a beekeeper
can have, especially II n Is a pro
Queer Of extracted honey. They are
Of particular value In a season when
the honey crop IL light. because they
enable the bees to store what little
nectar Is available instead OF using Il
for the building Of e comb. Every
beekeeper should endeavor to have a
number Of new combs drawn during a
good season to replace any that may
become damaged Or broken.
A good comb is n that Is straight
and containing rs few drone cells AZ
possible. Il must also be firmly at
tached to the frame on all four sides
and strongly supported In the frame
by means Of wire. To produce such
combs, the frames must first be tight
ly wired; No. % timed wire Is most
commonly used. %Fuli-depth Langs-
troth frames should have at least four
horizontal wires; larger frames will
need more.
When extracting the honey from
new combs, arst take only part Of the
honey from one side. reverse the comb
and empty the other side; again turn
the comb and finish the extracting ;
honey Is extracted from one side with
out removing any from the other. the
weight Of honey on the inner surface
OF the comb will crack. or even break
out the whole center.

OPPONENT Of KHAN
WINS IN OKLAHOMA
EX-GOVERNOR WALTON VICTOR.
IoUs IN RACE FOR SENATOR
lAL NOMINATION
POLITICIANS ARE CONCERNED
Indications Are kiux Issue Will Wipe
Out Party Lines Entirely In
Election Campaign

Oklahoma City.-All doubt that the
homa would be a s%tralght-out fight be-
tween the Ku Klux Khan and its OPP
ponents was swept away the past week
when returns from the statewide pri-
mary election showed the nomination
of ]. G. Walton, Democrat, bitter op-
ponent Of the khan, and w. B. Pine,
wealthy oil man and a khan endorsee.
Unofficial returns give Walton's
lead over e. B. Howard, congressman
from the First district, at 10000.
Pines lead over Eugene Lorton, Tulsa
publisher, assures him the Republican
nomination.
Political observers are chiefly con-
cerned with the question whether
party lines will remain intact In the
senatorial race, many going so far as
to express the belief hat the khan and
anti-klan fight virtually will wipe out
party d~elineations.
Walton Is a bitter opponent of the
Ku Klux Khan and severely attacked
that organization In his campaign
speeches. Howard and Wrightsman
were known to have been Endorsed by
the khan.
With more than a two to one lead
over his nearest opponent, W. B. Pine
Of Okmulgee. won the Republican SEN
atOrlal nomination.
Pine had the Endorsement Of the Ku
Klux Khan, while his opponent, Lorton,
opposed that organization.

Filthy Quarters Cause
of Disease in Swine

III Ia q very prevalent Idea that
the hog Ii naturally a filthy animal
and that II IL more hardy II allowed
to roll In q mud wallow and eat It's
feed from u~nsanitnry troughs; but
modern methods have clearly demon
strated that hogs are more healthful
when they do not have access to stag
nant pools and filthy mud wallows. 1t
has also been proved that unsanitary
.roughs are responsible for a large
percentage Of the ailments Of swine.
Digestive troubles, especially. can fire.
Quently be traced to filthy feeding
quarters, points out l.. v. Starkey,
chief Of the animal husbandry d.
vision ut Clemson college.
Fresh water. shade. feed and shell
ter are all essential. but they can be
had with sanitation.
Perhaps the best why to keep swine
thrifty and clean Is to have them
where they have the run Of a fairly
large pasture. II such a pasture has
running water the hogs will thrive.
It In true that hogs love to wallow
In the mud. but It Is not necessary for
them to do 90. II is n part Of the
job Of the modern hog raiser TO see
to Il that hogs have quarters which
are as sanitary as are those for the
other classes Of live stock.
