Was No Autopsy

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The
senate Daugherty committee, tho in
recess because of the illness of SEN
ator Wheeler, Mont, today decided
to dig deeper into the circumstances
surrounding the death of Jess Smith,
Attorney General Daugherty's init
mate, who was found dead, suppos-
edly suicide, in Daughertys apart
r9eut- here last May.
Tho Mrs. Roxie Stinson. Smiths
divorced wife, expressly denied any
intention Of limiting at the possible
murder of Smith when she testified
before the committee Saturday. SEN
ator Brookhart To-Day announced
that the committee had decided ITO
investigate all phases of the alleged
suicide # Smith, in view of the
fact that no autopsy had been per
formed at the time of his death.
While no subpoena has been issued
for DIR. J. Ramsey hewitt, District
Of Columbia coroner, Brookhart said
he expected to call him to explain
the failure to perform an autopsv
and other circumstances surround
ing Smiths death.
There was no need for an an
topsy," DR.. hewitt told the news re
porter today. at was a plain case
of suicide, if ever saw one. There
was no mystery about it and no
suspicious circumstances so l issued
a certificate of death by suicide
without an autopsy"
Brookhart set the next session Of
the committee for Wednesday when
the examination of Mrs. Roxie Stin-
son. divorced wife of Jess Smith
will be resumed.
After the senate vote citing Sin
clair for contempt, Senator Din

OF
OIL PROBERS
Quiz to Go Before the Grand
Jury Soon

WASHINGTON, Mar. "a
The senate today ordered con-
tempt proceedings instituted by
federal authorities against
Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of
Teapot Dome, for his refusal to
answer questions before the oil
investigating committee.
The committee, at the insti-
cation of Chief Prosecutor
Walsh, cited the oil magnate
for contempt and the senate
formally approved its action.
Seek Grand Jury Indictment.
The next step is now up to the
federal district attorney here, who
will lay the matter before a fed
eral grand jury.
If the grand jury finds Sinclair
in contempt, he faces prosecution
and a Jail sentence, until he tells
his story of his relations with for
mer Secretary of the Interior Fall
from whom he obtained the lease
OF the Wyoming naval oil reserve.
In his citation Walsh pointed to
resolutions adopted BY the senate
empowering the committee to sub
poena and question witnesses.

Give Little Pig Chance
to Make Hog of Himself

Just as soon as the little pigs will
eat they should be fed in addition to
what they get from the SOW. This
will pay, according to L. A. Weaver
of the Missouri College of Agriculture,
even when the sow is a good milk pro-
Queer, and on the best ration.
The pigs should be given access to
a small pen where the SOW cannot go,
to receive their supplementary feed.
Skim milk fed in a shallow pan is
very good for them. The pigs may be
taught to run into the creep for feed
by allowing them some shelled or ear
corn. AS soon as they begin to eat
well, a slop made of milk, some
shorts, a little bran and some linseed
oil meal or tankage fed along with
the corn will make a ration which
with proper exercise should satisfac-
'torily meet the requirements for rapid
growth.
This ration for the young pigs should
include by weight: 4 parts shorts, L
part bran n l part tankage. AS the
pigs become older the corn may be
gradually increased until the amount
has been doubled.

Dry Mash Is Excellent
Feed Ali Year Around

Many poultry raisers are feeding
cockerels to get in shape to sell as
broilers. Purdue university recon-
mends for this use a ration composed
Of two pounds Of corn, one pound of
shorts, n pound Of ground oats, and
eight pounds or buttermllk.
This should be mixed and allowed to
stand and sour for "a hours before
feeding. Feed in a trough placed out
side the crate in front of the birds.
The birds should appear %ravenous and
eat g~reedily. If they do not, there Is
something wrong with them, and they
should be removed from the coop.
When the birds have eaten for 80 mill
ates the trough should be taken away,
thoroughly cleaned and allowed to
dry. Give the fowls all they wiS eat
In 80 minutes and no more.
Water IS not necessary except in hot
weather. 1t is advisable TO feed grit
every few days. Two weeks is a good
average length of time to feed. The
greatest gain should be made during
the first week, but it is profitable to
continue in most cases for another
week.

Healthful Quarters for
Hogs of Big Importance

If hog raising is to be a-profitable
business the animals must be kept
healthy. This requires that sanitary
quarters and equipment be provided.
Hog houses can be designed and
built of concrete block so as to satisfy
every requirement. They possess al.
the advantages of houses built of other
materials and, when properly built,
have none of the disadvantages.
The accompanying photograph shows
a swine house which forms part of the
equipment on a large farm in Illinois.
