II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Dr.. KiImer'S SWamp-ROOt

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says. "Take for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and

ihere Is apparently greater oppor-
tunity to make saving on the cost

NUMBER OF pigs weaned per SOW than
theFe is by Improvement In some other
phases of the hog-productIon process.
Ihis Is indicated in study recently
completed by the Department of Agri-
culture Of the cost Of producing hogs
In 1921 and 1922 In Indiana. Illinois
and Iowa.
Most farmers know that much of the
success of their hog raising opera
lions depends on the way I'm which
they bring young pigs through the
sucking period. Apparently, how
ever, many have not understood the
degree to which this part of the work
surpasses other parts In relative i'm

management of brood sows. says the
Department of Agriculture, offers big
chances for increased rewards.
Variation In Cost.
Information obtained in regard to
the spring pig crop on about $50 corn
belt farms in 1922 showed that the
number of sows narrowing pigs was
only about Sc per cent of the number
actually bred. Wide variation also
existed in the cost of production per
pig ut weaving time on the farms. rails
Ing the lowest number of pigs pcr
SOW and the cost on the farms rails
Ing the largest number. Thus in 1922
the cost per pig, at the age of ten
weeks, on the farms where fewer than
four pigs were raised per SOW was
500, whereas on farms weaving from
six to eight pigs per SOW the cost
per pig was only S494. The cost of
producing 100 pounds of pork on those
farms weaving less than four pigs per
SOW was S7.9S, compared with only
1851 on farms weaving from six to
eight per sow.
These wide variations of cost are
emphasized when the profits are ey-
pressed In terms of return per bushel
of corn fed to hogs. In central Iowa
the most efficient One-fourth of the
farmers averaged 03 cents bushel
from feeding corn to hogs. The least
efficient one-fourth of the farmers re-
ceived only 80 cents bushel for the
corn fed to hogs. One-half of the
farmers between these extremes nv
eraged 63 cents return per bushel Of
corn. In Indiana during the same
year the return per bushel was S121

1t is evident, says the department,
that some of the pigs lost might have
been saved with proper care and
management. Proof that there is
room for improvement in this respect
is shown by n comparison between the
number of pigs saved on the 20 per
cent of farms which were the least
efficient in this matter, and the number
saved on the % per cent which were
the most efficient. In eastern Iowa
and western Illinois in 1922 on % per
cent of the farms saving the least lit
tie pigs only As out of every one hun
dred farrowed were alive at wenning
time. Among the % per cent of the
farms saving the largest number of
little pigs there We're 30 weaned out
of every one hundred farrCwed. This
Is further emphasized by the Varia-
ton which existed in the number of
pigs weaned per sow. In eastern Iowa
and western Illinois in 1922 the least
efficient group of farms raised from
two to four pigs per SOW. The most
efficient farms raised from six to eight
pigs per SOW. A similar variation Is
shown for the other states in the
study.
Spring pigs raised to weaving time
on 13 farms In 1921 cost S4.31 per pig
compared with cost Of $3.35 for fall
pigs. In 1922 on IS farms spring pigs
had cost 1888 per head at weaving
date and fall pigs S3.12 each. Pork
per 100 pounds from fall pigs. how
ever, cost more than from spring pigs.
Usually the price level at the time fall
pigs are sold Is higher than at the
time spring pigs are sold. Fall pigs
therefore, II well taken care of during
the winter may be as profitable as
spring pigs.
Management Of Herd.
Management of the breeding herd Is
the first step in the production OF
pork. and has n determining influence
on the profits of hog raising. Feeding
methods, care. housing and exercise,
have great effect on the number of
pigs raised. Many farmers. figuring
that some sows will lose out, breed
more sows than they expect to far
row. Improved handling methods
showed result in lessening the re-
ouired number of sows to be bred for
the number of pigs desired. This. be-
sides being more economical, would

Fertile Eggs Cause
Loss Every Summer
Can Be Prevented by Pro
ducing 1nfertile Product.

prepared by the United States Department
of AgricultureD
"A large part Of the loss caused BY
eggs spelling in warm weather can be
prevented by producing only infertils
eggs during the late spring and sum-
mer. This loss, which is conservative
ly estimated at more than $4,000, 900
year, falls almost entirely on the
producer. Not only does he lose the
value OF the eggs which spoil, but the
producer suffers further material
loss in the reduction of the number
of eggs consumed caused by people
getting bad eggs among those they
purchase.
This loss can be entirely prevented
by producing only infertile eggs dur.
ing warm weather. This is accom-
plished by taking all male birds ou,
OF the flock after the breeding season
Is over. The rooster has no influence
on the number of eggs produced. and
should either be marketed or killed
the meat can be canned-or he should
be kept penned up.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just published a large
poster showing the difference in the
keeping qualities of infertile and fer
tile eggs during warm weather. This
poster also gives simple rules for pro-
ducing good quality eggs on farms
during the latter part of the spring,

Immortal Epic

The Niebelungen-Lied is famous
German epic poem of unknown author
ship consisting of ancient ballads
termed sagas. In its present form II
dates from the middle of the Twelfth
century. 1t is divided into two parts
the first ending with the death of Seig
fried and the second with the death
of Kriemhild, his widow. Interest In
the NiebelungenLied declined after
the Reformation, but revived at the
close of the Eighteenth century; il
was not, however until the early part
Of the Nineteenth century that scholars
realized the great literary treasures
contained in this poem. Richard Wag-

HULL OUT FOR
STATE SENATOR
Whitewater Man Seeking
Republican Nomination
Is Able Man.
HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE
George w. Hull, Has Had Much
Experience to Fit Him for
Position Sought.

George w. Hull Of Whitewater Is
republican candidate for state senator
from the newly formed 22nd district
which includes the counties of Keno
sha and Walworth.
When DR.. Ridgeway decided, that
for personal reasons, he could not ask
for a reelection and republican lead
ers in Kenosha county thought 1T but
fair that his successor come from
Walworth county, Mr.. Hull was nomi-
mated by a gathering of representa-
tive republicans from both counties.
These men and women considered him
the man for the place because of his
personal characteristics and his train
ing and experience along various lines
and because he had the time to devote
to the work.
Native of Rock County.
Mr.. Hull was born fifty-years ago
on a farm in Rock county which he
still owns. His parents, who had come
from the east in territorial days be-
longed to that wonderful pioneer farm
err type which did so much to make
Southern Wisconsin what it now is.
AS boy, Mr.. Hull attended the rural
school at Utters Corners. AS young
man, he spent four years at Lawrence
College, two in the preparation depart
ment and two in the College proper.
He then took up the active duties
of the farm and continued, prosper
Gus farmer on the spot where he was
born, until 1922 when he retired, and
the family moved to Whitewater, that
city having always been the trading
center for the farm was jointely locat-
ed in Rock and Walworth.
Kept Abreast of the Times.
During the active years on the farm,
Mr.. Hull always found time to read
the papers and keep abreast of the
times; to serve as appraiser, adminis-
traitor, and guardian in his communi-
ty. For six years he was member
of the county board of Rock county;
two of these years he served as chair
man. He was the first president of the
Rock Co. Farm Bureau. His efficient
work here, brought him the presidency
of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Fedora
tion when that organization was form
ed. This position, which he now holds,
he will resign during the summer or
directly after the Primary as seems
best for the interests of both the Fed
Grafton and his candidacy. As presi-
dent of the Fran Bureau Federation,
Mr.. Hull has acquired broad &C
quaintance throughout the state and
an executive experience which will
help place him at the beginning Of the
session among the legislative leaders.
With Mr.. Hull in the Legislatures
of 1926 and 81, the 22nd district will
have representative whom they can
respect and trust; man without pref
udices; a man who will listen to both
sides Of question, man who thinks
things through and then speaks, man
who can stand on his feet and use the
English language accurately and eff
fectively, true citizen who believes
in and lives by the principles on which
our government is founded
