Good Shelter For Hogs.
How about the shelter for your hogs ?
Is it as peed as you can make it or as
good as it ou bt to be ? A lot of hosjs
have" been dying of pneumonia this
fall , which indicates that the shelter
has not been what it should. If the
hogs are compelled to crowd in order
to keep warm some of them frill be
come overheated , while others will
freeze. The overcrowded ones are very
npt to take cold and contract pneumo
nia when they are forced out on the
cold , damp morning after having been
overheated all night long. A good
straw shed is all hogs need , provided

A BIG DIFFERENCE
"Millions for defense ; not one
cent for tribute. "
The American Woolen Mills
company , the woolen trust , spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in magazine advertising , the pur
pose of which was to "educate"
the people into seeing the justice
of schedule "K , " and the way it
was making sheep raisers rich by
paying a big price for wool , and
the way ifc was selling good cloth
to the American people for less
than they really ought to pay.
And then , when the workers in
its mills objected to a cut in the 86
a week wages they were getting ,
the woolen company employed an
army of guards to protect its
mills. When the state shortened
the hours of labor , of course wag
es had to come down. Of course
that patriotic company wouldn't
give 22 cents per week to its oper
atives in order that they might
have shorter hours and still get
$ G a week.
Button Trimming for dresses
etc. , is the latest. Save your
scraps of cloth and take them to
the Red Front where they can
