tiii: rItli: of Tin: minority
(Written for The Herald by Rev.
C. R. Lowe.)
It is a common saying that the ma
jority rules in this country, and that
is true in theory. We are good los
ers. If the vote goes against n lot
of people as it is bound to do, we do
nnt think nf rnisinir nn insurrection I
not tin nK oi raising an insurrection
as tliey uo in some oi ine countries.
When an election conies on and cv
erybody gets out and votes, tnat is a
good thing. But when an election
to iiimi the election, and the thing is I
put through, that is the rule of the cccded W. J Willoughby as agent for wirDonaccouorn Uats, liar
minority. the Burlington in this place. "jv wneat, nye, ivatu coin, and
Last Monday night a week there
was a duly advertised school election
and you would probably guess there
were at least half a hundred persons
there to see tho meeting through,
but as u matter of fact there were
but six citizens there, and in spite
of the fact that our women are in-
terested in political rignts anu nave
had a place on the election board
because of their interest, there was
not a woman present. Of course
the men have nothing to crow over,
they did not shine.
But what were the six to doV
Three of the school board, an em
ployee of tho board and two others.
Now they might have gone aneaii
and done things they wanted to do
and some they would possibly like to
do, they could have made the limit
of levy, and there is nothing anyone
could have said about it, but have
had to pay the tax. It was die pub
lie meeting for the purpose of mak
ing tax levies, proposing improve
ments, .electing officers, and doing
other things of interest to the -,cliom
district, and the few had things all
their own way.
Tho ones who were there had an
eye to business, that of the school
district, and to your own. They did
not go wild in appropriations and
order tho board to make a lot of
needed improvements, neither did
they levy a great tax. They had
regard for your desires and the good
of the school. So there is no rum
pus stirred up.
It is too bad there is not more in
terest in the matter of tho school
elections. It is not a fault of this
district alone, but it is the same
nearly everywhere else. Some par
ticular thing may get out n good
representation, but it is not often.
People are just as busy and careless.
Probably to got tho folks out it
would be a good scheme to advertise
that all admittance to the meeting
would be denied to more than tho
first dozen people who came, and
then all would be there to show
somebody they could get in if they
wanted to, and there is no one who
has a right to deny the privilege.
The school board ordinarily would
like to get tho expression of the peo
ple on various items of interest, but
when there is none there it is not
possible to get it. If there was a
scrap in the district over something
there would be a house full to advise,
but as there is not, nobody turns out.
We ought to be glad there is no
scrap. We ought to appreciate this
and turn out. We could have a
friendly meeting and all be benefit
ted. We have the interest of the
school at heart, wo want it to be the
best wo can have. No institution
can get on unless the owners of it
have much interest in its workings.
It seems that tho folks elect .. board,
and then give the institution to them
and say, "take the school and tho
children and run the business and we
svill pay the bill," but our interest
ought to be greater than that.
This was tho case of a few men do
ing the business of the many, doing
all the directing for the villago in
this work. It ought not to bo so,
the time is past for it to be differ
ent this year, and we can oi,4y hope
for something better next time. It
is a good thing, however, that there
is no specified number to make a
quorum or there would bo no business
at all.

(From Form Bureau News.)
Feeds may be divided into
two
large groups according to their buik-
iness. The first group is made up
of the bulky feeds or roughness. Tho
second group is made up of 'rich
feeds," that is, those that contain a
large proportion of digestible nutri
ents in a small quantity of feed.
Each group may be divided into two
classes, carbonaceous or those high in
carbohydrates, and secondly those
high in protein or musclo building
part. The words are hard to remem
ber and it is difficult to explain
them. Perjiaps the easiest way to
keep them in mind is to classify the
common feeds:
t trTTmiMi;ce
, """ -j.
1. Carbonaceous W Id and T mo-
t, H c Fodder. Straw. Siliuro.
2. Hiirh Protein Clnvor. Alfnlfn
Sweet Clover. Cnwnon. and Kovhonn
J lays.
-- 1 ' -j
II. CONCENTRATES.
Milo.
2. High Protein Milk, Tankage,
'Oil Meal, Cottonseed Meal, Bran and
'shorts.
As a general rule high protein
feeds are more expensive thun car
bonaceous. Carbonaceous feeds are
fattening feeds. Especially is this
true of the carbonaceous concentrates.
While the, protein feeds are very
necessary, especially for young ani
mals they are excellent bone and
muscle builders.
Foods are used in a body for:- -I.
Growth. Proteins serve prin
cipally as bone and muscle-builders.
II. Work or Exercise. A certain
ijurt ul liiu iuuu is usuu ior exercise
.. ... .
or the production ot work.
III. Warmth. A portion of tho
food is used in cold weather to main
tain tho heat of tho body. A' consid
erable portion of tho food may be
saved and stored by the animal in
the form of fat by properly shelter
ing the animals especially from cold
winds. Carbohydrates and fats are
most valuable as heat-producers, al
though proteins can do this in the
absence of the former.
IV. The body is a machine. Like
any machine, parts of it are contin
ually breaking down. These parts
must bo repaired. Protoins ftre most
for repair as they are the bone and
muscle-builders.
V. Fat Production. If nil tho fore
going needs are supplied, and there
is an extra supply of feed, nature
stores tho surplus in the form of
body fat. This fat wo make use of
in fattening animals.
VI. Milk Production. Certain ani
mals we feed in order thnt they pro
duce milk. This does not enter
much in swine production.
Lot us consider the pig. In the
first place, the pig has only one stom
ach and a rather small one at that.
For tills reason, the pig cannot han
dle much roughage to advantage, al
though it must be said thnt a grow
ing pig or brood sow can take some
alfalfa hay and thereby considerably
reuueo ine corn mil. we recom
mend that good leafy alfalfa be
placed before the pigs in racks when
pasture is not available. Wo know
the pigs make pork more cheaply on
alfalfa pasture than in a dry lot. If
alfalfa pasturo is not available, rape,
rye, or grass pasture should be sup
plied. Pig-feeding may be divided into
two periods, growing and fattening.
While tho pig is young, wo should
see thnt he is "kept coming." He
need not be kept fat, but should not
be stunted. Keep him thrifty by
supplying blcnty of bono and muscle
building feed. Even in the fatten
ing period, wo must remember that
the pig needs some protein to replace
body waste and" must supply it in the
form of high protejn feed if wo wjsli
to make the most efficient use 'of
our carbonaceous feed.
A ration is the amount of feed
taken by an' animal in 21 hours. A
hundred pound pig will take nbout A
or 5 pounds of grain per day. On
pasture, wo feed less grnln, so thnt
the pig must get more feed from the
pnsture.
All of our grains aro low in bone
nnd muscle-building elements, and
wo should seo that they are supplied.
A ration that supplies tho proper
nmount of protein and carbohydrates
is spokon of as a "balanced ration,"
A good ration should be;
I. BALANCED. In order to sup
ply the nutrients needed as cheaply
as possible.
II. PALATABLE, that I-:, Itshould
be a feed the animal likes,
III. CHEAP. Some feeds are
cheaper than others. Select the
cheapest feed for tho purpose.
IV. HOME-GROWN. As far as
possible, use feeds that can be grown
on the farm or in your locality.
V. It is desirable that a ration
contain n variety of feed rather than
n single feed.
The following feeds arc most used
for hogs:
Corn. Corn is" the most important
hog feed. It is well liked by all an
imals. Corn alone is not a good feed
as it does not contain enough bono
and muscle-building protein. It is
an excellent fattening feed but should
bo fed to hogs in combination with
tankage, milk, oil meal, or cotton
seed meal.
Oats. Oats are usually too high
in price for hog feed. They nro too
bulky for fattening hogs, but give
good results with growing or breed
ing stuff.
Hnrloj. Barlev is nn excellent
hog feed, being about equnl to corn,
pound for pound. It should bo fed
ground or rolled. Like corn, it is
a fattening fecil and should be fed
with some high protein feed.
K.H'. Ryo sometimes gives diffi
culties with young pigs, but is a
good feed for more mature hogs if
supplemented with high protein con
centrates. iv ti t i r Corn ami .lino, 'ihcso arc
fair feeds if fed in combination with
high protein concentrates. They are
about 90 per cent as good as corn for
hogs.
.Milk. Either skim or buttermilk
is a very valuable hog feed. Skim
milk may bo fed cither sweet or sour,
but should not Uo fed sweet one day
and sour the next. It should bo lim
ited in amount for fattening pigs as
it is quite bulky. It is an excellent
bone and muscle-building feed. A
hundred pounds of skim milk or b.it
ter milk is wortli half tho price of n
bushel of corn. Skim milk and but
ter milk are nbout equal in value.
Tankage. Tankage is a packing
house by-product. ' is an excellent
bone and muscle-bui uing feed. As
it is extremely high in price, it should
be fed in limited amounts. The gen
eral rule is one part of tankage to
ten or fifteen parts of grain.
Linseed Oil .Meal. This is a good
feed, and is best fed one part to five
parts of grain.
Bran. Bran is too bulky for hogs,
as a general rule. It contains a
great deal of bone-building material,
it is an excellent feed for part of
the ration of brood sows, especially
when suckling their litter and nt
farrowing time.
Shorts. This is n mill by-product
also known as middlings and ship
stuff. It is a cood hog feed.
The following are good grain, mix
tures for hogs:
Corn, 10; tankage, 1.
Corn, 5; linseed oil meal, 1.
Com, 5; cotton seed meal, 1.
Corn, S; shorts, 4; tnnkage, 1.

Report of State Conference o( Homo
Demonstration Agents, Held In
Llncolii.Mny UO ami .'II, lltl'.l.
Agents in the state met nt Lincoln
for a two days' conference with the
Stnte Leader.
At the opening sesseon on Friday
morning Mrs. Davisson discussed
"Future Plans." She laid special
emphasis on plans for the Homo Eco
nomics Association which is held an
nually the third week in January.
It is hoped that the Homo Economics
Association nnd Homcmnkers can lie
merged together, devoting nt lenst a
dav to Homcmnkers. Tho various
Farm Bureaus over tho state would
have ul least one delegate attending
this nssocintion, some of whom would
be represented on the program.
Plans are being made to hnvo several
workers present to discuss various
problems.
Mrs. Davisson also spoke of the
work of Miss Louise Murphy, n public
health nurse of Chicago, who bus
been employed as tho first Nebraska
Health nurse. Funds which tho Wo
men's committee of tho State Coun
cil of Defenso hud on hand when it
demobilized, has been given to the
University Extension Service for tho
employment of n state public health
nurse. Her mission w.lll bo to nrouso
interest In better health conditions
for women and children. Plans nre
being mndo for Miss Murphy to visit
Dakota county some timo this year.
Miss Rokahr, who is to uegm tnc
first of July as State Loader in Wyo
ming, presented "Yearly Programs
and Project Outlines." Sho first dis
cussed tho four State Major projects
-Child's Welfare, Fairs, Community
Recreation, and Hot School Lunches.
With copies of year's programs of
Seward, Custer, Scotts Bluff and Da
kota counties, sho showed how these
projects would bo featured in tho
counties cither as major or minor
projects. She then snowed tho val
ue of tho various projects being writ
ten out and sent in to the State and
National offices.
Mr. Brokaw gave a short tulk on
"Farm Bureau." He spoke of changes
thnt had been brought about in this
movement, showing that organization
had made a permanent foundation
for the Farm Bureau work.
Miss Albcrtson talked on "Re
ports." Few changes for tho form
now used was suggested so as to keep
tho reports more uniform and to lie
able to represent work which is real
ly being covered.
On Saturday morning, Mrs. Davis
son discussed tho value that tho Farm
surveys, which have already been
mailed out to many or tno homemaK
ers by tho Agents, will be to tho
chief of the State Relution Service
of Washington, D. C, to develop Ex
tension work.
Miss Warner, Mrs. Wambeam, Mrs.
Rice and Miss Dunn discussed var
ious phases to bo featured at Fairs.
Miss Fry8inger, from Washington,
D. C, presented the aim of the Homo
Demonstration work, whnt value it
had been to tho country during tho
pnst two years, nnd how tho work
now is In n new ern.
Miss Morton, of Washington, J). C,
discussed project work for Boys' and
Girls' club work nnd gave some very
good reports on work that tho boys
and girls have really accomplished.
On Saturday afternoon tho confer
ence was concluded with a general
conference of nil stato workers in.

PATENT HOG CHOLERA REMEDIES
Do patent hog cholera remedies and cures euro? That Is tho ques
tion the Indiana Experiment station undertook to answer when they
started to test the preventative and curative properties of twenty of the
patent products sold (in their state for that purpose.
The general plan of testing medical mixtures and other prepara
tions advertised or sold as preventatives and cures for hog cholera,
within the state, was as follows: From five to twcnty-nlno hogs,
weighing from GO to 100 lbs., were used for tasting each of tho reme
dies. All of tho hogs were exposed to hog cholera by inocculating
them with hog cholera blood, or placing them In cholera infected pens.
Part of the hogs were treated with the preparation according to tho di
rections, and tho bolanco of tho pen woro not treated. Daily observa
tions of the conditions, symptoms, and body temperatures of tho test lot
wero made. All woro given the same feed and care. Tho following Is a
summary report of tho resoults obtained in testing these different prep
arations: No. Hogs in Test No. of Test Hogs

The conclusion we must arrivo at from this work js that In no case
did th-so remedies euro or prevent hog cholera. Man of these Bnme

ve.ti: -.iients. It will therefore bo safe to not purchaso any so called
cholera cures or preventatives until they have proven by actunl test to
lie all that is claimed for them. (From Farm Bureau News)
