Swine breeding and swine feeding

Whenever it Beems desirable to
change our crops or methods of farm
management wo should quickly adjust
ourselves to tho change and make the
most of it. It is folly to cling tona-
clousty to a system that does not;
meet tho needs of present day agrl-
culture. Progressive agriculture re-
quires flexibility In methods and origi-
nality of plans.
Cooperative effort has enabled many
farmers and stockmen to ira prove
their livestock. It is nn easy matter to
secure tho best breeding Btock when a
number of farmers buy males upon tho
cooperative-plan. It does not require
largo capital to farm but It requires
intelligence and busiue3s organiza-
tion. Much can be done In making the
hired man contented and useful
aroud the homo by making his home
llfo congenial. Let him understand
that his fccrvice&ar'c''virfuable that

suggestions whon questions relating
to farm management uro discussed.

tion of their name being placed upon

ture by the- vote of the peopto

cate -of tho election of United States
Senators by direct vote as was UilB

declare whether he wquld bo hound
by the general voto of tho Stato or tie
voto of hla district. Mr. Kennedy said

tag a declaration ipeclflcaily one way
wm
or tho otljer necessary.

when persons over sixty years of age

not bo necessary to renew such ex-
emptions from year to yoar but thnt
they should ho In forco until deftth of
tho holder was reported favorably.
Tho bills requiring a majority votq
to elect for all officers and to require

tions during the preceding two years
