Which is Cheapest and Best 
Ration to r Fattenin g Hogs? 
Four Valuable Experiment Station Tests 
Here is some mighty valuable information for hog 
raisers. Four instructive feeding experiments were 
conducted under the suijervision of the Missouri and Kansas Exper¬ 
iment Stations at the St. Joseph, Mo., Stock Yards, to determine 
the comparative values of different rations for fattening hogs. 
60 Cholera-immune hogs were selected and divided Into lots of 15 
each, as uniform in weight, quality and condition as possible. 
The First Thin^ the Experts Did 
Previous to starting this feeding test, the first thing the experts did 
was to get rid of the worms. They knew the importance of this 
step because no hog can thrive or fatten to best advantage unless 
free from these blood-sucking, feed-consuming, disease-breeding 
pests. They also knew that all hogs, unless previously treated, 
are always infested with worms. This is a very important point 
for you to remember—especially now when feed prices are so high. 
Following is a result of the tests covering a period of 100 days: 
Lot No. 1 
Lot No. 2 
Lot No. 3 
with a ration of shelled com and tankage (60% protein) made 
a total gain of 181.4 lbs., per hog and a net profit of $5.78 each, 
with a ration of shelled com and linseed meal (old process) 
made a gain of 147.2 lbs., per hog and a net profit of $3.95 each, 
with a ration of shelled com alone made a total gain of only 
110.5 lbs., per hog and a net profit of only $1.88 per hog. 
T with'a ration of shelled corn and skim-milk made a total gain 
^ of IW.Slbs., i)er hog and a net profit of $6.53 per hog for the 100 
days feeding. This lot made the greatest gain and the most profit. 
No matter how YOU are feeding YOUR hogs, it is absolutely nec¬ 
essary, in order to get the cheapest and best results, that they are 
kept free from worms. You cannot afford to neglect giving them a good worm 
remedy like SAL-VET — the greatest, safest, surest and most widely used worm 
destroyer and conditioner — the cheapest and best worm remedy you can buy. 
For only 2>$c per month per hog you can keep your hogs free from worms, 
save feed, get faster gains, make maximum profits and avoid dangerous diseases, 
because healthy, worm-free hogs are less liable to contract fatal diseases. 
SAL-VET is not only best for hogs, but for sheep, horses and cattle. 
“Please send us two barrels of SAL-VET at once. This is the best thing we have 
ever used. We use it for sheep, horses and over 100 hoes and find it all you claim.”

"I have been in the bog business for thirty years and have tried every known 
remedy for hogs, but have never found anything to eoual your SAL-VET. It 
certainly does the work and is easy to feed. I fed it to little pigs, boars, preg¬

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Sukupar Chatterji, a 
Ilindu i)rie.st, was chief witness Oct. 18 
before .judge Kenesaw M. Landis, in the 
United States District Court in the trial 
of Gustav II. .Tacobsen and three others 
on charges of conspiring to foment a 
revolution in India. Chatterji testified 
that he came to United States in 1912 to 
study journalism but later was induced 
to become a party to the conspiracy by 
Ileramba Gupta, one of the defendants, 
lie told of meetings held in San Francisco 
in lOl.l when phins for the allegeil con- 
spirae.v were discussed, find of going to 
Manila with several of the alleged plot¬ 
ters. He was arrested there and brought 
back to this country. 
Only three of the forty defendants on 
trial at Abilene, Tex., for conspiracy to 
defeat the selective draft law were found 
guilty Oct. IS. They wore G. T. Bryant, 
State organizer; Z. U. Bisloy, State pres¬ 
ident. and S. .1. rowcll. State secretary of 
the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Protective 
Association. 
Drivens of the Borden Milk Company 
went on strike Oct. 19. causing a short¬ 
age of 9,'»,()09 quarts in the New York 
City milk supply. 
I’atients in adjoining wards of the base 
hospitals at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., 
were removed hurriedly Oct 21 when fire 
de.stroyed a one story wooden building 
containing the receiving ward and the .sick 
and wounded office. The explosion of an 
oil stove started the fire. Two medical 
officers who were in the building were 
slightly burned, 
(''onvicted of attempting to caii.se in¬ 
subordination and mutiny in the military 
and naval forces of the United States, 
Frederick Krafft of Ridgefield, X. J., 
Socialist candidate for Governor a year 
ago, was sentenced by Judge Davis in the 
United States District Court at Trenton 
Oct. 22 to a term of five years in the 
Atlanta Penitentiary and was fined $1.(W>. 
Krafft ivas indicted under the new espion¬ 
age act. ITis coun.sel immediately took an 
appetil to the United States Circuit Court 
of Appeals, after which hi.s bond of .$10,- 
000 was renewed. t 
The right of labor unions to coiiybiue and 
to make u.se of the “peaceful picket” to 
fight the “opeu shop” is upheld in a de¬ 
cision rendered Dot. 2.1 by .Tudge Charles 
TiOslie in the Distriet Court of Douglas 
County, Neh.. in a suit brought by Attorn¬ 
ey-General Reed of Nebraska to enjoin 
the Omaha unions and opposeil employers 
from carrying their differenoes to a point 
inimical to the orderly course of business. 
The right of employers to combine to 
protect their rights is equally strongly 
put in the decision, with the clear state¬ 
ment that a “lockout” calculated to harm 
men not involved in strikes or tending to 
force outside and disinterested^ persons to 
side with them against the unions is con¬ 
spiracy in restraint of trade within the 
meaning of the law. 
Federal secret service agents reported 
to IVashingtou Oct 29 the discovery in a 
Buffalo. X. Y.. warehouse of millions of 
pounds of sugar in bags and barrels 
labelled “top crust flour.” Notations on 
the packages, it was said, indicated that 
the .sugar bad been coming into the ware¬ 
house over a period of several months. 
Federal agents Avho made a survey of the 
contents of the building estimated the 
amount of sugar at loO carloads, or about 
10,0(K).000 pounds. Around immense piles 
of sacks containing the sugar, the Federal 
agent said, he found a screen of other 
articles, while some of the containers 
marked “top crust flour” actually had 
flour sprinkled over the outside. 
Fire in the House of Refuge on Ran¬ 
dall’s Island, one of New York City’s 
charitable institutions, Oct 2.3, caused a

spirits In the Dublin revolution of Easter 
week, 191(5. and bis close friend and 
lieutenant, Baron Max von Recklinghau- 
.sen, a w’ealthy German, who at once wa.s 
added to the large colony of interned 
aliens on Ellis Island- Mellowes is charged 
w'lth conspiracy in obtaining papers in¬ 
dicating that he is an American seaman. 
The Baron so far is charged only with 
being an enemy alien and was interned 
as such. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—During the 
week of Oot. 22 a milk campaign was con¬ 
ducted in AVashington Oo. Me., by the 
milk committee of the Washington County 
Holstein Breeders’ A.ssociation. The 
speakers at these meetings wei'e F. .S.

The Mexican Government has deposited 
1,000,000 pesos in a New York bank to 
cover the purchase of 3,000,0(X) bushels 
of American corn to be used in relieving 
the food situation in Mexico. The corn 
will be delivered at Laredo at the rate of 
200,000 bushels every twenty days. 
WASHINGTON.—A deliberate failuro 
of retail dealers in many of the most im¬ 
portant food commodities, notably flour 
and beef, to lower their prices was ac¬ 
knowledged _ in a formal statement by 
Fo^ Administrator Hoover Oct. 18. 
This means, according to authoritative 
information, that Congress will be asked 
when it meets in December to give the 
Food Administr-fttion as extensive control 
over the retailers of the nation’s foodstuffs 
as it now has over the wholesalers, job¬ 
bers and manufacturers through the lic¬ 
ense system. The only chance the retail¬ 
ers have of e.scaping this action, it is said, 
is to abandon the widespre.ad profiteering 
in which they have engaged while whole¬ 
sale prices wore dropjiing. They are in 
effect on probation until Congress meets. 
The license system, as it applies to all 
W'holesalers, brokers and commission men 
handling the fundamental foodstuffs des¬ 
ignated by President AVilson, will become 
operative November 1. 
The Post Office Department has issued 
supplemental fraud orders against .1. A. 
Mitchell and ,7. A. Mitchell, superintend¬ 
ent, at post-office box .3000. and Ottawa 
Building, Montreal. Canada, and the 
Bunffy Consolidated Sei-vice System, L. 
Bundy, general manager, and Ti. Bundy 
at Knightstown. Ind.. on charges of con¬ 
ducting a scheme for oibtaining money 
through the mails by means of false pre¬ 
tenses. 
Hundrefls of millions of dollars, per¬ 
haps billions, will be involved in the Fo<l- 
eral control of German owmal industries 
in the United States during the war. A. 
Alitchell Palmer, formerly Roiiresenta- 
tive from Pennsylvania has been desig¬ 
nated by the Presklont to take charge of 
enemy alien properties during the war. 
All German property of a business nature 
will be taken over by the Goverumeut. 
and wherever it is possible the business 
will he continued with directors appointed 
by the Fisleral Government, through Mr. 
Palmer, ropre_senting the percentage of 
German intei-est in the concerns. The 
money earned by the operations of such 
companies Avill lie held in trust by Mr. 
Palmer’s organization. Under the powers 
given him it will be ppss'ible to invest 
the dlvideiKts in anything considered a 
s..fe and wise investment. It is consid¬ 
ered highly probable that any subsequent 
issues of bonds by the American Govern¬ 
ment will receive a large slmri* of such 
dfivideiid's.
