You can do this by feeding them a com- bination of condensed buttermilk and corn or cereals. It is a fact proven by U. 8. government officials that butter- milk is positively one of the greatest hog fatteners known. Milk protein is two or three times higher in value for my-bnilding purposes than cereal pro- C()NDENSED BUTTERMILK is the economical way of feeding your hogs this valuable, weight-producing milk protein. Our condensed butter- milk has all the fodd values and weight- producing proteins that whole butter- milk contains. By a patented process we merely extract the water. MIX WITH CEREALS such as middlings, bran, cornmeal, oats, etc., and you have an ideal feed. The lactic acid in buttermilk makes it a stimulating tonic and conditioner. We furnish you with proper formula rations, showing kinds of grains and amounts to mix with the condensed buttermilk. Condensed buttermilk is 98 per cent digestible—just the pure stuff with 85 per cent water removed. It has about the consistency of ice cream, keeps in- definitely and comes in barrels direct from our factories and is surprisingly cheap. 3 Factories in Minnesota, North and South Dakota.

Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers Sl The Ohio Farmers’ Defense League Full Text of Circular Letter Sent Out by New OrganiQ zation to Local Farmers R Butler, Ohio. men| EAR SIR: The tax pro- #| gram of the league, as laid before the joint tax- ation committee Febru- ary 10, provides for the true physical value of town and city property by multiply- ing the rental value by not less than nine; it provides for the placing of in- tangible property upon the tax dupli- | cate, from the files of banks and bond- ing companies in the same open man- ner that accompanies the assessment of cattle in the field or barn; it pro- vides that personal notes not given would become invalidate under the law of collections; it provides for clas- sification directly applied to an auto- mobile license tax, from $5 to $25 on passenger cars and from $15 to $25 on automobile trucks, based upon the true rules of equity, and it provides further for the elimination of county teacher examiners, county and district school superintendents, farm bureaus, the serum farm, serum agents, fish and game wardens, farm teachers, in- clusive of the Wooster station, except it operate since fully equipped, upon a paying basis and for the recommen- dations outlined in the annual and ad- vance report of the auditor of state and in our folder. The expense and the interest charge far exceeding, in many taxing dis- tricts, the receipts, only men who ap- prove of the above principles, coupled with the enacting of a law limiting indebtedness, should be indorsed by the league, if bankruptey and repudi- ation is to be averted and if the Smith 1 per cent law is to be retained and without further violations. FARMERS NEED POLITICAL ACTION For any farmers’ organization to de- clare it has no interest in politics and therefore in laws, which are a direct result of politics, is absurd. There- fore, politically, the league will select in each district its own candidate, pledged to a specific program, who will enter the primary on whichever party ticket has the best chances of winning in that district. Through both the primary and the election to follow, -our candidate will- haye the advantage of the league’s full indorse- ment and unanimous support, plus the advantage of a normal victorious polit- ical district and the inertia of those who will vote the party ticket straight anyhow. If, however, our candidate, in any district, is defeated at the pri- mary, we have the option of indorsing one already nominated on the other ticket or, -if district is strong enough, run a candidate independent. Thus the rank and file producer .and con- sumer have avoided the long, slow, expensive process of building up a new political party, when the inter- ests of the incumbents of both par- ties are in common, with the exception of about 8 per cent. In centering our fight against this dominant political minority by the application of the above principles, means that people whose interests are in common will vote as a unit for the candidate indorsed and not again part company at the polls. In view of the demands for financial and economic re- lief our principles and method for ob- taining the same will receiVe hearty approval here, as has been demop- strated in 13 other states, and before the end of the year receive the full co-operation of labor in the shop as well as in the field. The class we represent having no dependable news medium, the Non- partisan Leader (weekly) should be secured through the secretary at $2.50 per_year, which includes membership ‘PAGE TEN fee. Every Ohio taxpayer should sup- port the Ohio Farmers’ Defense league to the extent of mailing subscription for the farm paper of greatest circu- lation, the Nonpartisan Leader. An estimate on the changes sug- gested above from the auditor of state reveals that (not inclusive of revenue from intangibles) from true valuation of town and city property and from what he has recommended in his re- ports, a saving of approximately $3,- 400,000 would be realized. i E. E. CASSEL, Secretary. The secretary also sends a clipping from the Ohio State Journal advocat- ing a state bank, which reads in part as follows: : “For the information of the conven- ing legislature and Governor Cox, and for the direct benefit of the people of Ohio, why not, as should have been done years ago, institute a state bank with power to loan money to meet all public and private debts for a maxi- mum period of 25 years, at cost of op- erating said system? Instead of pay- ing interest the debtor would pay 4 per cent of the -principal each year and, at the end of the 25th year, the state or postal bank will receive the final payment. “To meet the exigencies of the times, congress shou'd be immediately called into extra session for the pur- pose of abolishing the gold standard, which is no longer workable, and to give the federal government more complete power to make money for the purpose of liquidating the old public and private debts and thus relieve the interest load from the shoulders of _all the people. : “Experience verifies the fact that there is no limit to the excellent pos- sibilities in 2 movement which assures government by and for the people. “Except we cast aside the doctrine of force, hate and prejudice, partic- ularly while establishing world de- mocracy, we shall drift far from the Christian doctrine of love toward even our enemies and, in fact, encourage dissension.” “BEATING SWORDS INTO PLOW- SHARES” Uncle Sam now will use the raw stuff that was to blow Germany off the map for fertilizer. Instead of making high explosive shells out of it he is putting it on the land to raise food and cotton. Over 150,000 tons of nitrate ‘of soda, released by the war department, is speeding from 18 Unit- ed States shipping points to farmers - via the bureau of markets, department of agriculture. In view of the number of orders for early shipment being re- ceived the nitrate distributors say that spring must be on the way. Farmers who did not want to accept deliveries in February now want immediate ship- ments, and the bureau of markets is trying to ship 100,000 tons this month. Orders have already been issued from Washington for.the shipment of over 75,000 tons in small lots, and Savannah and Wilmington report daily shipments of over 1,000 tons each. Announcement that all applica- tions for nitrate will be filled for the full amount has been made, but it was pointed out that applicants should ap- preciate the impossibility of filling ail orders simultaneously, though every effort is being made to have the ni- trate reach all applicants in time for use this season.—DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE..
