What Will Make the Hens Lay.

Put two or more quarts of water in a
kettle, add one large seed pepper or two
small ones, then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water bOils stir in a
course ground Indian meal, until you
make a thick mush. Let it cook an hour
Or more. Feed hot. Horseradish chop
ped fine, and stirred into the mush has
been found to produce good results.
Four weeks ago we commenced feeding
our hens mush as prepared in the above
directions, and for result we are getting
from five to ten eggs per day; whereas
previous to feeding, we had not had eggs
for long time. We hear a great deal of
complaint from other people abont not
getting eggs. To all such we would
warmly recommend cooked food, fed
hot. Boiled apple skiIs, seasoned with
remedy leaves no hard coat to dry on the
sores, but softens the parts, and aids nat
ure to repair the injury in the readiest and
most expeditions manner. The mixture
may be procured in the drug stores but
if not thus accessible, slake lump of
quicklime in water, and as soon as the
water is clear, mix it with the oil, and
shake it we'll. If the case is urgent, use
boiling water over the lime, and it will
become clear in five minutes. The
preparation may be kept ready bottled in
the house, and it will be as good six
months old as when first made.
The above preparation should always
be kept in the house ready for immedi-
ate use. Many lives have been saved by
its timely application. A word to the
wise is sufficient.

Second Assistant Postmaster General.


The Inter Ocean says: The President
has never made more fitting appoint
sent than that recently announced of
the Hon. James N. Tyner, Of Indiana, as
Second Assistant Postmaster General.
He has been for two years member OF
the House committee on appropriations,
where he has had the principal charge Of
all expenditures made for the Postofficc
Department. Having to prepare the
bills. as well as stoutly defend them
upon the floor of the house, where they
are always sure to be assailed, he has
necessarily acquired thorough knowl-
edge of all the details of the manage.
ment of that departae nt. He is man
of talent and tact, always full of resour-
ces for instant emergencies, and will
make a most efficient officer in his new
position. He has been very useful
member of the House, and has been fire..
quently called to preside, where he has
manifested full ability to control that
noisy beer garden in some of its stormi-
est hours.

Take Your Wife!

Every farmer should by all means
bring his wife into the Grange. Don't
commit the folly of leaving her at home
Oh the erroneous superstition that she
has no interest in the great question Of
raising farm products and selling them.
Attend the Grange with your wife. II
the children are too small to be left alone
leave them in charge Of your neighbor
who is too Conscientious to join a secret
society; or if you can't do better, change
wecks-you staying with the children one
week, and she next. An evening at the
grange will give your wife needed rest
and social enjoyment; besides she will
learn much which she needs to learn OF
the practical work which supports the
family. 1t is possible, too, that the
ready wit and practical intelligence of
woman may aid greatly in the accom-
plishment of the end sought after by our
organization.-M j. Granger.

anything you can do will have much

And, besides. it may he doubted whether

Pigs.

Next year we are likely to have q
small supply of hogs. So many are un.
able to buy seed wheat that large
breadth will of necessity, be planted to
corn. Should the yield be as good as
usual, we are certain next year to have
large Surplus of corn. Suppose that it
will not pay to ship, as was the case in
1928, then what? Why, turn it into
pork, of course. But this takes pigs.
and nearly all the pigs are dead. Is not
this dilemma to be avoided? We can
avoid it only by systematic effort to
raise as many pigs as possible the coming
season. Every man who is able to keep
one Ok more breeding sows, should do So.
Nothing on the farm will pay better. 1t
will pay better in several ways: ]. By
enabling him to turn 20 cents worth of
corn into 40 cents worth of pork. Any
good pig, well fed and cared for, will
make 10 pounds of pork out of one BUSH
ell of corn. He who has pigs to sell
next fall will get good price for them !;
there is likely to be an active demand
certain to be, if the corn crop is good.
8. The more good hogs there are in the
country, the more corn will be fed, the
less surplus there will be to ship, and the
better price it will bring.
Let whoever buys pigs to renew his
stock next season, buy only good ones.
A large share of the long-nosed, coarse,
large boned, slab-sided, miserable appol-
ogies for pigs, which have for years dis
graced the farmers pig-yard, and impov-
erished their owners, have been killed off
and there is now better chance to take
a new start. 1t never has paid, does not
pay now, and never will pay to keep poor
ill-bred pigs.
But did not set out to write a diser-
tation on pigs, but to urge my brother
farmers to increase thear stock of hogs
carefully and as fast as it can be done
economically.-C0r. Nebraska Patron.

Lime Water for Burns.

from the injured parts, apd allays the

The merchant first learns what price
he is likely to obtain for certain class
of goods, and if the cost allows him a
sufficient margin he deals in it; but if it
don't he does not touch it. The farmer
puts in crop after crop, sells year after

some neighborhoods, and some markets,
are favorable to some kinds Of crops, but
few will give profit on all. Unless the
farmer knows exactly how cheap, on the
average. he can raise certain produce, he
may, and often does, crop one half of his
land at profit, which just balances the
loss on the other half. This is all chance
work, and is unworthy of the intelligent
farmer Of the day. A farmer, of all
merchants, must kaow the cost of his
goods, he will then know exactly what
to do with then. At times selling for
cash by the the bushel, may pay better
than feeding out the crop and selling the
meat, and again the reverse. Just as
merchant finds that some goods (dry
goods often) pay better if made up than

expenses of each crop, kept carefully,

Hedges.

An Illinois farmers club, located
where good deal of hedge grows, and a
great deal of experimental farming has
been done, is reported as thus crystaliz-
ing the experience of the hedge-growers
in a resolution: "That, in our opinion,
to be successful in making a good and
lasting hedge fence, we should set the
plants eight inches apart, cultivate we'll
for three years or until the canes are at
least one inch in diameter. then plash,
leaving the canes standing above on an
angle of forty degrees" Laying close
to the ground and twisting or interweav-
ing the plants were both condemned as
unsuccessful. Observation has taught
that the method indicated above is the
cheapest and surest way to secure an
efficient hedge of Usage orange in the
