prepare for the earlieft practicable mar
keting, in the hope Of getting ahead of
the rayages of this seourge. (3) In most
hog-raising sections corn is so abundant
that the product made by feeding it
must necessarily be cheap.
The course of the gamblers as bearing
on this point is quite significant. The
prices at which November and Docem>
Der pork is selling presupposes prices
for live hogs ranging from S315
10 1925. At the same time January
pork is on basis of about $3.50 for live
hogs. This indicates both an sxpects-
tion of further decline just Bow and
something of rally after the holidays.
This is exactly in keeping with she
ideas of many practical hog men with
whom we have conversed. They almost
without exception expect lower prices
for the near future and q recovery Of
values some months later. This latter
expectation is based upon the prObabili>
ty of the rush of the season being pretty
we'll over by that tims, and that the
supplies available for late markets will
be rather light.-Pittsburgh Stoekman.

THE OLD FASHIONED HOUSE.


OF all the tender and comfortable things
That now and then sweet memory brings,
There's nothing dearer that love recalls,
Than the old-fashionsd house with its
white-washed walls.
Not a mansion to day, though marvel
of art,
Can ever usurp its place in my heart;
For there my earliest prayers were said,
And slept at night in trundle bed,
Meath coverlids reaching from feet to
chin,
By mothers hand tucked gently in,
And d goodnight kiss on my tired
brow -..trrI
o, earth holds no such blessing now!
The garden was fragrant in aower-beds,
Where narigolds lifted their velvet
heads, .-- ...-.....
And wrrmed by sunshins, refreshed by
dew.
The bachelor button and touch-me-not
-a grew. s-r
In the river that curved like shepherds
crook,
We fished for minnows with bent piD>
book,
Or with little bare feet oft waded thro,
And bravely padded our own canoe.
Twas home of welcome no one could
doubt,
Whose latch-string hung invitiugly out;
And many astranger supped at its board,
While blazing logs in the chimney rOared.
o, this is an age of reform and changel
And things aesthetic, modern and
strange
improvements that saver of silver and
gold
Are snpersediug the cherished and old,
But turn from palaces built for show,
With Mansard roofs and stories below
OF frescoed, kalsomined. dadoed halls,
To the od-fashioned house with its
white-washed walls. ae--.

The Right Kind of Hay Cock.

Pushing or throwing hay into a
| bunch or heap, is not making a cock.
! A cock of hay is miniature stack.
| We want to make it so that it will
| shed water. In making stack, the
| first and most important rule Is to
| keep your middle full " And so it is
| in making a cock. The middle or CEN
! ter OF the cock must always be the
| highest-nOt when you finish merely,
| but at all times from the start 20 the
end. And in fact this is all there is to
it. Dressing up the cock by trimming
it up at tie bottom, and raking down
the sides with the fork is all very well,
| but unless the cock is well made from
the start, one of our heavy showers will
| 90 right through it. In old times, be-
| fore moving machines, and steel rakes,
and unloading forks, when the labor of
making hay was far greater than at
| present, and when we wanted to save
| 1t after we had got it, the old man told
us young ones to always turn your
| fork" We were not allowed to take
fork of hay and set it down on the
cock, but we must lift it up above the
cock and turn it over, so that the
| fork, instead of being under the hay,
should be on top. In our own prac-
tice we do not always adhere to this
plan when starting the cock, but in
putting on the last two or three fork
fuIs, ''turn your fork" should be the
invariable rule. There is no special
advantage in making excessively large
cocks. In this climate, cock to )
feet in diameter at the bottom and
about feet high, if well and compact
| ly made, will answer.-American Agri-
| cUlturISt.

Living in Fire.
From the New York Sun ]


Capt. Charles n. Ahlstrom, Swede,
is to give an exhibition in a few days
of a method OF living in a burning
building. Capt. Ahlstrom will erect a
house, set it on fire, and walk into it
and stand around. Then he will sit
down to table, take out a raw beef
steak from his pocket and put it on a
table, where it will cook before the ta-
BILE goes to pieces.
Capt. Ahlstrom said at Capt. Boyn-
toms last evening: 81 wear a double
suit. The inner suit is waterproof.
and is made OF rubber. The outer suit
Is OF mole-skin or corduroy. A water
pipe from outside the burning building
connects with the outer suit and keeps
the space between the inner and outer
suits filled with water. Corduroy is
an excellent non-cOnductor, and by
keeping it wet from within it is not
burned. In order that | may breathe,
another pipe, into which air is pumped
exactly as in a divers suit, supplies
my lungs with air"

Cut the Grass at Night.

1t is very much better to cut grass
in the afternoon, says the New En-
gland Times, than in the morning
when wet with dew. Cut it so late in
the afternoon that it will not have
dried at all crlspy, and the dew of the
following night will not iniure it in the
least. We have aimed to cut all the
grass afternoons, after the team has
finished hauling in the cured hay. 1t
is cool then, and one may run the ma
chine until well into the evening, if the
work Is driving and the surface of the
field is smooth and free from obstruc-
tions that would endanger the ma
chine. The next morning, after the
dew is dried off, set the tedder going
and keep it busy until noon. In the
afternoon the hay will be dry enough
to 90 into the barn, and there has
been no expense in cooking and open
ing out the cocks again in the morn
ing, as by the old. and still quite com
mon, way. When grass is cut with a
heavy dew on, 1t takes the best part
OF the first day to get the dew dried
OF; and 1t becomes necessary to bunch
it up at night, or leave it in the win
row TOR another days drying. By
adopting the method of afternoon cut
ting, the risk from bad weather is re
duced about One-half, and the labor
and cost OF cutting quite materially
1t never INJURIES grass to get wet after
being cut if it has not become wilted.
The heavier the crop the greater will
be the gain from cutting in the after
noon. From two to four hours ofhot
sunshine upon grass free from dew is
amply sufficient for making it into
the best OF hay if it is kept stirred
during the time with a good tedder
II the crop is very light, the 5edder
may be dispensed with.

The House Doctor.

For nose-bleeding, try bathing the
face and neck in cold water
Tickling in the throat is best re-
lieved by a gargle of salt and water.
Clorate OF potash dissolved in water
is a standard remedy for sore throat,
particularly if the throat feels raw.
Sickness of the stomach is most
promptly relieved by drinking a tea
cupful OF hot soda and water. Ii it
brings the offending matter up all the
better.
A teaspoonful of ground mustard in
a cup of warm water is prompt and
reliable emetic, and should be resorted
to in cases OF poisoning or cramps in
the stomach from over-eating.
Hot milk is a good medium in which
to give children castor oil. Take a

Cooking Husbands.

Miss CorsOn said at the Baltimore
cooking school that Baltimore lady
had written a recipe for cooking hus-
bands so as to make them tender and
good" 1t is as follows: "Agood many
husbands are utterly spoiled by mis-
management. Some women 90 about
it as if their husbands were bla1ders,
and blow them up. Others keep them
constantly in hot water; Others let
them freeze by their carelessness and
Indifference. Some keep them in a
stew by irritating ways and words.
Others roast them. Some keep them
in a pickle all their lives. 1t cannot
be supposed that any husband will be
tender and good managed thus, but
they are really delicious when proper
ly treated. In selecting your husband
you should not be guided by the sill
very appearance, as IN buying mack
erel, nor by the golden tint as if you
wanted salmon. Be sure to select him
yourself, as tastes differ. Do not 90
to market for him, as the best are al
ways brought to your door. 1t is far
better to have none unless you will
patiently learn how to cook him. A
preserving of the finest porcelain is
best, but if you have nothing but an
earthenware napkin, it will do with
care See that the linen in which you
wrap him is nicely washed and mended
with the required number of buttons
and strings nicely sewed on. Tie him
in the kettle by a strong silk cord
called comfort, as the one called duty
is apt to be weak. They are apt to fly
out of the kettle and be burned and
crusty on the edges, sincelike crab and
Holsters, you have to cook them while
alive. Make a steady fire out of love,
neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as
near this as seems to agree with him.
If he sputters and fizzles, do not be
anxious; some husbands do this until
they are quite done. Add a little
sugar in the form of what CONNECTION
ers call kisses, but no vinegar or pep
per on any account. A little spice inn
proves them, but it must be used with
Judgment. Do not stick any sharp in.
struments into him to see if he is be
coming tender. Stir him gently, watch
the while lest he lie too fiat and close
to the kettle and so become useless.
You cannot fail to know when he is
well done. If thus treated you will
find him very digestible, agreeing nice
ly with you and the children, and he
will keep as long as you want, unless
you become careless and set HMM too
cold a place"

Advantages of Broad Tires.

We learn that J. w. Sanborn OF the
Missouri Agricultural College, has been
making some experiments to demon
strate the value OF good roads and
broad wagon tires on roads and farm
wagons. He says that the condition
OF the country road is one OF the sur
est indications of the civilization of
the people. The trials were made
with a carefully tested dynamometer:
the loads drawn We're 1865 pounds
each, and the felloes and tires were IL
and 3 inches respectively. The first
test was on blue grass sward, some
what moist, though it had not rained
for two weeks. The average draft OF
the narrow-tired wagon was 439
pounds-whilet that OF the wide-tired
was 80 pOunds-a difference of over
Al pounds in favor of the wide tire.
Assuming the wagons to weigh 1000
pounds each, the same team could
draw 3, PAS on the wide tire as easily
as 1000 on the narrow, and, besides
this, the wide tires didnot cut through
and lnlure the turf as the Others did.
In a further test, on partially dried
dirt road, the broad wheels showed a
draft OF 81 pounds. to AL pounds

for the narrow, being 1877 per cent. in
favor of broad tires, so that with the
same wear and tear of team the broad
tired wagon could carry 331 pounds
per ton load more than the other. Al
though these differences disappear on
hard, well-made roads, he concludes
that every farm should have one or
more broad-tired wagons, and says
the teamsters on the college farm al
ways prefer such for use about the
farm. We have long known the value
of broad tire for farm wagons, and
have such a one for all work on raw

for itself by saving the team.-Farm

The Sunny Side.

Everybody should live on the sun
ny side of their houses as much as
possible, and allow the suns genial
rays to penetrate the rooms. Dark
ened parlOrs are fashionable evils.
True, it is gloomy enough to be ush-
cred into tomb-like apartment,
where one can scarcely grope his way
to a seat, and to discover, when he is
accustomed to the dim light, that ev-
cry chair and sofa has on its linen
cluster" apparently equipped for
travelling to some unknown land.
But ladies must have their carpets
kept bright and fresh even if the
cheeks are paler for it. And so the
shutters are tightly closed and the
heavy curtains drawn. But for the
sake of health and beauty, ladies, let
this be done only in the "best par
lor," if it must be done. Let the
rooms where the family live be cheer
full and sunny.
