The Prize Hog Trough.

To scald hogs of to cwt. a
common tub is inadequate. Moth
ing is better than the tank or trough
shown. says Farm and Home, 1t
should be made of loft. plank two
inches thick. The bottom of one end
of the trough is beveled to facilitate
the work of sliding the porker in and
out. For the same purpose a roller
placed as shown is a great aid, and also
for turning the hog over for complete
scalding. A frame is hinged to the
under side of the beveled end to sup
port it while the hog is being drawn
out. This can be buttoned close to

household hints.

EGG stains can be removed by rub
bling them with common table salt.
EASE tired feet by bathing them in
warm water in which few Jumps of
saleratus have been dissolved.
USE a wire frame for boiling pota-
toes, and see how much of vexation
it saves and how satisfactory the
result.
To REMOVE stains of blood, satur-
ate the spots in kerosene and let
stand time, afterward wash out in
warm water.
To KEEP flies off gilt frames, boil
three or four onions in pint of
water, then apply with soft brush
to the frames.
BY rubbing with flannel dipped in
whiting the brown discoloration may
be taken off cups which have been
used for baking.
A PRETTY lamp screen may be
made by sticking an ordinary palm
leaf fan into long-necked bottle and
covering the whole with some bright
cOlOred figured silk.
A SIMPLE cough remedy is made Of
an ounce of flaxseed boiled in pint
of water, a little honey added, an
ounce of rock candy. and the juice Of
three lemons, the whole mixed and
boiled well.
LAMP-w1CKs must be changed often
to insure good light, as they will
soon become clogged, and the oil does
not pass through Them freely. A
clear flame will be certain if the wicks
are soaked in vinegar twenty-four
hours before using.

Intensive Farming.

Year by year we are coming nearer
the farming that has long prevailed
in Europe. In the Eastern States
the aim is to grow large crop upon
a small area, while in the far West
the total only is looked at, and acres
are completely worthless. But things
are changing. Land is going up as
the fertility is going down, and soon
it will be necessary to base every
thing upon the market value of a
load of dung. There is much comfort
in this for the Eastern farmer. who
needs to use every scrap of fertilizer
he can rake and scrape together. He
can afford to dissipate the effect of
a ton of fertilizer upon a ten acre
field. He feels that he cannot sow it
broadcast upon single acre, but
carefully places handful in each hill
Of corn or potatoes. Manure is as
much factor in farming as seed, and
the load from the barnyard goes
ahead of the seed bag from the
granary. Till well what Is titled.

For transporting it use stone boat,
or rude runners may be built perma-
nently on the bottom of the trough
for it to ride upon. Sled shoes will
do, as at B. A piece of inch hose, G,
is forced through an auger hole at the
bottom and is used for the double
purpose of heating the water by steam

Specks in Butter.

Butter never has specks when the
cream is taken off before the milk is
sour, kept warm and churned before
the milk has thickened in it, say be-
fore twenty-four hours. Should specks
occur, brine washing is great aid in
removing them, for If the butter is
washed at the granular stage with
considerable water, the washing will
go out with the water. Specks of
dry cream will 90 out with the water,
while specks or flakes of cheese be-
come harder by the same test.

There are indeed poorer establish
ments, occupied by younger or less
enterprising farmers, but improve
ment has been general if not univer-
sal. Beyond the Mississippi are
newer lands, more recent improve
ments, made by men who went into
that region with scarcely more than
willing hands and stout hearts, and
their investments have virtually been
created with hard and patient labor.
In the enthusiasm of success assured
by strong will and stout muscles, they
have borrowed from friends in the
older States, or from banks; and they
are paying up their Indebtedness rap
idly. A reliable and successful
farmer of the West declares that he
can purchase a farm of 100 acres at
500 per acre and pay its cost with
the profits of cultivation in five years.

L0meness OF Ducks.

When ducks become lame from no
apparent cause, it is usually due to
their sleeping quarters being damp,
says Farm and Fireside. Ducks are
easily affected in the feet and legs by
dampness and cold. They will re-
main in the water for hours, but they
are then exercising. When they re-
turn to their quarters they require a
dry place. The most successful per-

Is This Not So?

How to handle the milk, manufac-
ture it, and place it upon the market
in its best form, and know the needs
of the consumer, is just as important
as to know and own dairy cow, feed
and care for her, and give direction
and increased value to her progeny.
1t is dairy knowledge and understand
ing that we all stand so much in need
of. A man may be good breeder Of
dairy stock. may be even scientific
feeder, and then fail in the disposal
of the milk of his herd. The dairy
man must do more than keep his
cows well fed, housed, and furnish
them clean water to drink. He in
manufacturing, must discard the
''rule of thuhb," and guess work.
An intelligent system ofmilk setting,
cream ripening, oft churning, gran
ulation of butter, and quick drlivery,
must go with the better herd.-Prac-
tical Farmer.

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.
The Family Doctor.

FELONs. persons are liable
to extreme suffering from felons on
the finger. The following receipt is
recommended as a cure for the dis
tresslng ailment: Take common rock
salt, such as is used for sailing down
pork or beef, dry it in an oven; then
pound 1t fine and mix with spirits Of
turpentine in equal parts. Put it on
rag and wrap it around the part af-
fected, and as it gets dry put on
more, and in twenty-four hours you
are cured-the felOn is dead.
GROUP Bi-chromate of pOtassa in
minute doses-as much as will rest
on the point of penknife- given
every half hour till relief is obtained;
it is the best remedy we have ever
tried. Mustard plasters on the an
kles, wrist and chest will draw the
blood from the throat and relieve it,
cloths wrung from hot water and
placed ABOUT the chest and throat
and wrapped with flannel, give relief.
A teaspoonful of alum pulverized and
mixed with twice its quantity of SUI
gar, to make it palatable, will give
almost instant help. Another remedy
is the following: Take equal parts of
soda or saleratus and syrup or molas-
ses; mix and give teaspOonful for a
child years, larger dose for older
children, smaller for nursing babies.
Repeat the doses at short intervals
until the phlegm is all thrown up,
and upon each recurrence OF the
SYMPTOMS.

Breeding and Feeding Hogs.

Breed sows not less that year old
of good strong bone and muscle. Give
them plenty of ashes to prevent chol-
era, and burn all corn cobs, stalks
and other rubbish and feed these
ashes with salt. Sow wheat, clover,
and sorghum for pasture. Hogs should
have good hay sheds to protect them
from wind, sun, rain, and cold.

Excursion Rates.


At the meeting of the Transmissouri
Passenger association held in Omaha, it
was agreed by lines in interest that the
same tourist rates from the Missouri
river and Kansas points should be given
this year as were in force last year, and
at about the same dates of sale.
An open rate of one and third
fare from all Kansas points to Topeka
during the state Sunday school conven-
ton, May 1912 was agreed upon.
All the lines of the Transmissouri as
ISOLATION, except one not represented in
the meeting, agreed to one-fare rate
to the democratic national convention in
June from all western territory.
The annual state convention, Kansas
republican league, to be held in Topeka
March 1 and 2, was given one and
one-third fare rate.
The Swedish Lutheran Augustana
synod of Lindsborg, May 26 to June
10, was granted rate of one and one
third fare.
A one and one-third fare rate was
given the annual session, south Kansas
conference, Methodist Episcopal church
a Ottawa, March Gil.
The Arkansas valley annual confer
ence of the United Brethren church, to
be held in Winfield March 2-6, was
allowed rate of one and one-third fare.
The southwest Kansas annual confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Winfield March 1921 will be given a
rate of one and one-third fare.
Lawyers and Damage Suits.
The Insurance and Investors Maya
zine, of Kansas City, in it's February
number, quotes the following article re-
garding Lawyers and Damage Suits
from the Boston Standard:
Everybody but a certain class of
lawyers will applaud Judge Gresham's
stern rebuke administered the other day
to Charles w. Monroe, Chicago attor-
ney, who visited man injured by rail-
road train to learn if there was any basis
for damage suit. L don't say you
were guilty of showing your services on
this man unsolicited said the Judge, in
dignantly, but it looks bad, sir, very
bad. If railroad trains run over people
or injure them, the railroads should be
held accountable for proper damages.
But I don't like the way lawyers Of a
certain class have of rushing of to peo-
pie as soon as they are injured and
forcing their legal services on them; and
the public does not like it either. Law
yers who do this sort Of thing ought to
be disbarred, and if I ever get another
one of them before me I will disbar him.
We trust the Judge will not stop with
railroad lawyers of certain class but
will extend the disbarment proceedings
to those who make business of hunting
up clients against insurance companies,
and manufacturing cases which, nine
times out Of ten, in all probability would
be settled amicably and satisfactorily by
the insurer and the assured, without
the Intervention of these legal harpies"

Animal Odor IN MIX.

There is a great deal of talk among
dairymen about the animal odor in
milk. We have always noticed that
there was great deal more of it in
winter than in summer. Perhaps the
following from the Farming World,
of Edinburgh, Scotland, will throw
some light On the subject: '1f one
will test the milk of COWS kept in
filthy byres, and upon whose sides
filth is permitted to collect in adj
herent flakes. in this way the foul
ness will be very apparent. This
odor has been called sometimes the
animal odor, and has been thought
to be inseparable from a COW. This
is wholly untrue. 1t is the OdOr OF
filth which has every characteristic
of manure, and which is discharged
with the milk because it could not
escape through the skin, which is the
natural outlet for it, and by which it
would escape freely and imperceptibly
if the skin were kept clean and in
healthful action by means of thorough
grooming every day." Good ventila-
tion of stables will helpin the matter.
