abundant crops In tho west have not
made the farmers FREQ buyers, because
prices for nearly all kinds of farm
products rule now, and In many cases
very low. Tho closcnoRs of the times
since 1899 has taught n lesson Of econ

learned II along with his city brethren.
This lesson Ia that II Is best In the
matter Of expenditure to SO no faster

better to do without some things than
to be brought to the verge Of insanity
by the worry and anxiety involved In
dcVising ways and means to pay for
them, Farmers are therefore going
slow. and this has produced another
result. 1t has largely reduced tho num-
Der of agents who are travelling
through the country selling all kinds
of merchandise. The success of those
agents Ia no limited that II Is no longer
profitable to keep them In the field to
tho extent II was when the farmer was
n free buyer. The employer does not
like to risk the salnry, and the agent
has been taught by experience that he
can not afford to do business III Il com
mission. Some honest agents In lcgitl-
mate lines are Btll nj work, but the
percentage OF dishonest ones engaged
In pushing schemes that are not legiti-
mate remains large, The reason for 1t
Is that these schemes involve oxor-
bitant profits Tho nearer they come
to getting the victim 4 money f0I moth
Ing the more likely they are to remain
out when victims are few. because
what they do got IL pretty much all
clear gain. In times like these. there

on his guard against fraudulent travel
ing agents. llo should be quite sure
that he knows just what he IL doing
before dealing with them. What we
say here IL not meant TO advise the
breaking off of all commerce Of this
kind. a nurheryman IN ones own or
the next county may have enterprise

not needed ut fair prices DO not as

BROWN AND BLACK.

One Of the odd combinations that
will be much in favor this winter is
brown with black A black satin
skirt, for instance, to be worn with a
brown coat or long brown cape, and
a brown hat trimmed with black. The
combination cannot be made pretty,
but II handsome woman dcns II II
will carry "a heap Of style" and that
is all that's necessary.

We once know Of u man that bought
a good many cows every year for his
city dairy. It was before the advent
Of the BahcoCk test. and for that roa-
son he was very eNcusablo In using a
more primitive mode. He would get
the milk of the COW offered for sale
and set II over night in n goblet, II
II showed good thick cream In the
morning, he bought tho COW, provided
her milking capacity was fairly good.
This might do for COWS to be used In
n milk dairy, but II would be very UNI
reliable for cons to be used In cream
cry or for the private dairy, This, for
two reasons; First some cream IL
much more compact than others. and q
COW whose cream was tlve-s ixtocnths
of an inch thick might really contain
less butter fat than ono four sixtoonths.
inches thick, Second, the cream I'M
some milk rises very much slower than
in other lots, due largely to the size
OF the butter globulc.

The direct loss from hog cholera and
swine plague in the state of Indiana
this fall is placed at figure probably
JXccoding 100000 which fact lends tho
Purdue experiment station to publish
a bulletin on the prevention of the
diseases. The following suggestions
are made:
These diseases being due TO germs
can not exist without the germs being
present. They are taken into the
body with the food water and air. The
closer animals come In contact, tho
greater the possibilities of spreading;
hence, healthy and diseased animals
should be separated as soon as the
disease Is recognized Tho healthy
hogs should be taken from the sick and
not the sick from the we'll, M In the
latter case the cXcremcnt and secre-
lions containing the contagious princi-
pies are left IN the pen, on the ground,
straw and troughs During an out
break II Ia better to have tho herd di-
vided In lunches of about fifteen. in
small pastures, rather than n large
herd in n largo field.
The hogs should not have access TO
ponds or wnllows. AZ this affords fla
vorablo conditions for the germs. Tho
drinking water should be from deep
wells. The food should be clean and
often changed. If a hog has been sep
arated from the herd and RECEIVERS II
should not be returned to the herd for
several weeks as II II capable of Civ
Ing the disease to others although II
may appear to be perfectly well Hogs
should not be placed in pens whore the
disease has been for three months. All
dead animals should be burned or
buried deeply in places whore hogs Will
not graza for year. Diseased hogs
should not be driven through lanes or
other public highways The healthy
hogs should be cared for first and then
the diseased, otherwise disease bearing
material may be conveyed to the
healthy Clean the pens, use plenty
of air-slaked lime on the floors before
using again,
Special attention should be paid TO
the suggestion that at the breaking
out of the disease the healthy hogs
should be taken away from the sick,
and not the sick away from the well,
for II the well be left In the diseased
quarters, the exCrement, troughs, soil
and other surroundings which have
had an opportunity 10 become infected,
will be almost certain TO cause the
disease 10 run through he entire herd.
The bulletin also gives the formula
suggested "A year or 80 ago by the bu-
reau Of animal Industry as proven
tive. This formula consists OF one
round each OF wood charcoal, sulphur,
sodium sulphate and anthony sui
phide, with two pounds each Of sodium
chloride, sodium hyposulphIte and so

Engineering by a Mouse.

''While digging holes for telegraph poles at
Byron, Me-" said q Western Union man. Il
became Interested in watching the ingenuity
and perseverance of a mouse.
He fell into one of the holes which was
four and half inches deep and twenty
inches across. The first day he ran around
the bottom of the hole. trying to find some
means of escape, but could not climb out.
1.-The second day he settled down to bust
ness. He began steadily and Systematically
to dig a spiral groove round and round the
inner surface OF the hole with a uniformly
ascending grade. He worked night and
day, and as he got further from the bottom
he dug little pockets where he could either
lie or sit and rest. Interested witnesses
threw In food.
'.At the end of two weeks the mouse struck
q rock This puzzled him. For nearly
a day he tried to get under, around, or over
the obstruction. but without success. With
unfiinehing patience he reversed his spiral
and went on tunnelng htg way In the op-
posite direction
AT the end Of four weeks he reached the
top, and probably sped away to enjoy his
weilearued freedom. Hts escape was not
seen. When his food was pat In I'm the
