OF WOMEN AND LOVE.

How true 1t is that when love RACES,
common sense is extinct.
Before a woman can be compromised
she must compromise herself.
When a man sees no way out of diff
ficulty there is always a woman's way.
A woman can achieve more by ten
minutes of gentleness than a man can
by an hour of violent buster.
1t is so unnatural for woman to be
selfish that when she is so she is apt
to be thought more selfish than any
man can be.
A man seeks and demands woman's
first love. A woman feels more secure
when she feels that she has mans last
love.
An honest avowal of love is always
considered by a woman, whether she
rejects or accepts it, as the highest
recognition of her womanhood.
There may be nothing new under the
sun. But there are many new things
under the moon which we all pretend
to see and which nothing would per-
suade us to speak Of.

Rapid Eating.

There is prevalent idea that slow
eating is favorable to digestion, but
this is often fallacious. The important
point is not that we eat slowly or eat
fast, but that when we do eat
we chew with energy. OF course,
where the haste is due to some
mental anxiety, this may injuriously
inhibit the secretions. Slow eating be-
gets habit of simply mumbling the
food withut really masticating 1t, while
the hurried eater is inclined to swallow
his food before proper mastication.
Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid
mastication may be advantageous. 1t
concentrates our energies on the act
in question, and hence more thorough
ly accomplishes 1t. Moreover, ener-
getic chewing stimulptes the secretion
Of saliva in the most favorable manner.

A farmers success surely depends

a little intelligent effort goes much
farther than great deal Of misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sors of toll who, having wrested wealth
from the forest and field by the might
of their brawny arms, are inclined to
belittle other methods than those which
they employed, and to pooh-pooh at
what they call 'new-fangled notions"

that there can be no improvement?
Certainly not; in hardly any other oc-

knowledge, such great opportunities
for constant and important improve

make these improvements his own.

iniud,cious Feeding of Horses.

The effectiveness Of working horses,
and especially on farms, is often i'm
paired by injudicious feeding. The
subject is better understood than 1t
used to be, but there are yet far too
many instances of horses being put to
work with stomachs overloaded, and
yet not providing the nutriment needed
to give the muscular strength which
hard work always requires. Hence the
horse is always slow in his gait and
soon tires out. This overlooking the
stomach with unnutritious food Is
mainly due to the average farmers
dependence on hay as the staple and
cheapest food for horses, Really, 20
far as effectiveness goes, grain, and es-
pecially oats, are always cheaper than
hay. Liverymen and those in cities who
keep horses soon discover this fact.
They have TO buy all that their horses
eat, and learn TO discriminate. When
they feed hay exclusively they find that
the horse Is incapacitated for fast or
! hong driving on the road.-Rural World

FEEDING THE PIGS.
Errors Made the First Three Days After
Birth Are Fatal

Birth Are Fatal
The first two or three days Of the
pigs life is a critical period. II mis-
take is made by the feeder, the error
Is fatal to success. On the first day
pure water only, with the chill taken
off, should be provided.
On the second day only a thin slop
of wheat middlings must be given spar
ingly, with care to give too little rather
mixer, and II fed literally when the
pigs are small, they will not be able
10 take all the milk, and the result is
a caked udder or fever and the conse-
qnent drying up of the milk. After
the second day the feed can be grad
ually increased as the pigs are able to
take all the milk, and both sows and
pigs will thrive, and the pigs will grow
as no other live stock on farm grows.
In few days they will show by their
funny antics at play that they are feel
ing good, and are ready to make good
returns for all the feed the owner fur
nishes. provided he has the good sense
to feed just little less than the dam
will eat and thus keep her appetite
sharp and digestion good, with no risk
OF surfeit and consequent indigestion.
After every meal the trough should
be licked clean. If anything is left the
feed has been too heavy. No farmer
ought to own a brood sow who is not
observing enough to notice whether on
not anything is left in the trough after
feeding-Rural World.

TWO SWINE DISEASES.
How to Treat Animals Suffering from

Aew to Treat Animals Suffering from
Thumps or scours.
In his address before a Wisconsin
institute, S. H. Todd gave the following
remedies and treatments for two COM
mon troubles in swine:
Thumps.-You ask what to do for It?
/ say feed your brood SOW differently.
II you don't you are sure to have that
disease which has carried off SO many
thousand pigs. If you have the disease
sometimes it is good to apply coal oil on
the stomach of the pig, bathing him
thoroughly, and perhaps giving him =
little; another good thing is to give the
pigs exercise, and II they won't take 1t
themselves, go in with q little switch
and drive them out. But the best thing
lie to prevent 1t, and very often 1t is
wisest to take club and give them one
more thump and get out of 1t in that
way. If they wear the disease out the
pigs will never amount to much. We
are justified in keeping only the kind Of
pigs that will return to us the greatest
profit, according to the present market
price of pork.

mistake in not feeding the mother prop
erly, and the pigs get to securing, and
they are put back for a whole week or
more. We must feed her very lightly,
and IL the pigs do commence to scour
give her teaspoonful of copperas; dis
solve it in her slop; that will regulate
the whole business. After the pigs are
two or three weeks old provide place
for them by themselves and begin to
feed them.l Here again don't make the
mistake of having one of those "
shaped troughs unless you want your
pigs to have long noses and to wrangle
over their food and spill swill all over
themselves. They want to be clean,
that is their nature, but you have pre-
vented them from being SO. Let them
have little trough by themselves and
have the feed as near like milk as you
can make it. We use oilmeal and corn;
j had rather use middlings than any
thing else, with little oilmeal. I
think that is the best pig food that we
can get. Make the food thin; use wa
ter, IL you haven't milk.

Nearly Every Civiiised Nation on Earth.
ST. Louis Republic, January 2, 1896.
One Of the largest institutions In this State
Ii the Stark Bros Nurseries and Orchards
company at Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport,
Ill. The trade Of the firm extends not only
throughout the United States, Canada, Ger
foreign countries, but 1t has number of GUS
toners both In New Zealand and Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky to Pike county the late Judge Stark,
then . young man fresh from Old Hickory's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
chard In the state, having brought the scions
on horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and Is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
Arm has more than 900 travelling solicitors,
and employs moro people in its Offices than
would be necessary to run large manufac-
turing concern. The extensive packing
houses OF the company are adjacent to the
city, connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing houses hun
dreds Of carloads Of trees are shipped an
nually. The nursery grounds embrace 9
number Of farms convenient to the city, and
even extend to Rockport, Ills, where there
is plant Of several million trees.
The popularity OF the concern Is the
establishment OF large orchards. These
orchards in "A states aggregate nearly so,
600 acres, and more than 5, 500, 900 trees on
the partnership plan. The firm is also in.

cooperative arrangement.
Louisiana firms have more travelling men
upon the road for them than any other city

largely due to the large number of men EN-.
ployed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who
furnish their men the most complete, up-to

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Sheep Bept in thrifty condition
grow the most wool.
Toa very considerable extent people
make for themselves the conditions of
life.
Even with the most carefully pre-
pared food the greater portion digested
goes to supply heat and energy.
Because poor sheer have light feeces
is not proof that fat sheep have heavy
ones.
Good stock, crops, fertility and in
dustry are essential items in good
farming.
When animals are allowed to run
down there is weakening of vitality,
and especially of the digestive organs.
AS an animal grows fat it consumes
less in proportion to size, digests less
that is consumed and gives less re-
turn.
Confirming any farm animal in dark
quarters is injurious to it and, there
fore, more or less damaging 10 the
owner.
One of the reasons why many fail to
make farming as profitable as they
might is because of lack of attention
to details.
In nearly all cases it is unwise TO
discard all of the old sows ut one time
and supply their places with young
untried ones.

vert the largest amount Of food into
