FACTS FOR FARMERS.

If not done before, now is good
time to preserve and turn up the grape
vines.
All animals that die of n contagious
disease should be burned as soon as
possible.
1t is rarely {; good plan to change
the line of production, simply because
prices are low.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication that a farm animal is
out Of condition.
Considerable of the diseases among
farm stock are directly traceable to III
iudicious feed and care.
Either milk or calves that would
ultimately make large bcefers' should
be the object in keeping cows.
The ewes that are expected to ia1no
soon should be given plenty OF oppor'
tunity to take outdoor exercise
It does not pay to feed the p'ooucts
of the farm to ungrowthy STOCK
much less to buy feed for such ANIMALS

SUCCESS WITH SWINE:
an HPltomc OF the Methods Pursued BY =
Prosperous Indiana Man.

an Epitomc OF the Methods Pursued by :
Prosperous Indiana Man.
IN speaking of swine breeding by
the professional breeder and also bv
the general farmer, james Riley, before
tne Huntington county farmers insti-
tute, said, although there was a depres-
SION in the swine market, he would
advise going ahead regardless of the
low prices. Prices would be better
next year.
Preparations should be made to care
for swine before commencing in this
industry. Every farmer should have
a hog house and q hog ranch. The hog
house should be SO arranged that it is
easy of access from the several lots
into which the feeding ranch is di-
v,ded, and provided with feeding floors.
sleeping rooms, water fountains and
properly constructed feeding trougls.
hogs must have clean quarters and per-
1ect sanitation. They must have fresh
water all the time. plenty of shade in
the summer, and lots sufficiently large
to afford good exercise. BY providing
healthy quarters and keeping them
clean there would be less swine disease.
Farmers should study the makeup
and conformation of the hog. He
should be full-chested and of good
constitutional vigor. Every farmer
should educate himself upon the points
that make good hog. Plenty of clover
pasture should he provided for the hogs.
especially the brood sows. A month be.
fore narrowing time the SOW should be
put in one of the ranch lots and fed
bran Stops. After narrowing feed slop;
made partially of shorts. When the
pigs are four weeks old train them to
eat, and feed good, rich Stops made
OF shorts and milk. Feed the pigs no
grain until they weigh about a hun
bred pounds. Fat them in the clover
pasture. Raise two sets of pigs, March
and April and October.
The speaker does not sell any wheat

does not cook it. Claims it is healthier

growing beets for swine.

the best prevention of disease. During

Recent Excavations In Greece.

That which most stimulates the ardor Of
the exoavator, laboring, as he generally
must amid difficulties and disoomforts OF
all kinds, is the romantic interest Of his
pursuit-a feeling so fresh and exhilarat-
ing as to throw into the shade the proven
bal excitement Of the gold digger. No
find of gold can outweigh the rapture of
the explorer who brings old worlds into
new life. The sensation must be expert
enoed to be understood. II Is the fascina-
tlOn of a passionate love. Only n resur-
rectiOn of the dead could surpass its trans
ports. The soil which has been for ages
the faithful custodian of an inheritance
laid by in trust for the pious and worthy
worker yields to his persistent efforts the
treasures it has sheltered. It gradually
reveals the secrets 1t has guarded so long,

into being personalities not even dreamed

combined erudition of the learned was not
able satisfactorily to explain. Tho deter

luton Of civilization. The very soil in its
