END OF THE
CENTURY HOG.

As compared with years
ago, we have a new hog. He
is new in his make up, lives
fat and dies early tor profit
and hence is handled different
Iy from what he used to be.
The demands on him are new
also. Instead Of a year and a
half old, he must mature in
seven or eight months. A
writer on this subject says that
now the feeding weight of the
hog Of commerce is rs or
200 pounds, instead of 800 or
$50, as formerly. This writer
says that hogs of $50 pounds
of dead weight and upward
could hardly be produced with
out their being wintered over.

Although the Canadian au-

Use plenty of seed for farm and gar
den crops. 1t is not safe to be too
economical with seed unless there are
indications at the time Of planting
which insure termination. The loss Of
one or two weeks time early in the
spring, by being compelled to replant,
is not only an expenditure Of labor, but
Is also costing time that cannot be re-
gained. Some crops require long sea-
son during which to mature, and the
best growth is made early in the year.
When a large portion Of the seed fails
to terminate the crop may be either
a total loss or fail to pay its cost.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated Of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh IL
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect 1t. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew Of
such treatment producing cure.
They can not reach the seat Of the dis
ease, as the experience Of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do

In the treatment Of Catarrh, s. S.
