LIVE STOCK NOTES.

To supply more than is eaten up
ut once is wasteful.
Regularity in feeding is an impor
tant item in fattening hogs.
Excessive sweating of horse when
ct work is a very good sign of weak
ness.
Any kind of live stock will depreciate
Ia value when cut short in their ra-
lions.
Pigs should be fed for the greater
growth Of bone and muscle, rather than
Of fat.
All classes of stock need a supply
If salt where they can help them
selves.
That farming pays best, other things
being equal, which produces the most
manure.
The man that always feeds his stock
we'll is the man that makes stock feed
ing pay.
The manure that can be secured from
the stock should pay for the work Of
feeding them.
Save and apply all the manure pos
sible. It is an exceptional case when
land is too rich.
OF all animals on the farm the sheep
Is usually credited with being the best
weed and brian eater.

FACTs FOR FARMERS.

Every hog feeder should know at
what weight to sell.
Ewes should always be in thrifty
condition when bred.
Every feeder should know the ration
that is best for his animals.
Kind treatment generally begets a
gentle disposition in horse.
Plenty of salt and water will help to
maintain good health with hogs.
On many farms during the fall
months is one of the best times to
drain.
The corn shocking should be pushed
now. Get it all under shelter as soon
as possible.
It is poor economy to feed wet fod-
der to stock by scattering on the
ground on rainy day.

i was ia creamery ia the southern

The peokI e Of the vilI6Ee evidently re-
allied that they had good thing in the
very cheap, sweet skinned milk
The price paid for milk was about II
cents per hundred weight. Now i the
factory sold the milk in gallon lots at
that price it naturally follows hat the
farmers that sold the whole milk could
have bought back the SKINNED milk at
even less. The value of that milk 1t
fed to hogs was from IL to 20 cents. If
fed with corn and counting the fertil-
izer in the undigested portions. Recent
figures from our experiment stations
show that in 100 pounds of such milk
there is enough nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash to bring the manurial value
lid to ten or twelve cents. AS only 20
per cent. of this is digested, it would
leave the manurial value of the milk az
from seven to ten cents. Add this to the
value of the other digested portion for
the making of pork and we have value
of nearly 20 cents.
Why should farmers allow this value
TO slip away from them? Of course it
they want TO sell skim-milk to the
,ownspeople at half price. or as an act
of philanthropy, no one will find fault,
but from business standpoint it is an
unwise thing to do. Any enterprising
farmer located near such liberal
minded creamery should improve the
opportunity to secure as much as pos
sible of the milk and turn it into pork.

Unless one has visited great bicycle
factory it is not easy to appreciate the
many delicate operations that the parts
Of bicycle are subjected to, the many
tests that must be passed, and the hum
dreds of careful inspections that the
many parts must pass before they ore
considered worthy or good enough to
be assembled into bicycle of STANDARD
worth. Visitors to big mandatory
are surprised at the extent of the plant,
the perfect appointments, and air of
discipline that prevails throughout.
1t does not take the most inexperienced
long to see why it costs so much to build
q good bicycle. The most exacting care
is required; the very best materials are
necessary in every part; skilled labor of
the highest order is essential to obtain
the desired results, and if any part gets
through the inspection-room and is
afterwards found imperfect, it is moth

MIXTURE OF STRANGE BLOOD

Few Reigning Families of Same Nation
atty as the People Governed.
There is hardly reigning monarch
in Europe whose family is of the same
nationality, absolutely, as the people
governed. The house of Austria is
really the house of Lorraine, and even
Swiss. And if Emperor Francis be not,
strictly speaking, an Austrian, still less
is he a Hungarian, although he is q
king of Hungary, says London Tit
Bits.
The king of Belgium is a Saxe-Co-
burg, the king of Denmark Holsteiner,
the infant monarch of Spain is Bour-
bon, the king of Italy a Savoyard, the
king of Roumania and Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria are both foreigners,
the founder of the Bernadotte dynasty
in Sweden was born at Pau less than z
century and quarter ago, the car is
Holstein Gottorp, and the king of the
Hellenes is likewise Holsteiner.
Even in England's royal family there
is very little English blood left. The
Hohenzollerns were originally Suab-
ians, and, therefore, partly Bavarians
end partly Swiss. Neither was the his
toric house of Orange, in which patriot
ism has nearly always been the first in
stinct. Dutch to begin with.

lions.
And as to the tendency of the growth
Of great cities to enervate nations there
is no proof of it at all unless we identity
the life of great cities with the passion
for idLeness and pleasure and self-in-
diligence, which sometimes, but by no
means universally. accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get large proletariat liv-
ing, as that of ancient Rome and pos
sibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on
the aims of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions of
a thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no one can wonder at the rapid
decay of such cities and of the nations
which gloried in them. But where the
honest working class far outnumbers
the proletariat, where the middle
classes of distributors and manufac-
turers and professional men are labor
ious and energetic, and even the class
that lives on it's accumulated wealth
contains a considerable sprinkling of
serious and disinterested workers, we
DO not believe that there is the smallest
evidence of any greater danger in the
life of the city than in the life of the
agricultural village of the pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreiner's picture of the life of the
modern Beers as indicating condl-
tion of things more prolific of morbid
elements, with it's almost complete alb
sence of any stirring or active intelli-
gence, than any kind of modern life,
that is honestly laborious at all. The
Boer life is too sleepy, too destitute of
stirring thought or effort, to be alto
gcther natural. 1t needs at least the
old element of danger and necessary
vigilance to render it even bracing.

Hints About Winter Feeding and wO1
In the Pen.

Hints About Winter Feeding and Work
in the Pen.
The cheapest winter food for swine
is roots. They may not have SO much
nutriment in themselves, but they
cause the hog to get more out of his
other food, just as good clover pasture
causes the hog to get more out of grain.
Turnips and ruta bagas may be grow y
on the land from which early potatoes
or sweet corn has been removed, or q
piece of clover sod may be broken up
after the hay is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence to pour the
slop in the pigs trough, says the Farm
Journal. The fighting pigs will cause
you to spill good part Of the slop, and
resting your weight on your abdomen n.
supported by rail, is not healthfu: ex-
ercise. Pass trough through the
pen into the other trough. And If you
nail board over the top Of the first
trough the pigs cannot stop it with
their noses and waste the slop when it
is poured in. The old-fashionedw way is to
dip the buckets into the slop barrel, lift
lift them out with hard lift, all drip
ping and overlooking with the greasy
stuff, and so carry them. OF course
the man that does that gets greasy,
dirty clothes. The new way is to set
the barrel upon blocks and dish out a
place for the bucket to set, and then
put big faucet in the barrel. This
way there is no hard lifting, no buckets
greasy on the outside, no drip or over
flow.
A little pains to sun scald the troughs
II they get sour under cover will pay.
If it be damp and cloudy, scald them
out with boiling water and feed a few
handfuls of powdered charcoal to cor
rect acidity Of the hogs stomach.
