OF WOMEN AND LOVE.

How true II Is that when love RACES,
common sense Is extinct.
Before 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 gentlencss than man can
by an hour of violent buster.
1t is so unnatural for n 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 n woman's
first love. a woman feels more secure
when she feels that she has mans last
love.
An honest nvowal of love is always
considered by woman, whether she
rejects or accepts il, 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 10 speak OF.

INTELLIGENT EFFORT.
Upon It Depends the Success of Every
Farmer I'm America

Upon It Depends the Success OF Every
Farmer I'm America
A farmers success surely depends
upon effort, but in reckoning the value
of his effort, the quality IL OF greater
importance than the other amount.
A little intelligent effort goes much
farther than great deal OF misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sons 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 "ncw-fangled notions"
but times and conditions change, and
we must change with them. The law

chanic in every line, IL he would
achieve the greatest success, studies
constantly and never fails 10 adopt
every good new thing he finds; would
the farmer belittle his vocation by say
ing Il is SO purely the work of drudgery
that there can be no improvement?
Certainly not; In hardly any other oc-
cupation of man is there such a broad
field for the application of scientific
knowledge, snch great opportunities
for constant and important improve
ments, and IL is upon his ability to
make these improvements his own,
that the farmers success depends

The first two or three days OF the

pure water only, with the chill taken

On the second day only a thin slop

than too much. A good SOW is a great
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-
quent drying up Of the milk. After
the second day the feed can be grad
ually increased as the pigs are able 10
take all the milk, and both sows and
pigs will thrive, and the pigs will grow

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Sheep kept in thrifty condition
grow the most wool.
To very considerable extent people
make for themselves the conditions OF
life.
Even with the most carefully pre-
pared food the greater portion digcsted
goes to supply heat and energy.
Because poor sheep have light fieeces
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 IL consumes
less in proportion TO size. digests less
that is consumed and gives less re-
turn.
Combining any farm animal in dark
quarters is injurious TO IL and, there
fore, more or less damaging to the
owner.
One of the reasons why many fail TO
make farming as prohtapie aS tney
might is because of lack of attention
70 details.
In nearly all cases IL is unwise to
discard all OF the old sows at one time
and supply their places with young
untried ones.
The COW which will proftably con-
vert the largest amount of food into
rich milk or cream Is the most profit.

The effectiveness Of working horses,
and especially on farms, Is often linz
paired by injudicious feeding. The
subject il better understood than IL
used TO be. but there are yet far 10
many instances OF horses being put 10
work with stomachs overloaded, and
vet not providing the nutriment needed
TO give the muscular strength which
hard work always requires. Hence the
horse In always slow In his gait and
soon tires out. This overlooking the
stomach with unnutritious food is
mainly due 10 the average farmers
dependence on hay as the staple and
cheapest food for horses. Really, "a
far MS effectiveness goes. grain, and es
pccially oats, are always cheaper than
hay. Livcrymen ard 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 incapncitatcd for fast OF
long driving on the rowi. - Rural World

In his address before a Wisconsin
institute. s. III. Todd gave the following
remedies and treatments for two COM
mon troubles in swine:
Thumps.--You ask what 10 do for lit
i say feed your brood sow differently.
IL you don't you are sure TO have that
disease which has carried off so many
thousand pigs. II you have the disease
sometimes IL 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 IL they won't take II
themselves, go in with little switch
and drive them out. But the best thing
is to prevent IL, and very often IL is
wisest to take club and give them one
more thuinp and get out of IL in that
way. II they wear the disease out the
pigs will never amount TO much. VS.
are justified in keeping only the kind OF
pigs that VIII return 10 us the greatest
profit. according TO the present market
price of pork.
Scours.-How many times we make a
mistake in not feeding the mother prop
erly. and the pigs get to securing, AMI
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 a 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. 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 10 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 IL. We use oilmeal and corn;
j had rather use middlings than any
thing else, with a little oilmeal. /
think that is the best pig food that we
can get. Make the food thin; use wa
ter, IL you haven't milk.

The Moon Out Of order.

There was great excitement in as
tronomic circles in the city of Brussels
not long ago. The moon had gotten out
of order and refused, apparently, to
follow the course which had beer
marked out for her for all eternity.
The situation was grave. Calculation
upon calculation was made by the
savants, but no solution of the phe-
nomenon seemed TO be mathcmatically
obtainable. Itwas discovered that both
the fixed stars and the planets were
affected in exactly the same way. The
whole universe was out OF orderl For
tunately, the poor, ignorant public had
not yet gotten wind OF the affair, when
Il occurred 10 some one OF the astron-
omers that the fault might well be
Ina the observatory itself, and not in
the general machinery OF the universe.
The observatory of Brussels Is OF com
paratively recent construction. IL Is
supposed TO have been built in accord
ance with the latest attainments OF
science and art, but, unfortunately, 10
was placed, contrary 10 Biblical admoni-
ton. upon Hill OF sand, and the foun-
dations which the plans required 10 be
some 80 feet deep were only 12 or IS.
The sparing of labor and material
caused the building to lose its level,
and to slip gradually away from it's
proper position. This movement threat
ems 20 continue. But. as 10 the conduct
of Dame Luna, the scientists are COM
pletely treasured. having revised their
calculations with due allowance for the
enforced bias Of vision.--St. Louis Re
