largely by agriculturists was very any

country, but the latter had some doubt
as to the animals speed. The two
agreed upon certain day for drive
in the park, and in the meantime the
hotel man had not been idle. They
were bowling along at a pace which WAS
scarcely calculated to create any grea:

POISONOUS HOG BITES.
Antiseptlcs Should Be Applied to the
Wound without Delay.

Wound without Delay.
1t is serious thing to be bitten by
any animal for even though there may
be no poisonous glands, the saliva in
the mouth of animals that bite is al
ways more or less poisonous. The bite
of the hog is more apt to be serious than
that of any other domestic animal. 1t
requires skill and activity to handle
large numbers of hogs without en-
dangering those who hold them. The
hog is an omnivorous eater, and is not
at all particular about getting particles
of dirt or eXcrement with it's food. Old
hogs, which are most apt to bite, often
destroy mice and snakes, and though
they get no venom in their mouths, it
will poison wherever such saliva
reaches abraded skin. No one who
has a sore on his hand should be called
upon to assist in butchering hogs, as
be may be infected from contact with
the saliva without being bitten. In all
cases of bite or cut wash of some
antiseptic should be applied. Diluted
carbolic acid in the proportion of one
to fifty of water is good, as is also a
wenk dilution of corrosive sublimate in
proportion of one of the poison to 1000
or 1000 parts of pure water. These
poisons thus diluted do no harm, and
they will prevent poisons from working
in cuts and bruises of any kind.-Ameri-

SUCCESS WITH SWINE.
An Bpitomo of theMethods Pursued by
Prosperous Indiana Man.


In speaking of swine breeding by
the professional breeder and also by
the general farmer, James Riley, before
the Huntington county farmers insti
tute, said, although there was depres
sion in the swine market, he would
advise going ahead regardless of tho
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
hog house and a hog ranch. The hog
house should be SO arranged that it is
easy of access from the several LOIS
into which the feeding ranch is di.
vided, and provided with feeding floors,
sleeping rooms, water fountains and
properly constructed feeding troughs,
Hogs must have clean quarters and per.
feet 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 vigof. Every farmer
should educate himself upon the points
that make good hog. Plenty of clover
pasture should be 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 slops
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 nc
grain until they weigh about 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.
but feeds it ground to his hogs. He
does not cook it. Claims it is healthier
raw; also more economical Advises
growing beets for swine.
Regards care and good sanitation the
best methods to keep of disease. Keep
n good quantity of slacl, lime about the
houses and use it freely. Also a barrel
CT crude carbolic acid for disinfectng
Do not permit the hogs to have filthy
wallow. If they make low places in
the lots, fill them up. If it rains and
water stands in the low places, throw
lime in them or fill them up. Remove
the bedding often and burn it. Lime
the pens and sleeping places. Care is
The best prevention of disease. During
the cholera season the speaker does MOI
permit anyone to go into his swim,
pens without first having changed his
shoes. He keeps few pairs of shoes
about the premises for this purpose
The disease can be carried in the cloth
ing, and especially on the shoes, from
one farm to another. He does not per
nit dog to come on the farm. A dog
foot is very handy thing in which tn,

Flow to Remove Rust In Three or Four
Applications.
Buy from n drug store four ounces
of sulphuric acid and pour it carefully
into pint of water. Do not spill IA
drop of 1t on the flesh or clothing, as
it will burn like fire. Cork the bottle
tightly. When ready to use, pour a
little on the rusty surface, and let it
soak in; when dry give another coat.
If the plow is very rusty three or four
applications may be required. Scour

floor in barn, free from rain or snow.
A pillow thus treated will scour bright

team, the furrow will turn over with
out a break. When the plow is being
cleaned is proper time to examine
the nuts and bolts to see that they are
all screwed up, and that the threads of
bolts are not so much worn as to work

Vinegar by a Quick Process.

Vinegar may be made in very short
time by d sort of tiltering process that
can be handled by any person of OF dis
nary ingenuity, A large barrel has q
perforated shelf, fitted in few inches
below the top. From the holes fall ends
of packed thread, which are knotted at
the upper end so that they may not be
drawn entirely through. GLASS tubes
are fixed in the 'shelfas air vents. The
lower edge of the barrel is filled with
holes, placed about six inches above the
bottom, and siphon carries off the
liquid that accumIlates below this
point. Diluted alcoholic liquor, slight
ly sweetcned with honey or with ex
tract of malt, is slowly dripped through
the holes in the shelf. and runs through
beechwood shavings that have previous.
ly been stepped in good vinegar. The
liquor, which should be kept at tenn
perature Of rs TO IS degrees Fahrenheit
filters down through the threads and
over the snavings to the bottom OF the
barrel, whence it runs over through the
siphon. After awhile the tempera,ur,
in the barrel rises to about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, the chemical nctiefp gcing

NJ the Largest Nursery in the World.
From the 81. Louis Republic
The county of Pike is older than the State
Of MISSOURI itself, having been laid out In
1910. The town of Louisiana was laid out
In the Same year, so that Louisiana, Mo,
and the estate of Pike came into history
at the same time.
When the Territorial Government estab-
lished Pike County its southern boundary
was the northern line Of st. Charles Coun.
ty. The western line was along the divide
between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
to the extreme northern line of the Terri
tory OF Upper Louisiana, and extended
to the Pacific Ocean on the west and to the
forty-ninth degree of north latitude
One of the biggest institutions in Louisi-
ana, Mo-, is the Stark Bros. Nurseries
Eighty years ago there came from Kentucky
to Pike County the late Judge Stark, then a
young mau fresh from Old Hickory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
aud planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than !, 900 statesmen and wants
as many more; business men, professional
men, mechanics, farmers and others, how
ever inexperienced, are taught the business
md work the year round-r eceiving good
pay weekly. The company employs more
people in its offices than would be necessary
torun a large manufacturing concern. The
extensive paclSing-houses are connected
with the railroad by special track whence
hundreds Of car loads of trees are shipped
annually. The nursery grounds embrace a
number OF farms convenient to the city, and
even extend to Rockport, Ill.,, where there
Is plant of several million trees.
A popularity Of the conc ern is the estab
ishment of large orchards. These orchards
N "a states, aggregate nearly 80, 0C0 acres
5,NO,o trees, on the partne rship plan. The
firm is also interested in nearly as many
more trees on the cooperative arrange
ment. The Nurseries have been bene-
fetal not only to their home, but Missouri
owes no little of her prestige as fruit
growing region to the progress and work OF
| development of this firm.
