NOVEMBER CARE OF FARM STOCK.


Now is the time to look to the condition
of all live farm stock. Every intelligent
farmer will see the importance of getting
ready for the winter-and will readily see
how importantit it is to keep up the flesh
made during the summer and fall. especially
the sheep. which suffer more from the cold
rains and storms of November than through
the Sc we're frosts of the winter. The flock
should have shelter early in November,
especially the lambs, which should be in
duced 10 eat small grain ration of, say,
beans and oats of equal quantity and a
little fine hay-clover would be better.
If lambs remain in the field in late fall and
get drenched with rain, they will shiver
and suffer, especially if their wool becomes
frozen. It will take days to recover from
it, and they will be permantIy injured By
bringing them to-winter quarters early will
save in feed. and help the lambs through
the winter and bring them out in spring
with vigorous constitutions, ready to apply
the grass for rapid growth, both in sound
muscle, good flesh, and full fleece of good
wool.
The ewes and wethers should not be neg
lected at this season. There is full corn
crop and plenty of feed, and it will gener.
ally pay to feed intelligently during the
fall and winter. TheIprice of sheep and
wool is SO low that many breeders are dis
heartened and say it will not pay. 1t is
quite certain it will not pay to starye the
flock. 1t should be kept in good and
healthy conditions, ready (as we hope) for
better prices for wool and mutton.
Cattle, especially the cows in milk, need
to be made comfortable. "A feed of hay,
and small grain ration, will pay in milk
and butter. 1t is not advisable to put them
in their winter quarters , in close barn,
too soon; better let them have yard and
shed at night for awhile, before the young
stock needs the shed. Fat cattle designed
for stall feeding should not be allowed to
come to a stan dstill in making beef, but
should be kept gaining; to do this, they
must be kept from cold storms and cold
nights.
Colts may remain out, if plenty of grass
and water. with feed Of cornstalks once

ways the simple, honest, curative medi-

the healthy, long-lived people that they

This is parity owing to their simple mode
of life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion
is caused by the stomach glands not sup

LEAP-YEAR PROPOSAL.

EAh fIsOfOSALs
Probably few spinsters who have beer
trying to gather up enough courage to
take advantage of their customary priv.
ileges during leap year are aware that
in two countries at least. .and more than
800 years ago, laws were past which
gave women the right Of proposing
marriage, says writer in the Chicago
s'Tribune." These enactments went
even further than this. They also
stipulated that if the man whose hand
they sought should refuse he should in
cur heavy fac.
A searcher among the ancient rec
ords of Scotland has recently discovered
an act of the Scottish Parliament,
which was passed in the year 1888,
which runs as follows:-
"It is statut and ordaint that during
the rein of his maist blissit Megeste,
ilk for the year knowne as Lepe Yeare,
ilk mayden ladye of healthe, highe and
lowe estait, shall hae liberte to bespoke
ye man she likes, albeit gif he refuses
to talk her to be his lawful wyfe, be
shall be mulcted in ye sum of ane dun
dis or less, as bis estait may be; except
and avis gif he can make it appcare
that be is betrothit ane ither woman
he then shall be free."
A year or two later law almost
similar to this Scottish enactment was
passed In France and received the ap-.
proYal of the King. 1t is also said that
before Columbus sailed on his famous
voyage to the westward similar priv.
ilege was. granted to the maidens Of
Genoa and Florence,
There is no record extant of any fines
under the conditions of this
Scotch law, and no trace of statistics
regarding the number of spinsters who
took advantage Of 1t or of the similar
regulation in France, but the custom
seems to have taken first firm hold
upon the popular mind about that
time. The next mention of it is dated
nearly 400 years later and it is cur
ious little treatise called "Loye Court
ship and Matrimony" which was pub
lished in London In 1906, In this
quaint work the s'privilege' is thus
alluded to:-
ALBEIT it now become part of the
common law In regard to social rela-
tions OF life, there as Often as every

Because apples are SO abundant this fall,
some are disposed to undertake the worth
of this fruit. But when the value and i'm
portance of the apple crop is better under
stood, there will be no fears Of overproduc-
ton. 1t is very seldom that we have full
crop of this fruit all over the country, so
that it takes the surplus of one part to sup
ply the deficiency in others. The small
amount of labor and expense required to
produce this crop is greatly in its favor. lis
feeding value is nearly equal to that of
roots, while its cost is very much less. 1t
is long-keeping crop and will bear much
rorgh handling and exposure to cold
weather. 1t is very wholesome fruit and
should have place on our tables every
day in the year. We have no one kind of
fruit that has so many different kinds of
tastes and favors. Apples can be ground
up and made into cider and the pomace fed
to stock. They are good eaten out of the
hand, baked, boiled, stewed, fried or dried

sALTING DOWN PORK AND HAMS.
For the past twenty-seven years 1 have
used the following methods with entire
success says writer in american Agri-
calt@rist: For pork, one of the first con-
slderations is clean barrel. have used
the same barrel for the past thirty years,
and have cleaned the barrel each year as
follows. Put about three pals of water and
peck of clean wood ashes in the barrel,
then put in hot irons enough to boil the
water, cover closely. and by adding hot
iron occasionally, keep it boiling for
couple of hours. Wash the barrel thor
oughly and it will be sweet as new barrel.
Cover the bottom of the barrel with coarse
salt. Cut the pork into strips about six
inches wide, stand edgewise in the barrel.
with the skin next the outside, till the
bottom is covered, then cover with thick
coat of salt SO as to hide the pork entirely.
Repeat in the same manner till the barrel
is full or the pork is all in. Cover the top
layer with salt thickly. Let it stand about
three or four days, and then put on fiat
stone and cold water enough to cover the
pork. After the water is on, sprinkle one
quarter pound best black pepper over it.
An inch of salt in the bottom and between
each layer, and an inch and half on top,
will be sufficient to keep the pork. without
making brine. Some people make a brine
that will bear an egg, but never have.
For hams: weigh the hams, and for
one hundred pounds of meat 1 use four
pounds of the best fine salt, one pound
sugar, and four ounces saltpeter; mix
thoroughly and rub it into the a esh side of
the ham, not forgetting the shank, and
place on board or shelf; when the mixture
has struck in rub again. There will be
enough to rub the meat three times. 1t
usually takes about three weeks to COM
plete the job. Hang up Immediately and
smoke. This recipe will cure the large
and small hams just alike and just right
for cooking, as the meat will not take in
more than the right quantity. If these
directions are intelligently followed, first
quality of ham will be secured. For bacon,
use the same mixture as for hams.

The value of housework in develop
ing woman's arms and adding that
roundness and beauty to them which is
so much admired cannot be overesti-
mated. Those who have studied and
tested the matter declare that it is the
very healthiest form of exercise, and
for the average woman to be far pref
erable to the work of the masseurs,
who, even more than thirty years ago,
seem to have found plenty of patients.
"Would it not be quite as cheerful and

Stowe, in book written a generation
