REQUIRES JUDGMENT.
starting n Herd OF ThorouEhbreds IL
a. serious Undertaking.

starting n Herd OF Thorough brcda IL
a serious Undertaking.
We have received numerous inquiries
from young breeders throughout the
country Of late, asking our advice as to
the adyisability of starting in the pure
bred swine business, and how they shall
go about IL TO build up a herd. This
is subject upon which we do not wish
TO give advice, says the Prairie Farmer,
for the reason that very much OF the
success of the swine breeding business
depends upon the adaptabilityN Of the
breeder TO the business. Where one
breeder will succeed and make money
out of the business, another, under like
conditions, will totally fail, and this is,
perhaps, wholly due TO the want Of
his liking to the business or his judg-
ment in carrying on the business.
We do not know OF any time in the
history of pure-bred swine breeding
when there was so favorable an oppor-
tunity for young men to work into the
business. But IL must be done i'm n
careful, judicious way. and expansion
must come with maturing Judgment.
There Is a constantly Increasing de
mand for the best sort of pigs that ex-
perienced breeders can raise. and we
think that the demand for them will
not decrease for many years to come.
Our first advice would be 10 all who
wish 10 enter the business to post them
selves up well as to details-not only
as to the proper handling and manage
ment of the old and the young stock,
but as to the breeding Of popular fam
lilies and getting them into line with
such stun as there will likely be de-
mand for
There would be just as much reason
In a manufactures loading Up his wnre-
house with a lot Of goods for which he
anticipates q demand after awhile, but
for which there was no present call, as
there Is for breeder 10 raise uncalled
for stun. a breeder must produce Just
such things as the buyer wants, and In
the taste Of the buyer changes year after
year the breeder must change with him.
II is all right in sentiment TO educate
the buyers up TO what you have TO SELL
IL you can do il, but many have found
this process uphill work.

Deafness Cannot lie cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition OF the mu
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inllamed you have a urmbling
sound or imperfect hearing and whom 1t il
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 20 its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that

FARM AND GARDEN.

A Handy Farm Wagon md Reliable
Harvester Combined.


The handy wagon, shown herewith,
use fully as much as do my ordinary
farm wagon. To build 1t l used six
hard pine planks, a, ~ inches wide and
IA inches thick. The two middle
planks, al and az, are II feet long,
the outside planks, a n, two on each
side, are IA feet. They are bolted to-
gether with a two by six piece, b, on top
at each end, with fiye-sixteen inch bolts.
At the front end OF the two middle
planks on the under side put an old
wagon rocker iron plate, e; on the up
per side piece Of two by six, c, d, bolt
ed through the old rocker plate; bore
a hole for king-bolt. About "A feet
from the hind end, bolted with three
eighths-inch bolts a piece Of four by
six hard pine, c, eight feet long for the
hind axle. For wheels / bought two
old mowers, took them apart, had the
axles cut in two and bolted with clips
10 the under side of each axle, letting
them into the wood one-half OF their
thickness. The front axle is four feet
two inches long with a hole in center
for kingbolt which has a head on low
er end and hole for pin in the upper
end. The front end OF the platform can
be raised or lowered by using washers
on top of front axle A one-half inch
iron rod with loops I'm each end, one
end on the kingbolt, the other bolted on
top of platform, is TO pull by. The
front end has TO be kept up 10 under
side of front axle TO keep from bending
the kingbolt. The tongue Is framed
into cross-piece three feet long and
braced with iron braces The tongue is
fastened 10 front axle by eye bolts. On
the tongue just back of evener is bolted
an old mower spring with seat so that a
man in the seat will nearly balance the
tongue. Use the evener for foot rest.
We use it to cut all OF our corn for
fodder by boiling n knife on the under

Of bristles have always come, and prob
ably will continue TO do so, from Rus

the brlstles from the wild hog az II

Kansas Man Gives the Results OF

The Rural World has on many occn-
fions said that an acre Of water devoted
20 fish culture would bring much larger
returns than IL devoted TO general farm
ing. Mr.. Lyons, of Kansas, has been
raising fish and has ponds devoted to
them, as well as furnishing ice for win
ter. Many of the fish live on crawfish
and other natural food about the ponds.
But that is not sufficient to supply the
vast number there now. Mr. Lyons
feeds them corn. He grinds IL by steam
power and then steams the meal. Five
bushels Of this ground steamed corn is u
feed for each Of the two principal ponds.
