INCREASE THE RATION.
AtThis Time of the Yenr Stock should
 He Fed LiberaIly.


 With all stock that is to he kent through the winter it will be found cas- fer as well as more economical to keen an animal thrifty than to allow it to run down in condition and then attemnt 10 feed 1t up. This is especially the case at this season. when dry feed must be largely depended upon.
 Of course the cost must always be considered, as it is an item to feed and keep in a good thrifty condition at as low cost as possible. At the same time 1t should be rememberd that it is never good economy to stint the feed at tho expense of growth.
 With young and growing stock, and. Ill fact, with all that are to be kept through the winter it will be found a. good plan to allow them to run out every day that the weather will permit, but at the same time too much depend ence should not be placed upon the amount of feed that they will secure in the pastures.
 Generally it will be found good plan to gradually increase the ration night -~e to be largely determined by the condi- ton of the animals. If good shelter is provided and they have been kept up in good thrifty condition, less grain is needed than when the stock are ex- posed to cold or storms, or have been al- lowed to run down iH condition. Of course roughness is usually cheaper than grain and one of the advantages i'll providing comfortable shelter is that 1t iessens the grain rations, and if care is taken to make the shelter dry and comfortable very light grain ra- tion night and morning will keep in a good condition. But care must be taken now to keep watch on the stock, other wise they may begin to fail, and this inl- plies more or less of a loss, and under present conditions if farming is to be made profitable every item must be considered with growing stock, their condition must be such that a steady gain can be maintained until sufficient ly matured to pick for market.-Farm- cr's Voice.

WEAVING THE PIGS.
How It Can He Done Without stunt ing the Little Creatures.


 never saw my way of weaning pigs described in print. l have told several about it and they did not believe it would work, but after trying it, pro nounce it grand success. In the first place, get my pigs (by little care and patience) to eating warm slop when 20 or 25 days old. By the time they are 45 days old they are as eager for the slop as the old hogs. In the meantime l build a pen with small hole just large enough for the pigs to enter and re- ceive their tri-daily rations. As the pigs grow 1 gradually increase their ration of slop; also decrease the sow's ration of siop and increase her grain ration. By the time the pigs are 45 days old they think more of me than they do of their mother. They will leave the dam while sucking and come at my call.
 In the second place l confine them in the pen, catch them one at time, ard put small ring i'll each little nose. That finishes my part of the weaning process. They will be able to get lit- lie milk from the dam fos few days, but they cannot get it all. Last fall both of my sows weaned their pigs be- fore they were seven weeks old with out the application of the rings.-F O., Poland. in Ohio Farmer,

A New Use for Silver Dollars.

According to a dispatch from Ottumwa
Iowa, an ingenious and very obiectiona-
bic advertising scheme has attracted the
attentention of the Treasury Department
at Washington. A remittance to the
treasury from bank contained IA num-
Der of silver dollars, on one side of
which was tightly glued the business card
of an Iowa merchant This advertising
scheme, according to the words printed
at the bottom of the card, is copyrighted,
claim which treasury officials regarded
as imrudent. The same dispatch says that
the United States district attorney for
Southern iowa received letter from
the treasury. calling his attention to the
matter and informing him that dollars
bearing these advertisements will not be
accepted by the department., but that they
will be returned ut the expense of the sen
der. 1t seems that dollars so treated!
cease to be current coin and become mere
ly, in the eyes Of the government, adver-
Using tokens. This is scheme, then, for
demonetizing silver as obnoxious as the
crime of IS.
