Probably better and cheaper pigs can

one else. Some butter dairymen have
Il demand for their by-products, but
the great majority of farmers pract-
cally waste the clabber, buttermllk

made more profitable by the addition
of a little corn meal, and for forcing
n pig to its utmost, nothing equals

Where there is no cash demand for

The same profit as when fed to pigs.
These little economics of the farm
yield the profit in agriculture and are
we'll worth studying. We are firmly
convinced, after several years expert
ence, that dairying and pig raising go
hand in hand, and that pigs fed the
skim and buttermilk will mature more
quickly, are less liable TO disease and
that their meat is of the very finest

ment which is sure to introduce a new

life, bringing with it the Roman and
Eastern customs of old. 1t is a bath
ing tub. where all sorts of baths will
be prepared after the old and foreign
receipts; ass milk, such as Queen lsa-
bella of Bavaria used every morning;
rose water, lemon juice, barley, Mecca
balm, etc, will be found there, and
even the famous bath of Marie
CZewertinoska, the beautiful mistress
of Alexander |. of Russia, who plunged
herself every morning into the II
tents of a cask of Malaga wine, after
which ceremony the silver tub was
emDtied and the wine sold. 1t seems
that such a bath is simply perfect as a
skin feeder.
Marie Antoinette's bath, which was
prescribed by her doctor, was a com
pound of aromatic herbs mixed with a
handful of salt. She took it cold in
summer anc tepid in winter. Later OH
Mime. Tallien had brought every morn

strawberries and two pounds of raSp'
