MANAGEMENT OF SWINE.
Too Many Animals Should Not Be Ike
in One lncl0sure.

Too Many Animals Should Not Be Kept
in One 1nclosure.
One great fault in the management
is to keep too many hogs together in
one shed or Enclosure. From want of
proper protection in the way of hous-
ing, hogs are very apt to crowd to-
gether in punches during cold weather;
and, coming into the sheds wet and
dirty, and being obliged to lie either on
old and filthy straw bedding or on wet
and damp floor, their sweating and
steaming soon produces foul atmos-
Lhere, and the bedding not being re-
moved at proper intervals, gets rotten,
and adds to the contamination of the
air. Being thus packed together in the
building, the hogs, in a warm and per-
spring condition, are next exposed to
the influence of cold winds and wet, by
being turned out in the morning hours
tc run in the field among grass wet with
cold dew or from rain or boar frost, or
to be fed from troughs in the yard.
Among the common consequences
are congestion, cold or catarrh, and, if
:he so-called hog cholera happens to
be prevailing, they are almost certain
to be affected with that disease, as their
systems, under such management, are
rendered predisposed or susceptible
thereto. In many places the hogs are
kept in miserable sheds, no provision
being made for proper drainage, the
ground sloping toward the sheds, which
frequently being unpaved, or without
flooring, are constantly damp and wet,
while pools of urine and filth abound,
and with wind and sleet approaching
from all quarters. In proportion as the
standard of breeding has become high
err, so has the vital force, energy and
hardness become lessened; and the ef-
fects of improper quantity and quality
OF food, filthy or stagnant water,
faulty construction of houses, and un-
due exposure to atmospheric influences,
have become proportionately more
baneful.-Western Plowman.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
Impossible Where Judgment In Not
Cast Along Intelligent Lines.

Impossible Where judgment II Not
Cast Along Intelligent Lines.
If every farmer were as enthusiastic
on the subject of good methods on tho
farm as he is about having good and
favorable seasons, there would be a
great deal less misery in the world. One
OF the phases of practicing better
methods that very few farmers seem to-
really understand is that of making all
operations and transactions of the
farm work together to the one end of
producing big crops regularly, just as q
piece of complicated machinery has all
it's parts working in harmony, that the
machine may do it's work effectively.
Any crop farmer may cultivate, or
any kind of live stock he undertakes to
keep upon the farm, has it's relation to
other crops or kinds of stock to be cult
waited or raised, and this very relation
is the thing that should determine the
extent to which the farmer is to go
with his various operations.
The man with one idea or a sort of
hobby, on farm, generally has hard
road to travel. He works without any
OF the advantages that flow from
smaller economies. It is one thing to
make the ends meet, but it is another
and better thing to make them lap over.
This is what the up-to-date, all around
farmer should be constantly doing He
should strive as far as lies in his power
to make Of the farm complete home.
He must vary his methods, too, to suit
the occasion. And this is where the
well-informed farmer always has the
advantage of those who know little or
nothing as to what is passing in the
world outside their own immediate
neighborhood. It requires knowledge
and the exercise of Judgment along all
these lines for man to know with any,
thing like precision whether it is best
to extend or curtail his operations
along certain lines of crop production
for any particular year. Jumping at
conclusions, or following along IN
an old rut, is a style of farming that
ought not to be permitted in this day
and age.
IT there is any one expression that de-
scribes the successful farmer of to-day,
it is that of being up to the times. Other
things being equal, this farmer is
found in the lead every day and every
where. Some farmers are always watt
ing for an opportunity, but there are
others who make business of creating
opportunities. A good and favorable
season forscrop growing is not the onlv
thing that pushes prosperity into
farmers doorway. Let the farmer fol-
low his best judgment with look out
fer the main chance always, and he is
certain to succeed, provided his judg-
ment is cast along intelligent lines

Application of Manure.

Some farmers make the mistake Of
putting coarse, straw manure into wet,
heavy soil, thinking that it will have a
beneficial effect by making such sol,
loose and dry and consequently warm
er; also that the moisture in the soil
will cause the straw to decay more
readily than it would in dry land. There
are conditions in this reasoning that
cannot be brought together. The Jumps
of wet soil will not mingle with the
straw and are held apart so that they
dry out and become hard and the
manure is not converted into plant food.
Put coarse manure OH dry soil and it
will be mixed and incorporated more
readily. Plow it into dry land five or
six inches deep and after the seed is
covered put a: heavy roller over it and
the roots will find the manure.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.

BRUSHING THE TEETH.
The Proper Way in Which to Perform
This Important Operation.


This Important Operation.
The upper teeth should be brushed
downward and the lower teeth upward
from the gums. DO not brush the teeth
crossways, as they are apt to become
loosened and the gums will also suffer.
The inside of the teeth should be
brushed III the same way. Tepid water
is the best to use both for cleansing the
teeth and rinsing the mouth out after
ward.
The tooth brush should be small and
curved, so that the bristles can get in
all the interstices of the teeth. 1t should
not be too hard, and, when new tooth
brush is purchased, it should be soaked
in water for several hours before using.
II the brush is dried on a towel after
being used, and stood up on end in the
air, it will last much longer. Tooth
brushes should never be kept'in closed
receptac]es.
Tooth powder should be chosen with
great discretion. For general use the
following will be found a very good
powder: Mix together half an ounce
of powdered bark, quarter of an
ounce of myrrh, one drachm of CAM
phor and one ounce of prepared chalk.
Another simple recipe is as follows:
Add two ounces of camphorated chalk,
two drachms IT very fine powdered
borax. half an ounce of powdered orris-
root and half + irachn of powdered
myrrh; mix the Ingredients thoroughly
together and keep The powder in a stop
perd bottle.-San Francisco Chronicle.

BOYS ON THE FARM.
They Should Be Taught Self-Reliance
from Infancy On.

They Should Be Taught self-Relianco
from Infancy On.
1 am acquainted with an instance
where a certain farmer brought his boy
up just as you would train a colt. He
was never allowed to exercise the least
amount of judgment in anything per-
tanning to farm matters. In fact, he
was mere machine. When the boy
was IS his father was stricken down
with lingering disease, but still the
latter persisted in pursuing the course
of training his boy. He planned every
thing until three weeks before his
death. To-day his boy knows but little
more than an infant about laying out
his work.
AS soon as the boy is 10 years old his
training should begin. Show him that
he is of more consequence than a ma
chine, that he is put here to think, plan
and carry out work. Give him piece
of ground and teach him the first rudi
ments of farming, letting him see all
the while that he is working for him,
self. AS he grows old, give him colt
or a cow, and let him raise stock for
himself. Then take him into confidence
as to the buying and selling of farm
produce, and occasionally let him man.
age the farm for day or so. Above all. be
patient with him. Nothing discourage.
the average boy more than fault-fnd
ing, which makes him gradually lose al.
confidence in his ability to work. Good
judgment, patience and self-contro,
will train your boy so that, when at last
you are unable to run the old farm, you
will have some one who can easily as.
sumo the entire management in every.
thing and do credit to his parents early
training.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A great many designs have been
brought before the world of mothers

How to polish up the silver till it shines.

Peel potatoes three or four-though IL
small you might peel more
Boil them just about three-quarters Of an
hour;
While they're boiling add some salt, or the
whole will be in fault
And your temper turned from sweet to
awful sour.
Take a furnished silver mug, spoon or
sugar bowl, or jug,
Put them in and let them boil little
while;
When you take them out you'll find that
the tarnish stayed behind,
And their brightness, am sure will
make you smile.

NERVOUS CHILDREN.

Usually Their System Has Been I'm
dermined in Infancy.
Intelligent people are beginning to I'M
uerstand the Importance of protecting
the nervous system in infancy and the
danger of a shock to childish nerves,
AS rule, the more quiet baby is kept
during the first year of it's life the bet
ter chance it has for life of health and
happiness. The fact that so large a
proportion of the human family die in
infancy is due largely to the folly of
nurses and the ignorance Of mothers.
Overnight babies do not commend
themselves to physicians, who know
that the first year of the child's life
should be spent largely in sleep. All
efforts to arouse the dormant mind of
a child at this period are attended with
danger. The foolish practice Of toss
ing helpless baby in the air, while it
screams both with alright and de-
light, is a most dangerous one. A ply
stefan with a large practice tells the
story of a precocicusly bright child
which showed evident delight when
tossed in this way by a doting grand
futher, who was accustomed to play
with it in this way every evening. The
child trembled with delight when the
nights froiic was over, but one evening
from this trembling it passed into a
spasm, the first indication of one of
those fatal brain diseases against which
medical science is helpless. Nothing
could be done but to wait until the little
lie had flown to a happier land.-N. Y.
