Preventing Swine Diseases.

The only true and sensible way to
prevent hog cholera and other swine
diseases is to treat the animals as clean,
healthy, meat-producing creatures,
and not as filthy vermin. tits strange
that we ever got into the habit of treat
ing the hog in such a slovenly man
ner. We know now that most con-
tagious diseases are bred on filth.
That is why we have had hog cholera
in this country. The old-fashioned
way was to let the hog wallow in mar
row pen in its own filth, and then with
out giving it room for exercise feed 1t
heat-proaucing food.
The fact is the swine prefer clean
pens or lots to dirty ones, and they
like. to wallow in good, clean soil in
preference to their own filth. This is
a'method of cleaning themselves. Give
the swine more room, clean out its pen
regularly, and let it have clean earth
to wallow in, and it will be the clean
est looking animal on the farm.
Then give it pure, clean water instead
of dirty water. The animals prefer
clean water every time, and will drink
it when they won't touch the dirty
mess found in so many pigpens. Mud
should not be allowed to accumulate
in the pens, and then they won't get
their feeding :'troughs and their own
backs covered with it. Finally give
them some variety in their food, as
you give to the COWS, horses, sheep
and chickens. As to diseases they
won't have them if these simple hy-
gienic rules are followed. That's all
that's necessary to prevent swine dis
eases that SO many dread.-American

Winter FIowerinc Bulbs.

To make sure Of blossoms for holi-
day decoration they should be potted
early in October. Bulbs may be sue
cessfully grown in either soil or water,
ard for some varieties, as hyacinths
and narcissus, the latter method is no
more difficult or uncertain than the
former, but bulbs which have bloomed
in water are so far exhausted that they
are not worth saving, while potted
ones can be ripened off and planted in
the open ground when spring comes.
Bulbs will thrive in any good potting
soil that is not heavy enough to be-
come sodden and sour With good
drainage they do equally as well in
boxes as pots, and in groups as singly.
No doubt there are women who could
bring them to perfection in old tin
cans. Certainly one of the hand
soonest window boxes imaginable was
wire one lined with moss and filled
with yellow and white tulips, hya-
cinths and crocuses grown in old tin
cans with holes made in the bottom
for drainage The spaces between the
cans were also filled in with moss,
and as it was in cool dining room
there was no difficulty in keeping up
a succession of blossoms from the
middle of January to the first Of
March.
What bulbs must have to make them
flourish is plenty of fresh air and
light, and a temperature of from forty
to fifty degrees for half of every twen-
ty-four hours. By keeping them in a
hall-or other room with comparatively
low temperature nights, they will do
fairly we'll in an overheated room dur
ing the day-if given plenty Of water
and light, but to bring bulbs to per-
fection, and keep them there as long
as possible, the room should never be
over xty-eight degrees.
In planting bulbs press the soil
down very firmly around them, letting
the top of the bulb remain above it,
water thoroughly and set the pots on
the floor in the darkest and coolest
corner of the cellar and let them re.
main for five or more weeks. If the
cellar is strongly lighted, cover the
pots with q piece OF old carpet. Ex-
anime occasionally, and if the soil IS
not moist water thoroughly. By this
treatment the bulbs make q strong
growth of root while the top starts
very little. BY bringing few pots at
a time into warm, lighted room
something of succession Of blossoms
can be'kept up, but to extend it over
a month or more the bulbs must be
planted at intervals of about two
weeks time. Give plenty of sun
shine, and sprinkle the leaves and
buds often with tepid water, but never
when the sun is shining on them

Russia's Poor.

Statistics just published show that
in Russia only 347.2GS families out Of
a population Of about 10000, ,OO0souls
have an income Of over $500 year, OF
that practically more than ninety-nine
per cent. of the whole population are
constantly in 4 state of abjcct poverty
and pauperism in their various de-
grees.
The figures become appalling when
one considers the case of the peasan-

Marketing Winter Vegetables.

Winter vegetables, under which head
ing may be included celery, will bring
higher prices if stored for a while than
when sold off as soon as gathered.
With celery there is little use for the
cold storage houses unless one is In
the business on an extensive scale, for
with proper attention to storing in the
pit where celery is blanched and ex-
ira protection during very cold wealth
er, the plants may be allowed to re-
main the best part of the winter, re-
moving them as wanted for sale. A
vegetable storage house may be read
lily constructed on many farms where
ae excavation can be made in side
hill. The only expense besides labor
will be the little lumber required for
the front of such cellar. Any cellar
under house that is frost proof and
not too warm may be utilized for stor-
ing vegetables, and with little care
they may be easily kept for several
months, to be sold at price that will
pay well for the trouble in caring for
them.

Feeding By-Products of the Dairy.

Under the direction of F. B. Lin
field the Utah Experiment Station has
been carrying on some experiments in
feeding calves the by-products of the
dairy.
The summary of the bulletin, which
gives the record of these experiments,
follows:
l. Calves may be raised very profit
ably on skim milk when it is properly
fed.
2. From the standpoint of gain in
live weight and quality of meat, whole
milk is the best food for calves, but it
makes too expensive a ration TO be
proftably fed. Butter fat has been
worth sixteen cents per pound. Phe
gain in live weight of these calves at
four cents per pound returns but 10.7
cents per pound; for the butter fat fed
at three cents per pound the gain IS
but eight cents per pound.
3. The calves whose rations were
composed largely of skim milk, while
they gained one-half pound less per
day yet required practically the same
amount of dry matter to each pound
of gain as did those fed on whole milk
they made just as good use of the
food.
4. The calves fed whole milk alone

SUCCESS,

Dr. Hathaway & Co.'S successes have become q
household word. Why? The answer is simple
They are men with the courage of their convic-
tions. Originatcrs. not imitators. Their methods
like themselves, are in harmony with the people
and the times. New and up to date. Among the

specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
tho front rank of respectable professionalism as
acknowledged originators of the new and nov
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans.
parent platform of purchased testimony, but on
a long list of cured patients, visible local wit
nesses of their skill. AS physicians Of business
and social status in the community they pledge q
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
by the Hathaway method, !" unabridged, and at
prices within the reach of all.
They arc regular graduates in medicine from
some of the best medical colleges in the world,
and hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards of Health. They conduct their business
on strictly professional basis, promising moth
ing but what they can fulfil, and do not adopt
tho many fake and fraudulent methods that many
