Thank you, DOCTOR" he said, "for it's
very kind of you to stand by your word

and the poor old man awoke my pity,
as he stood trembling in the house

He never stole again, but came to
live in our house, where he died many
years afterward, respected by the en-
tire community. I gave out the story
| that his temporary alterations were
caused by a cyst in the brain, and that
| his recovery was due to the removal of
| the cause by the surgery of his son-in-
! law. AS he was ever afterward high
minded and honorable, people believed
the story, and those who had censured
| him, pitied his misfortunes, as they
would have pitied him had he been ill.

This was easy for the reason that he
had a careless habit of leaving his dool

Hog Painters.

A man never succeeds with swine
until he ceases to regard them as the
lowest animal in existence, When he
learns to treat them as well as he
does his horses and cows he will make
them pay as we'll.
+ About this time he will learn that
swine does amazingly better in dry,
warm quarters than they do in cold
aud wet ones, that pigs can be raised
as early in winter as in summer BY
keeping them from freezing to death.
That a pregnant sow should be kept
10 an apartment by herself, and that
hogs OF all degrees and ages should be
fed as regularly as mich cows.
1t Is strange that we are so slow In
the business Of 'hog raising without
discovering such simple facts, we
hear some say. l must confess, how
ever, that l was, and that | can now
count up farmers OF my acquaintance
on the fingers of both hands who are
still making the mistake that | made
when l first began pouring swill into
pigs trough.
The hog should have his habitation
the same as the COW. Swine that can
boast only of the barnyard as their
home, whoroot in an open shed among
rusting farm machinery for exercise,
and who burrOw under the straw stack
for shelter are a standing advertise.
ment for the inattentiveness Of their
owner. Yet how prevalent is this
pernicious custuml Keep hog pen and
the dairy at least a barns length
apart. Cold weather will not hurt
hogs if they have a warm retreat
unuer cover 10 which they can repair
when they wish. A dry, sunny yard
will give them all the exercise they
need, and it should be so tightly en-.
closed that they can't mingle with
any other stock. No animal of any
kind should be maintained on the
farm unless it can in some way be
made profitable to the owner.
Pig raising is almost a dead loss on
those premises where pigs are raised
in haphazard way.
Corn, shorts and skim milk make a
combination that will make a high
