For cutting up the carcass of hog
should be laid on the back. upon a
strong table. The head should then
be cut Off close by the ears. and the
hinder feet so far below the houghs as
not TO disfgure the hams. and leave
room sufficient for hanging them up:

Sinks for Farm Kitchens.

Every farmers kitchen should be fur
nished with sink, into which both hard
and soft water should be brought by
pumps. 1t is not always convenient 10
have the well water thus brought, but
there is no reason why the cistern water
should not be. The sink should connect
with drain for the carrying away of
waste water. If water must be brought
into the house in pals, it surely is too
much to ask that it be carried out in the
same manner and thrown on the ground
to make a spot offensive to sight and
smell and breeding place for flies. At
one end of the sink long broad shelf
makes good place to put dishes as they
are wiped, and under this should be
drawers for dish wipers and kitcAen
aprons, and a cupboard for teapot and
coffee pot.

How Some People Follow Every

Somebody Else.

Some persons are always so anXioun
for something now that it is astonsh-
ing they still continue to eat plain
bread and butter. They have always
thrived well on beef, eggs, and pcta-
toes; but somebody writes an article
for scientific journal, and attempts
to show that these foods are neither.
rs cheap nor as nutritious as some
other kind of food. Therefore, some
persons drop this standard diet and
take up whatever some young scientist
directs. We cannot understand this.
When anything has been thoroughly
tried and tested and found in every way
satisfactory, why do some people per-
sist in running after some new-fanglcd
notion2 Take cod-liver oil for in
stance. 1t has been used for two
hundred years with most marvellous
success, and in a large variety of
complaints. Its success has been no
greater in the past than it is to-day.
More slIillful methods of preparing it,
and emulsilying it flor it is generally
acknowledged that it should always be
given in the form of an cmulsion),
gives assurance that its future use is
bound TO be even far greater than
ever.
And yet some people talk about 4

SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-liyer OH with

one would think of trying an cXpcri-
ment with some new preparation of

safe in taking SCOTS Emulsion, is il
not too risky business to try something

could have stood these twenty years,
and have larger sale to-day than ever

Where do you suppose these substi-

And where will all the fancy prepare

safe to predict that before they are

LOADING DRESSED HOGS.
A Device by Means of Which the Car.
cnss Is Handled with Almost
No Lifting.

One of the chief outdoor difficulties
at butchering time is the loading Of
heavy dressed hogs intended for mar
ket. Frequently this is done by one
man, aided by the women of the house
hold, and it is usually productive Of
much nervousness and some irrita-
bility. All this may be remedied in the
following way:
Make and keep from one season to an
other large tripod by joining at the
top three stout poles. C, 10 feet long.
Keep the upper ends of the poles from
splitting by means of iron bands. The
lower ends are sharpened to point.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-01-13

The upper ends Of the poles to form the
tripod are Joined by a strong iron rod
or bolt, a. An iron, b, formed like the
letter U is fastened to the outside ends
of the rod which joins the poles by rum
ming the rod through eyes formed in
the iron. This loop of iron is to sup
port the chain which holds the neg.
When ready to hang the hog, lower
one leg of the tripod, fasten on the hog,
then raise the leg until the hog hangs
sufficiently clear of the ground. In
loading back the horses. placing the
wagon under the tripod close to the
hog Then raise one leg of tripod until
the hog will swing into the wagon, then
lower it. The hog is loaded in this way
with almost no lifting. This tripod is
equally as valuable for hanging hogs to
be dressed. They may be left hanging
upon it until loaded.-Orange Judd

Ice in Watering TrOughs,

Wherever stock is watered from
troughs in cold weather there should
be plug fixed at the lower end of the
trough so that with its removal all the
water can be drawn off every night.
1t is far better. however, to water stock
in winter in ponds where the ice will re-
main frozen all winter, only cutting the
fresh ice that has formed over night
at the watering places. The water under
the ice in deep pond is kept warmer
by the icy covering. and is generally
at the surface under the ice several de-
grees below freezing. If the watering
trough is allowed to fill with ice it will
keep the water very near the freezing
temperature. A running brook where
the ice may not freeze at all has water
much colder than II is under the ice
