From Loadoa Answers.

From Loadoa AnsWers
A Young couple in Lancashire village
had been counting for several years. The
young man one day said to the woman
SAL, | Gamma marry thee
How that asked she
I've changed my mind, said h.
Well, Ill tell you what We. Il Do,
said she. IF folk know that Ill thee a.
has given nae up, | shanna be able 70 get
another chap, but If they think that &c
given sou up then can get another chap.
So we II have banns published, and when
the wedding day comes the parson will say
to thee, Wilt thou have this woman to
be thy welded wife ]? and tina must say,
i will Aud when he says to me, Will
thou have this man 70 be thy welded has-
hand?' | shall say, i Wilma
The day came, aud when the minister
said, Wilt thou have this woman 70 be
thy welded wife ? the man answered:

II know that said the young woman,
but I've changed my mind since.

Farm Notes.

Giving salt regularly to animals is not
necessarily matter requiring extra atten-
ton. If box or bag of salt is kept conve
niently at the barn, so as to add little to the
food at each meal, the animals will enjoy
their food more, while little or no extra
labor will be entailed. This is better than
compelling the stock to eat large quaint
ties of salt at one time and depriving them
of it when they may desire it with certain
foods at other times.
Labor can be saved in blowing and the
work be done well by properly laying off
the plot A square acre, plowed with
15-inch furrow, requires 81 rounds and
$50 turns. The same area in the form of
parallelogram-2 by so rods requires
only Is rounds and 81 turns, thus requir
ing much less time to do the work. The
same rule applies to cultivation, The
longer the rows the less time required, as
there will be fewer turnings at the end of
rows. 1t is the turning of the pillow or
cultivator which causes loss of time, to
say nothing of the extra work imposed on
the man who is blowing or cultivating.
When manure becomes heated and the
odor of ammonia is noticed there is then
loss of valuable fertilizing substance
nitrogen Turn the heap over, placing
the coarser portions to the centre While
so doing sprinkle handful or more of
kainit over the manure. If this cannot
be done force a crowbar down into the
heap in several places and pour cold water
in to reduce the temperature.
1t is not wise for any farmer to buy
more land as long as the farm cultivated
by him is not up to its full limit of capac-
ity. 1t is also difficult to determine when
the limit has been reached. The manure
that is spread on one acre will give better
esults than when used on two acres. The
first duty of a farmer Is to increase the
fertility of his soil, which can be done
more easily with small farm than with
one that is large. Only when the small
farm is at its best, and the farmer Is clear
of debt, should he enlarge, and if he buys
more land he should pay cash and avoid
mortgages
1t Is well enough to lay down the rule
that ten pounds Of corn will make one
pound Of pork, but rules may not give the
results expected unless under certain con
ditions. Some breeds of hogs viii produce
more pork on the same food than others,
and even with selected breed there will
be individual animals that viii increase
more rapidly than Others. In the winter
season. if the hogs are exposed, twenty or
thirty pounds of corn may be required to
make a pound Of pork. Care and man
agement are important as well as breeds
and food.

Hog Cholera Along Streams.

Careful experiments conducted in the
laboratory of the Agricultural Department
at Washington, D. c., have demonstrated
that hog cholera bacili will remain alive
and active in water four months. This
explains the cause of the rapid distribution
of the disease along streams, creeks,
branches and rivulets.
Here is a case which came under my
observation A lot of hogs that obtained
their supply of water from pool in
creek became infected with the disease
and all died. At this time the water in
the creek was too low to flow. Seven
weeks later a heavy storm caused rise IN
the creek and the flowing water carried
the disease to every herd down the valley
that obtained its supply of water from the
stream. The owners of the herds below
had been warned of the danger, but as the
stream did not flow for seven weeks after
the hogs above had died they decided that
the bacilli were dead and there was no
necessity for any precautions. Only one
man penned his hogs when the stream
arose, and his were the only ones that es-
capped an attack of the disease.
4 great many farmers allow their pigs
to obtain their supply of water from streams
flowing through their farms 1t Is very
convenient mode of watering stock, but a
rather dangerous one. If the hogs up
stream are attacked by cholera or swine
plague the germs are sure to be brought
down and their hogs infected. 1t Is i
difficult matter to keep informed as to the
condition of all the hogs along a stream
many miles in length, therefore 1t Is the
safest plan BY far to fence the swine away
from the rivers and creeks. To emphasize
this advice, an investigation into the matter
showed that in | $50 the loss of hogs in the
townships bordering on White River, ~
Indiana, was %. ! per cent. In the
second tier Of townships back from the
river Is. g per cent, and in the third tier
rs per cent. la 1895 a thorough lu-
vestigation showed that sixty townships
bordering upon the Wabash River from
Cas- County to Its mouth showed las OF
hogs from cholera Of - per cent, and
forty seven townships in the second tier
back showed loss Of 10 per cent. II
was shown during the same investigation
that almost all Of these whose herds e.
capped the disease used well water, which
is usually pure.
Il is safe to say that no herd Of swine
that obtains its supply Of water from a
river OF flowing stream Is safe from intec-
ton. aud those who persist in allowing
their hogs access to such waters must ex-
pect to suffer Losses from hog cholera
What makes matters worse. Il j. ust only
the person who thus allows his hogs to he.
come infected Who suffers los but tbs
disease Is communicated to the herds q BIZ
neighhors. and is spread over whol'
township until the losses run uP into thou.
sands. When an outbreak Of ho- chniers
occurs in a ueichborhos.d the best plan !.
70 yard yoar hogs 81 once, and 70 keep al
other animals cat Of that yard.

Glass from Stag.
From Chicago Times Herald

From Chicago Times Herald,
The secret of making what is claimed 10
be fne quality of glass from Stag has
been discovered by a chemist in the employ
Of the Illinois Steel Company. As re
suit plate glass factory will propably be
be reared on the companys Cheltenham
tract SOON Already the plans for the
plant have been drawn and ground is now
being cleared for the buildings. 1t is esti-
mated chat employment will be furnished
for at least 700 men.
For some months secret experiments
have been conducted in the laboratory Of
the steel company. Now it is made known
that not only can cement of fair quality be
made from the refuse of the furnace, but
glass of good quality as well. The invent
or is said to be a young man who recently
entered the employ Of the company, hay
ing come from the University of Michigan,
class of %. Even his name is withheld,
but his discovery, it is said, will net him
a handsome reward.

How to Make a Fountain Pen.

IF YOU wish to make fountain pen,
take two ordinary steel pens of the same
pattern and insert them in the common
holder The inner pen will be the writ
ting pen. Between this and the outer pen
viii be held supply of ink when they are
once dipped into the inkstand that will last
to write several pages of manuscript. 1t
is not necessary that the points of the two
pens should be very near together, but if
the flow of ink is not rapid enough the
points may be brought nearer by bit of
thread or minute rubber band.
