There are but few who devote then

ever, why a fair income may not be
derived by devoting the whole time to
poultry. 1t is done profitably in

in England where hundreds of hens
are kept and many thousands of dol.

THE MUCH ABUSED HOG.
Some Farmers Seem to Think Any.
thing in Good Enough For the
HOG, and to Their Cost.

Perhaps the whole range of farm
life no better-or worse-example OF
''let we'll enough alone" can be found
than in the case of the poor neglected
pig. AS we all know, this animal will
live and, to certain extent, thrive un-
der the most adverse conditions
There are always a multitude OF
things to be looked after on farm:
some Of them must be looked after
promptly and thoroughly or they will
be complete losses; others can be
somewhat neglected and still counted
on yielding a fair return. The hog,
of all farm animals, of all farm work,
is the most accommodating, the most
patient of neglect, hence the hog il
the most neglected. He may be put
into a pen scarce large enough fol
him to turn about in, be made to
pillow his way in half his depth Of
mud and filth, be without shelter from
the rain and without straw for bed,
ding, and yet he will grow and ado
his full share to the farm profits. AS
a pig-clean, keen and healthy-he 10
put into his narrow quarters, perhaps
into four or five inches of oozy mud
as left by his predecessor, and from
that on to the time when he too is
ready for the pork barrel, there is
but one thought regarding him-to
feed him to his fullest capacity. The
| farmer is not so much to blame as
might appear at first thought. He is
very busy, the pig is very accommo.
dating, the results in any case fairly
sure. True, a few hours work would
mean good pen, with sufficient
shelter, and clean ground and straw
for bedding; but there are fields to be
made ready, seeds to be planted, crops
to be looked after, all impatient of de-
lay, so, as the pig grows and grunts
on contentedly, he is passed over and
the other things attended to. Now
his pork may look all right, and sci
for just as much as though he hai
been exposed to the influence Of pure
air and sunlight instead of being shut
away from it by perpetual incrusta

customers are likely to have peculiar

Soon after one of the largest American
railways had been opened a traveller noticed
. marked disregard for punctuality on the
part of the officials, but he was interested

INTENSIVE FARMING.
The Farmer Who Makes the Best
Use of All His Opportunities IL
the One Who VIII Succeed.

"Results, that's what counts" was
the inelegant but forceful expression
of one of our great men in comment
ing on his party's work in congress.
If the remark be applied to farming
its significance and truthfulness lose
no force; rather, is peculiarly appro-
pirate. There are theories and theo-
ries, and endless ways of doing things,
especially in farming and stock-rais-
ing, and no one method can be select
ed and proven superior under all cir
cumstances to any other. There can
be but one test, and that is results"
In farming, the man who does the
most with the. available means is
rightfully accounted most successful.
After all, success is relative term,
in which the positive and superlative
degrees are widely separated. 1t would
be strange situation, indeed, If all
farmers were equally successful in
their calling AS well expect equal
success among business men. Neigh
bors on adjoining farms who are con-
fronted by the very same conditions
of soil, climate and moisture are very
seldom equally successful. Eliminat-
ing the element of luck, there is no
reason why these neighbors should
not be equally successful if the same
methods be followed. Probably no
case can be furnished where the true
cause for variation in results can not
be reduced to the question of method,
alone There is probably no farming
community in the country that is
without its farmer who appears to
get along somewhat more easily than
his neighbors. His crops not only
appear to grow more luxuriantly
than those of his neighbors, but they
actually do. Similar conditions are
found in all the departments of his
farm. 1t appears as if nature were
a willing slave to obey the commands
of this fortunate man, whose instruc-
tions never prove amiss, and whose
plans never fail. The results OF his
methods are visible, and by carefully
observing them they may be initiated
to the advantage of those who desire
better results from their farming.
Let the reader take any one in his
own community who is successful
above the average, and study his
methods, and certainly it will become
apparent that his success is the on
spring of intelligent endeavor. He
makes a partner of nature rather
than poorly paid hireling. He has
his mill ready to grind when the
wind blows, and his crops receptive

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comea
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders = Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps Of neglected kidneys.

ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this proof of it:

had cured a member of orr family
after he had suffered for years with
a weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since
