Many people forget that the hog
needs pure water as beverage as sure
ly if not in as large quantities as
other animals. The man VINO con-
fines him in a pen thinks he sets
water enough in his swill, though IL
may be the water the corn beef was
boiled in, enough to create whole
some thirst instead of quenching it,
and almost sure to scour him. The
man who has him in a pasture thinks
any muddy hole. is good enough for
the hog to drink from, and he swal-
lows more clay or muck in trying for
water than he gets meal in his food.
And then they wonder why the hog
is sick, and what causes the cholera
in the herd. Neither satisfies the
thirst. The mash or swill, if that is
given, should have but little water,
and salt water is better kept out Of
it and it should not be thin slop.
Good water from the well is not too
good for the hogs, and they will drink
it every day, and in hot weather lots
of it, If they can get it.-Farmers'

most noted butter makers IN the blue
grass country told me she had this
complaint made to her by one of her
city customers, and after thorough
investigation she found that the trou-
bic lay in her having kept II e cream
too long and had let the rich cream
get old before churning and it tasted
in the butter. One very excellent idea
she gave me was that she since then
rinsed her churn, butter, firkins, pad
dies, ETC., crooks, pans and all in \
weak solution of borax-water, so IL
handled or touched it could take on
no impurities. 1t kills microbes and
disease germs, disinfects and puri-
fies; hence there is nothing that
needs it more than milk vessels. as
milk and butter take on impurities
quicker than any other product.
Many gallons of cream and pounds of
butter are spoiled because the churn.
etc., are not kept immaculate.-S. H.,

meant certain death.
"As a. last resort we thought We
would try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and ac-

This remedy worked wonders In

at once and discharged the doctor.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
They should Awaken the southern
Farmer to the Necessity Of
Raising Cattle.

We give below some figures which
should awaken the southern farmer
to the necessity of cattle growing.
In the South Atlantic section, just
where cotton is the principal crop,
the increase is very low, and here we
are making the least progress in
wealth and prosperity. In the south,
central and western divisions the In
crease is 20 and 93 per cent, respec-
lively. And here is where the greatest
prosperity is found.
Study these figures and learn that

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that a good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med
icine. but when we can get good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands q much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King. are
well worthy the attention of all
readers:
II have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil IN
the various situations have occupied a.
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in an cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. / can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in ever

bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering Il

FARMER ANDPLANTER.
SHOULD FARMERS ORGANIZE :


This question has been often an
swered. 1t is always answered IN
the affirmative. Every one is willing
to admit that they ought to be organ
lied. Then why are they not organ
lied? No answer can be given to this
except that it is the force OF habit
that prevents. They have been so
long pulling each man for himself
that they have learned to stand
alone. When the country was new
and the homes far apart there was
some excuse for this. But now many
changes have come. Population is get
ting denser. and there is necessarily
more dependence upon one another.
Competition is sharper. Opposition Is
felt more keenly. The struggle for
existence is getting keener. All other
trades have not only felt the need
for organization, but they have or
ganized. And without intending it.,
these organizations all work more or
less against the farmer. Self-preser-
Walton and self-protection make this
result.
Manufacturers combine in order to
sell their goods at higher figures.
Merchants combine so as to buy
cheaper from the farmer and at the
same time sell higher to the farmer.
Now there is but one remedy left
for the farmer, and that is to conn
bine to protect themselves both in
buying and selling. The question OF
selling did not use to formerly trou-
BILE the farmer. He was only con-
cerned to produce as much as possi-
BILE. But now the selling is as inn
portant, If not more so, than the pro-
duction. The truth that no man
liveth unto himself is getting more
and more apparent as the facilities
for trade increase.
There are two great questions
which now confront the farmer.
First. How can produce the cheap
est and the best? Second How can
l sell to the best advantage? In the
present complexed condition of affairs
no one man can sanely and satisfac-
torily answer these. True combined
intelligence all is needed to answer
and keep these questions answered
rightly.
All great organizations are made
of numerous smaller ones. So the
only effective way will be for the
farmers of each community to get
up small local clubs, and then these
clubs must keep in touch with each
other. In the local clubs they can
discuss the local conditions and
needs. They can decide what and
how much to plant so as to avoid
crowding the market with any single
crop at any particular time. The
benefit of constant interchange OF
ideas along these lines will be very
great, and grow as the thing is kept
up. Such clubs, when well conducted,
are real schools. Reading, hearing
thought and discussion are the cbiei
sources of education. If to these
we add habit of close observation
we have all the elements of uni.
versity course. In addition to the in
formation gained from each other
we can secure the help of specialists
in any particular line we wish to in.
vestigate. Professors, scientists and
experts in all the varied branches OF
agriculture can be secured to give
lectures at such times as will suit the
convenience of neighborhood. Organ
ize in your community at once and
try it.-SOufbern Culfiyator.
