The Cnt md the Kid.

Once upon a time cat and a kid were
travelling in company and stopped in
front of a window of a store to admire
miscellaneous display of merchandise.
Doesn't it make you sad" asked the
cat, ito see those kid gloves? Just think,
that may be the condition of your skin
some dayw
The kid laughed and then answered:
THAT'S no skin Of my family, for it
comes from your two enemies, the dog
and rat. But see those fiddle strings
Don't they give you pain in your stom-
ach? p
Now the cat laughed in his turn and
then replied:
"The interior department of my famil
doesn't furnish those any more than your
skin goes into the gloves. They come from
your cousin, the sheep.

Kruger as n Singing Teacher

AS a young man Paul Kruger was re-
garded as an authority on psalm singing
and the farmers used to come to him to
learn the keynote for starting the psalms
at the next Sundays service. Kruger
even in those days was no believer in the
policy Of giving anything away, not even
note of music, so he had uniform
charge of a double handful of dried
peaches for his instruction.
Even the fact that the work was in the
service of religion did not deter him from
resorting to strategy, for he made a point
Of giving each applicant different note
The result when the pious Doppers at.

harmony next Sunday may be imagined
The result was that each man concluded
he had lost the key and had to return for
a further lesson.

dried peaches" said Kruger in telling the
story.

IMPROVING THE BREED.

1t is well known that by grading
seed wheat and seed corn and plant
ing the largest and best developed
grains the grain will be improved
from year to year, so with the pig.
Feeding the pig well balanced ra-
ton will build up all the different
parts of the hog, especially the valu-
able parts-the loin and ham, the
muscular or lean. The pigs thus fed
until they arrive at the proper age to
breed will transmit their good quail
ties to their offspring, and, like the
large grains of corn or wheat, the i'm
provement will go from generation to
generation.
Pigs should be fed a variety of
foods. The best feed for young pigs
is sorts mixed with SKINNED milk, fed
sweet, or ground wheat, or ground
oats with the bulls sieved out. Dat
bulls are not good for pigs, but there
is nothing better than ground oats
with the hulls extracted, mixed with
sweet milk This, with little corn,
will make good balanced ration
feed them regularly and enough to
keep them rapidly growing. The pig
should never stop growing. Our
best improved pigs should gain at least
one pound day, or it would not in
jure them to make them gain one and
one-half pounds a day if fed muscle
and bone producing food. "A Breeder

paragraph. 1t begins with a list OF
bad things, to wit: rheumatism, govt,
bronchitis, liver complaint, kidney
complaint, affections Of the skin,
asthma, all forms Of nervous ailments,
pneumonia, epilepsy, insanity-well,

is the real cause of these ailments?
AS the children say, what ''makes"
them? The answer is, Poisons manu-

Cure the indigestion and you cure the
fruits Of it. That is the truth, and
it is common sense also. Fail to cure
the aus and you may doctor any OF
its consequences through a pain ours
ed lifetime, always in vain. All con-
tagious or infectious diseases select
their victims from people weakened
by bad digestion, or by insufficient
nutrition. If you don't believe me
ask the plague and cholera experts.
