Hardy Hog Shelters.

So far as our observation has ex-
tended, those farmers who have taken
up the small hoghouse plan have, on
the whole, been eminently we'll please
with the results that have followed the
Introduction of these shelters. When
a farmer is raising hogs and is putting
them out into pastures. and is without
some sort Of shelter while they are
there, unless he has made an endeavcr
of planning some protection, his hogs
Viii suffer from heat or cold or from
both. We do not know of any plan
whereby as satisfactory results may
be secured as by the construction of
some sort of shelter which may be east
iy moved from one place to another as
the necessity arises. Some farmers
favor a hog house mounted on skids Or
low wheels and capable of sheltering
half dozen narrowing sows. Others
make V shaped shelters of matched
flooring which may be carried here
and there and will shelter one SOW and
her pigs nicely. All agree that handy
hog shelter is not only con-
venient but necessary.

The Best Remedy for Group.

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one OF
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost. in case OF
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group
known as hive syrup and tolu, but some
modern mothers say that Chamber

not cost so much. 1t causes the pa

BANKING Trees.

In looking over trees planted this
season it will be seen that the wind
continually rocking them from one
side to the other. has caused them
to leave great cavities directly
around the trees. If left in that con-
dition. they are liable to root-killing.
A rain in late fall. followed by freezing,
will do great injury to trees left in
that way.
First. use a tampirg stick and pack
the ground down solid around the tree
the same as when setting out 8 post.
Be careful and not bark or injure the
tree. then use spade and bank as high
as possible around the tree. pressing 1t
around with the foot while doing So
IT, is best to do this work late In the
fall when the ground is slightly frozen
as the ground will soon freeze around
the tree and hold it solid until
spring.

planted last year and the year be-
fore. They may need the same treat
ment. Mulch anytime after the
ground is frozen.-John Cantwell,

Low Ridges for Potatoes.

At the Arkansas experiment station
the highest yield of merchantable po-
tatoes was secured with ridges three
inches high. The same method also
gave the smallest per cent of culls Ex-
pert potato growers no longer pile the
earth up to the plants in ridges six in
ches above the bottom of the furrow
by the side of it. 1t is held by some
that level culture is even better than
three-inch ridges. The land should
be deeply plowed, and deep burrows
should be made in the level ground, and
the seed deposited at the bottom Of the
furrow. Then, when covered, the
ground will be level and the seed COW
cred to sufficient depth. After this
frequent shallow cultivation is all that

ALL IN The VIEWPOINT.

The Inconsistencies of democratic ar
gument will forever furnish amusement
for the crowds Before we are done
laughing at the variegated theories of
monetary science as presented by vari-
GUS democratic journals we are con-
vulsed with democratic discussion of
the tariff. We laugh at the democrat
who would destroy every vestige Of
protection" we laugh again at the DEM
ocrat who would put in free trade and
still keep enough protection and our
sides are aching. when we hear the
democrat who would destroy all pro-
lection except on cane sugar or the
products of his congressional district.
It would seem, however, that when We
come to a question SO far away and
so cosmopolitanly national as the 18TH
milan canal project We could find har-
1nony in the doctrines OF democracy.
Not So The view point of special and
political interests governs again.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald, the
Weston of Iowa democracy says:
"All the evidence that might be ad
duced would disprove the obvious and
palpable fact that the president has a
secret understanding with the friends
OF the Panama route. This govern
ment is responsible for the Panama
revolution. 1t has gone farther than
ever before In its history. Its course
is Infamous. It Is the creature of the
transcontinental railroads and the cor
ruptionists whom Senator Morgan de-
clares have already spent 20 millions to
accomplish their ends"

about this for the Atlanta Constitution

Changing From Grass.
IHomestead.1

Changing farm animals from grass TO
dry feed is a critical time in the fatten-
ing period While the stomach OF q
critter is able to withstand consider
able i'll treatment without causing
death, yet at the same time sudden
changes in the ration may greatly in
terfere with his general thrift. me
secret of success in making the change
is to do 1t so gradually that the sys-
TEN will not be deranged. A little dry
feed should be given at first, this be-
ing gradually increased until the ami
mails become thoroughly accustomed to
ii. 1t is better if animals may have
access to old grass for several weeks
after they are placed on dry feed
Some adopt the practice of hauling a
little hay to the pastures late in the
fall, and clai mthat this bridges over
the change period in most satisfact-
DRY manner. In making the charge it
is better to underfeed during the first
week, or two, rather than over-feed,
because it may take months to correct
the Injurious result OF overlooking at
such a time. There are those who
make the claim that an animal over
fed at any period of its existence will
never completely recovek but will APP
pear more or less stur4ed even up to
the time it goes to the block as a fat
animal Where fattening cattle have
had considerable range 1t is a great
mistake to confine them in close yards
suddenly, because they will fret con-
and may refuse to make gains
for several weeks.

While the situation III Iowa, where

changed prohibition for high license,
in many southern states there has been
movement in progress in the con-
trary direction. This differs from the
northern movement in that it proceeds
by counties. towns and neighborhoods,
and not by states. The extent to which
prohibition has succeeded in the south
is shown by an editorial article in the
