Hog Hints.

Thrift. not hunger, should prompt
exercise.
Sows with very nervous tempera-
ments should be avoided.
The pigs should have dry, clean
bed, free from dust and filth.
The cheapest pork Is that made by
the wise use Of clover pasture.
A SOW should never be confined to n
dry lot barren OF all grasses and other
forage.
The hog should find place in the
economical management Of every
farm.
No difference how plentiful the sup
ply of slops, the hogs should have
fresh water daily.
While dust In the bed Is injurious.
more may be said against dampness,
which Is fatal to thrift.
The hog to thrive best must be CIV
en- food that viii build up the system
evenly. The bone. muscle and Tat
must maintain just proportions

The greatest mistake that can be
made Is to allow stock 10 deteriorate in
the winter time with the hope Of re-
gaining what has been lost when grass
comes.
The sheep will find quite an amount
OF forage on the stubble field which
other animals will not touch at this
season, but because a sheep Is willing
to eat what 1t can find In that manner
should not deprive 1t from receiving
regular rations at the barnyard.
Agriculture will not have attained
the highest place until farms Of the
country have been made to produce
annually the full measure of their ca-
pacity. This means rotation, fertili-
cation and host Of other things that
must come with progressive farming.
Every farmer should have a few
grapevlnes. They serve ms arbors or
shade, and can be grown where they
will not take up much space. All poul
try yards will be improved If grape
vines are grown along the fences and
the fowls will find shade under the
overhanging branches in summer
Hemp can be easily grown In nearly
all sections Of this country, but the OBJ
stacle to It's successful cultivation is
the labor Of preparing it for market
There Is wide field for inventive
genius in deyising appropriate machin-
cry for specially treating hemp and
ether flbrous plants which demand
more labor In some sections than can
be protltably bestowed on them.
In constructing poultry house 1t is
best to have Its face to the southwest
as the sun will then send In It's warmth
as soon as 1t rises. The sun will warm
the house until about o'clock in the
afternoon In the winter IL the house
faces the south, as Is usually the GUS
tom, the suns rays will not enter be-
fore 8 or 10 o'clock, although the morn
ing Is the NEST important time for re-
ceiving the benefit.

nan a Farmer MAKE hOhGy
My answer is that very many farm
ers do make money. One must nrst
consider what the investment is In an
ordinary farm. A general farm OF
eighty acres, with usual improve
ments, would not inventory moro than
$4,000 to $S,o00 With the larger hg-
ure the net income at 10 per cent
should be $500; yet no farm that Is
considered to be at all profitable pro-
duces so little income as this me
daily living, which must be charged 10
income, would amount to more than
this. If the general farmer comes
out even at the end of the year, he
has, nevertheless, made n good rate
on his investment, and he has In
creased the value Of his home at the
same time. The difficulty with farm
Ing, considered from the financial
point OF view, Is not that the rate or
income Is low, but that the amount or
profitable Investment Is small. Con
Sidered In It's bearing on the national
welfare, this fact Is propitious. for 1t
means that the farm provides an In
dependent business Of small resources.
| Considered rs n means OF producing
great individual fortunes, however, the
farm Is inadequate, and 1t Is to be
hoped that 1t always Will be so, for MT
least one great profession or business
should be measured In other terms
than money-producing power for the
| Individual.
There Is untold wealth In the soil.
There are practically no exhausted
soils; they are mostly humus robbed
and poorly handled soils. No one has
ever yet reached the limit, on any con
siderable scale, of what the soil Is
capable OF producing. Many men
make comfortable living on ten to
fifty acres of land, and yet they III
ways expect to produce more next
year. Only here and there are we be-
ginning to develop really scientific
and businessllke agriculture.
The opportunities in farming are
great 1t Is almost impossible for a
man to fail, II he knows the business
and has abilities that would lead him
to success In other undertakings. II
Is n general belief that almost any
man can leave the city and make q
living on farm. This Is n grlevous
error. Farming must be learned, as
must engineering or teaching. 1t can
not be learned from n book or bulle-
tin, but by farming. The older the
man when he makes n radical change
of business the less are his chances OF
success If he has been In subor-
dlnate position in his former business,
his chances Of success In farming are
less, for he will probably be deficient
in executive handling and initiative
OFTEN druggist or preacher will
think that he can go to farming with
every assurance of success; yet he
would not think that a farmer could

Siinge and Roots.

A silo for storing corn Is cheaper
than a barn for storing hay. A silo
holding about two hundred tons may
be constructed for about $3.50. About
twice the number Of cows may be
kept on farm II the silo Is used. The
ensilage may DO kept over and fed
during the dry and hot months of July

and that Is the most difficult time to
keep up the flow Of milk, and II cows
once drop in the flow OF milk 1t Is We'll
nigh impossible to get them to regain
the full flow. When dairymen do not
have silos the next best thing Is roots,
such as stock beets, which yield six
hundred to seven hundred bushels per
acre, and may be preserved In base
ment, barns or in root cellar.--Amsri-

Showing How Little Doctors Know
About the Ancient "Art."
Blushing is not an art, neither Is 1t
sign of ill-breeding rs some unkind
people maintain. The fact Is, 1t Is
just rs natural for some persons to
turn pale. The same laws of nature
which govern the one rule govern the
other. The capillaries, or small blood
vessels, which connect the arteries and
veins of the body, form, particularly
over the cheeks, network SO fine that
II Is necessary to employ microscope
to distinguish them. Ordinarily the
blood passes through these vessels In
normal quantities, leaving only the
natural complexion. But when some
sudden emotion takes possession OF
the heart It's action increases and an
electric thrill instantly leaps to the
cheeks. The thrill Is nothing more than
the rush Of blood through the invisible
capilarios just beneath the delicate
transparent surface of the skin, says
the St James Gazette.
The causes that bring about this con-

OF ioy, anger, shame and many other
emotions. Sudden horror, remorse or
fear, on the contrary, influence the
nerves which control the blood YES

Blushing and pallor result from tho
sudden action Of the mind on the ner-
vous system. SO If the mind be fore

both habits can ut least be partially

Rain md the Hay Product.

Every farmer strives to get his hay
beyond the washing influence OF rain
as soon as possible. Rain water may
dissolve and remove more than 10 per
cent of~the dry matter of hay. and
what is thus removed may represent
quite 20 per cent OF tho feeding value.

Coon for Fctteninp Chickens.


Where 1t Is desired to take extra
pains in fattening chickens, 1t is nec-
essary to conflne them In close quar-.
tiers for two or three weeks before kill
ing. The coop shown herewith is ideal
for this purpose. 1t is set on legs 21a
feet above the ground for convenience
in caring for the fowls. The coop Is
about 2 feet wide, 8 feet long, and
2 feet 0 inches high, and viii easily
hold six birds
The bottom should be constructed of
Stats, somewhat closer together than
the sides and ends, SO that the drop
pings may fall through. The coops
should be placed under roofs to shed
rain and to protect the fowls from the
hot sun. In cold weather it would be
necessary to protect them still more
by placing the coops IN buildings. Feed
troughs and water vessels are attached
