The idea may prevail that the main
feature of an agricultural course is to
teach boys to pillow, SOW and reap, and
to do other familiar manual labor OF
the farm. Such ms druction is chiefly
necessary for the boy from the city
who has never hal aided a fern tool.
What the boy needs most to study is
the natural scienc es which underlie
all farm practices. He needs to know
the laws of plant life as he may study
of them in botany. He ne eds to know
the habits of insects that destroy his
fruits and vines as he may study them
in entomology. He needs to know of
the composition and physical prop
critics of the soil as he may study them
in chemistry and physics. Therefore
these four sciences have large place
in a course in agriculture. The stu
dent likewise needs; knowledge OF
English history, civil government,
mathematics, drawing. ETC., that he
NAV become a well-rOunded mana
good citizen as well as handy man at
his vocation. An agricultural course
is one of the most delightful a person
may follow Some men say it is the
best course in the universities which
have an agricultural department, be-
cause it deals so intimately with the
things of everyday life.-Sunset Mag

GOOD BACON HOGS.
Time the People Were Learning to
Appreciate Good Bacon Rather
Than Fat Pork.

The American people need some ed
ucation before they can appreciate
good bacon. We are a nation OF
grease eaters and want solid chunks
of hog fat and want plenty CT lard in
which to fry our food, Tor fried food
being difficult ana slow of digestion,
allays hunger for longer time than
more dfgestible food. And then food
saturated with hog grease is more
easily swallowed, thus enabling us to
eat faster, and more of it before hun
ger is appeased. We are a pushing,
money-making race, and can not afford
to waste cur time eating food that
must be masticated, and saturated
with saliva before 1t can be swallowed.
Therefore, much time is saved by sat
urating our food with crease As for
its unhealthfulness, we care little We
have physicians. everywhere and they
must live, and it would be cruel, if
not selfish, to adopt system that
would deprive them of much of their
practice. In this country, the pork
hog, or the lard hog, brings the best
prices at the great pork factories, and
before the bacon hog can be grown
successfully our people must learn to
appreciate good bacon. rather than fat
pork. The Tamworth is the favorite
bacon hog of Great Britain and the
Scandinavian countries They are very
prolific, good breeders and of large
size; they have deep bodies and arched
backs, which insures large sides; their
bones are large, legs very strong and
feet well formed and powerful These
hogs are kindly disposed and very
vigorous and healthy. Perhaps if these
hogs were raised in large numbers, a
good market could be built up for
them. But at present the demand is
for pork and grease, and not for bacon
with alternate layers of fat and lean.
At present we would not advise the
raising of Tamworth hogs except for
home use. Poland Chinas, Berkshires,
Duroc-Jerseys, and other breeds that
run largely to fat. are best for market

AN EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use OF alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the
State University Of Missouri, says:
aThe deleterious effects of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used IN
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous, and should De re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use or
alum baking powders are thus summed
I'D in a medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
ct is an irritant which iniames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
ct is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
at renders the albumen of the food
partially insoluble. and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
at is absorbed into the blood, which
1t tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
"Its continued absorption into the
system causes some forms OF nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
lions of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains of alum have caused
the death of child. Larger doses have
frequently resulted fatally in the case
of adults.
mo drug so powerful and deadly, no
matter in what proportions 1t may be
employed, can safely be used in any
article of food"

machinery o., the Farm.

The importance of mechanical pow
er on a farm is not generally appreci-
ated as it ough to be. Every con-
trivance that lessons muscular labor
is a time saver. Many progressive
farmers use improved implements for
preparing land. planting, cultivating
and harvesting their crops; but all are
operated by hand or horse power. A
power is needed that can be used in
side the barn, to run thresher, to
grind feed, to operate the churn, to
pump water, to saw wood, to turn
lather or grindstone. There are many
powers adopted to these purposes, but
many farmers do not use them. Some
farm ars are not able to buy steam
or gasoline engine, or an efficient
windmill In such cases tread mill
operated by horses, at little expendi-
ture of muscular energy, will be found
cheap and efficient. 1t can be hauled
from place to place by team OF
horses, and then operated by the same
team. There is no danger from explo-
sion or fire in these machines, and
they can do an immense amount of
money saving labor-Texas Farm and
Ranch

Water is the most potent factor in
farming. Some farmers can't get
enough water on their fields, and 9TH
ers can't get the water off. 1rriga-
ton and draining are therefore the
most important subjects for agricultu-
raj contemplation. In buying a farm,
or land to be devoted to farming,
facilities for drainage should be con-
sidered. 1t is often the case that good
drainage can be secured by proper lay
ing out of fields and very little OF
ditching. Irrigation. to some extent at
least, can be provided for by damming
a ravine and blowing out burrows to
direct the course of the storm water.
But generally this calls for elevating
the water by windinills, OF other pow
er. Some land can be irrigated from
shallow wells by pumping to an ele-
waited reservoir and putting the water
on the land by the gravity process.
Drainage is almost as important as ir-
rigation, and can be made much less
costly process. Too much water is as
deleterious as too 1ittle.-Farm and

Bright,s Disease Cured.

Whitehall, Ill.,, Dec IA case has been
recorded in this place recently, which up
sets the theory of many physicians that
Bright's Disease is incurable. 1t is the
case of Mr.. Lon Marley, whom the doc
tors told that he could never recover. Mr..
Manley tells the story of his case and
how he was cured in this way:
II began using Dodd's Kidney Pills
after the doctors had given me up. For
four or FIVE years l had Kidney, Stomach
and Liver Troubles; / was general wreck
and at times | would get down with my
back so bad that could not turn myself
in bed for three or four days at time
Il had several doctors and at last they
told me l had Bright's Disease, and that
| could never get well. l commenced to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and l am now
able to do all my work and am all right.
most heartily recommend Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and am very thankful for the
cure they worked in my case. They
saved my life after the doctors had given
me up."

that when the starting pistol was
