HERE AND THERE.

Fine cut second crop of clover hay
steamed and fed in mash to poultry
is great egg food for winter.
Hog worms is often the starting
of hog cholera. Keep the hogs clear
of worms, and they will not be so IL
able to take cholera.
BE reasonable; don't expect your
COW to give you large mess Of rich
milk unless you furnish the material
out Of which to makei as well as a
comfortable place to do it.
The theory of inoculating the soil
with cultures of bacteria for special
crops is a German discovery, and so
far as tests have been made, success
has attended the experiments.
The farmer should not be too
hasty in condemning many of the
birds and animals that frequent his
farm. Many birds, and animals too,
that are believed to be enemies of the
farmer, are in truth his best griends.
The animal feeder rever forgets
that only part of the substance fed
to his animals is actually utilized or
enters the body as a part Of the new
growth made. OF the total material fed
to animals, 1t is known that only .
part is digestfble, and actual food
value.
When the COWS are sed on coarss
food Of q strong taste, as cabbage, tur-
nips, garlic or similar plants. the milk
will surely taste strongly OF flavor, and
though by no means injured by them.
its flavor is quite distasteful with
many.
Turn the hogs into woods pasture
as much as possible this fall. There
is a good supply Of mast. and It Is
about the cheapest food for hogs. Hogs
relish acorns, and fatten readily on
them. Conditions found in the woods,
loose soil, abundance Of roots, etc, are
ideal for the hog.
while people <of wealth have for
years tended toward country homes.

 The fiction that once was current that unionism represented labor has been long since dispelled. The arrogance, the tyranny. the vindicttveness and the want of reason and judgment displayed by tn e union leaders and officials have opened wide the eyes of the people, and the one time sympathy and support ex- tended to those organizations have turned to distrust and disgust. When members of unions come to fully realize. and to live and act upon such knowledge, that membership of a union gives them no superior rights above their fellow men. no superiof claims to work or position, then an- tagonism and distrust will cease and in their legitimate efforts to improve their condition and to advance in Iner calling they will have the sympathy and Encouragement of the people.
