A PLATE OF PORK CHOPS.

Corn should not be fed in large
amounts to breeding swine.
There is little reason why sows
should not bear two filters of pigs a
year, at least in the hands of skill
full breeder.
Swinekeepers Of large experience say
that lousy hogs are much more likely
to take disease than hogs on which no
vermin exist.
After the pigs are weaned the dry
sows should be placed in a pasture by
themselves and given very little grain
for some time.
Where herds of hogs are badly in
fected with lice the only serviceable
method Of getting rid of them seems
to be to have dipping tank and dip
the hogs.
Sort the sows. Those that have
proved themselves to be prolific and
good mothers may be retained as
breeders, and those whose record has
not been first-class should be dis
carded. It hardly pays to keep a bad
tempered SOW under the impression

MARGARET flung herself into the
W heart of the berry bed and drew

If things could have continued to
run on comfortably she might not
have cared to leave the city, but
things couldn't.
It wasn't Margaret who wanted one
of the affairs to exclude the other. she
drove behind Livingston's thorough
breds or plunged her nose into Ora

OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion.

1t is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
For two years l was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 80 minutes later I would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until
would be very faint and weak. This
went on from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped.
Zone day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
leaving off all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me. as had tried so
many things without any help. But
It was so simple 1 thought I would
give 1t trial, she insisted So
''Well, l ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me, and asked
If had tried her advice.
"'Glad you did, child, do you feel
some better?'
"'No.' said, 4 do not know as
do. the only difference I can see is
have no sour stomach, and come to
think Of it, I haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
'tNor did have any trouble with
Grape-Nuts then or any other time, for
this food always stays down and my
stomach digests it perfectly; I soon
got strong and well again and bless
that old lady every time see her.

well, and 1t is due entirely and only to
having found the proper food in Grape

Good and Bad Feeding.

Presuming that breeder has swine
of first quality the feeding becomes a
question of great Importance. 1t is
often remarked that this and that
breeder failed because he bought ami
mails of fancy breeding points and
then gave them scrub care. This is al
ways a fatal mistake. The pure
bred animals have received many
backsets in reputation from this cause.
Take any of our best strains of hogs
and let them be turned into a poor
feed lot and be given little grass and
much corn. A few generations of that
kind of feeding will give us a scrub
progeny with good set Of pedigrees.
That is a case where the pedigree is
worth less than nothing. 1t is not
enough to know that an animal has a
good line of ancestors; it is necessary
also to know how its immediate an
cestors have been fed.-Farmers' Re-
view.

Cream for Chapped Hands.

A cream for chapped hands, which
is also a whitener, is made as fol-
lows: One ounce white wax, one ounce
spermaceti, one ounce nut oil, all add
ed to one-quarter ounce camphor gum
dissolved in one ounce olive oil. Nett
together and beat to a cream. Rub
into the hands after bathing them in
warm water and CASTLE soap. The
cure is aided by sleeping in loose kid
gloves after the application, as this
prevents the cream rubbing off during
the night; it also causes slight per
spiration Of the hands, which is
whitening.

How to Keep Hair Light.

KEEP your hair light by exposing it
to the sun as many hours each week
as you possibly can. Soda or borax
will keep it light, but they are not
the best shampoos, as they make the
hair brittle. A good tonic is made of
one pint bay rum, one ounce castor
oil, one drachm tincture cantharides.
one drachm carbonate ammonia. Use
three times q week at first, gradually
iessening. Try egg shampoos.

Keep the hogs on pasture, and make
them get as much gain out of grass as

cases of profit. A hog likes clover as

in close, small pen, is not the up-to-
