WHEN FARM ANIMALS DIE.
There's Money in Their Hides # They
Are Taken OF Properly and
Promptly Sailed.

Each year there are many thousands
of cows, horses and sheep that die by
sickness CT accident whose hides will
bring good prices II taken of prop
erly and promptly sailed and sent to
market. 1t is more important to salt
hides taken from dead animals than
those that are slaughtered, for the
sticking draws out most Of the blood
from the hides as well as the meat
of such. Not so with. the animal that
dies without being bled; hence the
necessity Of prompt and we'll sailing.
To do this. it requires bucket of salt
to a good-sized hide; smaller ones in
proportion. Such hides If we'll taken
of and not cut with holes will bring
full value. The wool from dead sheep,
when the hide is spoiled, is worth
saving also. II farmers will carry out
our suggestions, they will thank us for
telling them of it. Take them off
right, follow instructions on sailing
and they will get number one price il
sent to a good firm. They should not
be deceived by buyers at home, who
tell them that hides and skins from
dead animals are not worth half the
price of those from slaughtered ami
mals.-Midland Farmer.

DISEASE IN sw,LL BARREL.
Carelessasss Which Il the Direct
Cause Of Immense Loss Among
Hogs on the Farm.

The more closely swine diseases of
the ordinary character are Investigated
the more clearly it appears that they re-
suit almost exclusively from improper
feeding and care. Ithas been discovered
that the ordinary swill barrel is breed
er of germs that carry diseases of vary
ing character to the animals that con-
sumo the swill 1t should surprise no
one that this is true, when the contents
of the average swill barrel are inven-
toried. In contributing to that recep-
tacle no thought is given to anything
but the disposition of some waste of the
house in a quick and easy manner.
The swill barrel is located to tempt
deposits of everything that no other use
can be made of, regardless of its charac-
ter as food Of health or nutrition. So
into it go meat scraps, partially decayed
fruits, vegetables cooked and uncooked,
all the table scraps, greasy, sour and
sweet combined, coffee and tea grounds
milk in all stages of acidity; soapy and
unclean dishwater, the vilest ingredient
of all; and not infrequently drowned
chicken spices the conglomeration. The
combination is, as a rule, in state Of
fermentation, and too often putridity,
adding enormously to the unhealthful
character of the nauseating mass.

RAISING HOGS ON SHARES.
A Practice Quite Popular in Iowa and
One That Yields Big Profits
to Investors.

Iowa farmers in many cases are rent
ing lands on which hogs are grown on
shares, having stocked the farm on
shares to tenants. A telegram from
Iowa City says that the problem now is,
on what basis shall the increase Of
brood sows and other animals supplied
on shares be divided at the end of the
season?
The owner of the animals placed out
on shares has usually expected at the
time of divisions half of the increase of
such animals, OF if the animals are not
sold, an equitable division of them has
usually been made. This plan has been
carried out many times in this county
with both sides of the bargain well
pleased, despite the fact that the first
owner of the sows gets all the best of the
bargain.
The way in which careful farmer of
the county figured it out this spring, and
it is on his figures that the most of the
present contracts are based, is to take a
herd of ten sows, and placing the usual
value upon them, about $3.50, credit that
to the owner. He credits also ten acres
of pasture land, rented for about $50, to
the same side Of the book, bringing his
investment up to about 5000. He then
takes the average production, Of about
six pigs to the SOW, and values them at
$72, or 500 for the whole herd.
Up to this time it has been the custom
for the investor to take half Of this
sum, or $500, az his share of the in
crease, and since money has been tight
during the past few years, he has had
no trouble in getting it. 1t gives him.
however, about $50 per cent. on his in
vested capital for the risk involved.

4 HAY-sTAckING DERRICK.
Continuance Like the One Here De-
scribed Saves Lots Of Time
and Lessons Labor.

Many farmers, whose barn capacity
is somewhat limited, stack the larger
portion Of their hay crop until after
threshing, and then haul it into the
barn later for winter feeding. Under
such circumstances this method seems
advisable, for then, if the weather
should happen to be like what We have
had the past two seasons, there Is not
the danger of losing the entire grain
crops. OF course during some seasons
there is q greater bulk of roughage to
be stored than during other seasons,
nevertheless, the majority of farmers
know just about the producing capa-
city of their land, and can quite accu-
rately estimate amount of barn room
that will be required to store their
crops and from year to year be able,

as soon as q crop is ready to be har-
vested, to, secure it. by storing. under
shelter. There is but little doubt that
Vi the loss sustained from stacking
crops were accurately figured out,
there would be enough loss upon the
majority of farms in five years to pay
the cost of building barn suflcient-
ly large to store all the crops raised
upon the farm. al
The past two rainy seasons have, 4
think, demonstrated that capital in
barns is good investment. There
are, however, great many farmers
who are abundantly. able to have con-
venient barns for storing their crops
who have not, simply because they DO
not believe the above statement Upon
my own farm I have plenty of stor-
ing room for all the hay and grain. If
I had not, I would not hesitate a mo-
ment to invest in more barn room.
But where the barn room. is linn
tied, and it is necessary to stack hay.
derrick similar to the one illus
trated in the cut can be. erected that
will greatly lessen the labor involved
In stacking. The derrick shown in cut
requires three poles. two 40 feet long
and one 81 feet. The two longest poles
should be arranged in the shape of an in
verted v by boiling the ends together
with three-quarter-inchb bolt. The poles
should be set into the ground at least
four feet in order to help stay the
derrick. The derrick can be raised
by the use of q rope and tackle, and
thus greatly lessen the heavy lifting.
1t will be necessary to stay the poles
by running a No. 10 wire from the
top to the single pole over the top
of the other poles. and then down to
the ground about 80 feet from the
foot of the derrick. 1t will also be
necessary to stay the derrick in 9TH
er directions. The manner in which
the fork is arranged is very clearly
shown in the cut. This derrick has
now been in use five seasons, and has
proved very satisfactory-Leo c. Rey

RACE DoNE7
Not a Bit Of It.

A man who thought his race was
run made food find that brought him
back to perfect health.
zone year ago was unable to per-
form any labor, in fact was told by
my physicians that they could do moth
ing further for me. I was fast sink
ing away, for an attack of grip had left
my stomach SO weak it could not d.
gest any food sufficient to keep me
alive.
There I was Just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weak
er, really being snuffed out simply be-
cause could not get any nourishment
from food.
"Then my sister got after me to
try Grape-Nuts food which had done
much good for her, and she finally
persuaded me, and although no other
food had done me the least bit of
good, my stomach handled the Grape
Nuts from the first, and this food sup
piled the nourishment I had needed.
In three months I was so strong I
moved from Albany to San Francisco
and now on my three meals of Grape
Nuts and cream every day am strong
and vigorous and do fifteen hours
work.
Il believe the sickest person in
the world could do as I do, eat three
meals of nothing but Grape-Nuts and
cream, and soon be on their feet again
in the flush Of best health like me.
:"Not only am I in perfect physical
health again, but my brain is stronger
and clearer than it ever was on the
old diet. hope you will write to the
names I send you about Grape-Nuts,
