TOOT FOR MISSOURI CORN.
Poetic puRe PealS a Paean OF Pride

ON the Inside.

The Joplin Globe poet, having read that
Missouri beats the world in the production
OF corn, took his horn in hand and blew these
few blasts in celebration of the fact:
When you think about Missouri; and are
wont to toot her horn. please to give pass
ing mention to her golden yield of corn
Thugh she sets the pace industrial in ap-
pies rosy red, and in other lines OF effort is
kerenely at the head, il is only very recently
she's come into her own as me state where
in the biggest crop of yellow corn is grown.
The bureau of statistics agricultural reia; es
that Missouri now has d:stanced all her sis
tcrhood of states in the number of acres
dedicated unto corn and the number of
bushels from each fruitful acre born. The
statistics draw compar sons, which show
sas is assigned to second place, and ambitious
Oklahoma, OF whom deal is heard, the facts
and icy figures stick in corner labeled third.
So hereafter, when YOU feel inclined to toot
the old states horn, don't forget to blow a
blast or two in honor Of her cora"

ANOTHER ..NATURE" BOOK.
In Which Bridget SetOn-Clancy Re-
lates Tales of Her Intimacy
with Wild Animals.

'Wild Brutes l Have Saw by Bridget
Seton-CIancy. This charming group OF es-
says has about it the odor of the backwoods
to a remarkable degree, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
The autho1css explains, in the preface,
that her early life was spent in the wilds
of mort hern Minnesota, where she associate
almost entirely with wild animals. She
says:
MANY times l used to set under a tree
for hours at "a time, watching for to get q
shot at a rabbit. l could shoot good with
. rife, and have often saw men who were
worse shots than l be. When the other girls
were wasting their line going to district
school, l would be walking through the
woods, watching the wild beasts playing in
the trees and on the grass, and learning
something every minute. / seen lots Of
funny incidents, which will try to mention
in this here book"
Miss Seton-Clancy is one of those free,
untamed souls who occasionally startle the
literary world by their supreme disregard
for the statute in sucn case made and pro-
vided If she is ever worried by the rules
of grammar, it does not appear i'll her work.
She mas something to say, and says it straight
from the shoulder.

THE HOGS in WINTER.

The pig Is clean, healthy animal
when gwen chance.
Usually, hog with bristles has a
coarse and thick skin.
With hogs, clean pens and clean beds
will do much to ward off lice and dis
ease.
The pig pen is always a good place
to dispose of imperfect and small fruit
and potatoes.
If the pigs are closely confined, they
must have a variety of food, II they
are to re kept thrifty.
Pigs will stand considerably more
nutritious or rich food, if it is given
often and in small quantities.
Young pigs should be taught to eat
as young as possible and be given all
the skim milk they will drink.
The fattening hogs should have ali
of the grain they will eat up clean But
no more than this should be given.
A cross SOW is dangerous animal to
have around, and should be made fat
and shipped at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
A bushel of corn will make more
pounds of increase when fed to a pig
three months old than when fed to an
older one.
In selecting a young animal for
breeding purposes. one with a gentle
and tractable disposition should always
be chosen.
Hogs may be fed out in winter to a
good advantage IL there is warm and
dry shelter. and it is kept perfectly
clean.-Livo Stock Journal.

at A. 1t should not be placed inside

MAKING PRIME PORK.
Modern Methods Of Production Differ
Essen TALLY from Those In Vogue
u Few Years Ago.

The value of corn for pork produc-
ton was long since recognized; but
changes in economic conditions have
increased the price Of corn during the
past few years and made it necessary
for the farmer to consider what grain
crops he can grow or feed as sub
stitute for portion OF the corn so as
to cheaper the cost of production and
at the same time improve the quality
OF the pork, writes John r. Fain, OF
the Tennessee experiment station. The
cheapness of corn in the past has in one
sense been a detriment to the progress Of
swine husbandry; it has encouraged a
too general use of this cereal for the de-
velopment of the choicest quality Of
breeding animals. When corn was
very cheap it was common practice
to shut the hogs up in a filthy pen
and feed them an unlimited quantity
without regard to cost This made
fat hogs Of what is generally known
as the lard type" Close confinement
and heavy feeding impaired the stam-
ina and vigOr of the animals and un-
doubtedly resulted in undermining the
constitution of the brood SOW. and this
with the unsanitary quarters caused the
destruction of large numbers of hogs
by the dreaded cholera.
Hog breeders now realize that an
open range with grass and forage
crops is desideratum of the greatest
Importance to them. Under such con-
oltlons a superior quality of pork is
ootalned with a better admiNture of
fat and lean. AS can be easily UNDER
stood from these facts and many 9TH
ers which might be adduced. condi-
tlons with regard to swine feeding have
materially changed. Hence it becomes
necessary to determine what grains may
be substituted to advantage for part of
the corn formerly fed and to utilize fully
such by-prOducts of the farm as slops
and skim milk, which were frequently
allowed to so to waste but which are
now known to have a h:sh feeding
value.

THE OLDEST MAN in AMERICA

This centenarian is an ardent friend OK
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and ex-
treme old age, MIR. Brock says:
AFTER a man has lived in the world AZ

'One of the things I have found

affections which are due to sudden
changee in the climate and temperature.

In latsr letter dated January 81, 1903,
Mr.. Brock writes:

Clover Hay for PQulfrY.

There is no doubt or question but
that clover hay is one of the best of
coarse foods for the fowls. In every
500 pounds of clover there are about
IS pounds of line, and this shows in
one way at least, why it is good for
the laying hen. The second or seed,
bearing crop, when we'll cured, is the
cne to put by fo- the use of the poul-
try. 1t can be thrown to them as you
throw it to other stock, but for poul-
try this is waste. A cutting box
that will cut it into half inch bits
should be provided. These bits should
be scalded and slightly salted before
being fed; or better yet, should be
mixed in with a mash of some kind.
The following is a good formula: Two
quarts of clover; two quarts Of bran;
two of corn meal. Pour scalding
water over, and let stand a few hours
before feeding.-Farmers' Voice.
