Skim Milk for PfRr.

Relative to an inquiry concerning
skim milk and pigs, win say that when
two weeks old the young pig will be-
gin to take skim milk from a separate
trough. OF course, only a little will be
consumed at that time. but 1t should
be supplied two or three times daily
at nrst, and twice daily later. At first
skim milk alone may be given, but
later cornmeal. barley meal or mid
dlings should be added. Allow the
young pig to eat practically all 1t will
of the combination. Often 1t is best
to have the trough from which. the
pigs feed In a special Enclosure where
the pigs can reach It, while the dam
is kept away. II this plan Is followed
the pigs will gradually wean them
selves when about ten weeks old, or
at least there will be no trouble in
finally separating them from the DAM
Carefully conducted experiments at
this station have shown that to get
the largest returns from both milk and
meal, not over three pounds Of skim
milk should be given for each pound
of cornmeal or other grain. Where one
has large quantities of milk he may
feed as much as from six to nine
pounds of milk with each pound of
grain, but In that case the returns are
no so economical as where the milk
does not run over three pounds for
each pound Of grain.
There is no better single feed for |
pigs than skim milk. Often where |
large numbers Of pigs are handled !
there are runts or pigs OF condi-
ton, understood, etc. Always separate
these from the main lot and fed them |
separately, giving special care. One
will be surprised to see how the IN
likely specimens will improve with
little care and extra allowance OF milk
and grain.-Prof- w. A. Henry, in
Hoard's Dalryman.

HOW 10 nrixhten the maIr.

Women often complain that their
hair is growing darker. This is very
apt TO be the case the older person
grows. And while one cannot al
ways arrest the process there are sew
eral simple shampoos which will be
erectuaI. Golden hair Is by far the
most difficult to treat In this way. for
tie reason that soda and ammonia are
the only ingredients which will have
the desired effect OF keeping the hair
light. and as they are bad for the hair
great care should be taken In using
them. The yolk OF egg. borax. and
sub-carbonate OF potash and rain
water are especially good for dark
haired women.

Corn Long Grown I'm the west.

Corn, which is one OF the staple
products OF Kansas, has been grown
on the soil Of that State for hundreds
of years. Perhaps the first mention
OF Kansas corn is found In the chroni-
cles OF the famous Coronado expedI-
ton Of 1851. How long it was cult
waited there before that time is not
definitely known.
Corn and other vegetable products
were cultivated by the prehistoric
races Of America from a very print
tive period, and Kansas has been oc-
cupied by man from an extremely re-
mote time, as the famous Lansing
skeleton well attests. Bourgmont
found the Konzas Indians. from whom
the State derived its name. raising
corn and other vegetables at their VII
lagos on the Missouri River nearly two
centuries ago.
Prof. Thomas Say, the naturalist of
Major Longs expedition, visited this
same tribe in their village near the
present site Of Manhattan in 1919.
Col. Zebulon NJ. Pike, in the Journal
of bis expeditions in 1905, refers to
the Pawnee Indians, who were raising
a sufficiency OF corn and pumpkins.
Their pumpkins were cut into thin
slices and dried in the sun.
