WHAT LUCINDA MEAN +.

why do think she likes me best?
IA She never told me. so, and l +
Have never put her to the test;
Perhaps I'll ask her by and by.
Why should she stand and watch, you see,
When l come down the maple lane?
Why should she wave her hand to me
And tap her fingers on the pane?
Why should she reach her hands to take
Ny overcoat and hat, you know?
Why should she pass the frosted cake
And archly say: II made it, Joe?'
And then, why should she always call
Me by my first name? Don't you sec
Such things as these, and others. all
Are signs Lucinda takes to me?
Why does she lean so close, say.
There in the parlor where We sit
After the rest have gone away,
With the lamp wick turned down DIT!
And why, wonder, does she rest
Her hand a moment on my knee?
Sometime III put her to the test
And ask her if she cares for me.
Tonight when I arose to 60
She went and stood beside the door,
And said: you're always welcome, Joe,'
A thing she's often said before.
So now guess it is all right;
Next Sunday I will know you see,
Just what Lucinda meant tonight
When her hand waved a kiss to me.

GOOD TONES FOR HOGS.
The Kind of Mixture That Should BE
Accessible to Them All the
Year Around.

It is necessary to keep constantly &C
cessible to all hogs, both pigs and old
hogs, some material that supplies lime
and salt to aid in BODYBUILDING. as an
appetizer and to remove intestinal par
asites. This mixture should be kept
in a strong box protected from rain,
and quantity and frequency with which
pigs will visit and eat of the mixture
will often be surprising. The follow
ing is the mixture that we use:
Charcoal, one and one-half bushels.
Common salt, four pounds.
Hard wood ashes, ten pounds.
Stacked lime, four pounds.
Another thing which is good for the
pig is variety OF feeds. Pigs do bet
ter on a variety than on any single
feed. This fact is scarcely ever dis
puted by the farmer, but is often
enough ignored to give it some empha-
sis. Just how much better the pig win
do If fed variety, we will let the pig
himself testify; for whatever other
mean thing a pig will do he will not
tell lie about his feed.
Fresh water, shade in summer, grain
food when on grass, and dry bed free
from dust, shelter in winter, and above
all, when confined, have the area sufh-
GENTLY large so that it will not become
foul with droppings and mud bugs.
These are essential for successful hog

Should Sheep Eat Salt9

Experiments have recently been made
in France for the purpose of ascertain
Ing the nutritive value of salt for sheep.
Three groups of sheep were otherwise
ted with the same feed, but the first lot
received no salt, each of the second lot
half an ounce of salt daily, and each of
the third lot three-fourths of an ounce
daily (the ounce being reckoned at about
2811 grams). The result was that the
sheep of the second group each gained in
weight AZ pounds more than those
which received no salt, and about IN
pounds more than those which received
over half an ounce. Moreover, the sheep
which received salt produced TX pounds
more wool than those which received
no salt. The report does not state how
long the experiments were continued.

BABY BEEF PRODUCTION.
Gain Largely Depends ON Age of the
Animal and the Way In Which
1t IL Fed.

Feeders Of baby beef, who keep their
animals up to their work, are known
to make gain of over two pounds
daily for IL months. This gain depends
upon the age of the animal and the
manner in which it is fed. A matter
that should not be overlooked by the
farmer is the appropriate food for each
animal; he should aim to increase the
weight by making the animal as fat as
possible, as fat is more easily produced
on an animal than either lean meat or
bone. 1t has been shown that to in
crease the excess of either fat or lean
on an animal depends upon the age.
The natural inclination of yearling
animal is growth, and the system de-
mands materials containing but a
small portion of fat producing quail
ties, but as growth adds to weight, the
more rapid the growth the greater the
increase in weight, which, of course.
accounts for the quick gains made by
young animals as compared with those
approaching maturity, and which fact
gives rise to the claim that baby beef
is the cheaper form of the two. To
know the breeds and how to use them:
to be aware of the fact that some
breeds assimilate more food and give
off less waste than others, and to learn
how to convert food into a salable
product quickly and economically is
what each one must study out for him.
self. Have a pair of scales, weigh fire.
Quently and note the ratio of increase
In weight. BY so doing one can cover
the causes of failure and correct mis-
takes. The time is coming when the
farmer will not be satisfied with less
than a pound day from birth for his
farrows and wethers up to one year old.
In approaching maturity gains are not
so great, but previous to that animals
for the block should be pushed. FL
nally, breeds that gain weight in the
high-priced portions of the carcass
must be given preference, and feeders
must know that they are breeding for
definite results. Baby beef must have
the fat in the right Observation-Disclosures

Boxing Hogs for Shipping.

Previous to shipping, place the hog in

to being alone. Feed him lightly, which

A LITTLE HORSE SENSE.

Keep the stalls clean and neatly bed

Now is a good time to whitewash the
stables.
Never tie horse when hot and
sweaty in a draft.
Shredded corn fodder. is excellent
feed for horses that are idle or doing
light work, but it must be dry and free
from mold.

that the eggs produced in this country
in a single year have market value OF

Pa.ture Sod for Corn.

Here is a new wrinkle in preparing
pasture sod for corn: Plow late this

ready to plant, pillow it again, this time
