From Ttmo in:mcmorinl.
Some writer has said that "rhc first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucl;ed the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test III the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity of grai against all hour
OF need. Just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the flour preparatory t, baking
it in the ashes of his camp fire, aud just
when it was found that an Did piece of dough
in fresh batch made it betteror "leayened"
1t, is beyond the reach of historians. Ger.
tainit is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago as il is to-day,
it has remained for the makers of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the-n
leavening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny' orsoggy bread. This
il the yeast that took the first grand prize
at the st. Louis Exposition, and reyolption-
ICES the bread making ineyery home where
it is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any flour.
Yeast Foam is purely vegetable, being
made of the hest malt corn, hops and other
healthtul ingredients. 4hc factory is also
the cleanest and best equirned in the world
This yeast is the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious flavor aAd
nutrtive value Of the wheat. The, bread
made with it is alwaya sweet andWholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves of
bread can be made from one 30 package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called Good Bread ;sIio% to
Make It," ThK little hook, irNaai,atife in
its way, has twenty -si8illustraton IN c3lors,
and tells how to make all kinds of bread, ,

A coon TROUGH GUARD.

their share, l have number of
schemes and devices, but | consider
the one shown in the illustration to be
as good as, If not better than, any.
Then, too, it is so simple that any
farmer with hammer and saw, and
such loose pieces as may be found in
almost any scrap pile, can build a sub
stantial affair that will suit.
The first requisite is good-sized,
well-constructed trough, built prefer
ably in N-shape, as shown by "a" The
width of the side boards will depend
upon the size Of the hogs to be fed. A
small trough, with six-inch side
boards, may be used for the wee pigs,
and twelve or sixteen-inch stuff for the
large shotes and breeding sows. The
size of pieces "c' and ID should de-
pend upon the weight of the animals
and the strain likely to come on the
frame. For hogs of ordinary weight
piece two by four inches should be
used for the ridgepole, &C." and pieces
one by three or two by two inches for
the guard bars, I'd" These should be
securely nailed to the side of the
trough, and if a permanent trough in
the hog house, spiked to the floor to
prevent breaking off. The upright,
"e,' firmly spiked to 3D." should be
amply stout to secure endwise rigid
ity.
For delivering slop to the trough, a
spout or small trough should be ar
ranged to enter at the end of the feed
trough. With this arrangement, when
the distance between the bars has been
properly adjusted to the size of the
animal only one can get to the trough
between each space, and all sidewise
crowding is effectually prevented

An Effective Trough Guard.

One of the greatest troubles with
the hog is that he is'so irrepressibly
hoggish. When you feed him, he ap-
parently feels it his inherent duty to
crowd every other hog, as far and
forcefully away from the feed as pos
sible. When fed grain on the open
floor, he takes it upon himself to cover
as much as he can, to keep nosing and
pushing his fellows, often to his own
loss Of food, since more or less is
wasted by his rude table manners"
When fed slOp in the trough, the big
geSt hog will invariably work his way
through or over the jam, and get his
carcass into the trough, where he com
placently stands lengthwise, and if not
satisfied with that, lays himself down,
gulplng in his own and the smaller
ones share until too full even to grunt,
when he will stretch out for snOoZe
if the trough is big enough.

give all an equal chance to secure

Barley as Feed for Horses.

Except on the Pacific coast barley
Is not extensively used as feed In the
United States, doubtless owing to the
fact that it is in such demand for
brewing purposes that it Is high in
price. Wherever it is grown, however,
1t is frequently possible to secure at a
low cost grain which is Off color owing
to rain or fog during harvest and
which for this or some other reason Is
unfit for brewing, but valuable as feed.
The barley grown on the Pacific coast
is extensively used in the feeding of
horses. Its use for this purpose is old
in other countries. The Arabs fed their
horses unground barley, and it is used
successfully by the BerbcrS of north
Africa. In Europe its value is gener-
ally recognized Barley may be fed
whole to horses having good teeth and
not required to do severe work. Since
ground barley, like wheat, forms
pasty mass when mixed with saliva. it
is regarded as more satisfactory to
crush than to grind it if for any rea-
son it is considered undesirable to feed
the grain whole.

WANT HONEST UNDERWEAR.
Trade Complaints About Practice OF
Skimping Size.

Trade Complaints About Practice OF
Skimping Size.
An agitation is now going on in the
underwear manufacturing trade in
favor of establishing some standard
Of size for garments on which both
the retail dealers and the public can
depend, and which, If adhered to- will
put stop to what is really a fraud on
the public, says the New York Times.
The number marked on garment is
usually supposed to indicate it's actual
size. Thus a 3S garment ought to
measure thirty-eight inches, 40 gar
ment forty inches, and so on. AS a
matter Of act however, in the cheaper
grades Of underwear the practice of
making up sizes has gained ground so
fast that the numbering has come to
mean little or nothing. This is espe-
cially so this season on account Of the
high price of cotton, which tempted
the manufacturers to take advantage
OF any scheme to cheaper the gar
ments. Now in the cheapest grades
garment marked 3S may only measure
thirty -four inches, and the retailers
have been overwhelmed with COM
plants, which they have passed on to
the jObbers, and which the jobbers in
turn have passed on to the manufac-
turers. This kind of skimping has
only been tried on the cheapest grades
Of garments, but there has been anoth-
er method which is even more annoy
ing to the consumer and which has run
through nearly all the grades. This is
the practice Of sklmping material in
other ways, while making the garment
to measure just what 1t Ia marked, so
far as the main dimensions are con-
cerned. Thus shirt marked 40 will
measure forty inches in the chest, but
will be an inch or two short in the
body, and pair OF drawers marked
3S will measure thirty weight inches
around the waist, but the legs will be
so narrow that the wearer will prob
he tries to put them on.
The chief reason for this condition
is the practice prevailing in the under
wear trade of selling goods at q fixed
price. A garment must be made to
sell at % or so cents, and IL cotton
goes up the retailer feels that he can
not get 26 or 80 cents for the same gar
ment. He demands that the manufac-
turer still furnish him with the same
garment or one equally as attractive
to sell at the standard price, and the
result is that the latter is forced to
cheaper his output in some way. The
manufacturer is so far from the cum
sumer, all the business in this line be-
ing done through commission houses
and jobbers, that he often feels that
he does not need to study the public's
wants at all. For some time there ha.
been an agitation in favor of asking the
retailers to try to change the system
Of fixed price selling. 1t obtains in
no country but the United States and
the European manufacturers who sell
goods here have simply refused to fall
in with 1t. They have. priced their
goods at actual value, and in spite Of
the advance in cotton have maintained
the quality of their output. OF course
most of the imported underwear Is in
the better grades, but even the cheap
stuff imported has kept up its reputa.
ton for honesty.

Notes About Farm Work.

NOtes ABOUT farm work.
Tennessee farmers want the State
to appropriate $1,000 to develop the
live stock Investigations now in prog
ress, and to extend experiments in
breeding and feeding.
There are GA, 200 farmers in Texas
the largest number Of all the States
In the Union. Georgia comes next
with $4,000.
Give house plants as much light as
possible during the day, and darkness
with low temperature at night.
Some Western men claim to have
obtained good results from feeding the
common desert cactus to cattle. They
say when chopped up and boiled, or
soaked in water, the sharp and dan
gerous points become soft. The de-
partment of agriculture is investigat-
ing the matter.

Deep or Light Flowing.

The whole matter resolves itself into
a question of soil and climate. If
soil Is thin, then it is manifest that it
would be very foolish to dip the plow
into the raw subsoil and bring it to the
top, though perhaps subsoiling would
improve matters by helping the drain
ing and allowing the roots to pene-
trate downward more easily. Again,
III the matter of climate; in a dry dis
trict shallow plowing nearly always
gives the best resuts-wlth a grain
crop, at least. Often the best wheat
has been grown where the surface
was disked to clean off the rubbish,
and the seed drilled in down to the
hard, unmoved soil. The reason of
this Is that In dry district the plant
has to depend largely on the ground
moisture, which rises by capillary ac-
tion much better through firm soil than
through loose plowei land. Where
bare following is practiced on stiff
clays, then the shallow system is the
best, for it means ever so much less
soil to move per acre where there are
repeated plowings, civilizations, etc,
to be done. On the whole, probably
shallow plowing, combined with an oc.
caslonal stirring of the subsOil with "A
subsoiler attached to the plow, Is the
