too much to work. We have something
CT this kind in this country.
We can all have oranges to eat this
winter. Florida will have 100000
boxes and California Will have about
10000 carloads. and the chances are
that the meni who. eat them will make
more money out Of them than the man
who Produced them.
The best all rountB remedy for rnts

A man never makes any money out

Now, the COW is u raachine' pure and
simple. and it she is not kept st work
there is no profit i'm keeping her. and
to get some thing out Of her there must
be something put into her, and the man
who THINKS he cam make, money by
'scrmping the feed Of his cows is very
shortsighed. The. cow should he fed

sheep are being shipped i'll from Mon.

into the corn fields to harvest the crop,

then there is some waste. The. sheep

Reports of hog cholera are begihning
to come in from different sections. and
sorts Of fake cures for this disease. 1t
is just as well to remember that in
spite of all the claims made that this
plague Can be cured there is no discoy-
cred cure for it, The prompt disposal
of all we'll animals, the isolation and
starvation of the sick ones and COM
| plete change of location seem to be the
only course to pursue when an out
break occurs. The Overfeeding with
new corn seems to always invite the
disease, and it is probably true that if
all hogs We're fed better balanced ra-
ton the disease would largely disap-
pear,
We are asked what the post timber
Of the future is to consist Of, a ques-
ton of no little Importance, in view Of
the rapid destruction of all our forests
and the almost entire absence Of any
we'll directed effort to replace them.
There is more than a possibility that
the fence post Of the future will be
made of cement. Cement posts are
already being made and used with sue
cess. The future is quite likely to see
machines costing but little which will
enable every farmer to make his own
fence posts and secure posts which
