HOGS A DAIRY ADJUNCT.

Those whc are interested In dairy.
ing should bear in mind that the pro
duction of hogs from the by-products
OF the dairy, along with. such other
foods as are necessary. makes it pos.
sible to produce pork very cheaply.
and the best part of it is that pork
produced in this manner is in the

HOW TO GET RID OF HIM.

on How to Get Rid of a Lover:
Step often on his feet.
Move your hands Il little every
time he opens his mouth. 1t win
make him nervous.
Let him see you conversing with.
superior men while he sits bored and
unnoticed in the background.
Do not move when he attempts to
embrace you.
Should he offer caress turn lit.
tie aside.
Ask him to love you when he is
tired
Never laugh when he laughs.
II both should happen to laugh at
the same time show that you are not
laughing at what he is laughing.
When he wants to tell you a story
interrupt him with another one that
has nothing to do with the one he is
about to tell you.
Find fault with all plans he makes
for your pleasure.
Ask him continually for things he
cannot give you.-Minneapolis Jour.

CORN AND COB MEAL FOR FEED
ING.

At the Kansas experiment station
Professor Shelton fed two different
cots in order to determine the reia-
live value of these two feeds. The
FIRST experiment shows an average
gain per steer OF 316 pounds with
corn and cob meal. and 292 pounds
with cornmeal The grain required
for 100 pounds OF gain was 7S2 pounds
with corn and cob meal and sSo
pounds with cornmeal. In his second
trial about equal amounts of corn and
cob meal and cernmeal were required
DO produce the same gains. The re-
suits of these experiments would indl-
cate that, pound for pound, corn and
cob meal has equal value with corn
meal.
At the Texas station an experiment
was made in which the corn, cob anu
husk we're ground together. In this
case the total gain made by the steers
on the corn and cob and husk meal
was 481 pounds, on coarse c0rnmeal
465 pounds. Four hundred and nine-
ty-eight pounds of the corn, cob and
hush meal were required for 106
pounds of gain and 400 pounds OF
c0rnmeal were required for iou
pounds of gain. Deducting the weight
Of the cob and husk it is found that
1888 pounds of clear meal with the
cob and husk produced the same gains
that 400 pounds of cornmeal fed alone
produced. This would indicate saw
ing of three per cent In feeding whole
corn ground up. II ycu have mill
that will grind ear-corn | think you
win find 1t preferable to feed cattle
corn and cob meal.
There is much less danger OF foun-
der and digestive troubles than where
clear cornmeal is fed Cornmeal is
too concentrated and apt to. lie sodden
an the stomach, and undoubtedly IS
not acted upon by the digestive juices
go thoroughly as where it is mixed
with the cob. In this condition it is
Righter, more porous, and as rule
much better results may be expect
ed. The only difficulty with feeding
corn and cob meal is that it requires
a little more power to grind it than
it does to grind shelled corn.
We have been feeding at the Kan
sas experiment station corn and cob
meal for two years and much prefer it
to feeding cornmealr alone. The last
few weeks before the cattle are mar
keted 1t might be well to gradually
change the ration to clear cornmeal,
As 1t will aid in giving better finish
to the cattle. G. C. Wheeler, Kansas
Experiment Station.

MAKE THE BROOD SOW COM.
PORTABLE.


The brood SOW should receive a lib
eral amount of feed and that which is
Of the best quality. She must be kept
in good condition, if she is to bring
strong, healthy pigs. It is not posi-
lie for a half starved sow to be at
her best in pig production, and why
not have her at her best? Give her
plenty of feed, and never give it to
her dry. A brood SOW should have
an abundance of roots and slop at this
time of the year. Do not let her have
dry grain Of any kind. If her feed is
dry, it matters not how nutritious 1t
may be, 1t will produce fevered con-
ditfon in the sow and make narrowing
hasder for her. 1t will also be against
the flow of milk for the pigs. Rye.
oats and wheat, ground separately or
together. make good slops, of which
the sow should be fed literally. Just
as soon as there is any pasture for
her, let her have the benefit of it. Do
mot let her run with the fattening
Aogs; 1t is not the place FOR a. brood
SOW.
The care for the brood sow should
be similar to that born of affection.
Yes, sir, affection! One should have
q constant desire to make her COM
portable. Then he will not compel her
to 1leen ont of doors, these cold
stormy night, with her back the only
protection against the northwest
wind. but he will give her warm,
roomy quarters, for protection in bad
weather, and warm bed to sleep in.
Stop all the cracks where the cold
wind blows in. and see that il does
not rain through the roof.
The brood SOW should be allowed to
go in and out of her house at her own
pleasure. For this purpose swing
ing door is very good. Make the out
side run as big as possible-the big
ger the better, for brood sow needs
plenty Of room to roam around. It
WiYi have to be big lot il she does
not find the back side of it, and the
trip will do her good.
Just before narrowing time-about a
week before is safest-shut her away
from all other hogs, and look after
her carefully till she farrows. Don't
excite the brood SOW. nor allow her
TO be worried b. anything. If she
gets out. don't dog her back; there is
a better way.-A- L. B. in The Indi-
ana Farmer.

SIMPLE PLEASURES.

The modern tendency is toward ex
travagant entertainment, costly fav.
ors and critical attitude, even
among the very young. Fun is esti.
mated at its cost value. Instead OF
enjoying a game for the sake of a
romp, many children look forward to
a party for what they are to get from
it in the way of gifts. They do not
throw themselves into play with nat
ural abandon. We Of an older genera,
ton, who can recall our rare visits
to the theatre during the HOLIDAYS and
the weeks of blissful anticipation
which preceded them, look with pity
at the children who are taken to
matinees every Saturday. What Is
left for them when they grow up and
who is to blame for this state of
things? Can we be surprised that to
these practiced infantiIe eyes "Blind
Mans Buff" seems tame?
Does the wise parent load her child
with lot of unnecessary luxuries?
The cheapest toy generally receives
the most lasting attention, and the
child who is earliest taught to ego
without" something is the child for
whom its parents are laying the sur
est foundation for happiness in the
long run. Teach the children not to
despise small things, to believe that
overdressing, over eating and general
extravaganza are not the things that
make for lasting pleasure, and teach
them also that an unselfish spirit. a
desire to share with others and a
determination to enjoy whatever
comes shall win every boy and girl
a place in the affections of those
around them.--Philadelph Inquirer.
