Raising Hogs
PrOfitably

The man who makes swine raising
his business has suitable quarters FOL
his pigs. His buildings are commo
dious, yet compact. They are dry and
warm, let In lots OF light and are wei
ventilated. He has his pasture lots
convenient, both the permanent one
and those on which he rotates clover
rye. rape and other crops. He selects
that breed which meets the demand OF
his best market and sticks to II. prac
tlces careful selection and retention OF
only the best In brood sows and avoids
inbreeding and immature breeding.
There Is no domestic animal so pro,
life or unde" any conditions more prof.
liable than lie pig. A very small cap
ital Is need d to engage in the bust
ness. and til" returns are quick. A pig
will increas" in weight as much per
day as fartening steer and do 1t on
only a small proportion of the food.
The trouble Is less. the return larger,
and the manure Is the most valuable of
farm fertilizers.
The first reelection OF breeding stock
is of prime importance. The effects of
misn Iting are always difficult to breed
out Of herd. and the effect on a be-
glnner is such that a mistake may
completely discourage him. 1t Is good
economy to make Taste slowly at this
time. The tart should be made with
q few animals. Five sows will make
a large enough herd for the first year.
They should be good individuals. and
it will even be much better to buy one
high class COW than five poor ones.
This VII be real economy, and the de-
veloI nent of the he'll will prove its
value. 1t r'ill be well II a beginner
can { -. II tie ass. ilnce OF an old and
successful ee3er In making a start.

A given amount OF corn and cot

Cornmeal proved much more eli

For Delicate Children.

A physician whose mode OF treat
ment has been particularly successful
In building up children Of weak ply
sique advocates good rich beef stew
with plenty of bone in 1t several times
q week. The bone furnishes jelly
strengthening to bones and sinews.
For this purpose piece from the shin
or lower part Of the round is best.
Have the butcher saw the bones In
order to get all the marrow. Cover
with cold water, then put on close
lid and simmer several hours. Do not
let 1t boil. Vegetables and seasonings
may be added to suit. The same doctor
recommends the use Of punching bag
for small boy with narrow chests or
a tendency to round shoulders. When
a real leather punching bag Is out of
the question very good substitute is
any stout bag loosely filled with bran.
All exercise should be taken in the
open air whenever possible.

hub the wrinkles.

A little gentle rubbing on all parts of
the face where wrinkles occur should
be practiced daily. This prevents for
nation of the lines and wrinkles that
age the face and spoil it's beauty and
also decreases them where they are al
ready visible. The fingers, moistened
with some lubricant to facilitate fric-
ton and prevent irritating the skin,
should first stroke gently, then rub
each with n soft aud gentle pressure
IN the opposite direction TO that of the
lines. For those on the forehead the
movement should be an upward cur g
toward the temples, with firm but
gentle pressure; at the corners of the
eyes the touch must be delicate, as
the-c is little fat there, and on the eye
lids and below the eyes tho slightest

sneciaI breeding Pays.

The horse breeder should have an
ideal in his mind to breed to. Distinct
types must be produced for the horse
market, not the general all around use
full horse. One reason why horses be
came q drug on the market ten years
ago was because breeders and farmers
produced a surplus of horses which had
no particular characteristics-not spe-
cialIy good in any line. Today there
Is universal demand for horses that
excel in any particular class. Promis.
cuous breeuing does not pay, but spe-
cial class or type breeding does. Pre-
miums are uaily offered for the best
animals of any class.-Breeder's Ga

Meter sheep, More Wool.

Our English wool correspondent
makes n very significant statement.
1T is notable," says he, that when
Australia last depastured the same
number of sheep as she did last year
the exports of wool were in round
numbers million bales. This year the
exports are 100000 bales, so that
owing to Improvements in breed the
same number of sheep have yielded
100000 bales more wool."-American

Rad Domestfc service.
We had the other day the report OF
two ladies' whom benevolent curicsi-
ty had led TO explore factory life In
disguise The life seemed neither re
fined nor attractive. The labor must
be intensely monotoneus and dull. The
only bright features appear to be dress
and flrtation. Nothing can possibly be
learned IN the factory which could be-
OF the slightest service to a vito or
mother. To the consequent discomfort
OF homo may probably be set down
many of the cases OF wife desertlon, m
offense which appears to be on the in-
crease. The same probably would be
found 10 be sometimes the source OF
wife beating, which. with the tendency
to resort to violence now prevalent. 1t
Is proposed TO punish by public fog
ging In the belief. apparently. that con-
jugal harmony would thus be restored.
But, then, 1t must be owned, the fac
tory girl has independence after fac
tory hours; limited though dull and
monotonous work; her Sunday to her
self. She has companionship which,
where only one servant Is kept, is lack
Ing and which no doubt is often cause
OF restlessness. She has the sentiment
tai satisfaction of calling nobody mas
ter or mistress. though a master she
really has. and a stern one. We can
