FEED FOR PIGS.
Improved Breeds of Hogs Gail i'Or
Improved Methods of Feeding
and good Food.

Improved hogs call 0oudlyl for i'm
proved methods of feeding and for
best feeds. The cost of such feeds will
vary widely with farm conditions, but
the pigs must be fed. Young pigs of
four TO six weeks should have ground
feed or green feed given three times
each day. Later we can drop to two
feeds as supplements to the mothers
care and food supply. What shall we
feed?
The average farmer at this season
has only corn and grass for hogs. This
is fairly good for hogs, but We can not
feed these so well to pigs, Many feel
they are actually b%ankrupting them
selves when forced to feed sound corn
to little pigs" They are, in a meas
ure, right. II rarely pays. 1t fails to
pay because nothing else but mothers
milk is fed with the corn, A better
plan is to use shorts, bran. barley,
crushed oats or cotton seed meal with
the corn chops. Cotton seed meal?"
'Did we say cotton seed meal?" Yes,
feed cotton seed meal to the pigs, as
directed, and nothing but good will
come of it. Feed a little blood meal
to the young things-not more than
two %teaspoonfuls per day TO a pig three
weeks old.
Which are the cheaper of these
things? When barley or wheat are on
the farm. feed these in preference TO
buying. High priced?" Yes, but the
pigs are to be good ones and high
priced. Don't raise any other kind
even if you are forced to kill and
sell the pork yourself. Feed to three
week pigs crushed OF ground wheat
and barley. They will not eat much.
When able to eat freely give them
these grains whole and scatter them
so that the little fellows will chew
the grain. In case we need to buy,
current prices will have much to do
with the selection of the grain, When
prices are as follows we would suggest
the several rations noted below for
pigs four to twelve weeks old. Corn
50 cents per bushel, shelled oats 40
cents, wheat $1,20, bran $l.05, shorts
SIZE per 100 pounds,
Feed, Mixture No. Corn, 5 pounds;
wheat, 3 pounds; cotton seed meal, 2
pounds, Total, 10 pounds.
Mixture No. Corn, pounds;
wheat bran, 8 pounds. Total, 10
pounds.
MIXTURE No. 3-Corn, s pounds;
shorts, 3 pounds. Total 10 pounds.
Corn is quite cheap in above list
for feeding pigs when compared with
other grains, provided we do not feed
It so freely as to be hurtful or take
the place of a more strengthening
feed, The last ration given is, there-
fore, the cheapest at prices taken, be-
cause it admits of the free use of
corn and involves the use of but lit
tie of the higher-priced stuffs from
which we select companion feeds for
the corn. We can arrange other ra-
lions equally as good from these same
feeds, but probably the prices chosen
will not justify us in charging on this
feature. Texas Farm and Ranch.

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Internationally Formed
and Hard to 81 nix.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains of
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town;
"From my earliest childhood l was
a lover of coffee, Before | was out
of my teens | was q miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
Il was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
| could not deny myself a cuE for
breakfast. At the age of SO ! was in
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
told me | vas in danger of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
But | never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although it kept
me constantly i'll, until tried Postum
l learned to make it properly accord
inE to directions, and now we car
ha dly do without Postum for break
fasr, and care nothing at all f~orcoffee
lam NJ longer troubled with dys-
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me so when | drank coffee" Name

HERE AND THERE.

Bales of cotton to the number Of
fourteen millions are annually pro-
duced in the entire world, and of this
amount the United States alone pro-
duces 70 per cent.
If the farmer can induce his hens
to lay during the winter, he will ma
terribly add to his income; but the IF"
seems to be as far as many go. Often
proper attention is not given to feed
ing, and this causes failure.
The average farmer who expects
success must be a stock grower and
understand the methods of breeding,
growing and finishing stock, as well as
producing the grain, grass and forage
with which to finish them.
The aim in feeding poultry in the
winter is to give variety and come as
lear to meeting summer conditions
as possible. Therefore, providing Of
green food of some sort for winter
feed should not be overlooked,
Unfortunately we have as yet dis
covered no royal road to success in
weed-killing. Work and tillage is
what we must look to for getting rid
of weed pests. Lime will not kill them,
neither will salt applied in doses that
will not iniure crops also.
The present methods Of feeding
hogs with good, wholesome grain and
clean pasturage certainly produces as
healthy a character of meat as any
animal can produce since that which
is eaten governs the resulting produce
ton.
--To-day's prosperous farmer is not
he who only raises grain TO the full
capacity of his land during any sea-
son. but is the farmer who turns his
grain into meats of various kinds, ac-
corindg to his tastes and the wants Of
the market.
True grasses furnish the bulk Of
the hay crop and the greater part of
the pastures; the cultivation of clovers,
COW peas and other leguminous plants
is an essential part of all successful
farming, as they have a marked eff
feet in fertilizing and preparing the
soil for future crops.

Things of the Past.

The e%nchantment of distance prompts
us to exalt and adore those who made
the past ages illustrious. The element
of envy, which is the viper In our hearts,
is latent when we are considering the
oratory of Webster, the genius Of Shake
speare, the art of Angelo. Possibly In
the unnumbered years to come men will
place some Of our contemporaries upon
the pinnacle OF fame, Few men are fully
appreciated in their own time, We may
have as wise men as Solomon, as strong
as Samson, as patient as Job, but we do
not appreciate them, We know that we
have as easily tempted men as Adam,
and better sailors than Noah, but they
are the men of to-day, and the things Of
to-day are always commonplace when
compared with the things of antiquity.
We scatter our flowers always upon thu
bier of the past,-From Vest Pocket

Farmers will have their own views
and practices how to apply the manure.
Circumstances and conditions will
make more or less difference. A farmer
should study the matter carefully and,
by experimenting on his own land, try
to find the best methods.
Both methods OF blowing manure
under and surface application are
practiced, and each will have its adj
yantages. Coarse. strawy manure
should produce the best results by
blowing under, as 1t is difficult in
cooperating it with the surface soil TO
any satisfactory degree by narrowing.
Turned under it will be out of the way
Of cultivation and decay, and furnish
food for the roots of the plants as they
extend downward.
1t will also serve to tighten the soil
and furnish vegetable matter, which is
of Importance. The writer used 10
have an idea that surface manuring,
at least on his own land, was altogeth-
er the best, but later developments
rather indicate that blowing the ma
mure under has its advantages, and is
to he preferred.
OF course, soils seasons and depth
of blowing will have some influence
or effect in the matter, and one should
not be so decided in his opinions and
practices that he will not be willing
to make a change when Indications
point to an improvement in so doing.
Then, in conclusion. do all possible
of the blowing in the fall, do it in The
best manner and carefully apply all
of the manure available in the man
ner calculated to do the most good

The Duchess Cecile, Of Mecklenburg-

Germany is TO marry, has been brought
up in many respects after the fashion Of
the German housewife. She is prof.
cient in all domestic duties, and said to
be a Grst-class cook.
The little prince Of Piedmont, unlike
his sisters. Priucesscs Yolanda and Ma

Queen Helene reluctantly gave the other
children up to the nurse, but when the

rived she absolutely refused to let any
other than herself give him nourish-
ment.
King Leopold, Of Belgium, has ap-
pointed Henry Gabriels, bishop of the
Catholic diocese OF Ogdensburg, an Off
Ger Of the Royal order of Leopolds,
which was founded by the first king OF
Belgium. This honor recognizes the
labors of Bishop Gabriels in his writ

Belgium and the services frequently ex-
tended by him to emigrants from Bel
GUM to this country.
Lord Charles Beresford, the comman-
der in-chief Of the Channel fleet, is as
popular in political circles as he is in
the navy. In the house Of commons his
speeches were always invariably good
humored, and marked with sound COM

Charles created a roar Of laughter by
explaining how he would deal with cap
tured slave traders. I'd give these men
a fair trial, Mir. Speaker, said he, and
then Id hang them!"

Now, ever as a stately and dignitied
duchess, she loves to sing these old bal
lads and the more modern coon songs
for the entertainment Of her friends,
and she has made the melodies so popu-
lar they have become all the rage in the
families Of the nobility. The duchess
of Westminster has taken them up, and
