tleless we believe in the fixed policy
of keeping over the best old sows.
Select those that bring through a
litter of uniform pigs. There is no
question but what the old SOW will
raise more pigs, and raise them bet
ter, than young one. Further
more, by continuing the practice of
breeding from mature sows it will
materially contribute to keeping up
stamina and constitutional vigor.
There is a growing belief among
many swine men that the reduction
in stamina Of certain breeds is not
so much due to the practice Of in
breeding as it is to the mistake Of
continually breeding from young
stock; that is, from young sows and
from young males. Some of our
best breeders have found that by
using mature stock always, and by
imbreeding sensibly they can fix de-
sirable CHARACTERISTICS only in this
way. If anyone would take the time
to examine any good pure bred
swine herd he would find that the
owner believes in the plan of breed
ing from mature animals. While
the man who raises hogs for the
meat market has a radically different
object in view, yet we believe that
the same principles apply and that
the profits in the end will be larger
when the plan Of keeping the old
sows as long as they are able to
raise large and uniform litters is en-
forced.-Hcmestead.

Are You Growing Clover?

The growing of clover is by no
means as general rs it should be
Nitrogen is the most expensive fer
tilizing element, if it has to be pur-
chased in the form of commercial
fertilizers, as it will cost from IA to
l6 cents per pound, 1t is also the
element that is most susceptible to
teaching, and the one that is more
easily wasted than any other plant
food we have. Some years ago
Snyder, Of the Minnesota expert
ment Station, after conducting an OK
pertinent with continuous cropping
to wheat for twelve years, came to
the conclusion that during the
period mentioned there mad been a
loss Of 1850 pounds of nitrogen per
acre. Chemical analysis of the soil
at the beginning of the experiment
showed that there were 1000 pounds
more nitrogen in the surface soil
than there was at the close of the eN-
pertinent twelve years later. The
amount that had been removed in
the crops grown during that period
was calculated at only 45O pounds,
hence the conclusion that 1850
pounds had either been lost through
teaching or other causes.
This emphasizes the Importance
Of growing clover or other legumin-
Gus crops that are capable of taking
up free atmospheric nitrogen and
adding to the total amount Of this
element in the soil. Not only is
clover an exceedingly good fertilizer,
but every farmer knows that it is
a valuable feed, especially SO in the
corn belt where an abundance Of
carbonacious foods in the shape Of
corn and corn fodder and prairie
hay are produced.
Study into this clover problem
and make an effort to secure stand
on your farm. Don't take it for
granted because your neighbor fail
ed to secure stand that you will
also fail. In eastern Iowa the soil
is Of such nature that clover often
freezes out during the early spring,
but it is not the case all over the
state. In spite of the fact that clover
will freeze out in certain sections
effort should still be continued to
secure a stand. Bear in mind that
there will be less danger Of clover
freezing out in the spring if it is
allowed to go into winter quarters
with good coat to protect it from
cold weather in the spring, and from
the hardest freezing weather during
the winter months. Where there is
plenty of forage on the soil, snow
will be collected, and this will act
as blanket in keeping the plants
underneath warm. Farmers Tribune,

The Scented Court.

1.-THE scented court was the name
by which the court of Louis Nv was
known throughout Europe, on account
Of the rage for perfumes which then
prevailed in France. The expenditure
of Nine. de Pompadour for this one
branch of her toilet amounted to $780,
600 annually. 1t became the fashion
for the host or hostess of a great en-
tertainment to signaliZe to their guests
what particular perfume was to be
employed for sccntins their rooms on
the night for which the Invitations
were issued, and they We're expected to
use no other, so that the delicate effect
Of unity of odors might be produced.
At court Il different perfume was pre-
sentcd for each day of the week.

Tropical Skies,

To northern eyes the intense bril-
Eancy of the tropical and scmitropcal
sky comes as Il revelation. Sometimes
ut noon 1t Is painfully dazzling, but the
evening is a vision of prismatic light
holding carnival in the air, wherein
Milton's twilight gray" has no part.
Unless the sky is held in the relentless
grip Of winter storm the orient holds
no gray in its evening tones; these are
translucent and glowing from the set
ting of the sun until the stars appear.
In Greece we are drcamers In that sub
tie atmosphere, and in Egypt vision
aries under the spell of an ethereal
loveliness where the filigree patterning
of white dome and minaret and inter
lacing palm and fcathery pepper tree
leaves little wonder in the mind that
the ornamentation of their architecture
is so ravishing in its tracery.-Cen-

Ksep the old Sow Over.

There will be strong temptation
to market the old SOW this fall on
account of the high price of pork.
Many are Of the opinion that their
hog business is more profitable
when the sows are turned off after
raising a litter or two and the breed
ing stock chosen from the youngsters.
In this way one gets rid of the ex-
pense of feeding the old sows dur
ing the late fall and winter months.
The young ones must be fed fairly
we'll in any event, whether they be
intended for breeding purposes or
for the meat market, and it certainly
is the most economical from the feed
standpoint to let the old sows go
and fill the breeding pens with
young ones.
We do not favor this practice,
however, even under present condi-
tions. Of course there will bs plenty
of sows in the corn belt this fall that
are worth $25 or $50 each for meat,
and where fifteen or twenty old sows
are kept over it is true that some
capital is tied up in them. Never

An Ancient Dog story.

A delightful dog story has been ex-
humed from the misty past and is now
preserved in the records of an old
court at Southampton, England. 1t
dates from 1887 and must be told In

"Item we present vt at the tyne of our

Revival of the sunbonnet.
(St. Louis Globe. .Democrat.l

1t should be with great rejoicings
that a too extravagant world well
comes back the sunbonnet, which is
said to be coming in style again.
That fetching headgear of a simpler
time coming to us now seems to
argue the revival of manners and
customs that are dear to the older
generations and that were credit
to the race. The sunbonnet CORE
lates walks in the sun and neighbor-
ly visits through back yards on
sultry afternoons. It means less of
formality and more friendliness.
Also less expense to the heads of
houses. The revival of sunbonnet
bespeaks return on the part of our
sisters to proper ideas of headcover-
ing, to the idea that hat is to be
worn rather as a protection against
the elements than as something pure
ly decorative.

Milk Fed Kid.

er merchant. 1T is very soft and fine
and pli9ble, isn't it?"
He smoothed the delicate white skin
and went OH:
"All first rate kid is milk fed. 1t comes
to us from the French mountaincers.
These men are superb goatherds Their
immense flocks supply the worlds kid
gloves. The soatherls of France are
careful. to keep their kids on an ex-
elusive milk diet. They pen the little
animals with their mothers in rocky
Enclosures, where there is no grass. At
that the kids often escape, often man
age to eat solid food, for, With almost
human perversity. kids that shouldn't
be weaned wean themselves early,
whereas calves that should be weaned
cling like grim death to milk. One
meal Of grass will spoil kids skin,
will rob it Of its softness and pliability,
will harden and coarsen and stiffen it;
hence, when you buy kid gloves always
choose the milk fed kind."-Cincnnati

Picking Way Across a Mountain.

A"e " why <Acrohs u NAOuuthihs
Picking a way is good fun. You must
first scout ahead in general Then you
determine more carefully just where
each hoof is to fall. For instance, it is
a question of whether you are to go
above or below a certain ledge. You
decide on going below because thus
you will dodge little climb and also
a rather slippery looking rock slide.
But on Investigation You find, hidden
by the bushes, Il rivcn bowlder. There is
no way around it. So then retracc your
steps to the place where you made
your first choice. The upper route
again offers you an alternative. You
select one: it turns out well; forks
again. But you discover both these
forks utterly impracticable. So back
you must hike to the very beginning
to discover, If you can, perhaps third
and heretofore unconsidcrcd chance.
Then, II none are good, you must cast
In review the features of all your little
explorations in order to determine
which best lends itself to eXpedients.
This consumes time, but it is great fun.

The Name Tuxedo,

The Tuxedo coat got its name from
the fashionable colony at Tuxedo, and
the original name of the place was
Duck Cedar. Lots of the old natives
still call it Duck Cedar George Tida-
bcch, one of the original settlers Of the
country, named the place. The lake
was then much smaller than it is now
and was simply known as the fish
pond. One day old Tidabech and his
sons had gone there to shoot game.
The ducks We're very PLENTIFUL; numer-
Gus cedar trees We're growing out Of
the rocks along the shore.
Let us give this place a NAME" said
the old man. LET us call 1t Duck
Cedar"
So Duck Cedar it was and continued
to be for many years until the name
was changed to Tuxedo.

The Mistakes of the Iowa Congressman
(rrom the Des Moines News.)

Politics is funny game. Some
times when it is his move a player
goes stone blind.
For instance
Governor Cummins, after one of
the most strenuous campaigns in the
history of the republican party of
Iowa won majority of the delegates
to the republican state convention.
Acquiescence in the popular ver-
dict was the smart thing for the
federal crowd" The Washington
contingent realized that, but it was
slow--almost too slow-to declare
itself.
The congressman let matters go
until Cummins finally got them into
a corner and licked the whole bunch.
The surrender came when the
delegation sent word yesterday to
the central committee that it would
no longer stand for the "fake con-
tests"
1t is better late than never, but il
was too late to make any claim for
courtesy or to pile up any prestige
for fairness.
Here were men whose political
life was at stake permitting a bluff
to go on when they knew the bluff
would be called. At the bidding of
a few local hot-heads they held their
peace until it was almost too late to
speak at all. Finally the ides Of
November loomed large on their
horizon and they found their voices
Do the Iowa congressman realize
what a hole they have been put into!
They came to Des Moines and their
friends boasted Of how they had
helped Roosevelt pass the rate bill
ETC., giving opportunity for Mr.
Cummin's friends to point to the
fact that the congressman had only
obeyed public opinion in Iowa and
that Mr.. Cummins had made that
public opinion. In not only this
way, but in many ways, they put
themselves on the defensive and
made themselves objects of criticism.
The federal crowd lost a lap.
And Cummins gained one.

Tama Jim Likes Iowa Girls.

Washington is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world" re-
sponded Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. "It is already the heart OF
the nations politics and the scientif-
ic center, and it is rapidly getting
to be the social center, also.
"But the women here need to go
to Iowa. They are the prettiest
creatures in the world already, ex-
cept the western girls, but they
need year in Iowa to improve their
figures a I'd their complications. They
need to be able to jump on a horse
AID race around a big farm, getting
some good air into their lungs and
some color into their cheeks"
why most women think they al
ready are very pretty" l protested.
"'They are pretty, but they might
be prettier. An old man, you know,
has to tell the truth"
can old man should have learned
to tell it more automatically"
"Not me-" declared Mr.. Wilson.
II am in charge of Uncle SANS
agriculture not his state depart
ment.'
"Well, if you don't like Washing
ton girls, then you are very hard to
please"
Pm not too hard to please in
womenfolk. l like girl who can
ride horse, no matter how hard he
kicks; then when it comes dinner
time she must gallop up to the house,
hop off, tie the horse so he won't get
away, and go in to see that dinner is
ready and things in order for the
homecoming of the men. If she is
a farmers daughter she ought to be
able TO climb upon reaper and run
it like q man"
With which modest demand Sec
retary Wilson leaned back reflective,
ly.
"And I suppose she must have all
the drawing room accomplishments
too?"
"oh yes, she must be able to play
the piano. and paint, and she must
have had a college education"
"You won't find her." / said, with
conviction. But Secretary Wilson
only smiled enigmatically.
"Were you ever in Iowa? he de-
manded: "You weren't? Then you
don't know anything at all about it.
We have women like that in Iowa.

ain ut the time of the rule Of the
Danes, before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded III driving them from the

Englishmcn by the Danes, it became
custom to enter into compacts for the
mutual preservation of health and Sc
curity. These compacts were usually

There's one with rlnglets OF u.ny gold,
Aud eyes the rellec ion OF heavens own blue;
She crossed In the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid her from mott Il view;
We saw not the angels that mt her there,

And fearlessy entered the phantom bark;
We watched 1t glide from the silver sands.
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark,
We know she is safe on the farther side,
Where oil the ransOmed angsls be;
over the river. the mystic river.
My childhOOd's angel Is waiting for me.
For none return from those spirit shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars.
And catch CLEAN OF the snowy sail;

Tney cross the streams and are gone for aye /;

That hides from our visions the gates Of day.

May sail with us o'er lfe's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere. l know, on the unseen shore
They watch and be:kon and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,

And list for the s!und Of the b0atman's oar;
And when perChance the well-known hail
Again shall echo along the strand,
