FREDERICK VIII.

FREDERICK VIII. grammar ScnOol,
for not until he was 10 years old was
the difficult question of his fathers
succession to the Danish throne finally
settled.
II was Frederick's curious fate to
see his younger brother and his own
son become reigning monarchs of
Greece and Norway respectively,
while he himself was still an heir-ap-
parent.
The new queen, Louise, is reputed
to be the tallest and richest princess
in Europe. She is a handsome wom-
nm, of the blonde type. and reflects the
beauty of her famous grandmother

ter, who captured Bonaparte and mar
ried Marshal Bernadotte, who subse-
quently became king. of Sweden and
Norway.
The queen inherited large fortunes
both from Prince Frederick of the
Netherlands and Prince Charles Of
Sweden. Nevertheless, she and her
husband have adhered to the simplicity
characteristic of the Danish court,

Rural TeIephoner.

Don't travel, telephone" is a good
motto for these strenuous days. The
rural telephone Is a money saving, time
saving and travel saving addition to
the farm. 1t is as valuable as any
other labor saving machine. 1t costs
time, money and horse flesh to run err
rands IL TIE country. 1t is much more
expensive than it is in town. In the
middle and northern States there are
about two hundred good outdoor work
ing days in the year. Men are scarce,
labor is expensive, and farmers time
is especially valuable during the sum-
mer season. Recent Improvements In
telephones have removed the last OBJ
lection to their use, and the cost Is so
little that no farmer can afford to do
without one.
In addition to its value In business
way it brings a family in close touch
with town and with the neighbors. 1t
puts the farmer next door to everybody
and the social intercourse which fol-
lows is a strong factor in promoting
contentment, especially with the young
er members Of the family. As a pro-
lection against tramps it is the finest
institution ever invented, because the
farmers family with the phone in the
house Is not isolated, but may call in
stantly for help or use the phone to
warn near neighbors of the approach
of these unpleasant visitors.
The farmer can do more business
with the phone in half an hour than
he can do in the ordinary course Of
travel IN the country in two or three
days. When once installed in farm
house they are very seldom taken out
This alone Is sufficient proof of their
value In these days of progress farm-
ers must keep abreast of the times
1t Is only by doing business quickly
and in a business way that farmer
can hope to meet with the measure OF
succe,s that an enterprising man de-
serves-Farm and Firesida.

One of the main causes of lack Of
eggs during the winter, assuming that
the. fowls have a comfortable and dry
house, is overlooking, and another is
lack of exercise. 1t is surprising how
much more a hen will eat than she
ought If given an opportunity, and
how little inclined she is to exercise
if she can obtain all of her needs In
the way of food from the troughs.
Every once in a while we try the plan
Of placing the hens on rather short
rations, and making them hustle for

Rations for Growing pigs.


An inquirer asks what is the most
profitable feed for pigs during the win
ter season, the feeds available for his
use being corn at 80 cents per bushel,
chopped stuff and shorts at $1.10 per
hundred and rye at Go cents per bushel.
He is at present feeding n straight ra-
ton of corn and asks for arguments in
favor of balancing his ration with the
feeds mentioned.
This man will find 1t impossible. says
Professor Van Pelt in reply, to mako n
balanced ration for growing pigs by
combining the feedstuffs mentioned,
because no one of them contains a
large enough proportion of protein to
balance the carbohydrates found in the
others. Assuming the rye is grown on
the farm, it would be advisable to sub
stitute some other feedstuff in place Of
shorts, to supply the protein. l would
suggest the following ration: Ten parts
corn, two parts rye, one part tankage.
1t will be found that the above ration
will not only produce greater, more
economical gains and the general
health and thrift of the pigs will be
more vigorous than when corn alone is
fed. Tankage guaranteed to contain 80
per cent protein can be purchased from
any of the leading packers, If ordered
exclusively for feeding purposes, and
will well repay Its purchase.

Care OF Dairy Utensils.


The great development of the use Of
hand separators on the farm, accom-
panied by sale of cream instead of milk
to the creameries, has added another
difficulty to the production of good
creamery butter, IN that many farmers
do not care for their separators prop
erly. This leads to the delivery of
contaminated cream by some Of the
patrons by means of which the entire
product is injured In quality. Bulletin
