MEANING OF MoLES.

On the right side of the upper lip . mole promises great good fortune to both sexes.
 mole on the neck, in man or wom- an, promises long and happy life, wealth and fame.
 A science, or pseudo-science, of moles has existed among the Pennsyl- yania Dutch for many years.
 A man with mole in the middle of his forehead has cruel mind; a wom- an with such a mole is foolish, idle and enyious.
 A man with mole on the left side of the upper lip rarely marries, and such mole in the case of a woman denotes suffering.
 A mole on the right side O. a mans forehead denotes wonderful lrck; on the right side of woman's forehead, gifts from the dead
 On the left side of mans forehead a mole denotes a long term in prison; on the left side of woman's forehead, two husbands, and a life of exile.
 According to this science, no one is without mole or two, and these are some of the approximations that mole-wearers may draw from their brown ornaments:

The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvellous results among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 ssAbout nine months ago was great suf- ferer with female trouble, which caused me severe pain, extreme nervousness and ire ouent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve me. l tried Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of it was entirely cured. therefore heartily recommend your Compound as a splendid female tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain; and what a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend it to all suffering women."- Mrs Sara Wilson, 3l East Sd Street, Cincin- nati, Ohio.

that better gains at a greater profit

a feed rich in protein. Skim milk fed

Variety in feeding is also needed.
We do not like to be held down to a

not care to live on bread alone. What
we seek is a variety in our daily ra-

early as possible, that is, as early as
the weather will permit.
SiIaqe in Place of Selling

According to the Illinois expert
ment station, pasture will carry
much more stock during spring, early
summer and fall than it will through
the hot dry weather of midsummer
By helping the pasture out at this sea-
son win partial soiling the cattle not
only have better feed during this criti-
cal period, but more stock can be car
ried on given area than by pasturing
alone. AS land increases in value and
farming becomes more intensive, there
is greater need for soiling, and the
most satisfactory method of provid-
ing a substitute is by means of the
silo. 1t requires too much labor to
cut green crops every day and haul
into the COWS, and besides, there is
necessarily a great loss in being obl1g-
ed to feed the crops before they are
fully matured and after they are over
ripe. No crop furnishes more feed to
the acre than corn, and with the silo
it can be utilized for soiling, thus per-
hitting the whole crop to be harvest
ed when at the right stage of maturity
and feed when needed, saving both
feed and labor.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-02-15
The Balanced Ration.

The value of balanced ration lies
in it's use as a guide for the feeder. IL
means the combining of the essential
part of all feeds, viz, protein with
carbohydrates in such proportion as
to meet the demands of the animal
without a loss of protein The nutr1-
tive ratio for example, suitable for
the dairy COW is about 1:6, i. e., to
every one part of digestible protein,
six parts of digestible carbohydrates
are required. By taking table OF
feed standards, showing the percent
age of digestible protein, carbohyd
rates, and fats in feeds together with
a nutritive ratio, suitable for differ
ent animals, it is possible to figure out
a ration from the common feed stuffs
on the farm, thereby securing ration
for stock that will not waste the por-
tein.
The Ranch will gladly furnish any
of it's readers a feeding table upon re-
ceipt of postage This table can be
used for computing economic feed
rations for stock. With such a table
at hand, it will require but a short
time for the feeder to figure out ra-
tons for his stock.
The trouble with many feeders is
that they feed too wide ration, too
much timothy hay, cornstalks and oat
straw and not enough protein. On the
other hand, there is danger OF feeding
too much protein in proportion to car
bohydrates. If the feeder has guide
to help him out, trouble of this kind
may be corrected. The balancing OF
a feed ration is not all. Mixing feeds
and feeding variety must be looked
after. We learned long ago that corn

Willis Worthen, living near Lynden,
Whatcom county, has added to his
flock of turkeys a 80 pound bronze
bird. This is an unusually large one.
The record turkey, so far as Mr.. Wor-
then has seen, was little over 40
pounds. This turkey which he bought
he says, could be increased by 10
pounds if fed for the market or for a
show. The value of turkey of this
size at 25 cents a pound, which is the
price asked last year, runs into a
neat figure.

Farm-Cured Hams.

Most of the ham obtained on the
market today is less satisfactory than
the hams that used to be cured on
most farms in old times and are cured
on few farms today. There seems
little reason why the farmer should
not cure the hams he uses in his own
family, and thus secure finer article,
One way still practiced in parts oil
New England is to hang the ham in
a barrel over the mouth of board
smoke duct which leads to great
hole in which are burned large quaint
ties of cobs. The cobs make good
smoke and if the top of the cavity is
covered the smoke will be forced to
find it's exit through the barrel in
which hang the hams.
Free hides will be opposed by the
combined western farming and stock
raising interests, which see in such
legislation serious reduction in the
market value of the raw material
which they furnish. The demand OF
the New England people for free hides
is an old story. 1t was threshed out
in the ways and means committee
when the Dingley bill was construct
u.
land men seemed likely to carry their
point, but the western people rallied
when they discovered their danger
material was abandoned. The farmers
and the cattle growers of the Miss1s
sippi valley and the far. west never
will consent to permit New England
to get it's raw materials free and at
the same time charge us high protec-
ton prices for it's finished products.
Men who are in touch with the hog
markets of the country say that the
best bacon hog is now being produced
in the northwest part of the United
States and Canada. In these regions
there is not only a scarcity OF corn,
but an abundance of grains rich in
protein. In addition there are NUM-
erous flour mills, and these turn out
great quantities of by-products rich
in protein, which is cheaply obtained
by the feeders. The farmers that han
die these hogs produce kind OF meat
that the people want and for which
they pay. The farmers, however, COM
plain that the market does not dis
criminate as much between bacon and
lard hogs as it should.
Catalogues are out for the first an
nual sale of pure bred horses, cattle,
