Good Tonics For Swine.

In one Of its bulletins the Arkan-
sas station says that it is necessary
TO keep accessible to hogs some
material that supplies lime and salt
to aid in BODYBUILDING, as an appe-
tizer, and to remove intestinal para
sites. This mixture should be kept
in a strong box protected from rain,
and the quantity and frequency with
which pigs will visit and eat of the
mixture will often be surprising. The
following is the mixture that was
used: Charcoal, one and one-half
bushels; common salt, four pounds;
hard wood ashes, ten pounds;
Stacked lime, four pounds; fresh
water, shade in summer, grain food
when on grass, and dry bed free
from dust; shelter in winter, and
when confined an area sufficiently
large so that it will not become foul
with droppings and mud bugs. These
are essentials for successful hog
raising.

Use Of Coal Ashes.

While coal ashes contain no fe .
tilizing value they are certainly use
full on the farm and should be saved.
They are not entirely valueless il
the soil, for they will materially as
sist in making stiff clay soil more
workable If well mixed with 1t. The
best use for coal ashes, however, is
in the filling in of wet spots, sitting
them and using the fine ashes in the
dust boxes in the poultry houses and
the coarser portions for the making
of walks alone or mixed with gravel.
They may be used to advantage as
a mulch around trees mainly for the
purpose Of keeping the soil moist
and keeping the gras- from growing
around them.

The Difference in Hogs.

At one of the western Institutes
a speaker, in dwelling upon the SUBJ
ject of how little difference there
was in the breeds Of hogS nowadays,
said: $50 many people want to know
what is the best breed of hogs.
There is no quarrel now upon this
subject because when the hog is
dead and the head and ears are
taken off, you can hardly tell one
breed from another. There is really
little difference between better
known pure bred hogs, but there Is
a great difference between the pure
bred hogs and the razorback. Do
not make friends with the razor
back"

Good Colors For Houses.

It Is not generally known-not
even among painters-why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge Of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem TO.
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays OF the
sun will protect house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red Is a good color because
it turns back, or reflects. the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot,
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are.
poor, 80 far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color Of paint for
your house, select reds, browns,
grays and olives which, considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such az cold
yellows (like lemon), cold green's
(like grass green, etc., and the.
blues.
It must be understood that no vir-
tue Is claimed for tints in themselves.
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale of, If aduterated
white lead or canned paint is> used.
but If one Is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
Of reliable manufactnrer-andg gen-
uine linseed oil, the warm tints mem
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold ;colors.

Dirty Dairy Conditions in Winter.

In addressing the members Of the
Vermont Dairymen's Association. j.
T. Conmern in speaking upon the
filthy conditions under which COWS
are kept during winter upon some
farms, said that very few of the
barns are provided with any means
for ventilation, and consequently the
air is impure, especially during the
cold winter months. The cows
quarters are not kept clean, or, at
least, not as clean as they should be.
During the winter months, when the
COWS of necessity must be kept in the
barn, many farmers pay little at
tention to keeping them clean, which
results in a condition of affairs bet
ter imagined than expressed in
words. The manure is often piled
n such places and in such quantities
that the inevitable results is the
contamination Of the air in the
cows quarters. The barn yards are
often quaking quagmires that can.
not be crossed unless one wears high
rubber boots or is on raft.

Vines in the BARNARD.

The barn should never be LGilt
hear the house, and wherever it is,
it should be kept as sanitary as the
house itself. A country barnyard
should be as neat and tidy as the
dooryard. There is no reason why
vines should not grow over the walls
and fences, and trees shade the in
closed animals. 1T is possible to have
lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn as freely as about
the shrubbery. The animals are not
any less happy, and one can pick
great punches for oneself and
friends.

will stand any amount OF pruning
except wistaria which does best II
allowed to grow year after year
without pruning.
The commonest mistake in prun-
ing vines is 70 allow them to grow
for five or six years without any
pruning whatsoever. This is why
you see on porches everywhere vines
that are top-heavy, i. e., which have
mass of foliage at the top and
scarcely any at the base. This is,
of course, absurd, for the purpose
of growing vines is to screen IN
slightly buildings and it also has the
disadvantage on porch Of furnish
ing a hiding place for mosquitoes
and of littering the porch with leaves
which fall before their time.
If. vines are headed back from
one to four feet every year from the
second to the eighth year, it should
be entirely unnecessary to sweep the
porch every morning so far as fallen
leaves are concerned. The reason
why these leaves fall in July and
August is that a top-heavy vine Is so
crowded that the sunshine can not
enter the mass of foliage and ripen
the leaves. The vines bear more
leaves than they can ripen and it
is those imperfectly ripened leaves
that fall prematurely.
The next most important points
in vine culture are to determine
whether the vine needs artificial sup
port or not, and, if so, Of what kind;
whether you want a foliage effect
or a Towering effect, how high you
want the vines to grow. and whether
there is any danger of damaging
your property in any way.
For example, ampelosis requires
no support on any surface whatever.
1t will grow hundred feet high,
but it's flowers are inconspicuous,
and since one usually wants color
on the porch it is not so good for
veranda as a Towering vine which
does not grow so tall.
Moreover, any vine that grows
twenty feet high or more may cause
some trouble If it is grown directly
on a frame house. You may want
to remove the vines in order to paint
the house. You can do this easily
with any vine that requires artii-
cial support, but it is impossible or
difficult with anything that is self
supporting like ampelopsis.-In-

The value of vegetables depends

crops are not growing we'll some
quick-acting fertilizer like nitrate OF
soda, guano or poultry droppings,
should be worked into the soil close

of the soil with the cultivator, rake

UNREST OF MAN OUR UNDOING.
President Butler Decries the Deca.
dc1ce of Nations Moral Standard.

dc1ce of Nations Moral Standard.
Serious consideration of the pres
ent-day spirit Of unrest in politics
and business marked the address of
President Nicholas Murray Butler at
the one hundred and ffty-second an
nual commencement of Columbia
University.
President Buffers address was
brief. He began by saying that Abra-
ham Lincoln furnishes a good exam
pie for persons to-day, owing to the
fact that Lincoln remained tranquil
amid angry SEAS" He then said that
there is much dissatisfaction with
modern social and political formulas.
Continuing, he said:
THAT this unrest has been and is
being used by ambitious men for
their own selfish ends and for gain
by journalistic builders of emotional
bonfires is certainly true, but it will
not do to dismiss this spirit Of unrest
with a sneer on that account.
1T has passed far beyond the
bounds Of the dreamers and vision
aries, the violent-minded ard the
naturally destructive. Men accus-
toned to honest reflection and them
selves possessed of sincerity, always
the sheet-anchor of conservatism,
have come under it's influence. Poll
cies that not long ago were dismissed
as too extreme for serious discussion
are Tow soberly examined with refer
.ence to their immediate practicable
ity. What has brought about this
change?
can answer is not far to seek. An
increasing number of men have come
to distrust the capacity of society as
now organized to protect itself
against the freebooters vino exist in
it. ...
AN increasing number Of men be-
lieve and assert that law and Justice
are powerless before greed and Gun
ming, and they are the more ready
to listen to advocacy Of any measure
or policy, however novel or revolu-
tionary, that promises relief. Their
naginations, too, cannot help being
affected by the appalling sight, so
often called to our attention Of late,
Of that moral morgue wherein are ex-
posed the shrivelled souls and ruined
regulations Of those who have lost IN
the neyer-ending struggle between
selfshness and service that goes on in
the human breast.
President Butler said that "greed
for gain holds an appalling number
of men in it's grasp" and that great
wealth and opportunities have caused
a loosening Of the old ideals Of con-
duct and business. In conclusion be
said:
1T is our own individual charac-
ters that are at fault, and not the in
stitutions whose upbuilding Is the
work Of the ages. Sound and upright
individual human characters will up
lift society far more speedily and
surely than any constitutional or leg
islative nostrum, or the following of
any economic or philosophical will-o'-
the-wisp. Unethical acts precede ille-
gal ones, and speedily lead to them.
Given an acute perception of the
difference between right and wrong,
a clear conception Of duty, and an
appreciation of the solemn obliga-
tions of a trust, our social and polit-
ical system would, perhaps, be found
to work equitably and we'll. Without
these traits no system is workable.
Moral regeneration, not political and
economic reconstruction, is what We
chiefly need"
