COwpeas for Hogs.

Those living where they can success
fully grow the eowpea should utilize
this valuable crop as n cheap ration
.or pigs. The pea is rich In protein and
furnishes the needed growth, and does
away with the necessity of millstuff.
Drill three or four pecks Of seed per
acre the latter part of May or the first
part Of June, and give the needed cult
walton till the vines cover the ground
enough to check weed growth. Turn
the pigs into the field when the pods
begin to ripen, and they will do the
harvesting. If the old hogs are pas
tured on peas, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to give proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs Try a patch Of cow
pea pasture this year, and get your
hogs in fine shape for the corn when
It comes.

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was o revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public parallel fact; that
thd S&maCS is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as well as in 1t. We

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
Alcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles Of
medicine. They are sure because nothing
goes into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted 10 the purposes for
which a plaster is required They are
speedy in their action because their medi-
cinai qualities go right to their work of
relieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance of the functions
of muscles. nerves and skin.

New Meat Law Working Well

In addressing the convention of the
New York State Breeders Association
upon the new meat inspection law and
its bearing upon the production and
handling Of meats, George Z. McCabe,
solicitor Of the department Of agrlcul-
ture at Washington, said the law APP
peared to be working well and was
serving as a guarantee Of the health
fulness, purity and wholesomeness OF
our live stock and meats In the mar
kets of the world. He declared that,
to secure the best results, breeders OF
every state should take up vigorously
the question Of the extension Of mar
kets and should back the department
Of agriculture in an insistent demand
for an absolute efficient, vlgilant, fair
and square meat inspection.

was IL per cent, while on fifty trees
representing the same number of varie7
ties that were not sprayed the average
percentage Of clean fruit was per

average of 80 per cent clean fruit,
showing the evident superiority of the
liquid Bordeaux for the prevention Of
