When the young pigs have been

for them than this. The potato part

Little pigs are very fond of this food
and one can readily see that it is in
good balance, as the milk and shorts

Sam Small's Hypnotism
Didn't Work.

0IOIs VVoINs
1T HE late Sam Small had his faults,
said an Albanian. but he did not
dodge the penalty of them. When he
went wrong, he owned up like a man,
and If punishment was due, he took it.
"That was the doctrine Sam Small
preached. He hated dodgers. He
used to laugh bitterly at the plea OF
hypnotic influence that used to be
put up by nearly every murderer.
II once heard him ridiculing hyp.
notism. He said that he bought pref,
ty heavily one year for Christmas, and
when the bill came in for turkey and
mince meat, candy. ducks, chickens,
plum pudding, fruit cake and so on
he thought to himself that here was q
case for hypnotism to be tried.
HE went first to hypnotic the
grocer. Approaching the man, he
looked him squarely in the eye, at the
same time repeating. slowly and i'm
pressively:

"A change came over the grocer's
face. His color faded, his eyes grew
dull, his expression blank And in q
strange. mechanical voice he NUT,

Weigh the Milk.

1t pays for every farmer to have &
pair of milk scales in his barn and
weigh his milk. He should buy the
kind that can be hung on the wall
and to which the pail can be hooked
when cow is MIXED. The weighing
takes but minute, and the record Of
it is made on sheet hung on the
wall beside the scales. The amount
of work in whole year is slight, but
at the end of the year the farmer
knows what COWS have given milk to
render them profitable. Also most
farmers will take pleasure in figuring
up from time to time what their cows
are accomplishing in the production
of milk. Some dairymen say ttat the
use of the scales and milk record
greatly increases the interest of the
mixers in the simple act of milking.

Care Of Shock Eodder

Considerable waste Ia present on
most dairy farms every year by i'm
proper treatment and care of the
shock fodder. 1t can be fed almost I'M
der any circumstances without any
loss whatever. An acre of land will
produce with very little expense ten
to 20 tons of sorghum Or corn. Shred.
ded fodder is likewise used extensive
ly in feeding cattle. Corn fodder ia
more subject to waste owing to-. the
hardening Of the fiber in the stalk and
the fact that it can not withstand ex-
posture or bad weather. It is prac-
tically impossible to get the whole
crop of fodder In at the same time and
shredded so it can be packed away In
the bins.
