Tom Hood, of course, lived in Lon
don, England, and there November is
all that he paints it, as it sometimes is
here
But there is a cheerier side to the
dreary month. as Charley Bliss, the
Shoel Greek poet of passion. describes
it as he mikes the gay with the gray,
as follows:
The flies are frozen stiff and stark.
no more we hear the meadow lark, i'm
patiently the coon dogs bark and chase
the possum through the dark. The
cider in the cellar works, the rabbit in
the stubble turks the quails hide in the
deep ravines. and dogs and guns dis
turb their dreams. The Gamma bulbs are
put away, the cattle turn from grass to
hay; before it's light the housewife
wakes and stirs the toothsome buck
wheat cakes. The turkeys as they take
on fat Will soon not know where they
are at; their brief career ere long will
close, and in our stomachs they'll re-
pose. The farmer in the early morn
now hurries out to husk his corn: the
frost shines white upon the fence, but
corn is bringing 80 cents; and for the
frost he little keers as rapidly he pIucks
the ears"
There is one thing about November
that makes its coming not unwelcome
and dispels some of the gloom that ac.
companies the falling of the year into
the scar and yellow leaf, and that is
that we can see through its mists the
promise and the hope of the approach

Proper Treatment Of Burns.


From the London Hospital
In cases of burns death may
be due first to asphyxia; second
ly, to shock and, thirdly, to sep
ticaemia.
The medical man seldom gets
to the case in time to treat the
first condition; the second is es-
sentially general condition,
while the whole success in pre-
venting the third depends upon
the immediate local treatment.
1t is therefore the last condition
which must be considered here
Among the public it is a generally
accepted idea that the thing to
do in case of a burn is dust flour
over it or to cover it with oil
and, indeed, even in some com.
paratively late text books on
surgery mixture known as
"Oarron oil" is advocated.
The use of such applications
cannot be too strongly deprecat
ed, and indeed, if the lay mind
could be taught that the besl
thing to put on burn before the
doctor is called is hot compress
which should contain some bo
racic acid, if there is any in the
house, it is probable that he ma

more than one tenth as much
now on the land. So our advice is
to go on working the land just as
though no nut grass were on it..
lf you will cultivate well and
throughout the whole season, not
allowing any to get large enough
to reproduce you can kill it out;
and so far as we know, this is
the only practicable method.
Covering the land with salt will
kill it, but this is only practical
on small spot of ground.

Hog Notes.

Among hogs as rule the male
is coarser than the female.
Cleanliness with plenty of ex-
ercise is the great safeguard to
health.
1t is best for health to have
feeding and sleeping quarters
separate.
To feed too much corn to grow
ing pigs means to check their de-
velopment.
At farrowing if the SOW and
her surroundings are in proper
shape it is best to leave her en-
tirely alone.
Selling pork carries off less of
the valuable constituents of the
soil than beef.
Generous treatment of the
brood sows always pays in the
increased thriftiness of the pigs.
To make the most rapid gain
pigs should be fed grain even
when on the best of pasture.
Putting sweet skim milk In a
trough where the little pigs can
get it is a good way 10 learn then
10 eat.
With pigs good stare secured
while they are young will make
it much easier matter to keep
them growing.
After once being put on full
feed, care should be taken to see
that the fattening hogs have all
that they will eat up clean at
each meal.
Under all circumstances hogs
need a variety of food to keep up
keen appetite and keep them
in healthy, thrifty condition.
AS much as breeding and grow

Young pigs should commence
to grow as soon as they commence

young to eat themselves ibe most
economical plan of feeding them
is to feed the sows.
