Why Spring Pigs Die.

The cold rains of early spring kill
off many growing pigs because of the
lack of shelter and the care and feed
Of the SOW. Professor Henry, of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station, in his
Feeds and Feeding" tells the farm
er how to manage the sows and pigs,
and If his instructions are followed
very little loss will ever occur.
Professor Henry does not agree
with some breeders who hold that no
corn should be fed. He says some
corn may be used, but that meals
rich in protein oats, peas, mid
dlings, barley-should supply most
of the nourishment.
Feed for the SOW before narrowing
should be nutritious, but not concen-
trated, and roots, chaffed clover or
alfalfa hay, softened with boiling
water, are all highly recommended.
! Good flesh is not to be denied I'M
der proper conditions and regulations
as to character of feed and amount
of exercise. The question of exer-
else is an important one. In summer
sows as rule will get all the exer-
else needed by the use of pasture, but
in winter it is often necessary to
drive them about large lot or up
and down a lane for a time every
day.
Litter or straw thrown in the yard
through which is scattered waste
grain will stimulate the SOW to exer-
else in searching for feed, but some
means should be used to prevent the
SOW from lying idle and taking on
too much soft flesh.
The feed just before narrowing
time should be sloppy and limited in
quantity, and most breeders agree
that the SOW should be fed nothing
for twenty-four hours after farrow-
ing. For two or three days only a
limited quantity of feed should be
given.

The increasing demand for good
horses has awakened fresh interest
among breeders who have good dams.
The Drovers' Journal, in referring to
the increasing demands in the Chi
cago markets, says a survey Of the
horse conditions presents an inviting
field for intelligent breeders. De-
mand for all classes of horses for in
dustrial and commercial use was
never so broad or prices so remuner-
alive. The fact that farmers have
been slow to grasp the situation finds
the supply hardly adequate to meet
the increasing demand. The outlook
justifies continued high prices until
the surplus assumes proportions to
resume expectation of horses in large
volume again. The supply can only
be increased by enlarging breeding
operations, which under the most
favorable regime, will require half a
decade to produce a reasonably large
surplus. The fact that the supply of
horses is short should not lead to
haphazard breeding. Profits in the
horse industry will depend on the
quality of the horses produced. The
best mares should be selected for the
harem and the choicest stations of
all breeds of horses patronized. The
stream cannot rise above the foun-
tain, and the progeny of sire and
dam will inherit the characteristics
of their ancestors. The opportunity
for large profits in the horse indus
try was never more promising to the
careful breeder that will produce
good commercial offerings of all
classes.

Thanks to the perseverance of
number of prospecting youngsters,
residents of Haddington and Over
brook may now have daily suppers of
choice frogs legs. A veritable mine
Of frogs was discovered a week ago
by members of a juvenile baseball
team who were playing near Sixty
third and Market streets. A fly ball
was knocked into a ditch, and the
fielders who chased it found fully
two dozen frogs holding a convention
on the shore of the little stream. The
game was stopped and the boys got
busy in the ditch with their bats.
More than half hundred frogs were
captured in the first raid. They
we're made ready for the market by
the youngsters, who had little trouble
in sslling them at fifty cents a dozen.
Since the discovery the boys have
been prospecting daily, and hundreds
of frogs have been gathered in dur.
ing the last few days. Unfortunately
for the discoveries, the news has
spread, and now the frog fields have
been invaded by so many youngsters
that the price has been cut down.

Grinding Corn For Hogs.

Among recent reports received by
the Department of Agriculture from
the experiment stations is one from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
For the past nine years the station
has been conducting tests to deter
mine whether grinding corn for hogs
is desirable.
The results have varied a little
from year to year, but considering
the average of all the tests 1T hogs
fed dry shelled corn and wheat mid
dlings make an average gain of 96.8
pounds each, while an equal number
fed cornmeal and wheat middlings
required per pound OF gan" III '1n5
two cases being 5.19 pounds and 4.S8
pounds. In other words, for each
pound or gain the hogs fed shelled
corn required O.3 pound more gain
than those fed the cornmeal. The
saving from grinding, therefore, has
amounted to 81 per cent. For in
stance: When corn is worth only
twenty-five cents per bushel the saw
ing from grinding amounts to only
IA cents, not enough to pay for the
grinding, unless cheap power is
available. AS corn advances in price
it will be noticed that the saving per
bushel increases practically three
tenths of a cent with each five cents
advance in the price of corn. Should
the price of corn be as high as sew
enty-five cents per bushel the saving
by grinding would amount to little
over four cents per bushel.

farmer has a fine shepherd dog that

by catching fish in several small

enabled to see the fish because of the
clear water that flows in the streams
He waits on the bank until "a fish
draws near the surface and then with
a leap and a dive into the stream
grabs the finny quarry before it has
time to swim away
The dog has made such a name for
himself that many persons drive to the

FARM AND HOME.
Cottonseed Meal and Butter.

Close observation OF the quality OF
the butter made from feeding cows a
ration consisting of cottonseed meal
and corn sllage showed that, contrary
to general belief, the butter possessed
n good grain and body and was in all
respects entirely satisfactory where
the churning conditions were normal,
says a South Carolina experiment sta
tion report. 1t may be added, says
the National Provisioner, that our
experience during the past two years
convinces us that, during the warm
season butter produced from a ration
containing cottonseed meal is more
satisfactory than that produced from
concentrates that yield a relatively
soft butterfat. The cottonseed meal
butter "sets up" better at the table.
Bran butter showed 92.2 degrees as
the melting point; cottonseed meal
butter, $50 degrees; linseed meal,
91,5 degrees.

No Place for Burglar.

With every big robbery reported

come to the front with the boast that,

facturer the other day, were attribut-

lection to the thief Finally, in order

sary piece of furniture we decided to
build 1t so low that not even an infant
can crawl under it, thereby COM

Man..

A mans life is full of crosses and
temptations.
He comes into this world without
his consent, and goes out against his
will, and the trip between the two is
exceedingly rocky. The rule of the
contraries is one of the important
features of the trip.
When he is little, the big girls
kiss him; but when he is grown, the
little girls kiss him.
If he is poor, he is bad manager;
if he is rich, he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get it;
If he's out of politics, you can't place
him, and he's no good for his coun-
try.
If he doesn't give to charity, he is
stingy cuss; If he does, 1t is for
show.
If he is actively religious, he is a
hypocrite; if he takes no interest in
religion, he is a hardened sinner.
If he shows affection, he is soft
specimen; If he seems to care for
no one, he is cold-blooded.
II he dies young, there was a great
future ahead of him; if he lives to
an old age, he has missed his calling.
The road is rocky, but man loves
to travel it.-Life.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA

nothing but yellow, greenish sore. One
morning we discovered little yellow PIN

that we had better take her to some eye
specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he
said the eyesight was gone. We were near
ly discouraged, but thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so purchased
set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me
81, and in three days our daughter, who
had been sick about eight months, showed
great improvement, and in one week all
sores had disappeared. Of course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time, we are confident it would
have saved the eye. Mrs. Frank Abbott,

New Gloves.

A new idea in long gloves is to
have the hand of kid and arm of silk
or lace or vice versa. The effect is
rather quaint, especially if the lace
on the arm be fine meshed, but when
the hand is of silk or lace and the
arm of suede or glace kid the en-
semble is good and tends to make
the hand appear smaller. The de-
mand for black gloves is on the in
crease. Black for gown or hat is
increasing all the time. Not to say,
of course, that all madame's or
mademoiselle's best frocks will be in
black, but a large portion Of them
will be, or else colored ones gener-
ously touched with black.
