Pure Water on the Farm.

Absolutely pure water is not to
be found in nature. The amount
and the nature of the impurities
vary widely, depending upon the
source of supply and other condi-
tions. Nor are all of these impur-
tiles harmful in water intended
for domestic use (and very few of
them may be,) but owing to the
fact that water may be the agent
for spreading certain diseases, it is
essential that care be taken to get
a supply that is free from harmful
constituents.
Impurities may either be dis
solved in the water or carried in
suspension by it; and they may be
of animal, vegetable or mineral
origin. Hardness in water is due
to the presence of compounds of
lime or magnesia. Iron may be
present in quantities large enough
to make a water unfit for laundry
purposes.
The greatest danger to which
domestic supply is subject, how
ever, is the possibility of contami-
nation by decaying animal matter
and wastes. Typhoid fever and
other diseases result from such
contamination. 1t is, therefore,
important that any source of sup
ply should be guarded. In those
cases where the water comes
down as rain and is caught upon
roofs, to be carried to cistern, the
first part of the rainfall should be
wasted, as it is full of dirt from
the roof. Brick filters in cisterns
are not SO efficient as they are sup
posed to be.
When the water is drawn from
well and comes up cool, clear and
sparkling, it is very difficult to
convince anyone that it is possible
for anything injurious to be pres
ent; but such is sometimes the
case. No well or spring should be

Simple Home Recipe.

Get from any prescription phar-
macist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take
a teaspoonful dose after each meal
and at bed time.
The above is considered by an
eminent authority, who writes in a
New York daily paper, as the finest
prescription ever written to re-
lieve backache, kidney trouble,
weak bladder and all forms of
urinary troubles. This mixture
acts promptly on the eliminative
tissues of the kidneys, enabling
them to filter and strain the uric
acid aud other waste matter from
the blood which causes rheuma-
tism.
Some persons who suffer with
the Affections may not feel in
clined to place much confidence
in this simple mixture, yet those
who have tried it say the results
are simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slight
est injury to the stomach or other
organs.
Mix some and give it trial.
1t certainly comes highly recon-
mended. 1t is the prescription of
an eminent authority whose entire
reputation, it is said, was estab-
lished by it.
A druggist here at home when
asked, stated that he could either
su pply the ingredients or mix the
prescription for our readers, also
recommends it as harmless.

for cattle, or drive a threshing
machine by electric power. They
may, if they will, even use it to
plough their lands. Or, if the
farmer perfers to use steam power
he may do with it almost equally
marvellous things.
For practically every agricultur-
al purpose there is now labor
saving machine. Farming of the
future is destined to be a very
different thing from that of the
past Much of what the farmer
has hitherto spent in hire of labor
he will give to the purchase of
machinery. He will farm with his
head more than by mere physical
strength. He will make machin-
cry do his work and give him COM
fort and leisure as well as profit.
But in order to do this success
fully he must know much that the
farmer of past days did not know.
He must be familiar with the gen
eral principles of mechanics, and
understand the care of delicate and
expensive machinery. He must
know how to secure the greatest
efficiency from his machines with
| the greatest economy and care.
He must know the points distin-
gushing the best machines of diff
ferent classes and be informed as
to the value of various kinds of
, tools and machines and the econ
omic questions involved in their
purchase under different condi-
tions.
The agricultural experiment sta
tions, by experimentation and pub
lication, must help him to get
much of this information. And
at the same time the experiment
station must work for and with
the manufacturer and the inventor
informing them as to the demands
and conditions to be met by agri-
cultural implements and machines
In this way, by study, by investi-
cation and by cooperation, we
may still further improve our ag-
ricuitural implements and agricul-
tnral conditions.

will find its way beneath the sur

also true of springs. They may

be other crevices which will permit

ones then become infected from
the mother.
"The first thing usually noticed
is in the small pigs, which become
weak and emaciated. Examina-
ton of the mouth reveals the pres
ence of large, sloughing areas; Of
ten the teeth fall out. In some
cases there will be n cavity ex-
tending through the snout or the
lower jaw. From here the germ
often invades the intestinal tract
causing ulcers which perforate the
bowels. The disease is found dis
tributed over the state to such an
extent that local quarantine laws
seem of little avail. The perplex-
ing part of it is that it is often as
sociated with hog cholera and the
report to this effect has given ms
an unenviable reputation. The
disease, when not associated with
hog cholera, can be checked. In
almost every case the farmer sits
down and does nothing. In few
cases good money is paid out for
quacI nostrums. This disease has
become very serious matter. but
does not necessarily menace the
hog industry. Lethargy, combined
with not knowing how, has in
most instances, resulted in the
farmer losing all his small pigs
and many of the large ones. In
the vicinity OF Ft Collins there is
evidence of this disease, and in a
few instances it is combined with
cholera. The following steps are
advisable: If your hogs are healthy
establish quarantine. Be care
full about bringing in any un-
healthy hogs and do not allow
your neighbor to bring the infec-
tion in on his boots or come there
with breeding animals. If the
disease is already with you, get
busy.
'In the first place, kill all ami
mails that are badly affected; then
take away all the healthy animals
and put them on healthy ground
by themselves Disinfect the
premises by burning all refuse.
Use whitewash, zenoleum, carbolic
acid and other disinfectants freely.
And, most important of all, pick
up the little pigs and dip them in
tub containing solution of po-
tassium permanganate, one ounce
to gallon of water Watch the
mothers carefully and see that the
little ones are not in danger of in
fection from nursing. Animals
with this disease will not be passed
for food by the local food inspect
ors. Therefore, it behooves the
butchers to be on their guard in
purchasing hogs for the block"

Advice to Hog Raisers.

In one of his recent interviews
DR.. Geo. III. Glover, head of the de-
partment of veterinary science of
the Colorado Agricultural college
at Ft. Collins, furnishes the fol-
lowing timely advice to Colorado
hog raisers:
"The raising of hogs promises to
be one of the greatest industries of
Colorado. 1t does not take long
to get a good-sized herd of hogs; it
often takes less time to get rid of
them, if any one of two or three
diseases gets among them. Colo
RADIO has been pictured as having
ideal conditions for raising hogs.
1t has also been argued that in this
climate, for several reasons. we
need never expect the dire conse-
quences of germ diseases that have
been such menace to the hog in
dustry in the eastern states. Dis
ease has always followed in the
wake of large armies, both in the
human and in live stock. So it is
with all species of animals. If
you get too many chickens togeth
er in crowded quarters, some ser
ious disease is almost certain to
develop. The hog industry in
Colorado has been much encour-
aged. The extent to which this
industry has grown in the last two
years can only be appreciated by
one who is travelling much over
the state and is thinking especi-
ally about these things.
"At various points in the state
a disease has made it appearance
among hogs which has caused some
loss and much apprehension on
the part of hog raisers and those
who have contemplated going ex-
tensively into the business. The
disease is comparatively new one.
1t is known to be caused by a
specific germ which is found in
the litter and in everything with
which diseased animals come into
contact. The special business of
this germ seems to be to cause
gangrene. In nursing the little
pigs irritate the nipple of the
mother. The inflamed places are
invaded by the germ and the little

What Invention Has Done
For the Farmer.

machinery and implements during
the last fifty years, and its effect
upon agricultural conditions is one
which might properly require vol
umes for its telling. In a brief
paper only the merest outlines of
it can be indicated.
Increasing use of and acquaint-
ance with these implements and
y machines has brought to the farm
er knowledge by means of which
he has ameliorated his condition
in. almost every way and increased
not only his own prosperity, but
the general commercial prosperity
of the nation and of the world.
Through the developing and mar
keting of modern farm machinery
eSnd implements the occupation of
agriculture has been lifted from a
round of drudgery to one full of
rich possibilities that call into
constant requisition both intelli-
gence and reason. a century ago
agricultural machinery was almost
as primitive as it was one thousand
years ago. Now we have steam
plows, combined harvesters and
threshers, auto mowers, etc. And
although they have come into
comparatively recent use, they are
changing all our national life, com
mercial and industrial, in addition
to their direct effect upon the
farmer.
All the great crops are now
planted, and all except cotton are
gathered by machinery. The old
time plowman has given place to
one who rides on "A comfortable
spring seat, and who has plows
adapted to his various needs; or
the modern ploughman may even
be one who ploughs by steam or
motor and guides many horse
power engine across his lands.
Fertilizers, instead of being spread
by hand, may now be machine
,>spread, and with greater evenness
and economy. Seeds are planted
by machinery, from grain and
grass to corn and beans Toma-
toes, cabbage, lettuce, celery, etc,
when ready for transplanting from
the cold frames, may be set out by
the plant-setting machines, hand
ling each sprout tenderly, gather
ing earth around its roots and wat
ering it well. The potato planter
picks up potatoes, cuts them into
the desired number of parts, sep
arates the eyes, removes the seed
ends and plants the potatoes at de-
sired distances apart, then cover
ing and fertilizing them and mark
ing off the next row.
For harvesting there are still
other products of mechanical in
vention to aid the farmer in his
work. For hay harvesting there is
the mower. the horse rake, the
hay gatherer and stacker and the
hay press. For wheat and corn
harvesting there is the self binder
and header. And occasionally we
even see com bined harvester and
,4hresher which cuts the grain on
The one side and on the other drops
sacks of grain. For corn we have
the corn binder, cutting corn and
binding it in bundles. 1t may
even be shocked, husked and
threshed by machinery, and the
stalks made available for fodder.
And then the steam shelter will
carry ON the work by shelling one
bushel of corn per minute, taking
only one one-hundredth of the time
needed for the work by hand.
In doing the lesser work of the
farm, improved implements and
machinery play no smaller part.
Skimming pans have given way to
the cream separator and the incu-
bator is outdoing the hen. Potato
