unthrinu pins.

We always consider that It takes
good ability on the part of any man 10
carry q bunch Of hogs through and
keep thcil thrifty from start 70 finish
without a single setback. It cannot be
done on corn and water, and. indeed,
in many instances It cannot be done on
corn, pasture and water. If you have
a big bunch you viii notice that there
win be one or feed here and one there,
and some wiz be slow about coming
out of the pen and be OF course indif-
ferent to their feed. These pigs stand
still in growth and give the owner
worry. ,o
While we do not believe IN promiscu-'
ously doping hogs, thereby running the
risk Of injuring their digestive organs.
at the same time we think ordinarily
it pays to throw In few extras.
For instance, we have found It "a
excellent thing to use a little coal tar
dip in the slop once or twice a week.
While this is quite unpalatable ana
must be used in quantities varying
from quarter to one-half a pint in
a fifty gallon barrel Of slop at otlpa
same time If the pigs appetites ARE
kept sharp they will stand for this
quantity. The feeder. however, must
learn just how much they viii use and
give them what his judgment dictates.
There is no danger Of OVERRIDING II,
because if you get it too strong hogs
win not eat their slop, Our thought IS
that the coal tar destroys internal par.
asltes, and these are the cause of many
of the hogs ailments. Even little pigs
n month or six weeks old that are be
ginning 10 eat should not be passed by.
We have never known one TO be i'm
iured by #. while. on the other handY
its use has in many cases that have
been brought TO our attention kept
large lunches OF hogs absolutely
healthy until they were sent to market
at good weights.-Iowa Homestead.

POISONED GLOVES.
They Had Their Home In Italy With

Perfumed gloves have contributed
largely to the bright and cruel side OF
romance, Of fact and Of fiction. They
had their home in Italy, the home OF
the Borgias and De Medlcis, aad It IS
said, with how much truth VIII never
be KNOWN. that many an untimely
death was caused by wearing perfum-
ed gloves whose scented palms con-
cealed a deadly poison. 1t seems to
have been a favorite pastime Of the
notorious Alexander VI. and Of his
more notorious son. Caesar Borgin, to
Invite n friend TO dine, show him every
attention as a guest, present him with
beautiful pair Of perfumed and poi
soned gloves and next dav send fltwers
to his funeral. accom- T11esed by little
note, polite but firm, requesting the
Immediate transfercnce of all the prop
erty of the deceased to the Golfers Of
the Borgias.
There is an interesting and very ugly
story Of a famous polsoner of the ff-
teenth century who confessed under
the water cure to having murdered for
a consideration about fifteen people by
means Of poisoned gloves. The poison
she employed was so slow in taking
effect that for years she remained I'M
discovered and finally came TO grief
through her own foolish boasting.-

Toxic, Japan-That many or most
Japanese Christians say no more for
eign missionaries are wanted in Japan,
and that numbers of the strongest
missionary leaders agree with them,
at least to the extent of saying that
no new forces should be sent out for
the present, is the rather sensational
conclusion to which l have been
forced after six weeks study of the
missionary situation here.
A grave crisis confronts the mis-
sions in Japan. How serious it is
the church people in America have
no conception. That an open rupture
between the missions and the JAP
anese churches has been narrowly
averted, and is still a dangerous pos.
sibility, is freely admitted on all sides.
The gravity of the situation is recog-
nized by everybody concerned. It
affects present religious conditions in
the empire, but, more important still,
1t has a bearing upon the future of
Christian missions in almost every
SOuuLAy III tuG WOTlu. Inc Qu6SL1OnS
that are up for settlement here and
now will constitute precedent for
all other mission lands The very
magnitude of the crisis has sobered
all parties concerned, so that the bit
terness and hostilities which marked
the earlier stages of the controversy
are passing away, and on every side
the extreme views are being modified.
Japanese Churches Assert Themselves.
The present tense situation has it's
tap root in the spirit of Japanese ma
tienalism. This people is exceedingly
sensitive and proud. 1t resents with
bitterness and sarcasm being called
a "heathen" nation, and thus being
classed with the natives of Africa and
the South Sea Islands. Equally is it
averse to remaining under foreign
control anc tutelage in it's religious
life The sentiment which caused the
abolition Of extra-territorial political
rights to foreigners, and which to this
day leads the Japanese prints to
speak Of the foreign communities as
former settlements" is keenly alive
to what is felt to be an attitude Of

orlain Of American cntfea

In recent lecture Charles Barwise.
coffee importer, related a romantic
incident concerning the introduction
of coffee on this continent.
Louis XIV" said Mr.. Barwise.
was presented by the magistrates of
Amsterdam with a fine specimen Of
the, coffee plant This was nursed
carefully and sprouts from it were
sent to Martinique, being committed
to the care of a French naval officer
named De Clieux. The voyage was
rough and long, the supply of water
failed, and all the young plants died
for lack of nourishment, EXCEPT one.
With this one, De Clieux divided his
scanty allowance OF water, and ar
rived at Martinique with it alive. This
little shoot afterward fiourished. and
it is alleged, became the parent plant
from which the now almost innumer.
able varieties found on the American
continent were produced"

Prepare to Destroy the cut-worr,

worm will be ready to cut the plants
while the owner of the land sleeps.
1t is an insect to be dreaded. as the
ten kinds of cutworms on fiat lands
destroy one-tenth of the young plants.
Listen to this little talk and you NAV
avert this evil.
AS soon as garden plants are I'D. or
corn in the field, take 20 pounds wheat
bran and mix with it one pound of
paris green, then add enough syrup
to make the bran adhere when pressed
with the hand a small quantity of
water may be essential. Drop in
quantities as much as a common thin
bic will hold near the growing plants.
At night worms will come from their
hiding places to obtain food, and IL
the worm finds the sweetened bran it
will eat and die. Purchase the paris
green or white arsenic, which is much
cheaper, have bran and syrup ready
to destroy the cutworms. One days
delay may mean loss to the farm of
500 plants. Act on this advice before
the destroyer makes it's appearance.
Keep poultry or stock off of the
plants when the poison is upon the
ground

Eleven Dairy Rules.

First-Breed or buy good class of
dairy cows.
Second-Provide good, warm, we'll
ventilated stables for winter, with
plenty of the right kind of feed.
Third--Feed regularly and abun-
dainty, but not more than necessary.
Fourth-Milk speedily, but gently,
never maltreating or exciting the cow
in any way.
Fifth-Make pets of your cows, and
treat them gently and kindly at all
times.
Six-Never expose them to cold in
winter; don't let them run in the yard
any day that it is so cold you can not
work out with bare hands.
Seven-Warm their water in winter.
Eight-Proyide plenty of good bed
ding with drop behind the cows to
hold the animal refuse, so the COW
will be kept absolutely clean at all
times.
Nine-Never let the COW out around
the straw stack. and in the corn field
to fill up on an article of food that
will not produce milk; let the dry
COW and the young cattle pick on this
Ten-Give her uniform feed and
care; don't turn out one day and keep
in the next; turn into the field the
next and so on. That will make her
uneasy and will dry her up; she dis
likes changes.
Eleven-Never change her feed sud
denly; if a change must be made,
make it gradually.
II these rules are adhered to strict
ly, keeping none but the special dairy
cow, good profit can be realized
from the business, and the farm fer
tilted and made better year by year.

DOES THIS HIT your
How About Your Feed Arrangements
On the Farm?

To feed do you have to make sew.
eral trips past each animal to feed in
opposite end to entrance or do you
feed in manger right at the doors or,
what is better still, feed in all the
stalls from one elevated feedway with
out having to go in the stall?
Is the water supply pure, adequate
little foul pond or creek several hun.
dred yards away?
Is your feed lot elevated Slightly
above stock, so the feed can be thrown
down where wanted, or do you carry
the hay, cats or corn from across the
barn from another barn or out from
the barnyard?
Do your stall doors fall to so as to
catch the animals hips or do they
fall open out of the way? Are they
provided with easy working hinges
and latches?
Is your corn crib In the barn or
do you cary corn three times a day,
1895 times a year, from an out crib
or barn?
is your barnyard properly and con-
veniently fenced, or do you chase your
horse stock back and forth in the mud
around the barn?
Do you lift ton upon ton of feed
into the loft, or can you drive the
loads up there and unload easy, or
nave you a hay and feed carrier to
do the lifting by horse power?
Do you feed your hogs in winter by
carrying load after load away to some
dry spot: Or have you board or con-
crete floors right near the cribs for
bad weather use?
is your fencing such that you can
separate large herd of hogs or some
other stock easily, or is it a tedious
and disagreeable job?
DO you carry water to the stock in
the bad weather, or can you pump it,
Or does your engine, mill or hydraulic
ram put it there?

strainht Row Eor Cotton.

If the land for cotton is level, roll
ing, straight rows of course are out
of question. But whether level or roll
ing, all rows can be Of even width,
and this has a great deal to do with
cheap cultivation, as subsequent
events will show. At a recent meet
ing Of about one hundred cotton farm
ers, requested that every one pres
ent who could lay off straight row
to hold up his hand, and only about
ten or twelve responded. What would
you think, brother farmers, if in a
meeting of one hundred physicians
only ten knew how to stitch up a
wound or set fracture?-S. Fl.
