Keep all the good and tried old sows
for the early filters. I would never
discard an old SOW as long as she
would bring u litter of six to eight
iigs. Besides, those who want to raise
fancy pigs depend upon their old sows
to do 1t.

TWO OF A KIND.

Two instances Of the violation Of the
eourtesies OF the highway came under
our notice the other day. The first was
that Of the town man-automobilist
whose machine frightened a farmers
horse, nearly causing a runaway, who
didn't have the courtesy to stop his
machine and render what assistance
he could in the quieting of the animal.
In the other the automobilist was go
ing along the country highway at q
reasonable. rate and came upon a lad
driving an empty hayrack pulled by a
team which did not seem to be in the
least afraid of the motor car AL
though the chauffeur whistled for half
the road so that he might pass, the
party ahead made no move whatever
to pull to one side and let him go by.
1t is just such an attitude as this on
the part of the urban and rural users
Of the country highway that is at the
bottom of most Of the Ill feeling which
at present exists between them and
that Is responsible for class of high
way accidents which are of quite com
mon occurrence. Both parties In the

A RAINY DAY LOB.

During some of the disagreeable
days of the fall when 1t is too nasty
to pillow and too wet to husk 1T would
not be bad idea to give the henhouse
a thorough renovat1ng before the win
ter sets In This should include a thor
ough cleaning out of an rubbish, white
washing of the interior, fum1gation
Of the place with sulphur by sprin-
king powdered sulphur ON a shovel
full of live Goals, while ON some bright
day one should secure a generous sup
ply of road dust and wood ashes for
the dust bath. Another job that might
be attended to most any day is plug
ging up of any holes or cracks through
which minks or skunks may gain en-
trance to the hennery, q thing that they
are more than likely to do when the
poultry begins to seek the shelter of
the house on the colder nights Of late
fall and early winter IL there are any
burrows In the neighberhood which
are thought to be inhabited by skunks,
all but one hole should be plugged up
and In this rag or piece Of absorbent
cotton inserted which has been moist
ened with carbon bisulphide, after
which this should also be closed. 1t is
better from every point of view to kill
a skunk In his OWN hole than to way
lay him in the henhouse after he has
killed a dozen or more chickens.

PROGRESS In FORESTRY.

There is probably no line Of activity
In the various fields which it seeks to
cover that the federal department OF
agriculture is devoting more attention
to or laying greater emphasis upon
than that of the preservation of our
present forest areas and the planting
of the different varieties Of trees to
take the place of the enormous num-
Der that are cut annually to supply the
needs of the country. One of the bull
letfns having this object in view and
issued early In August tells Of the
progress and value Of tree planting as
conducted within the past two decades.
in many cases at the suggestion of or
In active cooperation with the forest
service of the agricultural department.
The report states that the work of for
est planting has been progressing very
favorably In every state in the Union,
especially in California, the great mid
die west and in the New England
states. In the north and northeast
white pine, chestnut, larch and spruce
seem to be chiefly planted; in the mid
die west the catalpa, black locust.
Usage orange and Russian mulberry
are the favorites, while I'm California
the eucalyptus seem to have virtual
monopoly. In summarizing some Of
the tangible results that have been at
tanned as a result of forest planting
the bulletin cites the case Of sixteen
year-old catalpa plantation I'm Pawnee
county. Neb., which gave net return
at the time the plantation was cut Of
$152.17 per acre, which was an annual
profit of 1924 per acre. A ten-year-old
plantation of the same species in Kan
sas showed a net value Of $197.55 per
acre, while another in Nebraska gave
q net income of $17O.50 per acre when
fourteen years old, which amounts to
an annual income of $500 per acre.
Usage orange has been known to pro
duce as high as 2,64O first class posts
and 2,272 second class posts per acre,
than which none are better The sug-

TOO CONSCIENTIOUS.

AS the pupils In the country and
town schools prosecute their work dur
ing the coming. N onths it Will be well
for the thoughtful parent to keep Il
close watch of the ambitious boy or
girl-it Is more likely to be the latter
than the former-who Is prone to go
beyond the limits of physical and nerv-
Gus endurance in the desire they may
have to excel In the studies which they
are taking. AS a rule, girls are more
of study work, while the latter are
safeguarded against OVERRIDING by a
natural and perhaps barbarian instinct
which causes them to throw their
the tension has reached a certain point.
But in the case of the girl this play in
,stinct seems to be weaker than her
zeal for work and desire to excel, with
the result that in the immature and
formative period of her physical devel-
opment she is likely to suffer injury
from the effect of which she can never
wholly recover. This danger is seldom
realized by the pupil, but should be by
the parent. Fortunate from the stand
point of physical well being is the TOM
boy girl, for she can tone down, but for
her more delicate sister there is not
the same possibility of toning up If the
strain of overworlS is carried too far.

One can hardly help feeling keen re-
greet. that apples, potatoes and many
other kinds Of fruits and vegetables
are so perishabie and cannot, like corn
or wheat, be kept through from IA sea-
son Of plenty to supply the shortage OF

1906 there were hundreds of thousands
of barrels OF choice fail and winter
apples that went to waste simply be-
cause buyers would not and perhaps
were not able to pay0a price which
made it worth while to pick the fruit
off the trees. This season, due to a
heavy freeze at blossomfnS time and
after, there is a shortage of fruit such
as has not been known I'm many years,
but due to the short life Of the apple

ito relieve the scarcity. One season a

Although lit has been q comm only
there is no vital connection between
the frosts of early autumn and the
leaf coloring of many tof the forest
trees, the brilliant lhues which they
take ON being the result ,of a natural
ripening process and not sof the action
of the frost. i'm way of verifying this
view the fact may be cited that when
an unusually heavy freeze comes early
the leaves are killed, dry up and fall
without going through their delightful
color metamOrph0sis.

Robt. Fett's high stopper took
notion Monday at the depot to
take a trip with Robt.'s new wag
on alone and started cutting cir
cles on the green grass back of
the depot, the only damage done
was the breaking of a brace on the
seat.
One of Ed. Hedges teams made
record breaking run Monday af-
ternoon down Main street towards
the Court house-no doubt after
hunting license. The team was
stopped by Sheriff Murphy back
of the Court house, no damage
was done but lots of excitement.

James Shelf drove to the depot at
limited time and after unloading
the baggage he forgot to hitch
his team, which deliberately walk
off with the two seated rig; they
went over to the ball park where
they were found. The rig and
harness was somewhat damaged,
but the puzzle is, how did the
team and rig get to the ball park,
over stumps and the holes with
SO little damage being done.
