Hogs for Slaughtering.

Hogs to be slaughtered should not
be fed twenty-four hours before slaugh-
tering. They will not bleed freely
Nor should they become heated by
chasing, or any other cause. 1t like
wise has tendency to check the flow
Of blood. Nor should a hog be scald-
ed until fully expired. After the hog
Is hung up and the lntestines, lungs,
heart and all are removed and washed
out, split the hog right through the
center, leaving small attachment
near the tail and at the end Of the
snOut, 80 as not to overbalance 1t
and as soon as the leaf lard Is cold
enough to be princil-:ly removed, take
1t out. This will insure the perfect
cooling Of the meat. This last precau-
tion we learned from large numbering
concerns and packers in the early days,
when selling dressed hogs. We have
found it a safe practice. The heavier
the hog the more essential its quick
and perfect cooling. Never allow meat
to freeze solid, or pack 1t In a frozen
condition, for 1t Is sure to spoil

In the majority OF cases 1t pays to
stack grain In the corn belt, or In sec
tions where diversified farming, in dis
tinctlon from all small grain or one
crop farming, Is conducted. The differ.
ence In the cost of shock-thrashing and
stacking and stack-thrashing, is COM
paratlvely small, smaller than the aver.
age farmer realizes We have a few
figures on the subject from the Min
nesota Experiment Station which will
be OF special interest in this connec-
tion. The cost per bushel Of shock.
thrashIng wheat was IA cents. while
the cost OF stacking and stack-thrasl.
Ing was 10.1 cents per bushel, dif.
ference Of 81 cents per bushel In
the per bushel cost mentioned all labor
machine cost, etc, Is taken into con-
sIderation. Let us see what this means
Under ordinary conditions stacked
grain will grade at least one grade
above grain that Is thrashed from the
shock, and in wet season the differ.
ence may be a great deal more thar
that II you watch the markets you
will find there is usually a difference
Of 2 cents In the price Of No. North
ern and No. 2 Northern wheat Thli
means that the gain Of one grade IL
wheat nearly pays the extra cost in
cident to stacking and stack thrashinI
as compared with shock -thrashing.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE.
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Druggist
in Your Town and Shake Them
in Bottle to Mix This.

A we'll known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers Of q large New
York daily paper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
tion, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case Of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
arc obtained, and without iEjurlng the
stomach. While there are many co.
called rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc., some Of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated py many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even the
small towns elicits the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists will
mix the prescription if asked to.

Fall Feed for Cows.

The profits derived from soiling
milch cows is at no time so great as
during a drought in midsummer yet
most farmers retain their green fod-
der until just before winter sets in,
and they do this when they must know
that II a COW is allowed to nearly dry
up in the milking season she will prob
ably not recover. In the fall grass is
usually abundant, and there are pump
kins and vegetables and grain in
plenty, the corn fodder being but little
needed
