condiments for Aous.

Condiments must be provided for
the hogs at all times. These are not
costly. They consist of wood ashes,
soft coal broken into small bits, NOR
tar, rotten wood or anything of that
character Hogs eat these readily
and they are great aids in keeping
them in health and consequently in
growing rapidly and fattening quickly,
says Orange Judd Farmer. The ami
mails must have some salt, the same
as other live stock on the farm. OF
course, every bit of swill, refuse, veg.
etables used in the kitchen, etc,
should be fed to the hogs.

CLIPPING THE HORSE.
Why 1t Is Done and How the Horse
Should Be Protected Afterwards.

Again the matter of clipping horses
is brought up for discussion by an
Iowa reader who wants to know If
there is any benefit to be derived from
clipping horses, and If SO at what sea
son they should be clipped, says the
Breeders Gazette. He also desires TO
learn whether horse buyers object to
draft horses from which the foretops
have been cut. AS has been repeated
ly affirmed in these columns, whether
a horse should or should not be
clipped, and when, depends entirely
on the use to which he is to be put.
Nature supplies the long equine win
ter coat as a protection against cold.
That is the sole reason for it. 1t fol
lows than that If the horse is used I'M
der conditions which do not CORE
spond with the object of nature the
coat Should be removed. For instance,
if a horse has work to do that compels
his sweating freely, it is bard mat
ter to get his long winter covering
dried out within any reasonable length
of time and the poor beast has to stand
for hours much in the position of the
man who gets drenched to the skin in
! rainstorm and has no fire at which
| to dry himself On the other hand, II
such a horse is clipped and sweats
| freely he can be dried in few mo-
ments and under a warm blanket is
| just like the man who gets wet
through, goes quickly to a warm room,
removes his clothing and dons fresh
raiment. If horse has to work only
little or at such labor that he does
not sweat greatly clipping is generally
unnecessary. Again the long hair har-
bors the calculations of the skin and
gathers dirt of other sorts. A clipped
horse may be cleaned in jig time and
a warm blanket does quite as well as
the hair in keeping up the bodily heat.
OF course 1t is nothing short of bar
barous to clip horse and then let him
remain habitually exposed to the cold
Blankets are cheap. 1t is believed that
horses clipped in spring do better than
those that are allowed to shed their
hair long. Buyers of draft horses pre-
fer that the name, tail and foretop be
left intact.

fairs, and he Is ever on the go looking
to the interests of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support of the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for livelihood, when the peo-
pie send their money to concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an interest in the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them there, and 1t helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
a standstill so long as the people per
sist in this way of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, 1t will take on metropolis
tan look, and the people will say to
their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar.
kets The least that a person can do
| toward the betterment of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to it
that 1t is put where it is most needed
and wanted.
This should be vital question to
all concerned in the welfare of his
community Snd it should be an estab
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.

from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and 1t will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as if 1t had been ordered from cata-
logue house. The home merchants
business must be kept up and in order
to do this 1t is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller OF these
articles when he wants anything In
the merchants line. He should pc the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should be
seen and arrangements made Tor the
purchase Of the article, II he does not
carry IT. in stock.
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the held
and helps the community along. Tne
people take the home paper because
1t gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. If the people do NOT
patronize the home merchant he can
! not afford to advertise, and without
advertising a paper will soon prove
failure. Soon the home paper is sent
to the wall for the want OF support
| from the merchants; it may have
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help it will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant is next 10

support, and the town will decrease In
population, and the people VIII won

editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support of the church, he pays
| his taxes to keep the schools up, he
! contributes to the horse show, the rail-
festival. and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
md give his support to. He is at the
head OF the list for everything that Is
for the good of the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty co

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop of hair,
which Is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague 1t would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

Apartment Hog Trough.

1t will set down over the v-shaped
trough and is then nailed to the plat
form in the rear.
A swill chute Is built in the middle
opening, as illustrated. The swill
flows into the middle trough and then
flows to each of the stalls as in any
ordinary hog trough.
This plan is satisfactory one for
any farmer who wishes to bar off his
hog trough so that each animal has
an equal chance with every other one.

that they are in reality paying more
for an inferior grade of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations in the United States,
all kinds of schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains No expense has been spared
in. their struggle for the almighty dol
lar of the country people, and they
have been so far successful at the
great expense of the home town of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or Is cents year.
They build up circulation on this
low price of hundreds of thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lionsapf dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pendel SSg advertising is more than
doubled from the sales of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and it is, If the person
receiving this catalogue wants cheap

make and material. The farmer re,

order. The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box Is
opened it is found to contain some
thing much below his expectations
hut this does not satisfy his mind OF
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full money

treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has saved
money by buying 1t where he could

GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DE-
SERVE YOUR SUPPORT.
MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY
He lie at the Head Of the Things
That Are Good for the
Town and Your
self

Copyright by Alfred G. Clark)
The above head is a subject that
can well be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. 1t is also a subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
in which he lives and who wishes to
see it grow and prosper.
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the com
munity in which he lives. In Justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home Industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
of the town in which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question it
should be borne in mind that the coun-
try people like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
a place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified In so doing,
but, at the same time they should re-
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
If they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated
and look into, and know, the true con-
dition of affairs, probably they would
reconsider the stand they had taken
toward them. In many cases the peo-
pie are ignorant OF the true surround
ings and inside operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right in sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the
same article that the home merchant
sells, only at a much lower price. The
majority of the people do not know
that they are buying the cheapest
article that can be manufactured and

Planks six feet long are halved di-

'Helpmeet" has had curious his
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation. when the
Lord God said, It is not good that
the man should be alone; l will make
him an help meet for him." That is

constantly used as one. Moreover,
the confusion is increased by the cor

and Macaulay writes of the waiting

a parson."
