FROM THE HIRED MAN

If we could make long-term con-
tracts-say, three to five years-witl
our employers, it seems to me that
conditions of farm labor would be very
much improved. Too many farmers
are unwilling to hire a man all the
year around and prefer to depend upon
such help as they may be able to pick
up during the rush seasons Conse-
quently these short terms of employ
nent tend to make tramps of many
good men and naturally they drift to
the cities where they can find perrna-
nent employment.

HACKNEY HORSES IN SOUTH
Men Who Raise This Breed Get
Good Prices for Them on
Northern Markets.
BY J. M. BELL, RICHMOND, VA.

The Hackney is one of the best pay
ing horses that the southern farmer
can raise, and he is increasing in pop
ularltY each year. The numerous horse
shows now held in the state of Virginia
nave given great impetus to horse
breeding in that state, and the same
may be said of many other southern
states.
There are many things to be said in
favor OF the Hackney, and there are
good reasons for his popularity as a
harness horse; among them are his
very stylish appearance, high action

My neighhor said to my wife day,
Eve runt of pig I'll give away,
In bunch like mine she stands no show.
They push and crowd her and. we'll know,
No pig without vittles nd drink kin grow"
My wife took the pig, and 1t had full run
From rosy morn to set of sun.
At night she went into little pen
And fed her milk and grain food then.
And she ate and she slept and then ate again.

Like that pig did. She grew sleek and neat;
She heightened out to a good strong frame;
She was gentle and kind and just tame

I'VE can never eat that pig at all"
SO we kept her. and if you'll believe 1t, sir,

How? Why in the spring she had seven pigs,
As smart and clipper proverbial grigs.
Nd then in the fall, she had ten more,
Nd to-day she's grandmother DER and DER,

Someway, that pig has brought us luck:
She's been our mascot, and given pluck.
She's rooted the mortgage often the place;
She smoothed the care-lines out of wfe's face.
That pig. Why, tell you, she won the case.
Sell her? Why, no. we can't soil her.

KEEP THE MILK VESSELS CLEAN

This is the picture of an iowa girl
who runs ten-cow dairy with the
help of stout boy. The dairy house
is 10x15 feet, with a stream of cold
water from a spring running through
it, She says that the only way to
keep dairy in fine condition is to
first rinse all vessels in cold water and
then scald with boiling water. She
adds about a tablespoonful of caustic
soda to pail of boiling water and
thinks it helps to cleanse the vessels.
After the washing everything is put
out into the sun whenever it shines.

A PERFECT TYPE or GUINEA FOWL

This picture is from a drawing by
the Agricultural Department in
Washington and shows the perfect
form Of guinea fowl. These birds sell
in the markets of Boston, Washington,
New York and other large cities at

are hearty and will eat anything that
an ordinary chicken will eat, but are
wide rangers and should be confined
within reasonable bounds.

A CASE OF BLOOD POISON

I have very sick horse and am I'M
able to find what is the matter with
him. He has a swelling directly under
the tail on the right side, which resem-
bied a blood boil. When opened great
clots of blood passed out, but no cor
ruption He was also foul in the
sheath. But I had him doctored and
since that time the water has been
passing from him almost constantly.
He has no appetite, although he has
always been hearty eater, and is now
so stiff in his hind parts that he can
hardly move. He also has nervous ire
mors which start from the sheath and
back through his hips. I have had
several to doctor him, but they do him
no good and have no idea what is the
matter with him.-Walter Dyer, Tobins-
port, Ind.

The fact that swelling formed and
when opened was found to contain
large quantities of clothed blood, goes
to show that the horse must have sus-
