 ness Are Sent Out

ness Are Sent Out.
 The campaign for q population Of roo. 900 in Montgomery in 1910 is ever receiving new impetus from the ef- forts of the Commercial Club. The latest idea conceived and executed by Secretary Dave in furtherance of the enovennAnt is the recent issue of 5O,O00 slips which contain on one side cut Showing the sky-scrapers of the city completed and in course of construc- ton, on the other side a map illustrat- ing the superior railway facilities or Montgomery.
 These slips are to be distributed free of charge to merchants of Montgomery upon request. and are intended to be inclosed in all business eonmunica- tions sent out from the city.
 It is anticipated that the advan- taEes of the city can thus be presented in a material way that no amount Of mere description could. The actual picture of Montgomery's building pro gress Is more suggestive of the rapid strides in the growth of the city than any verbal announcement.
 In the few days since the issue of the slips, Secretary Dave has had a call for 5000 of them by prominent merchants of Montgomery. It is ex- pected that the first lot printed will be exhausted in the next few days. Meanwhile the attention of people in all parts of the country will have been drawn to Montgomery's remarkable progress. The results of this new campaign cannot but be productive of .nRsaak bsneft, --E

FARM NOTES.

See that no one disturbs the birds
on your farm. They are your best
friends
Sell off few of the common rams if
you are raising sheep and invest the
money in one good animal.
While blackstrap molasses can be
safely fed to grown cattle or horses.
care should be exercised in feeding it
to young stock.
Flies in daytime and mosquitoes at
night make stock lose flesh. Stables
can easily be screened and at nomina,
cost.
Sunlight and air and cleanliness are
the cheapest of all disinfectants.
Black knot in plums and apple can
ker can be cured by judicious pruning
and spraying.
Keep the garden free from weeds
until after frost
For the protection of the weaker
members of the flock grain should be
we'll scattered when feeding fowls.
Clean up the poultry houses and
whitewash them before frost.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
OF SWINE

Feeding hogs is a subject in which
every farmer and breeder is or should
be deeply interested. 1t is of univer-
sal importance; and l only wish
could go into it deeply and in a
way that would interest you men
here.
Starting with the newborn pig, it
requires practice and skill to feed the
mother so that she will bring her litter
out without securing them. When this
is done the first great danger is over.
To do this she should be fed lightly
and Systematically. The same man
should feed and care for her that fed
her previous to narrowing. He should
have his work well planned, and good
judgment should direct his move
ments. Many writer's advocate the
use of strictly milk-producing ra-
ton, but experience has shown that
this is wrong. The flow of milk at
this time is naturally greater than the
pigs will take in the majority of cases.
For this reason a light feed of corn
and oats is better for the SOW and pigs
both. In the course of a week the
ration should be gradually changed to
a slop of shorts, and this increased
until the ration consists of one-half of
such feeds.
At the age of three weeks the pigs
will commence eating and they should
be encouraged by the use of a creep
The feed should consist of a slop of
some good mill feeds. From the time
the pigs commence eating the expense
of feeding gradually increases, and
with 1t the value of the pig increases
If he is doing well and is properly fed
1t is not my purpose to PROFOUND
the balanced ration, fact or theory
However, the purpose or final end
of the feeding operation is to
produce a hog with strong bony
framework and development of mus
Gle of such an extent that all the vital
organs such as the lungs, heart, di-
gestive and reproductive organs will
be as perfect as possible when the hog
is matured. To do this, the scientific,
or, as l would rather call it, the sys-
tematic way of feeding must come into

the owner of a saloon, having bought
out Pikey McGinn-taking bar, stock,
goodwill and building.
Then, to the greater surprise of
Brickville, he promptly sold to Pikey's
hated rival everything but the build
ing. Pikey swore it was all put-up
job, and left town in disgust. Succo-
fash said it was because he intended
to tear down the old house and put up
a better one. And tear down the old
place he did, and he carted the bricks
away to his mystery shed-to store
them there until he was ready to
build, he said.
But the only thing that Pierre built
at that time was a wooden water
trough, leading from his well to the
brick shed. Most of the day and all
of the night he locked himself in that
shed with mis- secret. Those who
passed in the rear of the place de.
clared that they could hear him grind
ing something, and because of pool
of red water which had accumulated
near the shed they thought it must
be the bricks.
Now, Fred Richie was one of those
who regarded Pierre's conduct as
most suspicious. He gave good deal
of thought to the mystery of the shed
and the tearing down of McGinn's sa-
loon, and finally he recalled having
seen Succotash grab that piece Of
brick and make off with it, Then 1t
occurred to him also that it was Pi-
ere who had caused all the trouble
between Pikey and Slanteye by steal
ing the chimney And one day when
Succotash was down in town buying
provisions Fred sneaked out the back
way of his shop with bit and stock
and bored a hole in the mortar be-
tween the bricks of Pierre's shed to
discover what his secret might be- AS
Pierre worked that night Fred had his
eye glued to this hole and noted what
he was doing.
Next morning his neighbors were
surprised at finding that Ritchie's
chimney had fallen during the night,
and they were astonished to see Fred
carrying the bricks into his barber
shop and piling them up with great
care. He wasn't going to have them
stolen, as Pikey's were, he told them.
And as they passed by the shop later
in the day and looked in they saw him
pounding away at the bricks, breaking
them into bits and scanning each piece
carefully.
One of his customers was let into
the secret, and another chimney fell.
The secret was a secret no longer.
Succotash had found gold in the piece
of brick that Richie had seen him
dart forward to pick up, and he had
found more in the bricks he had stol.
en- from Pikey. With the proceeds he
had set up an arastra in the shed,

show that this important feature is
not neglected.
The building may, of course, be of
any length to accommodate from 20
to 100 pigs or more. Two rows of
pens flank the passage, one on either
side. Doors, two feet wide, open off
the passage into each pen. The feed

deep, being large enough for four to

SAVING Choice Seed.

l have found it a good plan to save
my own vegetable seed. One not only
saves many pennies, but knows just
what he is planting. The finest choice
tomatoes. cucumbers, etc, are saved
for seed Seed cucumbers growing
near the roots produce better and shed
less of their blossoms. l never pick
a bean to use off of hills kept for
seed and those beans growing farthest
from the main vines are rejected. The
result is beans from the roots to the tip
ends of the vines. Cabbage, beets,
radishes, turnips, etc, are planted out
early in spring to produce seed and
the tops are staked to prevent falling
to the ground.

oILINe PUBLIC ROADS.
Proving One of the Best Means OF
Producing a DustIess Highway

The application of crude oil to dirt
roads has been experimental with in
several states and it is now agreed
that it affords one of the best means
of producing a solid, dustless highway
that will not break through in wet
weather. Where the roads are very

and oil. In tests in Kansas, says the
Farm and Home, heavy oiling was
given about October / to the amount
of about one gallon for each square
yard. The road was narrowed after
the sprinkler and week later 12-ton
steam roller was run over the road
several times, making it thoroughly
firm.

The following June the surface, on
becoming dry, carried light coat Of
dust which required one-hah gallon of
oil per square yard to thoroughly set
tie. The road stood heavy traffic dur.
ing the entire season and was prac.
tically free from dust Light applica.
tons of oil after merely grading up
road with the scraper and later roll
ing it down heavily have given ex-
cellent results, the most satisfactory
features being that these roads were
almost entirely dustless.
The oil used on the tests in Kansas
cost one and one-half cents per gallon
at the refinery or three cents when ap-
piled. The cost of grading and oiling
the road varied from $500 to 1900
per mile, according to distance from

and in this he was grinding gold oul
of the bricks of Pikey's dismantled
saloon.
Richie and the others found scales
and grains and specks of gold. When
the chimney bricks had been ground
up the wall bricks followed, and in a
short space of time Brickville was a
town of tents again.
Then it was announced suddenly
that Succotash and Richie had
patched up their trouble and that Pi-
ere had sold his arastra to Fred This
was followed by Pierre's departure
from town. He has made his pile, :"
the Brickvillians said to one another
The coal pits had been abandoned

man one day brought a startling piece
of news into the town.
Succotash had bought a claybank
in Basin, and brickyard as well; and
he had astonished the good people of
that nook in the mountains by con-
verting this claybank into a gold mine
and this brickyard into a mill in
which to treat his rich clay, for the
gold could not be freed by ordinary
process of placer washing.
Then Brickville collectively kicked
itself for not having thought to trace
out this brickyard before the man
from Canada; and the Brickvillians
folded their tents and went scurrying
away to the mountains to search there
for other claybanks that were studded
with nuggets of gold.

Treat smutty SEED Wheat.

If it is necessary to SOW seed wheat
from crop which has been attacked
by shrinking smut the seed should first
be treated with formalin. One pint
of formalin in 40 gallons water will
treat so bushels of wheat Spread it
out on clean, tight floor previously
sterilized with the formalin solution.
Sprinkle thoroughly until every ker-
mel is wet. Sprinkling should be re,
peated until at least three quarts of
solution per bushel of grain have been
absorbed Cover the pile with cloth
or canvas for two hours, then shovel
the grain over at intervals to dry ii

used in handling the grain must be

operation. Feeds high in protein and
ash must be used or the development
will not be so complete as it otherwise
would. Any of the following feeds
may be used: Wheat, wheat sorts.
middlings, oil meal, oat shorts, pack
ing house by-products, alfalfa and
clover pastures. The ration should
consist for the most part of one or
combination of these feeds. Every
man has an idea of what combination
he thinks best.
The feeding of correctives, tonics.
and worm powders is at present ad
vocated by a great many men, and it
is all right, but these are found on all
farms, with the exception of the
worm exterminator, in the form of
corn cob charcoal. and grass. AS a
worm exterminator l have found five
grains of santonin and three grains
Of calomel to each so pounds of hog
to be the cheapest and most eff.
fective. However, considerable care
is needed to feed such a powder, as
only ten head should be treated at a
time and the powder thoroughly mixed
through the slop.
No feeder, be he ever so careful and
patient, can be successful in his oper
ations if the conditions surrounding
his hogs are not sanitary and clean.
Stacked lime and coal tar dip and
crude oil should be used freely, but
not extravagantly, by every hog man.
Lime and dip are good disinfectants,
and will keep down disease, while the
crude oil is the cheapest and most eff.
fective louise killer l have ever tried.
