Hogs need clean, pure water as much
as the rest of the stock. See that they
get it.
Perhaps you do not realize it. but
the dearest animal on your farm is the
cheap scrub.
Which do you keep? The COW that
makes more than she eats or the COW
that eats more than she makes?
1t is impossible to plant an orchard
or a windbreak in the winter time but
it is possible and profitable to plan one
or both.
FuEgous diseases and insect pests
can be kept from taking the profits of
the orchard this next season by faith
full, judicous spraying.
The five to eight quarts of milk a
day COW will never return the farmer
an adequate profit. unless the percent
age of butter fat is high.
An argument in favor Of the open
head in fruit trees is that the fruit on
such trees does not rot SO badly as that
on trees with dense heads
First the framework, then the trim
mings. So with stock-raising. Feed
to get the biggest kind of growth, then
lay on the fat as fast as possible.
\ dairy COW must be given more feed
than just enough for her own support
if she is to be relied upon to give any
thing for the support of her owner.
The conditions under which the pigs
are kept has as much to do with deter
mining the quality of pork which will
be produced as has the quality of the
food.
In cultivating the plum and cherry
orchards remember that it must he
shallow enough to avoid breaking the
roots. for the broken roots send III
shoots that suck the life of the tree.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbIing
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-

America Has the Healthiest Cattle

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says
the United States has the healthiest
cattle of any nation on the face OF the
earth. This is owing to our rigid sys-

10 per cent of the cattle are infected
with tuberculosis. and in the United
States only 10 per cent. and we will
soon have it entirely eradicated We

Oh build upon his bones better thing;
And yet link to LIES eternal chain;
Depose humanity, or once again
Thy primal silence fling
Heed my long agonies, and let them cease
Tighten the horror of my endless woe;
From off this bleeding bosom bid him go
And give thy planet peace.
But If thou shalt ordain we never part,
Then, Mother pity me by plying me;

With reason to his heart.
Send them and this thy gift; let Reason

So that a reconciliation come
Between the children and their ancient

Ere darkness fall again.
