TROUBLE WITH MODERN CHILD.
Too Early Made Acquainted with the
Pomp of the World.

Miss L. E. Stearns, in her lecture
on the 'Thankless Child, lin Milwau-
kee, pleaded for children to have time
to be children. Il know of a Milwau-
kee mother who was surprised lately
to find that at birthday party which
her daughter "a child of eight had
attended two liveried pages stood at
the door to receive the gifts the chn-
dren brought The same little girl who
was hostess at the party, when in
formal mood, is apt to go to call upon
some child of her own age in her
mothers carriage, accompanied by a
footman and driver, and when she
arrives, presents her visiting card be-
fore seeing her friend" Miss Stearns
compared this complicated existence
with that of the great John Ruskin,
who had but four toys during his en-
tire childhood, but who spent many
enraptured hours with these, and he
attributed his taste for architecture to
the fact of his blocks, one of the
toys, having interested him in build
ing at so early an age.

Smallest Birds the Bravest.

Birds fearless are the humming birds.
So unafraid are these charming crea-
lures that they readily will enter open
windows of houses If they see the
flowers within They even have been
known to visit the artificial flowers
on a woman's hat when she was walk
ing out, and other writer's speak of
their taking sugar from between a
persons lips. In room they become
confused and, being frail, are apt to
injure themselves by striking against
objects. 1t is of no use to try to
keep them in captivity unless possibly
1t were in a greenhouse, where there
were plenty of flowers, for no artificial
food ever has been found which will
nourish them. Yet even in green
house they probably would kill them
selves by flying against the glass.

The Proud Maid.

Robert Barr, the English novelist,
was entertained at dinner by North

proud to have been able to wait on
Mr. Barr. He is the first famous man

And then in a burst of maidenly en-
thusiasm, she exclaimed:

on THE HOG.
The Humble Pig and His Growth In
Favor


Ever since the herd Of swine ran
violently down the steep place and in
10 the sea, being possessed Of the dew
II, and even before that event for
aught we know. there has been preju-
dice in various quarters against the
hog.
1t is true that the hog has some
traits of character not entirely de-
sirable, but that Is often the fault of
his owner. Confined in small pen
In close quarters he is not an agree
able neighbor, but turned loose in a
field Of clover or alfalfa with run
ming stream convenient, the hog Is
about as correct in his habits as the
COW or the hen. He appreciates good
care and kind treatment as we'll as
any animal on the farm. Whether for
his individual well-being or not, much
Of the prejudice against piggy as an
unclean beast is on the wane. Our
ancestors partook largely Of hog and
hominy, and they were about as good
as we are, physically and morally, if
not little better The doctors also
have come around to the opinion that
good bacon is not so bad, even for
sick folks.
Modern farming, in up-to-date sec
tons, has to large extent, elimi-
mated the pig pen, and has turned the
hog into pastures and stubble fields
just like any other stock. All over
the West and Northwest the hog is
known to the farmer as "the mortgage
litter" Our Western friends in many
communities feed very little corn or
grain until the finishing period
comes Ten acres of alfalfa" s"ys
the Denver Field and Farm, properly
fenced and sub-divided, will care for

will pasture them for seven months,
during which time 200 pounds of grain
should be fed every day. At the end
of seven months the pigs will average

Why SIoan's Liniment and Vet
Urinary Remedies are the
Best to Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market today. In the first place, DR..
Earl s. Sloan is the son of Il veter-
mary surgeon, and from his earliest
infancy he was associated with
horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet
very young. He practised as vet
Urinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practising
his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
S. Sloan. 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "SlOan's Treatise
on the Horse" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and

Tobacco Tags Bring Fine Pres.
sets.
Tobacco Company Redeeming Tags
From Many Brands.

According to reports from theslocal
dealers in tobacco more people are saving
tobacco tags than ever before in the his
tory OF the giving ofpresents in exchange
for tobacco tags This tremendous ia
crease in tag saving is due to the action
OF the American Tobacco Company in
Offering q remarkable list of valuable
presents in return for tags from various
popular tobaccos.
Such brands as Old Peach, Old States
man, Pick, Tinsley's 1907, Old Honesty,
Byzantine, Sailors Pride, Tenpenny,
Natural Leaf and about dozen others,
bear tags which can be exchanged for
presents. An idea OF what can be accom-
plished by SO far-reaching a cooperative
system is gathered from such sample
offers as the giving Of an English Steel
Razor for only so tags.
Reports in the tobacco trade indicate
that dealers throughout the country are
laying in stocks of presents in order to
be able to meet the rising boom in tobac-
co tag saving. In places where the deal
ers are not supplied with presents, the
American Tobacco Company is redeem
ing by mail-tag-sav selecting the
presents they wish from q free catalog.

Back To The Farm.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record
If people keep going back to the
farm as they have started things will
loosen up little. For number OF
years laborers and even farmers
have been focking to the towns in
great numbers, thus cutting down
the supply OF farm products and at
the same time increasing the de-
mand. No wonder prices have been
high. Another thing is that we have
all been too extravaganza; a man
who was content with apair of shoes
costing $3.50 has been buying the
five dollar kind: it has been the same
with all his clothing and that ofhis
family. 1t was "come easy, go easy"
and the end was finally reached.
When we come down to economy we
will all be better off; we need not be
"stinty," but prudent and saving and
things will right themselves, for the
product of the soil is still here and
there is an abundance of money
which needs to be invested, not
thrown away in "riotous living"
