CURED.

In fact the Harper House pharmacy
has a wonderfully efficient hair re-
storer called Partisan Sage which
costs only 80 cents bottle that is
guaranteed TO cure dandruff in two
weeks or money back.
Partisan Sage is the discovery of one
of the worlds greatest scientists, who,
knowing the value of sage as scalp
cleaner and hair restorer, combined it
with other ingredients in proper pro-
portions, and the result is the most
wonderful hair tonic in the world.
Partisan Sage is most pleasant,
daintily perfumed hair dressing, and
besides curing dandruff, your druggist
will return your money if it fails 20

1t will make hair grow, and women
who desire soft, beautiful and luxur-
liant hair can have it in two weeks by
using this famous, quick acting pre-
paration. The Harper House phar.
macy sells is under guarantee. You
take no risk.
Don't let any druggist tell you he
has something just as good as Paris

PRACTICAL HOG FEEDING
Mr. LOveoy Very Successful Swine Man. Points Out Difference
Care of Market and Breeding Stock

A. j. LovejOy of Roscoe, is one of
the most successful swine men of
Illinois, and the following notes are
Stock Breeders meeting in Urbana
and at the State Farmers institute in
Rockford:
The pig that is to be sold for meat
has but a few months to live, and
there should be no let-up in feeding
from birth. 1t will begin to eat
shelled corn at three or four weeks
or thick mush of7the same material
as that given the mother, is a great
help to hasten growth.
Well bred or even good grade pigs
should weigh 60 to 80 pounds when
weaned at three months of age, and
should then go on alfalfa, clover or
other fresh green pasture, and have
corn twice day. Late in the sum
mer there should be ready for them
a pasture of rape. field peas or soy
beans, besides the corn. If their
teeth become sore, change to shelled
corn, soaked "a hours in water.
slightly sailed.
Health Hints.
1t will pay to have a cool. shady
place where it is rather dark, if pos
sible, for the pigs to lie in during
the heat of the day, with free access
to mixture of salt, copperas, lime
and ashes. The feeder should watch
closely to see that every pig is eat
ing with a relish. If the pigs cough
1t is probably due to n dusty shed.
Worms will also cause n cough and
if the hair becomes starring and
dead in appearance it is well to give
a worm powder. Lice can be gotten
rid of by dipping and all of the
market dips can be improved by
adding crude oil or petroleum. The
pigs will be ready for market at any
age after six or eight months.
In raising hogs to be used as
breeders the object is very different.
They are not to go to market at six
to 10 months of age, but to grow on
to maturity. They should be pushed
for rapid growth, but must be fed for
growth of frame and bone: not
fattened on corn, but expanded by
feed rich in protein. At six, eight
or 10 months of age, they should
show more length of body and more
scale than the market hogs and be
smooth and well covered, but not
SO fat as for market.
The Feed for Muscle and Bone.
This can be very easily done by
feeding mixed grain ration with 10
per cent OF tankage or 10 per cent of
oil meal. Use corn, barley and oats
