Dirty troughs and floors will quickly
throw the hogs out of condition.
From the first of April to the last
Of May is the best time to do your
Matching.
By feeding his corn to hogs the farm
er saves the hauling and prevents the
loss of fertilizers.
| To attempt to fatten sheep affected
with lice or scab Is to court loss and
possible disaster.
Paralysis in young pigs is brought
about by too heavy feeding. Take
away the corn and feed only milk and
bran.
The hog having a variety Of food
will thrive and maintain healthy ap-
pearance much longer than one kept
on single food ration.
| A low down knee is desirable In q
horse, enabling the animal to make q
long stride more quickly than when
the knee is set higher up.
Never give young pigs more at one
feed than will be eaten up clean, but
enough to give contentment. The pigs
should come to feed next time with a
rush.
| 1t is estimated than the cost Of main
tanning 100 breeding ewes in good con-
dition is 81 per day, or l cent per
head, when kept on corn fodder, beets
and oats.
Keep picked up around the home
stead, and around the stock buildings
too. Nothing is SO sure an index Of
the character of the farmer as the
condition of the grounds about his
place.
Breeders like to have sheep with
plenty OF meat on the under part OF
the body. A thick dock and thick
strong neck are also necessary. by
which can be Judged the amount Of
muscle along the back.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has been comparing the cost Of produc
ton of mutton and beef. One hundred
pounds Of gain was made by wethei
lamb on 3S4 pounds of corn, 298 pounds
of corn fodder and 80 pounds of po
tatoes. To produce 100 pounds Of gair
in steer required 894 pounds Of corn
1856 pounds Of bran and e45 pounds Of
silage.
The fellow who said that the thirt
move is as bad as fire evidently hat
good roads in mind when he spoke
There are some stretches Of road II
parts Of the country nowadays wher,
even one move would be worse than {
fire. In this case you would have ,
bad lot Of klndling wood on hand
which in case Of a fire would have beel
prevented.
Angora goats are profitable. whel
the mohair is Of good length and cleal
II commands ready sale at goot
prices, but short, dirty mohair is nevel
readily salable. This fact has lei
many to become discouraged in keep
ing goats, since they believe 1t to bt
impossible to keep them clean. Thi:
is not true, as the experience Of many
good goat raisers has proven.
Paint preserves the wood, and It pay
to put 1t on a building whenever need
ed. There is no economy in letting tn,
house or barn 60 without paint. TIL
lumber will soon rot or warp and hav
to be replaced at two or three time
the cost Of paint necessary to have pre-
served it. The farmer had bette

dollars for repairing his buildings.
Proper Feeding of Pigs.
There Is difference between grow
ing and fattening pigs. During tn
early period of pigs life the fee
should be moderate in quantity an
bone and muscle building in quality
Young swine should not be kept IA

Business Light

February was the lightest month at
the land Office for a long time. About
half the usual business was transacted.
This is always a dull month, however,
and this year with two holidays,
Lincoln's and Washineton's birthdays,
and four Sundays, there are but 22
working days in the month This
accounts to some extent for the small
amount of business handled. !

New SaddIery Firm

John Rattan and F. J.. Dickinson
have entered into a partnership under
the firm name of Rattan Saddlery Co.
and are opening for business in the store
recently vacated by Smith & Evans, one
door east of Soules & Buffers hardware
store.
John Ratten was engaged In the
harness and saddlery business in this
city IL years ago. The country was little
developed then and he went away. He
came back from Miles City to the city
Of his first choice. In fact, Nh. Rattan
says that he does not know how he came
to leave as good a place as Dickinson.
and it has always been his desire to
return at the first opportunity.
Mr.. Rattan is a thorough workman and
knows just how saddles and harness
should be put up for use in this country.
He has spent his whole life in the
business, having served at the trade in
Texas, California and Montana, and
there is no reason why he should no do
we'll here. His partner, F. ]. Dickinpon.
is well known to many Of the PRESS
readers as a straight, clean cut business
man, and enterprises in which he il
engaged are usually successful.
At present the shop is undergoing re-
pairs and will be in shape the coming
week for the new stock which will arrive
from the cities. -
John Rattan states that his wife and
youngest daughter will come to Dickin-
son from Miles City as soon as he can
find suitable quarters. The eldest
daughter, known to the PRESS readers
in this city II years ago. is attending
school in Fort Worth, Texas.

Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen-
tic author Of "Nrewhon," which
means Nowhere" and Of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, Is
now more read than during his life
time. He died In 1902. In n Of his

must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:
Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippopota-
mus cage when a little boy and girl,
aged four and five, came up. The hip
%popotamus shut his eyes for a minute.
