FARM NOTES.

II costs no more to raise pound OF
poultry than 1t does to raise pound
of pork, yet the poultry sells at much
higher price than pork.
Breeding stock will do well ON good
pasturage with plenty of fresh water,
but hogs that are TO be marketed at
six months should also have some
grain.
The man who raises hogs in this
day and age has to be reading man,
and read up on his business. Why
not? II is so with other lines of
farming.
The whole secret Of intensive live
stock husbandry lies in the working
cut of the old adage of making two
blades of grass grow where formerly
only one grew.
Salt and common tobacco leaves and
stems will, 1t Is claimed, keep sheep
: from having stomach worms.
Remember that half-broken horse
Is not broken at all and is dangerous

It was all due to crowd OF Chris

women-which, I understand, Is the
Christian Endeavor fashion-and they
had come aboard at the last moment
from one OF their convention excursion
trains. There were dozen OF them,
and they had all been attending some
convention out west. Most OF the
lower berths had been engaged before
they reached st. Louis, but that fact
did not bottle up their music any.
For they were a singing crowd
They sang on the platform, while
waiting, with other delegates, for the
train to start. When We got under
way they all gathered in one end OF
the car and, after some more singing
they held a regular prayer meeting
Perhaps that wasn't polite; other pas.
sengers might have objected. But
guess most of us had Travelled IN cars
