You needn't be afraid.

One day a lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury of the old-fashioned
Virginia home was invited to visit the
kitchen of a great Chicago hotel. She
wanted to go, but was afraid. When
asked why, she replied, I'm afraid I'll
see something that will forever destroy
my appetite for hotel food" She went,
and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled.
If you took a handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches a single grain Of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
This wonderful food is sold in three
kinds of packages The regular package
at 10c The large size family package
at 25c, and the large size family package
containing fine piece of table china

Government Cannot cooperate.

Washington.-The attorney general
has rendered an opinion to the secre-
tary of the interior in relation to the
validity of cooperative agreements be-
tween the government and individuals
or associations under the reclamation
act, holding that such agreements are
not contemplated or authorized by the
act in question. This opinion, it is be-
lieved, will result in having the con-
tract abrogated which was entered
into between former Secretary Garfield
and the Grand Valley Water Users AS
sociation for the joint construction of
the Grand valley project in Colorado.
Before taking final action Secretary
Ballinger will give Senators Guggen-
helm and Hughes and the representa-
tives of the Water Users Association
who are here further opportunity to
be heard in the matter.

GRINDING CORN FOR THE HOG.
Some Breeders Claim II Docs Not Pay,
While Others Think It Good
Investment.

Authorities disagree as to the advis-
ability of grinding the corn. some feed
ers claiming that it does not pay for
the cost and trouble of grinding. while
others think that 1t does pay well. says
A. ]. Legg in Farm Magazine.
My experience is that some hogs
will chew corn well, while others will
not break half the grains. Usually a
young hog will chew its food better
than an old one. l fattened hog
last year on dry corn. but not one-half
of the grains were broken.
Where hog will not chew its food
we'll. l think it will pay to grind its
feed.
Hogs will not chew wheat we'll, and
no hog will chew buckwheat we'll, so
these grains should always be ground
before feeding to hogs.
If corn is shelled, and scattered on
a floor or on the ground so that the
hogs will have to pick it up one grSin
at time. they will chew it better
than when the whole ears are thrown
to them.

CLEANLINESS IN THE FEED.
Feeding Floors Which Are Kept Free
from Dust or Mud Are Indis-
pensable.
Copyright, 1909

Copyright 1909
The hog responds as quickly to
cleanliness and care as any farm ami
NAL. Not long since l was greatly
impressed with the lack of sanitary
conditions around the yards and
houses of man who had been grew
ing hogs more or less successfully for
ten years, writes A. d. Burhaus.
His feeding troughs were foul with
decayed food. The floors were damp
and ill-smelling and the yards were
damp and full of mud holes that good
draiaage would have prevented.
All fixtures in hog house should
be movable. 1t is advantageous to
bave the troughs where they may be
washed or scalded out twice each
week, at least Foul troughs are good
breeding places for parasites that may
be taken into the stomach and con-
verted into worms.
Damp floors may be overcome if the
house is well aired and windows
enough are in it to let the sunshine in
on the floors.
Do not slop the swill into the bed
ding or on the floors at feeding time.
