The Value of the Dream.

A pillow-dream is a night-adventure
of your subconscious self. You wan
der without volition in a weird world
and come back with a tantalizing and
fleeting recollection of fantastic per
sons and impossible situations. The
metaphysical mystery of this sort of
dream has never been cleared, but 1t is
certain that the fruits gathered in
these sunless excursions are of doubt
ful flavor and quickly perishable. For
tunately, we are capable of dreams
which are not observation-disclosures
which are best dreamed when the
spine Is vertical and every fiber OF
mind, soul and heart vibrant and vital
On these occasions we are in the clasp
of our best mood-the mood of con
cept and creation. The wine of this
mood is red like blood and the reeul-
tant intoXication is the holiest expert
ence Of which we are capable. In its
high hours the soul Is never maudlfn
or fuddled; it grips life strongly and
deals with it in divine fashion, whip
ping its fugitive elements into orderly
submission, compelling them to as
sumo a useful steadiness like that OF
the dependable planets which can be
found nightly at given point in the
heavens.-Metropolitan Magazine.

sToPPAGE OF THE TEAT.

DR.. David Roberts, Wisconsin
State Veterinarian, says that very
common trouble In the ordinary dairy
Is to find an animal with the point OF
the teat closed, either due to bruise
of the teat itself or to infection of the
milk duct which causes a little scab
to form over the point of the teat
and unless this is properly handled
with care and cleanliness, the infec-
tion is apt to cause loss of the en-
tire quarter.
The proper manner In which to
handle and treat such cases is to
thoroughly wash the teat in an anti
septic solution, then dip teat plug
into a healing ointment and insert 1t
into the point of the teat, allowing
same to remain from one milking to
another. In this manner closure OF
the point of the teats can be over
come in a very simple and satisfac-
tory way.
Never use a milking tube IL 1t can
be possibly avoided, as there is much
danger of injecting the entire quar-
ter by the use of the tube.

Farmers viii Organize.

The farmer has not heretofore organ
lied, as has every other industry in
the country, for his own defense. But
If, by any act, either legislative or
boycotting, he finds that he will not
be treated squarely, you will certainly
hear from him. He Is able to organ
ize his forces into one of the most
formidable bodies in this country. His
work in that direction is already under
way. BY your action in boycotting
his product you will give renewed
grounds for strong agricultural or
ganization. When that has been ac-
complished he viii meet you in the
boycotting business, and when the far
mer is stirred up to the defense of his
rights you will find him the best boy
cotter on earth. He is used to hard
ships, used to rigid economy, and he
has a decided advantage over the rest
of the world in that he can get along
without replenishing his stock of what
he purchases from the world for an in.

along three days without that which
his labor produces.-Senator McCom-

The Flowing Tide.

If the Democrats carry the house in
1910, they will carry the Presidency
in 1912. Let there be no mistake
about that A current which would
give the Democrats the house this
year would have enough force left to
give them the Presidency two years
hence. If the Democrats win the
house in the approaching campaign,
there will be scramble for the Dem
ocratic Presidential candidacy in 1912
such as has not been seen in many a
day, and Mr.. Taft need not be sur
prlsed when the notification comes to

THE PROBLEM OF DRAINAGE.

1t Is absolutely necessary that your
country property be capable of good
drainage, and 1t is equally necessary
that 1t gets such drainage. This does
not always demand hillside, or even
much of q slope, but for health and
for tillage alike it is an absolute re-
quisite; without health you had far
better be in the city. There are To-
cations also which become undesir-
able because they take the wash Of
neighbors' drains. The law will
hardly protect you in such a case, and
IL 1t does, lawing is the last thing
that you wish to engage in. I would
make sure not to buy my way into a
quarrel.
Involved in this drainage problem
is, once more, that of soil wash.
Many of our hillsides are being de-
nuded of all valuable dirt, and fertil-
izers are swept away as fast as they
are applied. Look out for this, of
course, in your purchasing; that is,
select your property with a clear
vision and a certain knowledge as to
its being easily drained, and not too
easily washed. In future articles this
subject will come up for careful dis
cussion.-E. P. Powell, in Outing.

PIG PASTURE.

Hogs now command such good prices
and indications are that they will
command high prices for long time,
If not indefinitely, that it pays to
keep several brood sows and raise
all the hogs that the farm will con-
veniently accommodate. Says a
writer in Journal of Agriculture:
Hogs are high in price, but feeds,
too, are high, and are likely to re-
main so, hence the feed supply in
growing hogs, or any other animals.
is a problem which must interest all
farmers. There is profit on finishing
eight-cent hogs on sixty-cent corn,
yet the margin of profit is not very
large, unless the hogs during their
earlier period were grown on some
forage and cheaper feeds than grain.
Every farmer who makes much
money on hogs must have a perma-
nent SOW and pig pasture, and also
utilize temporary pastures at differ
ent seasons for his swine. The per-
manent pig pasture is necessity,
and the better it is made the more
clear profits there will be in growing
them. On the S0-acre farm five or
more acres may profitably be set
aside for permanent SOW and pig pas
ture, and this area should be divided
into at least tive nearly equal areas
for the health Of the swine and the
good of the grasses grown for pastur-
age. The larger the number of swine
kept, of course the greater the area
must be used for pasture.

CREEP FOR THE LAMBS.

To hasten growth, lambs must have
bran, oats and maybe a very little
corn In addition to their mothers
milk. This extra feed may be given
in a small pen or room adjacent to
the general feed lot and connected
with 1t by means of a creep or open
ing large enough for the lamb but not
large enough for a mature sheep.
The feed for the lambs must be
placed in trough covered to keep
out rain In an open lot to prevent
the lambs getting into 1t and soiling
the feed.-Farmer Home Journal.
