Benefit Land and Renter.

The renting OF land on short leases,
according to w. J. Spillman, agri.
culturist in charge of farm manage
ment, bureau of plant industry, Wash
ington, for the purpose of growing
grain for market. is one of the surest
means of reducing the productive
power of the soil; but the domestic
animal. with well-managed pastures
and rational systems of crop rotation,
is prominently adapted to the devel-
opment OF permanent systems of
profitable farming. Landowners must
take steps to improve renting meth
DDS by stocking farms with a full
complement of domestic animals, and
by giving longer leases, whereby the
renter may reap the reward of intelli
gent management.

Why Do They.

Why women like the ~baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when IL
comes to him, as it is a sign Of &C.
dateness and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

In raising pigs there are several
things, very essential, which are diff
cult to secure in the right degree in
the winter time, and which sometimes
make the winter litter rather costly.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
and they must have it for their eco
nomical growth. This has been fully
demonstrated by the experiment sta
lions in the different fattening trials.
The cost of the grain in several in
stances was almost double with out
side feeding as compared with a warm
shelter. all other things being as near
ty equal as vas possible.
Warmth is even more of a neces-
sity to the sucking pig, and to OBJ
tain that warmth and give the little
fellow sufficient amount of exercise
Is where the difficulty comes in.
1t is an easy matter to make the
bed warm enough, but as soon as the
pig leaves the nest for exercise u in
the open, it becomes chilly and soon
returns to the warm bed. Not taking
exercise sufficient to keep it from be-
coming too fat, thumps follow and
death ensues. An abundance of exer-
else is necessary to avoid the thumps
In young pigs when they are getting
all the milk and other foods they can
eat.
In raising winter pigs there are
six really very important things to be
taken into considerations: Warmth,
exercise, good feed, ventilated quar-
ters, sunshine and good blood.
In order to have these a warm and
quite roomy building, which will make
ventilation easier and allow the pigs
to play without going out in the open
Is necessary. When the weather is

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

My mother used to have a very bad
humOr on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it I had two
different DOCTORS. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
Of s~eventy-four.
My W case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought I would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

RAISING FUEL
FOR HOUSEHOLD
Systematic Planting and CuItiva.
ton OF Forest Trees Is Branch
OF Agriculture Yet in
Infancy.

(By r. B. BUCKHAM. Salem, Mass.)
If properly handled, can be made to
yield the necessary fuel for the house
hold, from year to year., and yet main
tain an average growth, or even in
crease in value.
The tree growth Of the woodlot
should be encouraged in every possible
way. All dead wood should be con-
scientiously removed and added to the
%woodpile. 1t will serve we'll as excel
lent kindling, at least, and does away
with n Of the chief sources Of dis
ease among growing wood. 1t has
been proven that a very large per-
centage of all the ailments Of forest
trees arises from the decaying dead
wood lying about them.
Thinning correctly is a second re.
quisite to making the woodlot most
profitable. Where the standing growth
is too close, all are compelled to suf-
fer for the lack of air and light.
Hence some a we'll be removed, to
the benefit Of the remainder.
""OA Oil 0ASd u any
has been laid bare, it should be re-
seeded Immediately, if the second
growth does not start satisfactorily.
1t Is as poor economy to allow parts
of the woodlot to lie idle, as any other
portion of the farm.
The increase of the more valuable
trees should be encouraged. such as
the oak. pine, hickory and ash. Some
trees are Of no value, ave as stove
wood. and are poor, wen at that.
Yet, strange enough, at the start they
are the most vigorous, and always sue
coed at making the most rapid growth
at the start; thus holding their own at
the expense of their competitors.
There are weeds among trees. a well
as among plants.
Forest tracts are Indispensable to

sufficiently warm they should be out
of doors as much as possible, es-
pecially when the sun shines. Plenty
of sunshine is the greatest d~isinfectant
and in%vigorator known.
Some years ago l had a couple OF
filters come early in the winter. The
weather was very cold and for want
OF a better place to keep them than
the one in which they were farrowed,
l penned up a little corner of the COW
stable in which were kept at night
80 head of cattle. The building was
80 by so feet. and when closed at
night with the cattle in it was quite
comfortable. This proved to be al.
most an ideal place for the pigs.
They were given fresh bedding
every night and a fresh supply of bed
ding put in every day. Those pigs
grew exceedingly fast.
Under ordinary farm conditions it is
a doubtful proposition to attempt to
raise many winter pigs with good re-
suits, but under special conditions a
few filters may be made profitable.
The greatest obstacle is to provide
enough warm space for the pigs to run
about freely without becoming chilled
for lack of sufficient sunshine.
Scours and thumps often cause very
serious losses among young pigs. The
former is caused usually by over-feed-
ing, by providing badly spoiled feed,
by an abrupt change of ration or by
a change in feed that affects the milk
of the dam. The latter is generally
brought about by overlooking and
lack of exercise.
An illustration is shown herewith of
a Poland-China SOW with her litter of
pigs. This breed put on fat rapidly,
are docile and easily handled.
