Pigpen Pointers.

Don't give your hogs too much
bran. Even when mixed with other
feed it is not very desirable for them.
1t is too bulky and contains too much
fibrous matter.
One of the best foods for pigs is
skinned milk and 'Injun" meal.
Never keep swine on a stone or ce-
ment floor in winter without provid-
ing plenty of straw for a warm bed.
A cold or damp floor at this time of
the year is very likely to cause rheu-
matism.
Avoid giving the brood sows too
much corn. 1t tends to make small,
weak bones.
Never change feed for swine too
abruptly. 1t is apt to disarrange
their systems.
Are you breeding sows that are
good feeders? If not, the milk supply
of their offsprings may be made
quate.
Don't try raising too many pigs un-
less you have got good blood to start
with. The boar is of as much conse-
quence as the SOW. Fred o. Sibley,

Marvellous Cycling.

Once again the conversation had

THAT reminds me OF an experience

member. II was riding a brakeless
bicycle down a steep hill. when all of
sudden the chain snapped and ca
reened down the rest of the hill
quicker than creased lightning.
THE road down the hill took a
turn at direct right angles, and in
the corner of the angle stood a cot
tage. l was wondering what the ver-
dict would be at the inquest when l
saw a man rest a plank of wood
against the caves of the cottage.
Il went straight for the plank, over
the roof and down the other side

Sheen on Shares.

Some time ago ] was asked as to
what would be a fair and Just con-
tract for a flock of sheep let out on
shares, writes f. p. Snyder, in Ohio
Farmer.
A half century ago letting sheep
for half the wool and half the in
crease was the common custom. II
was an exorbitant rate for the lessee
to pay and l knew of no farm enter
prise that would bring the owner Of
the sheep such a per cent. Of profit
as sheep let on such terms. The GUS
tom has been obsolete in this vicinity
for many years and has given way to
the practice of letteing for a term of
years-usually threat two pounds
of wool per head each year, the lessee
keeping the eve lambs to replnish the
flock and returning to the owner at
the expiration of the contract the
original number of choice young ewes.
These terms / believe to be fair
and at most nearly just to both par
ties. While two pounds of wool per
head each year may be considered
heavy rate of interest on the value
of the ews let, it must be remembered
that sometimes the sheep returned
are not worth as much as the ewes
let.
Just now good breeding ewes read.
lily bring from S6 to 81 per head;
three years from this time they may
not be worth half as much. Some.
times, however, they may be worth
more when returned than when let.
1t frequently happens that the flock
is allowed to deteriorate on account
of unskillful handling. l have FIRE.
quently had that experience myself.
once bought fifty ewes at $3.50
per head, letting them all out to the
same man. He knew little about
sheep and seemed to care less. They
came back in a terrible plight, and
offered to sell them at fifty cents per
head, but got no takers. Besides be-
ing very thin they had contracted foot
rot and were a pitiable sight.
cured them of the foot rot, fed them
up and made them quite respectable
flock, but besides the labor they lost
me plenty of money
I don't advise taking sheep on
shares. The man who does it pays
a good rate of interest. Better have
a proprietor's interest. Buy a few
good ewes, breed to a pure-bred ram
of the same breed. Keep only the
very best eve lambs, give them the
best care and you will soon own a
flock to be proud of. But 1 have
known men to start a flock by taking
a few sheep on shares who never.
would have had sheep in any other
way. They made no mistake. Don't
think, though. that the path of the
man who let's sheep is all strewn with
flowers. Sometimes it is mighty
rough and thorny.

Growing Sound Horses.

Illinois has taken a step forward in

that State passed law prohibiting
owners from standing stations for
public service without a certificate of
soundness from some licensed veter-
marian. AS like produces like, the
inhibition of unsound stations from
the breeding ranks of the horse in
dustry of Illinois will greatly assist
breeders in improving the quality and

States have stallion inspection laws

The Earthquake Wave.

Seismologists say that every great
earthquake causes pulsations which
extend for thousands OF miles in all
directions on the globe, and one emil
nent authority has likened such pull
sations to the long low swells that
sweep across the ocean. Not long
ago an attempt was made to meas
ure the heighth and length of the
waves of an earthquake that occurred
in Greece. the pulsations of which
were perceived by the aid of spe-
cially constructed pendulum at Birm-
ingham in England. The pulsations.

The Cow Stable.

One of the best methods of man.
aging the COW stable is to scatter
about a pint of phosphate every day
in the gutter behind every COW, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Sprinkle little
at the bottom of the gutter so it will
come in contact with the urine and
the balance on top just before hauling
out of the stable. Sprinkle it also
in the calf stables, hog pens an poul-
try roosts. Hogs were found eagerly
eating it when sprinkled on their
sleeping floor. This would seem to
indicate that they felt the need of this
element in their food. Phosphate en-
ters into the economy of all bodily

port of the brain and nervous system.

Temper in Young Babies.

In some children of eight months
or more there appears occasionally a
display of violent temper which is
hard to control. In such paroxysm
of rage a child will destroy anything
within his reach, screaming. in the
meantime, at the top of his lungs.
The only thing for the mother to do
is to keep him as still and as quiet
as possible. If he persists in yelling,
pick him up and carry him to a quiet
place whittier there is nothing he can
iniure-and leave him there. To be
in solitude is the very best medicine
for him at such a time. Striking him
or furnishing him in some manner is
rarely successful in quieting him. If
a child is quieted in such a manner. it
Is almost as bad as to leave him in a
state of anger, for the emotion of fear
has only been substituted for the emo
tion of anger-and there is little
gained for the child. If mothers
were only more honest with them
selves in this respect. it would be
better for them as we'll as for their
children.
How many women excuse their own
hasty temper with the thought that
they had only the child's welfare at
heart, queries a writer in Dressma-
king at Home? The truth of the mat
ter was that they, themselves, were
overcome with anger for the time
being and lost control of themselves.
No calm and loving mother will strike
her child.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Egg Composition.

Some years ago Professor James
Dryden delivered an address before
the Utah Farmers Institute, from
which this extract is worthy of re-
publication.
A short study OF the composition
of wheat and OF eggs will explain
why a profitable egg yield cannot be
expected from wheat alone. Suppos-
ing you feed a hen which weighs 3.5
pounds, 1926 ounces of wheat "a day.
OF course a hen OF that weight would
not long consume that weight of
wheat alone. Supposing. further.
that the hen uses 2.75 ounces of that
for the maintenance of the body;
that leaves half an ounce TO be con-
verted into eggs. assuming that all
the food is digested, which OF course
Is not the case. In half an ounce OF
wheat there Is about .06 OF an ounce
of protein. So that, assuming that
the hen consumes and digests ass
ounces of wheat per day. and that
she uses 2.75 ounces OF that for
maintainance OF the body, there is
available each day just one-fourth
enough protein for an egg. In other
words, 1t will take four days to get
the necessary amount OF protein for
an sgg. But the egg has other con-
