Most Profitable Farm Animal.

Opinion is divided and probably al
ways will be on the question which is
the most profitable farm animal to
raise. Many believe the horse brings
the greatest profit, others tie their
faith to the beef breeds. and still 9TH
ers to the dairy breeds of cattle, but
it seems that the friends of the hog
are In the majority A hog requires
more care at times than do some
other animals. but il is wonderfully
prolific, and if the quality and breed
ing are right 1t is easy to make a
market for the animals produced, and
the farmer has the advantage of turn
ing his money over more rapidly and
more profitably in hog breeding than
in perhaps any other Kind of animal
production. OF course, there are
many risks to assume, as the modern
hog is a purely artificial product and
subject to humors and diseases which
would not come to it in its wild state.
The investment of a moderate sum of
money in n few brood sows in the
spring Will make a man a hog breeder
within a year: whether bred as spe-
cialty or as side line. the hog always
gives a good account of himself

INecrs.nE TIC Cow.

The cost of keeping n COW varies
considerably according to the cost of
producing the roughage from hay,
grain and corn feeds. but figures from
dairy associations place the average
cost at $50 or $50 a year To pay a
profit. it follows that the COW must
produce more than $50 or $50 year.
1t pays to keep an accurate account
with all the COWS There are many
that do not near pay up. Apply the
test of scales and Babcock tester then
and get rid of those that do not come
MP to the mark.
In buying new cows. procure those
that freshen in the fall You will
have the butterfat at the time when
prices rule higher and the COW VIII
continue in good flow all through the
spring if you treat her we'll through
the winter. Increase the feeding as
the pastures decrease. Extra care and
feed in the fall will keep the milk
flow up and allow of good sales as the
prices increase.
After years Of observation the Cor
nell University reaches these conclu-
sions: ID With a fairly good herd
carefully fed and kept, milk can be
produced for CO cents cwt, and fat
for 16 cents a pound, for the cost of
food consumed. Large animals con
sumo less pounds of dry material per
] 900 Ib. live weight each day than the
smaller animals do. The best yields OF
rat are obtained from COWS that give
fairly large flow of milk. Pasture
grass is the cheapest milk and fat pro
ducing food (From this II seems that
those who neglect their pastures o.
make little effort 10 start new ones. are
in losing game) The COW consum-
ing the most food produce both fat
and milk at lowest rate. A good cow
must be a hearty eater. individuals
of the same breed vary more widely
in milk and butter production than
do the breeds themselves.-The Ohio

PIGS Need PhGSnhafe

The relation of phosphate to the
animal economy was finely worked out
by the Wisconsin Experiment station.
Three pens of pigs of three each were
kept for several months. To one was
fed the ordinary fattening ration; to
another a little phosphate was added
to their food; with the third all the
phosphate was extracted from their
feed. The effect was astonishing. The
pigs to which was given an increased
portion, though small, of phosphate,
were wonderfully thrifty and vigorous.
while those that ate the ration from
which the phosphate had been extract
ed were dumpish. and not able to
stand on their feet for a minutes
time Their growth and weight was
also greatly retarded Our soil, ami
mails and crops need this important

losing their color.
When peeling an onion the eyes will
be less affected If one peels from the
stem end upward.
Hardly nay better dusling cloth can
be found than the old-fashioned red

If an oven is too hot, the temp. ra-
ture may be lowered by opening the
lid of the range a trif1e.
When making PANIED oysters it is
essential to have the pan piping hot
before putting anything into it.
Silver should be boiled occasionally
in water in which a small lump of
washing soda has been dissolved
Most housekeepers are agreed that
better work can be accomplished by

Always keep two large sponges for

goods and furs when putting them
away for the summer. 1t keeps moths

III bread is wrapped in paraffin
paper as soon as it is taken from the
oven 1t will keep fresh and moist much
longer.
A pinch of salt and soda added to
water in which tough meat or vege-
tables are boiled will make them more
tender.
Scorehed fireproof dishes should be
soaked in strong borax water. This
will quite remove the unsightly brown
stains.
When boiling fresh potatoes try
putting a sprig of mint in the water
TO give a delicious flavor to the vege-
cables.
Fresh meat may be kept for several
days by sprinkling a little salt on it.,
and then wrapping it in a cloth wet
with vinegar

Pithy Poultry l'ickings.

Poultry for profit demands good
quarters and good feed.
Oats are not the best nor cheapest
food for poultry.
AS a rule, the hens with the largest
combs will prove to be the best lay
ers.
Wheat can't be beat as a poultry
feed. but corn should be fed with il
to supply the starchy food needed.
Make a grain mixture of corn,
wheat, oats and kaffir corn and feed
two quarts to forty fowls every night
and morning. If you haven't all CT
these use what you have.
Cover the floor of your poultry
house With a straw litter foot deep,
and throw the grain in this and let
the fowls work for it. The hen is
happiest when busy and the busy hen
is the healthy and laying one.
II is a hard matter to distinguish
the sex of guinea fowls. Some author
ities claim that the male chatters in
a quick manner, while the female
gives off a sound like 'otrack'' or Joe
Pratt" or "buckwheat." The male
gives a sound similar to a Screech
turned into laugh.
Make a dry mash of 100 pounds Of
bran. 30 pounds of cracked corn, so
pounds of ground alfalfa, 80 pounds
of dry beef scraps, % pounds of lin
seed oil, 10 pounds of charcoal and
> pounds of salt Keep this mash in
a hopper where your fowls can get all
they want of it at any time Supply

MUST RETURN TO FARM.
The Only Remedy, Pastor TaImagc
Says, for High Prices.

The Only Remedy, Pastor TaImage
Says, for High Prices.
Preaching upon the laws of Bible
Finance" Rev Frank De Witt Talmage,
pastor of the Charlottesville Presby-
terrain Church, Philadelphia. declared
that the high prices Of food could pri-
marily be traced to the fact that Amer
leans no longer remained on the farms.
He said in part:
The great trouble about the world
to-day is too many men do not want
to work. They are afraid of the cal
lous hand and the rough clothes of the
laborer. They want to be gentlemen.
To be gentlemen, they think. they
must do differently from what their
fathers did The result: The men
who gave to this country the sterling
worth which it has are gradually pass
ing away.
Do you know why this cry of high
prices for food has come? / will tell
you. 1t is true that the trusts might
for time hold the prices up. but only
for little while at the most. The
reason we have high prices for food
is because the strong American pa
triots, who were once the great food
producers of this country, have left
the farm. Those farms are now being
taken by the ignorant foreign emil
grants, who hardly know the differ
ence between the right hand and the
left. What is to be the outcome? I'm
less the American people send. their
best blood back to the farm this coun-
try is doomed.
Go almost anywhere you Will, and
you can find that what l say is true.
There are thousands of farms in this
country which can be bought for the
price of the buildings on their land.
Why? Because the men who have
been on those farms were too ignorant
to run them. If the American boy is
willing to make the same preparation
in the great agricultural schools to fit
himself for his life's work upon the
farm, as he would study to fit him
self for the law or medicine, not only
would he earn for himself substan-
tial livelihood, but more than that
he would be one of the great producers
of whom our country is so much in
need
James Hill has just sounded forth
this warning: Back to the land is
the cry of all thinking men. Yet the
men and the women will swarm into
these large cities. where they are not
needed, and leave the farms of this
country empty of those men who made
this nation what ii is.
