The other day we read Of little
child that could just toddle getting
hold of and sucking down some thirty
headache tablets, the kind that stop
the pain because of the poisons they
contain. The baby went into convul-
sionS and died
A reader Of these notes who is in
terested in hotbeds inquiries about the
efficiency of the double pane hotbed
sash and would he pleased if any Of
our readers could give our inquirer
some light on the subject.
One Of the best focks of hens for
winter laying that we ever saw was
turned out on pile Of litter on the
south side of a barn when the weather
was not too severe and made to
scratch for their grain ration. In this
way the hens got two essentials, exer-
else and fresh air.
There is no mill so good for grinding
corn for young pigs or so cheaply oper
ated as the strong jaws and sound
teeth nature provided them with.
Moreover, when corn is ground in this
way it is properly mixed with saliva,
and there is no boiling of the food, as
time is taken to masticate it.
Before adopting buttermilk as
health potion calculated to enrich the
blood and build up shattered nerves
1t will be we'll for the patient to in
quire whether such milk is sterilized
before it is drunk, as it may be laden
with tuberculosis, which would make
the "last end of the man worse than
the first
In order that patrons may have their
purchases strictly fresh, proprietors Of
fish markets in some European cities
sell fish alive, their customers select
ing their fish as they swim within
sight in tank. This practice takes
account of the fact that the shorter
the time between water and frying
pan the more delicious fish is.

Owing IT, I, TOO dry condition of the
soil ut seeding time al unsatisfactory
and poor stand Of grain often results
where the broadcast system of seed
ing is used The disk drill overcomes
this difficulty by putting the seed at
an even depth in soil that is moist,
thus insuring perfect termination and
an even stand. The saving in seed
when this method is employed is about
20 per cent.
In the oleo-butter controversy which
is on and likely to be brought up for
consideration in congress at the pres
ent session justice would seem to de-
mand that cleo be made to stand on it's
own feet and not be allowed to mas
querade in any guise for creamery or
dairy butter. Were human nature diff
ferent oleo might even be allowed to
be colored without working injustice
If it were always sold for oleo, but
once let it be colored and some CRATER
will palm it off on unsuspecting GUS
toners as butter and get butter prices
for it.
The old time idea in the raising Of
hogs was to keep them confined in
close quarters and stuff them with
corn and small grain and sour swill.
This idea, fortunately for the pigs, is
giving way to q new and better meth
cd, including wider range, with rape,
clover or alfalfa pasture during the
water and such t0nics as are needed to
keep the system in the best condition.
The adoption of the new method Of
care has not only meant health and
comfort for the hogs, but increased
profits for the owner.
A friend who buys much fur-chiedy
mink. skunk and rat-states that the
trapper loses much by taking mink be-
fore Dec. /, when they are in what is
called "unprime" condition. Such pelts
do not fetch within 81 to So apiece
what they would if they were classed
prime The only thing that would pre-
vent a carrying out Of this sensible
suggestion would be that the average
trapper would rather get So for an IN
prime skin than have his neighbOr take
It later when prime and get IS or Sc
for it. A law prohibiting trapping be-
fore the date mentioned would remedy
this difficulty, however.
