The Sow in FarrOw.

Nothing is so certain to produce a
small and Improbable litter of pigs
as to have the sow in farrow to share
her lot or bed with a pen of half
grown shoats or with other sows. In
summer she will go off to some Sc
Guided spot to make her bed and thus
escape the danger Of crowding. In
winter or early spring, however, she
cannot overcome the habit of hud-
ding up with the lot even up to her
time and thus endangeTing her Off
spring.
The thrifty farmer will provide
separate pens, or lots, and plenty
not too much-of straw and shelter
from rain. After the pigs are a week
old two or three sows may be run to-
gether. Of course, it takes more time
to water and feed the sows separated
this way, but it pays to do it.
1t is a great disappointment and
a real loss Of time and feed to have
your promising brood SOW turn up
with only n or two pigs. If it is
your fault you cannot make it up
this season, and by another the
golden opportunity may have passed,

COyetOuSneSS.

Covetousness is not natural TO
man-generosity is; but covetousness
mus st be excited by a special cause
as a given disease by a given miGsma;
and the essential nature of a material
for the excitement of covetousness Is
that it shall be a beautiful thing
which can be retained without a use.
The moment We can use our posses
sions to any good purpose ourselves,
the instinct of communicating that
use to other rises side by side with
our power. If you can read a book
rightly, you will wan others to heal
it; if you a enjoy a picture rightly,
you will want others to see it; learn
how to manage a horse, a plow, or a
slip, and you will desire to make
your subordinates good horsemen.
plowmen, or sailors; you will never
be able to see the fine instrument you
are master of abused: but once fix
your desire on anything useless, and
all the purest pride and folly in your
heart will mix with the desire and
make You at last wholly inhuman, a
mere ugly lump of stomach and suck
ers like a cuttlefish.-Ruskin.

Cremntions in England.

The movement in favor OF crema'
ton in England continues to make
slow but steady progress. During
1905 the number Of cremations car.
ried out in Great Britain was S55, ar
advance of sixty as compared with
1908. The first creHatorium in Eng
land was opened at Working in 1885
and the total number of cremations
since that time is S121. There are
now altogether thirteen crematoria
in Great Britain, and this number will
probably soon be increased. The Gre.
maticn Society of England has been
very active in its propaganda work
and public interest l. slowly being
aroused. Recently a cremation So
ciety was formed in Edinburgh. The
object of the society is to promote the
practice of cremation and burial re
form by means of meetings, lectures
and publications or otherwise. There
are already about 1870 members, in

Somewhat Complicated.

-Four customers had called that
morning. The dealer reflected that
the order by mail would necessarily
take time, so going to the long dis.
lance telephone he got his favorite
jobber on the wire. This converse
ton ensued:
"Hello! Is this the Retailers Sup
ply Company"
YES"

Eyes. What is your name?"
my name is Watt-Charles Watt"
"Ohi Charles Watt. Well, Watt,
send me this order on this Moons ex-
press" ,(IIere he reads order.)
"All right. Are you Schott?"

"Well, then, what is your name?"

"Why, won't you?"
"Uh! My name is VIII Knott, OF
Knoxville. 1 want that order sent
out on to-day's noon express, sure
certainly, Knott. Good-by."
And Knott went back to the coun.
ter wondering whether Watt said he
would or not or what.
But he got the goods.-San Fran

Retail Prices and Living Cost
By j. LAURENCE LAUGHLIN.

There can be little doubt that the
retail organization by which goods go
from the wholesaler to the co lsumer
is unnecessarily wasteful and expen-
sive. There are twenty butcher shops
and groceries in every neighborhood
where only Il is needed. Each must
spend much in advertising, in show
windows, in rents, il costly fixtures.
in telephones, in wages, in horses and
delivery wagons. which are not essen
tial to the total result. Five or six
wagons, with salaried drivers. distrib-
ute trifing quantities of goods to
houses in the same street. The con-
sumner pays for this waste in the mar
gin of retail w wholesale prices.
From 1890 to 1908, on an average,
wholesale prices have increased nine
per cent, while retail prices have in
creased sixteen per cent. The differ
ence between wholesale and retail
prices in particular cases, varies
from 1925 Fer cent. to 150-150 per
cent.
IL ~ oNOPo " Ie &c IL PIoSCSo
of retail buying it will be realized
that it is the seller only who practi-
cally sets the price. There is no true
retail market price. Busy or igno-
rant people pay what is charged them
without the patience or the power TO
select. In these days we pay for the
additional costs of dainty and attrac-
tive packages for cereals, crackers,
figs and the like. Indeed under the
cover of special tins an amount of an
article is sold at a price which makes
a pound cost two CIR three times as
much as formerly. The psychology
of the retail market is itself a study
of no mean interest. Habit, fancy,
caprice, rumor, emulation, gregarious
action of a set, may play a part. Once
a man gets established with a eli
entele he puts up his prices. He
charges all he can get, and the con-
fding customer goes on paying the
bills-until there rises a general cry
of high cost of living, like that of the
present day. There are different re-
tail prices for each half mile as n
passes from the centre of a city to its
outskirts. Yet some persons think it
demeaning to bargain or seek for
lower prices. To spend recklessly Is
an evidence of what some regard as
belonging to social position.
In the margin of the retail over
the wholesale price, in a community
not we'll shake- down into form,
there is an opportunity for serious
changes in the cost of living. Out Of
this margin the catalogue houses, the
wholesale grocery houses, the tea and
coffee houses, have accumulated great
fortunes-at the expense of the help
less consumer. Then what is the rem
edy? Obviously, the creation in eV-
cry neighborhood Of cooperative Sc
cieties for the distribution of goods
directly from the producer to the con-
sumner at actual cost-obviating the
waste of advertising, high rents and
useless duplication of service.-Scrib-
ler's MAGAZINE.

How to Serve Watermelon.

cause of quantities of deliciously
favored juice which they contain
a y Fannie Merritt Farmer, in Wom7
ans Home Companion. 1.-THE edible
portion is sometimes chilled, cut in
small cubes %(removing seeds),
sprinkled with powdered sugar, and
arranged in coupe glasses for the first
course at luncheon or dinner. For
family use it Is most attractively
served in one Of the following ways:
Cut a section three or four inches In
thickness from the centre of a chilled
watermelon. With 4 sharp knife cut
out a circle of the pink pulp (the
edible portion) and place upon a
chilled serving dish Of correct size.
Serve in pie-shaped pieces on chilled
plates, or cut off a thick slice from
both ends Of the melon (that the
halves may stand level) and cut in
halves crosswise. Arrange on a serV-
ing dish on a bed Of green leaves, If
any are at hand"

There is some waste, to be sure, when
bought at the butchers. but in the plan
here suggested you may buy the hnesl

Of which can be eaten. -,

Dieces-and corned and cooked 70 per-
lection in Libby's wonderful white ell;
amcl kitchens. A can of Libby's Corncd
Beef sliced and served cold with an
pickles and potato salad is a delightful
meal and will be enough for four people.
Corned Beef Hash.-Take the contents
of a can, chop fine, add one-fourth as much
boiled or baked potatoes, a little fried
onion and a small quantity of water. Cook
slowly until thoroughly heated, then serve

to the housewife in using it is that it is all

boiling which is necessary with raw corned
beef. The house is not filled with steam
and odors and valuable time is saved.

For Stained Fingers.

The days Of preserving briLg
stained fingers. Have you ever tried
using a weak solution Of oxalic acid
after preparing berries or discoloring
vegetables? 1t is a quick stain re-
mover.
AS the acid is a poison, label the
bottle plainly and keep away from
children. Where stains are under
.ingernails wrap a bit of absorbent
cotton on the end of an orangewood
stick and dip in the solution.
For minor stains lemon juice is
helpful. Run ends of fingers into
half a cut lemon.
Tomatoes will also remove stains,
especially those Of pairing potatoes or
other slight discolorations. A tomato
is a whitener and softens the hands.

Rushel of Corn and Butter.

Cows of fair quality only, such as
will make $50 to 800 pounds OF nut
ter per year, when properly fed make
three pounds of butter each busnel
Of corn or oats, when the two grams
are ground together and fed. Surely
that is a better market for corn than
when sold as grain is sold on the
market. Referring to this matter
Hoards' Dairyman says:
There never was n time when II
paid as good G profit as it does to-day
to feed a COW well. Think OF 1t.
Three pounds of butter in a bushel or
corn. That is nearly 81 worth OF

4 man be that will not turn grain into

BILE is that these farmers have not

Forty Acres and Independence.

I would exchange my age, money
and acres for youth and forty acres,
and think that l had the best of the
bargain; and I would start the fac
tory by planting ten acres of orchard,
buying two sows, two cows, and two
sitting hens. Youth, strength and
hustle are a great sight better than
money, and the wise youth can have
a finer farm than mine before he
passes the ~half-century mark, even
though he have but a bare forty to
begin with.
L do not take it for granted that
every man has even a bare forty:
but millions of men who have it not,
can have it by a little persistent self
denial; and when an a~ble-bodied man
has forty acres of ground under his
feet, it is up to him whether he will
be a comfortable, Independent, self
respecting man or not.-From THE
Fat of the Land" the story of an
American Farm, by John William

Prevention of Disease.

One of the greatest causes Of dis
ease among fowls is from lice and not
disinfecting the poultry houses prop
erly. 1 have never had a contagious
disease among my fowls. Eighteen
years ago l lost quite a number from
timber neck. l did not know the
cause then, but by sad experience
learned a lesson that has been worth
a great deal to me. I never allow
any dead chickens or any other kind
of flesh TO lay about where the chick
ems go. 1t is sure death to them if
they get maggots from any kind of
flesh.
For destroying lice and mites I fr-
migate my poultry houses with to-
bacco and sulphur. usually do this on
damp days. and is better if done once
a week. We not only believe it is
good for the fowls, but for people.
We have not had a spell of fever
since we have been fumigating with
tobacco, while so many of our neigh
bors have fever every year. This
promises to be the greatest year in
poultry business, yet in my exper-
fence have never known eggs as high
as they we're last winter. l have new
er had such 4 demand for eggs and
chickens; cant near supply the orders
for the last five OF six weeks. If you
want every mail to bring in orders
and inquiries advertise in Farmers
Home Journal and you will have ali

|, the floors were damp and full CT mud.
| holes that good drainage would have
prevented.
All fixtures in a hos house should
be movable. 1t is advantageous to
| have the troughs where they may be
washed or scalded out twice each
week at least. 1t should be borne in
mind that foul troughs are good
breeding places for parasites that may
be taken into the stomach and con-
veeted into worms. Damp floors may
be overcome if the house is we'll aired
and windows enough are in it to let
the sunshine in on the floors.
It is never best to allow dust to ac-
cumulate ON the partitions and in
| pens used for feed. 1t is always inju-
rious to the health of the hogs.
Those who are in the habit of feed
ing their hogs grain scattered in the
mud or dust Of a dry yard should
build a feeding floor and use it.. Go
into any herd that is fed in the dust
from thrown-down grain and much
wheeling and coughing will be heard.
This is bad on all hogs, and especially
those kept for breeding purposes.
In building afeeding floor it should
be set off the ground four to six
inches and built solidly Of good tim
Der. A two by four piece should be
nailed around the whole edge, which
will prevent lots of shelled OF ear
corn being pushed off into the dirt
and dust. The floor should be swept
off each time before feeding.-W. H.
Underwood, in the Indiana Farmer.
