A young man whose gallantry is in
excess of his means sought to remedy
this defect and to save the expense
of the money required for the pur
chase of flowers for his lady loves by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time, in
return for his castoff clothes. So it
happened that one day he received
bunch of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation of friendly well

AVOID RHEUMATISM IN HOGS
ing Animals to Sleep in Damp
and Filthy Quarters.

Rheumatism is commonly caused by
allowing hogs to sleep in damp, filthy
and improperly ventilated quarters
The system of ventilation should be
such that there will be no direct cur
rents of air striking the animals. The
sun should have free access to the
houses at all times. This will keep
the sleeping quarters in dry, sanitary
condition.
When affected with rheumatism. TIE
animals generally become unthrifty,
and fail to make proper use of their
feed, the appetite becomes dull, which
gives rise to the rough, scraggy coat
Prevention should be the first aim of
the owner and to accomplish this, the
yards, pastures and houses should be
made dry and clean. Damp bedding
and cold floors should be avoided. If
the hog house has cemented floor,
false wooden floors should be provided,
especially in the sleeping apartment of
the building
Other treatment is of little avail If
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

Public Slauqhter.

When cattle are condemned by the
tuberculin test they should be slaugh
tered in public, says the Stockman
This because the people are entitled
to study for themselves the question
of bovine tuberculosis and because
public slaughter will act as a check or
careless testing. No doubt some SOUND
cattle have been condemned by the
test because they were not in condi
ton to be tested. If it Is understood
before the test is made that those
condemned will be killed in public
testers will naturally be more careful
about this matter. There is lot tc
learn yet about tuberculosis and the
detection of it's dangerous forms. Pub
lie demonstrations can harm no one
and may help toward a better under
standing by all interests.

the background for embroideries
which are to be employed as house
decorations. Bedrooms and living
rooms for country houses are fur

the linen is used for bed hangings,
