Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a

issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
Of over $4,000 communicates Of
twenty denominations, and from 208
cities and towns in IL states in vari
GUS parts of the country, out of nearly
1900 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent, were caused by tuberculosis
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicates.
While the percentage Of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases Is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church

HEREFORDS WIN AS GRAZERS
Their Ability to Fatten on Grass Diet
Is Characteristic Which APP
peals to All.

There is no breed of cattle which
approaches the Hereford as grazers.
and their ability to fatten on a grass
diet of their own cleaning is char
acteristic which appeals to all who
are looking for the most economical
method of producing beef.
Extremes of weather, which will
cause other cattle to seek shelter or
shade does not deter the Hereford
from eating his fill; and the contrast
after an unfavorable season between
the Hereford and other breeds Is very
marked, writes August Haedecke in
the Northwestern Agriculturist.
The Hereford can be fattened at
any age with equal rapidity. Whether
baby beef or more mature product
is desired the Hereford will salts
factorily meet all requirements.
The impressiveness of the Here
ford sire, when used on scrubs or
native cattle, is quality which rec
ommends itself to breeders of every
section. The color, coat and mark
lngs are all ideal and all are trans
mitted by the sire to his offspring
making uniform bunch of animals
which will instantly attract the buyer
No dollhouse pampering is requisite
to fit the Hereford steer for market.
There is nothing capricious about his
appetite and all that is necessary is
to give him chance at the feed
trough.
The Hereford bull is of mild, even
temperament, not In the least excit-
able or cross, yet never overlooking
an opportunity to increase the number
Of his offspring. The cows are good
mothers and supply abundant milk
for their calves.

SCRUB HOG IS UNPR0FITABLE
Can Consume More Valuable Feed and
Give Less In Return Than Any
Other Farm Animal.
fBy w. G. WEsTCOTT.)

(By w. G. WESTCOTT.)
Possibly there Is no other farm anil
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
is an improbable animal any way you
take him.
AS an economical pork-producer he
is failure. Even his ability to shift
for himself does not recommend him
to the people within the limit of his
range, as he has the reputation Of
preying upon neighboring cornfields
when food is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living, since he is long
legged, narrow In the chest, has a
long, narrow snout This adapts him
to his manner Of living. With the
scrub hog 1t is root, hog. or die
hence the long snout. His narrow
body aids him in getting through
small fence-cracks and If he fails to
find place large enough to go
through the fence, he can soon dig
under with his long snout.
There is no standard Of excellence
for the scrub-hog, since he may pos

sess almost any form except beauti-
full one; he may be Of any color.
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re-
sist disease better than the improved
breeds of hogs. We very much doubt
whether this quality attributed to the
scrub hog is true, since we have no
ticed that hog cholera takes the scrub
as we'll as the we'll bred hog.
One thing is sure that the scrub
hog can consume more valuable feed
and give less in return than any other
animal that we know of.
A farmer who owns herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn
crib than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact If he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred hogs he would never own better
ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner SO poor that he is not able to
buy better stock. In fact, this Is the
excuse usually given for his exist
ence. Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear companions.
Both make rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there is not a
better evidence of the general progress
siveness of a people than the absence
of the scrub hog from community

Place to Stop Movement OF Crack 10
Where New Horn Is Being
Formed at Coronary Band.

The proper place to stop the move
ment of a cracked hoof is at the top
of the crack where the new horn is
being formed at the coronary band,
says the American Blacksmith. The
thing to do is to cut a groove down
through the horn on each side Of the
crack and about five-eighths to three
fourths of an inch from 1t, at the top,
and coming to point about one-half
inch down the hoof. This will form
