PIG FEEDING EETHODS.
Importance of Water and Exercise In
Gettind Results,

Keep your pig Oh his feet sufficiently
after il meal till lie has diceSted his
food in his stomach. says Professor
Dietrich of the Illinois experiment sta
ton. That means to give him exercise.
Keep your pig running around in the
barnyard picking over manure. Make
him run to the back end of the farm
looking for more food. 1t Is not good
practice to feed him all he will eat
anyway Keep him hungry so he will
keep awake.
Water is of greater importance than
dry feed-corn, for instance. 1t costs

While there is some evidence tending
to show that silage fed steers do not
possess quite as firm flesh as those dry
fed on hay or corn fodder, there is at
the same time no evidence tending to
show that silage fed steer brings any
less when fitted for market than one
given the dry feed. This! is question
that may have arisen in the minds OF
many who are about to build silos for
dairy and stock feeding purposes.

pruned during the winter or early

pruning should be deferred until mid

The writer has had occasion of late
to make inquiry into the rating of
some young men who have been desir-
GUS of securing loans of banking
houses, and it is interesting as well as
instructive to note some of the factors
which the Average banker takes into
account before extending a loan.
Among these may be mentioned the
amount of money which the prospec-
tive borrower has saved-in other
words. his present financial status. An
other and very important considera-
tlon, linked with the above and deter
mining it, Is the habit which one has
acquired in the handling of his earn
ings, whether saving them or spending
! them carelessly without thought of
| the future. Another is the habits
which the prospective borrower has ac-
quired along the line of steadiness,
push and promptness in meeting obli-
! cations assumed. 1t is due to these
and other reasons why one man can
get an accommodation at a bank and
others cannot, and 1t Is pity that
more young men do not realize the fact
early in their career when the acQuir-
ing of habits of industry and thrift
will mean ultimately success or failure
In business way. The lack in such
fellows is that they have little ambi-
tion to be anything and have nothing
/ In the future toward which they are
! working euergeticalIy and with a well
defined purpose.

During a season when typhoid fever
seems to be more prevalent than for
many years it is worth while repeating
some of the precautions given in these
notes some months ago The chief
sources of infection are through food
and liquids taken into the system, AMI
Of these the most prolific are drinking
water, milk and oysters which come
from beds where city sewage is
dumped. The only way to be on the
safe side is to boil all water and milk
used and to thoroughly cook oysters
and any other article of food that
might contain the germs. Another pre-
caution of equal Importance where
there is a typhoid patient in the house
Is the use of the utmost care In disin-
fecting all of the patients sputa, ex'
creta and urine. These are not pleas
ant things to talk about. but many a
life has been lost from this scourge
through lack of proper attention to
these simple precautions.

present who were very successful In
their special lines and chock full of
good ideas, but who through modesty
or embarrassment when on their feet
wouldn't volunteer sentence. To
elicit information from just such fel-
lows, as these there should be n con-
certed effort on the part of those In
charge of the sessions by making q
list OF the bashful farmers and putting
such questions to them as would bring
out the desired information. Men OF
this type will answer questions with
out much embarrassment who woult

Ing of cotton, a process which for
generations past has been done by ex-
ceedingly slow and expensive hand la
Dor. With the new machine one per-
son can harvest about as many acres
of cotton as he can cultivate during
the growing season. The machine will
pick four acres a day at cost of

the picking would cost by hand. TIE
machine Is so arranged that 1t will

Where Does The
Fault Lie?

Our district road supervisor
does not repair our mountain
road because our County Com
missioner does not want him to
repair it, saying that the road
fund is getting small.
The road has not been in a
suitable condition to haul heavy
loads over for the past two years,
being so siding the driver can
hardly sit in his seat in number
of places.
The trouble is all caused by
sheep herds being driven up
and down TIE road, filing up the
upper wheel track. thus making
the upper side full of loose dirt
and rolling in rocks which are
never cleaned out only by one
sheep man, Mr.. Pace Of Har-
mony, and nothing is done to
collect damages. The recent
heavy rain has cooperated with
the damage done the road by
sheep. The water followed down
the read for a half mile at time
without sufficient water course tc
carry it out of the way, washing
the road from six inches to three
feet deep, uncovering large rocks
and roots and making holes thai
are impossible to haul loads over
This necessitates that the people
of Kanarra, Harmony and a grea
many people of Dixie either
haul wood or go to Cedar fol
their coal. They do this at a loss
of $500 or $500 which would b,
realized by coal miners anC
