HEREFoRDs WIN AS GRAZERs
Their Ability to Fatten on Grass Diet
10 Characteristic Which APP
peaIs to All.

There is no breed Of cattle which
approaches the Hereford as grazers,
and their ability to fatten on grass
diet Of their own cleaning is a 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 Agricultural.
The Hereford can be fattened at
any age with equal rapidly. 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 a quality which rec
ommends itself to breeders Of every
section. The color, coat. and mark
ings 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 At the Hereford steer for market.
There Is nothing capricious about his
appetite and all that .is necessary il
to give him a chance at s the feed
trough. as + 1. ia
The Hereford bull is Of q 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 IMPROBABLE

Give Less In Return Than Any :
Other Farm Animal.
(By W. g. wEsTCoTT.)

(By W. q. wESTCoTT)
Possibly there is no other farm AMI
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 a 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 cornf1elds
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 it 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 a place large enough to go
through the fence, he can soon dig

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
II suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia: but although incapacitated
at times for my homework, l did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much. as
/ was a widow and had child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing q
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that / was
with heart trouble. and who was bene-
flied by leaving of coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope TINS
held out, and made the change al
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately.e The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning. and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. NO
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out OF my mouth:
Then l again made application fcr
life insurance, and had no trouble IN
passing the medical examination.

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 stiQ 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 Is 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 a herd Of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn
crib than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, and
In fact II he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred hogs he would never own better
ones. -,a.,
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 a rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there is not a
better evidence Of the general progress
siveness Of people than the absence
of the scrub hog from community.

Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
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 2OS
cities and towns in ~ states in vari-
GUS parts Of the country, out of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent. were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 224 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
returns. is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1877 In 1909.
