CARING FOR HORSES TEETH
Excellent Plan to Make Examination
Two or Three Times Yearly
Treat Them With File.

If your horse shows difficulty in
eating, or loses flesh without apparent
cause, it is time to examine the teeth.
Very often elongated teeth prevent q
horse from properly masticating its
food, thereby rendering it impossible
to obtain much benefit from it.
liberated teeth also are source OF
great trouble and prevent horse
from eating we'll. Sometimes broken
teeth cut the sides of the horses
mouth and form painful sores, which
OF course interferes with mastication
It is a good plan to examine the
teeth of all horses two or three times
a year, and in case Of broken or elon.
gated teeth Of a valuable animal are
badly affected it should be treated by

PREPARING CORN FOR SWINE
Method Of Feeding Hogs in Fattening
Carefully Studied by Iowa Ex-
Pertinent Station.

In the new Farmers Bulletin mo.
1870 of the experiment station work
by the department of agriculture.
Washington, is an article on the prep
aration of corn for hogs.
Among many farmers the time-hon-
ored way Of feeding corn to hogs IL
to shovel it to them directly from the
earth, but many careful, progressive
feeders have come to feel that the
simple form In which corn is supplied
by nature can be improved. The grind.
ing and soaking Of corn are thus
given an influential degree Of support
because SO many Of the best pure
bred hogs in the country are fed their
corn in this manner.
The question of the most econom-
ical method Of feeding corn to hogs
has been very carefully studied by
the Iowa experiment station. The
fastest and most profitable gains were
secured by feeding dry ear corn until
the hogs were close to 200 pounds In
weight. Then il the hogs we're to be
fed longer, and the weather permit
ted, the most profitable gains were Sc
cured by changing them to soaked
shelled corn. Fall pigs and spring
pigs carried over to be fattened the
following spring we're handled most
probably by feeding dry ear corn I'M
til the weather became mild enough
for soaked corn in the following
spring, and then feeding soaked
shelled corn until the finish. 1t
should be borne in mind that corn
soaked twelve hours gave better re-
suits than that soaked twenty-four
hours.

There Is no animal more unprofita
BILE than poor sheep.
The water in the stock tank should
be kept clean, pure and fresh.
A few choice lambs make suitable
farm companions for the children.
Sheep should not be kept with
horses or swine. for they are liable tc

Sheep feeders can no longer ignore
the value of manure as by-product
of the feed lot.
Sheep do best on high, rolling
ground; low ground produces foot.
rot and parasites.
Smooth-faced collars will not cure
gall, but they will do better than cure
it by preventing it.
Do not attempt to raise more hog,
than you can handle well, else the.
will eat up all the profit.
For garget in ewes, as with dair!
cows, a thorough manipulation will
some warm water is a probable cure
By feeding better animals it is many
times possible to double our income:
without adding to the cost Of produc
ton.

Crime to Kiss.

In Russia it is a crime for lovers
to kiss in public, and not very long
ago two young men and two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty of this offense.
They had all been dining together in
a restaurant and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of imprisonment, and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen
eral fine in Russia for kiss in the
open street is Is shillings, but in a
tramcar it may cost anything up to
IS shillings.

ANNUAL ADDRESS
By Retiring President W. j. Lanedon of the Washington
State Darymen's Association.

OuUcner ana put LIE uouey lnbo oho
COW, which produces as much as the
four at about one third OF the cost.
We had only one COW to stable, care
for aud feed, in the place of the four,
and we still received the same in
come. This was simply good bust
ness proposition. Ii every farmer
would look at his work from bust
ness standpoint, and work to make
money and not to work, it would be
but short time until Washington
would be exporting dairy products,
instead of importing as she now Is.
[ am confident that il every dairyman
would take hold of the work as
business proposition, with the lnten-
ton OF making it success we could
double the output of our dairies, not
only without losing anything, but
could make good money while doing
it. We have tried it in our own
dairy and know whereof we speak.
A great effort is being made to in
duce eastern people to settle OH the
logged-otf lands of Southwestern
Washington, and every effort should
be made to help them become pros
porous and contented. Otherwise
they become knockers. The cond1-
tions here are different from what
they are in the east. These people
know but little OF the time, expense
and hardship necessary to build a
home on these logged-oH lands. They
will know but little of the soil, or of
the crops suited to the soil or to their
needs. II they are advised to grow
fruit, they must wait more or less
time for their returns. Ii they must
clear land enough to raise grain they
must also wait for returns. Many
will not be able to do this. II many
of them could be induced to buy one
or more good cows and taught not
only how to care for them, but now
to grow the feed advantageously, they
! could have some income almost from
the start, and could be building up
the soil at the same time and with
proper care could be growing a herd
of good COWS at the same time thus
becoming prosperous and contented.
Success in farming these logged Oft
Iands-as we'll as all other lands means
Improvement in our methods and i'm
