TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS


The whole secret OF success In hog
raising can be found only through a
knowledge OF the fact that the modern
hog is an artificial animal which must
be cared for by artificial means. The
hog raiser must protect his animals
against bad ventilation no less than
against changes In weather conditions.
and he must give great attention to
sanitation wherever the hogs are kept.
Attention to these things, with the
knowledge that one Of the great causes
Of loss among hogs Is due to internal
parasites, will come more nearly bring
ing success than Is possible In any 9th
er way. Dust is a great enemy Of
hogs: Accommodations ia the pens are
fully as bad. and when these are re-
moved and the pens kept clean the
hogs dipped occasionally for the de-
struction OF mango and lice and given
an occasional dose of some worm rem
edy the danger from loss has been re-
duced to minimum.

A Michigan woman is married
to a man who came from farm
to Pontiac when he was fifteen
years old and went to work for
$3.50 a week. He makes SIS a
week now, in an automobile fac
tory; he has five children; his
health is not good; he says that
factory work is killing him; and
the wife, who cooks for him and
takes care of his children, says
that at home he is "as cross as a
bear" Although she has never
lived in the country, the wife
wants to go to a farm; and the
young children talk farm all the
time" There is pathetic irony
in what the husband and father
says when the issue is joined
Now YOU just shut right up about
a farm, because have no inten-
tion of going to starve my life out
on a farm" He tells his wife
that she would be lonesome, that
she would get sick of the farm.
Maybe / would" the woman
says, but it couldn't be worse
than it is now-it couldn't be as
bad as this struggle to keep body
and soul together on my mans
wages" These two Americans of
Pontiac have raised a question
which is troubling their fellow
Americans all over the country.

Looking for Happiness.

A New Jersey woman's club re-
ceived the report of its program
committee last month, and immed-
lately the club was divided into
two excited factions. One group
of women foresaw the shaking
down of the spiritual pillars of the
home if the program committees
work was accepted, but the rest
applauded the committee for NOV
ing forward with the times. This
is the outline of subjects SUBMIT
ed under the general title, The
Rational Pursuit of Happiness"
For the individual health and
wealth, the study ofthe proven
tive treatment of disease; the con-
servation OF human energy; mem
tai control; and the pursuit of
culture through books, travel, art,
music and friendship. For the
common good, four general topics
we're proposed: health, freedom,
cooperation and ideals. Talks
were arranged on the fight against
tuberculosis, on the physical dis
eases of society, on sex hygiene,
on The Hague Tribunal, on social
liberty, the prevention of crime,
organized charity, and a single
moral standard. The word "ra
tional" in the general title of the
years outlined work caused the
split. The pursuit of happiness"
being vague. would have sounded
all right to the members, but to
call a program of this kind a study
of the rational" pursuit of happi-
ness was going too farl 1t was
white hot discussion which follow
ed, all the ministers in town
preaching sermons on the topic.
There emerged from the debate
two factlons-those fatalists who
believe that happiness is the re-
suit of accident, something which
cannot be pursued, or else it is al
together a question of spiritual
peace, and those others who be-
lieve with MARCUS AURELIUs that
rules for happiness can be formu-
lated. BE simple and modest in
thy department." they quoted,
and treat with indifference what
ever lies between virtue and vice.

In this day, when so much is un- |
dertaken for social betterment.

In how many communities would
the work of the program commit

When winter draws near the man

ewes and lambs of last year should

ground Is frozen pretty hard scatter
fodder or hay OH the snow or on the

Eco Flavors.

Eggs may be favored by the feed
given to the hens. Breed has nothing
to do with the flavor of an egg. Good
6avors are produced by keeping hens
In clean quarters and giving them
good feed. Eggs having a good flavor
may be kept good by storing them In
a cool place. where the air is fresh
and clean. Eggshells are porous and
will absorb bad odors. not as readily
as milk or butter. but very much on
the same order.
