Mistake Made to Allow Them Forage
Alone.
Tie mistake 10 ofteo made Of with
holding grain from pigs when they are
placed on pasture. When pigs are
turned into a lot where the ground fs
covered with a 1uxur1ent growth OF
the forage crops, there is tempta-
ton to let them depend upon the pas
ture alone for their food supply. Be
cause Of this practice many Of our
forage crops are in i'll repute with
many farmers The pigs have been
expected to make rapid gains on the
pasture alone, or with very meageI
amount of grain Pigs until they are
four or FIVE months old should receive
all the grain they can eat in addition
to the pasturage, unless it tends to
fatten them too much before they
have made the necessary growth to

WHITE PlMPLEs ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter His whole head
was covered for a few months, then 1t
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head. while
on the other parts of his body it was
more like water coming out OF the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch, Never had
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -. but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice day, and he was completely

The young man who is always
afraid that he is going to do more
work for his employer than he is paid
to do, and is continually on his guard
against being imposed upon, is max
ing a serious mistake. He has false
idea of employment. He thinks that
the less he gives in return for his
salary the better off he is. He could
not fall into a more serious error. or
course there are employers that VIII
take advantage of willingness on the
part of their help, but they are In the
minority and are not the big sue
cesses. The successful man is looking
always for the young fellow that can
do more than he is doing. Good men
are hard to find, and the success OF
big business depends on finding them
in sufficient numbers. If you show
that you are willing and able to DO
more work than has been assigned 70
you you will get more work and better

GRlNDIN'

I have watched the game through its
thick and thin,
And the secret I've learned of how to win
It's grindin'
For the fellow who wins. It is plain to
me,
Keeps playing his cards whatever they
be.
TIL they run his way; and he wins, you
see,
BY grindin'.
The commonplace chap with common
place brain
II he presses ahead, each step TO gain
By grindin':
And the boy who stands at the foot OF
the class
The one at the head at last may pass
If he, ne'er pausing to moan, ''Alas!'
Keeps grindin'.
So spit on your hands, though It be not
neat,
And murmur, I'm hit, but won't be
beat"
And chilled by the cold or baked by the
heat,
Keep grindin'.
And the three old DANES ere the end viii
say.
"Here's man at last; turn the cards
his way"
And you'n win the wearisome game you
play
BY grindin'.

BRIGHT GLASS AND SILVER
How to Care for Both With the Least
Work and to Clean Them
Without Injury.


There is nothing that repays one
| more for careful washing and drying
than glass. First one must have a
bowl of warm water softened with
dissolved soap, which makes a very
good lather. Too hot water should
! not be used, as it might crack the
glass.
Have bowl of clean water to rinse
| the glass in after washing Il and if a
very fine polish be desired ON it have
a third bowl of cold water with lit
tie ammonia In it. Wash each arti-
Gle separately, rinse it well and dry
with soft glass cloth, which should
be made of linen or little, fluffy par
ticles will stick to the glass and spoil
/ the appearance.
When il is washed and dried polish
with leather kept for the glass or
with silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
/ How to Clean Silver--Have an
aluminium pan containing about two
| gallons of cold water In this dissolve
1 piece of washing soda about the
| size OF an egg and heat the solution
to boiling point. Drop into this the
silver to be cleaned, taking care to
keep the whole at boiling point. Let
| the silver soak for three or four min
utes. Lift out with wire spoon or
long-handled fork, wash in hot soap
suds and wipe quickly with perfect
ly dry towel. The pieces so cleaned
will be as highly polished as when
i new
This process will neither injure
plated or solid ware When all the
silver is finished, if there are any
| pieces that do not look white and
clear, rub them with a little dry
whiting and a dry buster, then polish
off with a soft, dry cloth

1t pays for any young man to take

CLERK behind the button counter in q
large retail dry goods store.
On the way to his hall bedroom
home one evening this clerk passed a
street faker, with blackboard, who
was selling cheap book on lightning

Will tell me instantly, without putting

"one dollar and eighty cents" cried
the clerk. Now give ME the So"
The crowd shouted with delight But
the faker, taken by surprise at his
own game, refused to pay. The crowd
became angry, broke up the black
board, and drove the faker from the
street corner.
But this clerk had a new idea of
arthmetical knowledge, and this put
the lad to thinking 1t always pays
to think. He argued to himself that
he might as well apply this lightning

Along came the time for taking the
annual invoice in the store. 1t soon
became noised through the big estab-
lishment that there was young cles'k
over in the button department who
had beaten the expert accountants In
speed in figuring up the long sheets
of totals. He was looked upon as a
sort of arithmetical wizard The STU

clerk soon found himself rapidly ad-
vancing in the accounting depart
ment. Today he is at the head of an

caught his eve, writes Richard F.
Vogle in the Chicago Tribune The
advertisement told of what an asset a
completely equipped Office is to a ply
sician; how necessary it is, especially
for the young physician, to have the
best of surgical and medical instru-
ments at hand.
The advertisement closed with an
exceedingly cordial invitation to visit
our house" and take all the instru-
ments you need on easy payments"
or something to that effect.
The advertisement sounded sincere
and heartfelt. 1t talked to the young
physician as an older brother or faith
er would talk to him. 1t made him feel
that there was no shame in being poor,
that most successful physicians start
ed poor, and so on.
With light heart the physician left
the office and took a car to the house
which invited him to call and look
over their stock of instruments
You will have to see the credit
man." the clerk told the physician
when the latter informed him of his
intention to buy several hundred dol
lars worth of instruments on the in
stallment plan. The physician was
shown into the credit mans office.

seemed to have known no smile for
years babe him sit down The look
of the man, his motions, froze the
young physicians enthusiasm instant
Iy After some minutes the credit
man motioned to the physician to
come up to desk, and he began firing
questions at him in a voice which a
district attorney reserves for a most
notorious criminal. The physician
sheepishly answered the questions for
some moments. AS he went on speak
ing the credit mans voice became
more sinister. An executioner could
not have frowned worse than he.
At the same time change was COM

face gradually grew red and hot. Fin

TransvaaI Gold.

Transvaal for the year 1911 has been
reckoned at s170.0o0,O00. This was an
increase in value over the previous
year of more than $40, 100000 1t Is
estimated that the gold output of the
Transvaal for the year mentioned con-
stitutes almost, If net quite, 80 per
cent of the output OF the whole world
for the same year. In 1910 the pro-
portion was 33 per cent. so it will be
seen that the South African gold mines
are steadily improving. The dividend
distributed from the 1911 output reach
ed the princely sim OF s37,779,057.
