GRADING the Swire

Grade the hogs as to size, thrift and
general condition and separate them
into two or three lots before begin.
ming to feed them for the market
You thus will realize greater profits
from the sale of swine, since each
herd will be more uniform in size and
condition. Besides, each lot of hogs
may be fed more economically. since
what meets the needs of some will
not meet the needs of all.

most berries on, it is fair to suppose
that they know a kiss must be given
for each berry plucked, and that the
ceremony is never complete until
every berry Is off the branch.
There was once common, though
mistaken belief that the mistletoe
grew on oak trees only, but that was
SO far from true that the Druids, who
held the oak as absolutely sacred be-
cause they believed it to represent
the One Supreme God. deemed the
mistletoe doubly sacred if found on
one, and carefully guarded it until the
sixth day after the first new moon
of each year.
When this time arrived, priests
robed in white surrounded the tree
and held solemn ceremonies, among
which was the sacrifice of two white
bulls
After the ceremonies, a priest in
spotless robes assembled the tree and.
with a golden knife, cut the mistle-
toe and let it fall on to a white cloth
held by other priests.
An0 pidHcueS were tnen formally
blessed" and divided among the peo-
pie who believed the sprays given
them to have miraculous powers.
Inc common belief in the efficacy
OF the plant was such that 1t was
called all-heal; but according to an
old legend, certain lover searched
many days for a specimen growing
on an oak tree, that he might secure
Its branches for the cure of his be-
trothed, who was sick unto death. but
when he found 1t he touched the sap
while cutting the branches, and fell
dead near the tree, indicating that
the sap was a deadly poison.
The plant thrives In America from
New Jersey southwark and westward,
and those who know it only as a part
or Christmas decorations can have
little idea of how often 1t overruns
trees to the extent of being nuis-
ance.

The American Goose.

The adoption of the eagle as ma.
tional emblem by the United States
may be all right, but 1t might have
been still better to adopt the goose.
We have never heard of the eagle do
ing anything great. but last month
goose walked into a church in Ill.
inois during the services and drove
half the congregation outdoors before
she got out herself, by flying through
a window. An old gander. when thor
oughly mad, is more dangerous than
a dog.

CLEAN PLACE FOR MILKING
and Care Taken to Exclude
Dust and All Odors.
(By WALTER b. LEUTZ.)

Wy WALL LIN d. LIE - M
Cows should never be MIXED in the
same stable or stall where they are
fed If it can possibly be avoided. 1t
will pay to provide separate room
in bad weather and this room should
be so arranged that no dust or odors
from the barn can enter 1t. In good
weather COWS should be MIXED in the
open air.
If cows are MIXED in the barn
where hay and other feeds are kept
the managers should be filled several
hours before milking time and the
floors well sprinkled just before milk
ing begins.
The main thing is to keep the dirt
out of the milk in the first place be-
cause when 1t has once gotten in no
amount of straining will take all of
1t out. Running the milk through a
strainer does not mean that it Is made
clean by the process. OF course the
best way is to milk through a strainer
into covered pail as that keeps out
the dirt.
OF course most farmers will say
that all this trouble is not worth while
but it is. That is it is worth while if
a man really wants to provide milk
that Is absolutely clean. OF course if
he doesn't care to do this and is will
ing to send to the market foul and
tainted milk nothing is worth while.
Just go ahead and milk in any old
way and any old place regardless of
dust, stable odors or any other con-
terminating elements, but this never
pays in the long run.
