Science After DespIsIng Broths for
Long Time Finds Out Why They
Are Good.

From time immemorial beef tea, or
broth made In similar manner
from mutton or chicken, has been a
feature of the sickroom, the pride Of
the housekeeper nurse, source Of
comfort to the invalid, the invariable
staple of the menu permitted by the
physician.
When 1t was indisputably proved
that the homemade broth was In no
sense a food, humanity refused Gre
dence and invalids went ahead with
their consumption of millions Of gal
Ions, persisting In the exhibition of
sure signs OF convalescence and de-
handing with insistence further sup
plies OF the fragrant potion.
DR.. Thomas Darlington, in a recent
Issue Of the New York Medical Jour
nal, shows at last the reason OF this
unshakable faith. Broth Is one of the
few genuine stimulants In the arma-
mentarium now that alcohol Is known
to be narcotic. The experiments of
Pawlow on dogs demonstrate that the
savory liquid is powerfully stimulant

There Is no theme upon the farm
that will so benefit the farmer as to
keep the quarters and surroundings
of the farm In a sanitary and health
full condition where swine are kept.
Nowhere will an outbreak OF chol-
era become so disastrous as upon the
farm where these animals are kept
with dirty, filthy surroundings, and
| no care taken in the disinfection OF
the nesting places and slop troughs
during the summer time.
Upon on. farm we have never prac-
ticed the method Of keeping a herd
of swine in one place very long, and
never do We fatten out more than one
bunch OF animals in the same field
in one year, preferring rather to shift
our operations about from pla0 to
place.
We have no permanent quarters,
but rely upon the service OF the cot,
shown in the illustration.
These hunks can be shifted about
easily upon runners, and many times
each year are changed from one field
to another, or from one pen to an
other, thus We always have the ami
mails in fresh sleeping quarters, and
upon fresh forage. While the animals
are located upon a new range, we
break up the old range. cropping it
in some profitable farm crop, thus get
ting the benefit of all excrement from
the animals, prof1ting In its enrich

Then swine should be supplied with
some shade aside from a board shell
ter to ward off the heated rays of
the summer sun. There is nothing
for this purpose quite SO nice as
clumps of willows, catalpas or pop-
lars grown In some convenient loca-
ton in each field, preferably along the
fence row, in such manner that the
animals may have access to the cool
Ing shade during the heat of the day.
