GENUINE TRIBUTE TO WOMAN
Robert G. Ingersoll's Eloquent Appre-
citation of the Qualities Of the
Gentler Sex.

II takes 100 men to make an en-
campment, but one woman can make
a home. ! not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but | reverence her as the redeeming
glory of humanity, the sanctuary OF all
virtues, the pledge Of all perfect quail
ties of heart and head. 1t is not just
nor right to lay the sins of men at the
feet of women. 1t is because women
are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire is the foundation OF his
love, but a woman's desire is born OF
her love. The one thing in this world
that is constant. the one peak that
rises above all clouds, the one win
dow In which the light forever burns,
the one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. It rises to
the greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths. It forgives the most
cruel injuries. 1t is perennial Of life
and grows in every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish 1t. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart. This
Is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings OF IRE.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death-Robert G. Ingersoll.

SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING BREEDING OF HOGS
Rougha2e Important Factors In Winterin
Brood Sows-AnimaIs Not Thrive Well II Not
Sufficient Quantity-Scrub Hog
Is Not Profitable.

He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact If he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better bred
hogs he would never own better ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps bis
owner so poor that he is not able to
buy any better stock. In fact, this Is
the excuse usually given for his exist
ence. Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear companions.
Both make a rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there Is not a
better evidence Of the general progress
siveness OF a people than the absence
of the scrub hog from community.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
selecting breeding swine from sound,
healthy parents. Animals that are not
strong in constitution cannot with
stand disease as well as those which
are strong In that respect. In case
hogs are troubled with disease IT Is
almost impossible to give them medi-
cine or anything else that will prove
very helpful About all we can do Is
to feed a ration that can be easily d.
gested and keep them in clean quar-
tiers, thoroughly disinfect the pens and
let the disease run it's course.
Whole milk is one of the best feeds
for hogs that are suffering with dis
ease Of any kind. 1t is an excellent
feed and has often been Of great as
sistance in bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought about by feeding
ration that is composed of less than
two-thirds corn. 1t is a mistake to
think we cannot afford to buy other
feeds to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily It is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months to
come. Failure here will impair the
usefulness OF the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to Il
pounds Of meat, live weight, for each
bushel OF corn eaten, but because Of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours In pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet

proven herself a prolific breeder, an

Mr.. Cornell, who has a large orchard
