Merry Christmas, little readersl
Dorothy and Davie and Buster
Dear and mother and father Dear,
and Nurse Nellie and the rest, join
me In hoping that this will be the
merriest Christmas you've ever
seen.
Dorothy and Davie are going to
hang UP their stockings tonight All
day long they've been restless.
Mother Dear locked the library
doors early this morning, and since
then nobody has been permitted to
enter that room, except Nurse Nellie
and Father Dear, and Mother Dear.
Of course. Henry, the handy man,
went In just before the doors were
locked, and then Dorothy and Davie
heard a lively hammering.
What do you suppose 1t was, chill
dren?
Dorothy and Davie looked at each
other with eyes that danced with ex-
pectant curiosity.
What is it?" whispered Davie
Maybe he's building something"
WHAT" said Dorothy.
don't know what. A house
maybe, or garage for one o. those
big toy automobiles we saw in the
window, that you can sit in and
make 60" said Davie, all In
breath, "or maybe-s-sh!"
He and Dorothy quickly hid be-
hind the portiere, to see If Henry
had any bundles in his arms. He
came through the door so quickly
that they didn't dare look but they
thought they heard the rafting of
paper, and Henry said: II guess
that'll make 'em sit up an take
notice, all rightly, all right, no, no,
hoi"
What did he mean?" asked Davie
In q hoarse whisper. HE said we'd
sit up. We aren't lying down.
Henry says awful funny things"
"S-shl I'll tell you after a while.
Here comes mother. She'll be very
cross if she finds us. It isn't fair
TO peep"
Were not peelzing, We're only
trying to see," said Davie, with his
usual logic, and If mother-oh,
OH" He changed his tune very sud-
denly, for one foot had caught in
the fringe of the portiere and Davie
bumped to the floor, curtain and all.
"Oh, Davie. get up quick! You'll
get spanked for this" whispered
Dorothy, excitedly, jumping from
her hiding place and trying to help
Davie to his feet.
Davie untangled one foot from
the folds of the curtain and was
engaged in loosening the other when
mother Dear came out of the liz

Pasture For Live Stock.

There is nothing that is quite so pal
atable for any class Of farm live stock
as green pasture. Stock will do better
In growth and production and will re-
main In better health and condition Oh
green pasture than on anything else
Sllage and alfalfa hay come the near
est to It and offer the finest substi
tutes in winter feeding for the grasses
Of June Too little attention has been
paid to forage crops for swine. The
greatest and most popular growth is
made by the pigs under 100 pounds
weight After that weight has been
attained his growth is slower and more
But In either period Of his
life nothing helps so much to proper
growth and development as do green
pasture In summer and good alfalfa
hay in the winter. to which may be
added a little silage.

THE SAFEST WAY OF
INBREEDING CATTLE

There are many vague and foolish
notions entertained on the subject Of
inbreeding. says Hoard's Dairyman.
Like everything else in this world that
is good for anything. it is capable Of
evil as well as, good results. Knives
have been used to stab people, ropes to
hang them and water TO drown them.
yet no man of common sense would
fail on that account to make a right
use Of knives. ropes and water The
safest way Of inbreeding. so far as our
observation goes, is from sire to daugh-
ter There is one rule that should al
ways be watchfully observed;
Never inbreed heifer or COW that
shows a lack of constitutional yigor.
Keep that idea foremost. Also. with
like pertinency. never inbreed to a sire
who shows any signs of lacking in con
stitutonal vigor Now. within those
two road fences il is safe and very
often advantageous to breed a daugh-
ter back to her sire This should be
practiced in breeding grade cows a
great deal more than II is done. with
close observance Of the foregoing rules
It should always be remembered that
inbreedlng is an intensifer. II inten-
sites a weakness just the same as It
may intensity strength. talent or ca
pacity In any given direction.
Now, suppose we start with a pure
bred bull and a herd Of cows Of mixed
breeding The heifers got by that un-
ion inherit so per cent Of the straight
blood Of the sire and an equal amount

Saving the Young Pigs.

If you have not already built suit
able rail in your farrowing pens or cots
It should be done at once. There are
two things that viii help to save the
young pigs perhaps more than any
other These are to give the SOW plen-
ty OF range before farrowing and to
provide a suitable rail in the cot for
the little pigs Another very vitally
important matter is to use care in feed
ing. while the SOW needs suitable
feed. overfeeding viii bring about
feverish condition which will react on
the pigs unfavorably II not fatally
Give the SOW a thin slop and plenty OF
fresh water for several days after far
rowing and then gradually. increase
her feed.
Milford chronicle., 1913-07-04

feed for two days is recommended. L
SOW is given a good physic. such a.
epson salts. good results will follow
Scalded milk is also a good remedy
Each pig may be given a good physic
such as a teaspoonful of castor oil OF
epson salts. Charcoal is good. There
is also a contagious form Of scours
called white scours. The cure is to
clean and dlsinfect the pens and give
physic.
Thumps often occur in young pigs
and is the result Of lack of sunshine
and exercise along with high feeding
The remedy is. Of course. to cut down
the sow's feed and force the pigs to
take exercise out in the sunshine
Thumps also may occur in large pigs
after they are weaned. but when old
pigs have It 1t is usually caused by
some affection Of the lungs.
Piles may be caused by feeding too
laxative or too constpating diet. Eat
ing soft coal. ashes, etc. may cause
them. Cleanse well with hot water and
soap. Using a wash made by dissolv-

Treatment Of Common Diseases That
Affliet Young PorkeFs.
The prime essentials to good results
with pigs are sunshine, exercise and
feed. says Professor L. a. Weaver OF
the Missouri experiment station. One
Of the things often giving trouble is
scours in the young pigs. Scours are
usually caused by one Of four things
either by changing the feed of the SOW
overfeeding, dirty pens and troughs OF
exposure Of either SOW or pigs to colo
rain or to cold weather in such a way
that they become chilled.
The thing to watch especially is the
feed. Changing from sweet to sour
milk often causes the trouble. as viii
also the feeding Of too much protein
when the animal is not used to It. II
the SOW is fed too much her milk flow
is so stimulated that very young pigs
will get more than they can utilize
thus causing them 10 scour. Pigs
should always be in dry. clean quarters
and be fec in clean troughs They
should not be allowed to run out IT.

in any way. Sows running through
filth and then being sucked by pigs
will often throw pigs of.
There are a good many remedies for
this trouble The first thing to do is tc

ers.
When you come to breed these heif-
ers. If you 20 outside for a sire. the
scrub blood they inherited from their
mothers is just as prepotent and often
more so than the pure bred blood Of
their sire But breed them back 10
their sire-if he is a good one-and the
heifers from that union will contain IS
per cent Of the blood Of the sire. In
other words. they are three-quarters
inbred. This inbreeding makes them
answer back in all subsequent breed
ing a great deal stronger than if they
were bred from another sire even if
in the same line.
We should so breed our cattle as to
concentrate as far as it is safe the
best heredity we can obtain. Starting
with the blood of a very desirable bull.
the universal practice is to dilute and
diduse that valuable heredity. The
consequence is that the valuable quail
ties of the original bull are very soon
so widely scattered as to be Of small
account
Skillful breeders like Dauncey with
his Stoke POgis herd Of Jerseys so
his intense inbreeding as to
size and strength Of constitu-
ton. 1t can be done if sufficient care
is had at every step in the way to
build on constitutional vigor. With /

Freshenina Cows.

It is not best to feed too heavily with
grain just previous to cows coming in.
but it is still good policy to feed some.
Bran may be fed safely at any time
A little Oilmeal and cornmeal. too. in

Of the danger OF udder troubles.

Thumps IN Pioa

As an additional precaution against
thumps avoid feeding much corn TO
sows and young pigs. Prefer mixed
laxative rations, and if the drinking
water is soft from lack Of lime add
hmewater to the slop at the rate Of
one ounce to the quart Roots and al
falfa hay also are admirable feeds Tor

DAIRY WISDOM.

The COW should be given a fair
trial with the right kind Of feed
in the right quantity and she
should be tried out with the

is classed as Improbable.
The COW that is always hun

yield the best proft.
There may be occasional bad
luck in the dairy business. but it
almost invariably follows bad
management
A good dairy COW should have
all the feed she will eat and di-
gest and keep in good health.
An exposed or an abused COW
