BREEDING to Scrubs.

When breeding to grade sire OF
any breed one never knows what will
be the result. Even the best pure
breds do not always produce perfect
young of their kind. and a scrub never
can Nothing will tear down good
herd of pure bred animals so quickly
as an inferior sire. and the man who
patronizes a grade because the service
fee is small Is making it absolutely
positive that he will have inferior
colts. It's a cinch.

Some kind of shop is necessary or

anything more than some rivets ant
some baling wire. There are hundreds
of little repairs that can be made in 6

Poultry Notes.

Stoneware drinking vessels are the
most sanitary and serviceable.
For full egg baskets try equal parts
of wheat, oats and corn. scattered in
litter.
Save all the table scraps, parings.
ETC.. boil and thicken with wheat bran
and feed warm at night
Ice water is not conducive to egg
laying. Give the hens their water at
about blood heat In cold weather.
Hens prefer dark nests. 1t will take
less time to darken the henhouse nests
than to hunt for stolen nests.
Three drops Of carbolic acid to a

SPREADING GERMS
OF HOG CHOLERA
Running Water a Potent Source
Of Contamination.

The germs Of hog cholera do not
seem to spread through the air by
means Of wind SO much or so readily
as they do by being carried on the feet
of men and animals or through the
transportation Of sick or diseased hogs
themselves.
Streams of water will carry hog
cholera perhaps more rapidly and in
more dangerous quantities than can be
done in any other way except by &C.
tual contagion. Sick hogs should never
have access to running water, and GER
tainly no dead hogs should ever be
thrown in a stream. Here is one place
where team work among neighbors
can accomplish results which could
not be accomplished without it. If all
the farmers in given neighborhood
will use every precaution against chol-
era it can soon be eradicated with the
serum treatment. 1t is part of ones
duty to his neighbors to protect them
against danger. and this means that
neither the cholera hogs themselves
nor any other animal which has access
to their pens should be allowed to go
upon the farm Of neighbor. 1t is
difficult to control crows, English spar
rows, pigeons and sometimes poultry.
but it is not difficult to control the men,
bers Of ones own family and his dog.

In TIE MORNING.

In my boyhood the sun always rose
in the east. During subsequent wan
behring's, owing to my faculty Of get
ting turned around, it rises in the
south. the west, the north or most any
old direction except the right one. So
when think of morning 1t is usual
ly of morning of my boyhood. The
points Of the compass are necessary to
the proper appreciation Of such things.
A sun rising where the north pole
ought to be somehow loses it's enchant-

had gone back on yOu-or maybe you

When | was boy the sun used to
rise and shine into my window through
an old locust tree. There was some
kind of wonderful bird that sang to
it. do not to this day know what
kind Of bird it was. but the song was
very sweet. l get sort OF shivery
happiness away down inside Of me
when hear it to this very day.
Those were wonderful mornings
when was boy. There were gener'
ally dewdrops on the hollyhocks. and
they gleamed-well, as the dew does

and know little now.
So when l think Of a morning scene
1t is OF those morning scenes. There
was the little hill In the sheep pasture
across the road, and the summer sur
peeped up over its shoulder. And there
was the cherry tree where the swing
was, and the sun sort of slanted around
from the hill and through the locust
and into this cherry tree.
A little farther on was strip OIL
woods where the whippoorwills ane
the frogs sang at night and where W.

Yes, and there were dreams. NJ
morning when you are boy is com
plete without dreams. Perhaps thu
dreams were the real things, the sun
rise, the bird, the trees and the hill IL
the sheep pasture only furnishing thu
background.
There were dreams of fame, Of low
and OF high adventure, of course. Al
boys have them. Yet in my own cas-
there was one particular vision tina

tcerned me only as part of the genera

present the roads receive so per cent
of the pay collected by express COM
panies for the carriage of packages
and claimed they would lose from $751;
100000 to $20,000,0OO a year on bust
ness the government would take from
the express companies through the re-

1t also was pointed out that the roads
would receive no compensation from
the government for carrying of the
very business for which the express
companies had paid them millions. 1t
was urged that in the enactment of
parcel post law, Congress allowed the
railroads 3 per rent additional pay for
the increased business placed upon
them, and if the proposed changes
were to be made the roads would be
entitled to further increase in com
