HOW ONE MAY GROW TALL

A mans organs and those of his
bones which are not subjected to pres
sure grow continuously until he is
forty years old; that is to say, the
heart should become stronger. the
capacity OF the lungs increase, and
the brain should develop steadily
until the fourth decade of life. Also
one should wear larger hat at the
age of forty than at thirty. A man
ceases to grow tall. however. at the
beginning of the third decade, because
after that time the downward pres

body while in the erect position COM
presses the vertebrae or small bones

thigh bones, and this pressure over
comes the natural elasticity of the
discs and the growth OF these bones.
However. well-known scientist con-
tends that were man quadruped.
and therefore freed from the down
ward pressure produced by his
weight upon his spinal column. he
would continue to grow in height for
ten years longer than he does at
present. since 1t has been found that
bones not subjected to compression
increase up to the fourth decade.

The possibilities OF the hog is mat
ter almost entirely In the hands OF
the feeder.
Red clover in bloom is not good for
hogs. but when young II makes a fine
pasture.
The growing pig requires protein
and not much corn. 1t is all right
TO give little corn, but too much is
harmful.
In purchasing boar it is well TO
bear in mind that one with heavy
bones is more to be desired than one
OF slight build.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing. fattening hogs. They
for bes. results.
To make fall pigs do well, they must
be provided with warm stepping quar-
ters at night. and filled with sunshine
during the day.
Don't select heavy. lazy SOW for a
breeder. She should be mild in dis
position. but possessed of sufficient en-
ergy to take exercise
The practical remedy for little pigs
that are liable to be troubled with
thumps is to provide them plenty of
exercise and large range.
The pure bred hog will mature and
come into money more quickly than
scrub. and bring more money for the
same weight, at that.
The farmer who marketed his corn
in the hog yard, and who is now mar
keting the hogs, can look any man in
the face and tell him to go to any old
place.
One acre of alfalfa will furnish more
forage for hogs than two acres of clo-
yer. as 1t grows faster and keeps on
growing as fast as the hogs eat 1t
down.
Pigs will live and grow on rape
without supplement of grain, but
small addition of the latter is profit
able. Dry sows will. however. do well
on rape alone.
Never feed more than hogs will eat
up freely. Many farmers do not prac-
tice this, but keep a quantity of un-
eaten food lying about the lot at all
times.
A few Goals from the wood fire OF
the kitchen put into the houses now
and then, where the hogs can grind
them up to charcoal. help to keep the
hogs healthy.
Steaming food for hogs is an easy
matter. All that is required is large

to Eradicate.
fBy G.. H. DAcY.).

These thistles reproduce themselves
by roots and seeds-the seeds being
disseminated by the water, wind, snow,
In poorly graded grain. leaky grain
cars, etc.
Although the seeds are rapid repro
ducers the roots also are very effec-
tive in propagating the pests as they
spread quickly in all directions and are
readily transplanted by the plow, drag
and cultivator In various parts of the
farm.
The most effective measure In err
radicating Canada thlstles is to bare
fallow the infested field for the sea-
son. The land should be plowed deep
ly four or FIVE times and efficiently cul-
tiyated with a spring tooth harrow be-
tween the plowings throughout the
season.
This system OF control effectively
practiced will absolutely eradicate the
thisties in one year In exceptional
cases where weather or soil conditions
have been especially unfavorable 1t
has been necessary to plow once more
the following spring and then to culti-
vate frequently until time to plant
corn when a crop of this grain should
be sown-check row method-so that
intensive cultivation can be continued.
Fall plowing followed by careful cul-
tivation and early spring plowing
should effectually prepare the seed
bed for Hungarian millet or Silver
Hull buckwheat. These crops grow
rapidly and are shading the ground be-
fore the weakened weeds get started
After the crop is harvested. fall

the following spring.
Good stands of alfalfa maintained
for three or four years are very efii-
cient in eradicating Canada thistles.

The weeds will be weakened by the
intensive cultivation and the rapidly

Where live stock are pastured in
thistle-infested fields the weeds can be
advantageously cut below the surface
of the ground. handful of rock salt
thrown on the bloom and the stoch

thistle.
On small areas gasoline can be cub

The main thing is to practice some

WlfE SOLD FOR HALF CROWN

From time to time cases in the po-
lice court show that there is still a
belief. especially among the English
colliers. that man may legally sell
his wife. Formerly the error was
widespread among the lower classes
In Lancashire. it being thought to be
purely legal transaction If the wife
was taken to the place of sale with
halter round her neck. and the buyer
was given written receipt by the
husband for the money paid. Quite
late in the nineteenth century man
pleaded in a Lancashire county court
that he was not liable for his wife's
debts, as he had sold her to another
man for half a crown long before the
debts in question we're contracted.

regularly until her litter arrived. Then
she ceased and gave her attention to
the new family. The hen continued
to make the pen her roosting place.

friends with her that the fowl gave
up her plans to hatch brood and
adopted the little pigs. She allowed
