Helps For the Modern Farmer
BE EASY ON THE YOUNG PIG.
Feed It's Dam Moderately on Thin Stop
at First.

at First.
1t is conceded by all experienced
breeders that for the first three days
Of the young pigs life it's dam should
be fed very moderately on thin slop,
writes w. Il. Purdue in the National
Stockman. Heavy feeding ut this
time will produce II greater flow Of
milk than tie little fellows can con-
sumo. leaving the surplus To fever and
r,ir1 in the udder, which in turn will
prove disastrous to the life Of the pig.
The fcedin: Of Sour swill while the
pigs are Young will also produce bad
results. usually causing %dysentcry. and
when this trouble once an ag
-ravItel form 1t is almost sure to
claim sornc of the best of the litter.
1t is probable that more pigs are lost
by improper feeding Of the SOW the
first week OF the pigs life than from
any other cauSe About IL week is re-
quircl to bring the SOW up to full
feed and then rush the whole family
along until weaving time.
The pigs may he weaned when be-
tween clSnt anu llne weeks or age Oy
removing the sow to another lot, or
they may be allowed to run and feed
with their mother until about ten
weeks old. at which age they will
practically have weaned themselves.
When the SOW is to be bred for 4 fall
litter if the spring litter arrived late
it is necessary to wean the pigs ut an
early age; otherwise it does no harm
to let them run with the SOW until
they wean themselves.

Grating Wax Form uia.

\ satisfactory formula for maxim.
grating wax is as follows: Take one
pound Of tallow or linseed oil. two
pounds Of beeswaX and four pounds Of
rosin. Melt these ingredients together
slowly and pour while still hot into Il
tub of cold water. When the mixture
is cool enough to handle it should he
nodded into balls Of convenient size
with the bare hands. and the balls
should be wrapped in creased paper
and laid away for use. If the weather
during which the wax is to be used
should be warm the amount Of rosin
should be slightly increased.

FOOD FOR THE COWS.

More COWS arc needed on our farms.
~ animals are better for soil I'M
%nroVenCnt and the conservation of hu-
man food than COWS. More cows
should i" kept and moro homes album
dant'y supplied with milk and butter.
\ few pounds of butter Il week or Il
I hundred pounds Of butter fat per
month would mean more cash in the
home.
Milk oWS will need %>,!cculcnt food
this spring nnd n winter. Plant
crops for early grazing and build Il
silo and fill it for winter feeding. Sue
culcnt food is Indispensable to Geo
'mical milk production.
Grain is Il very important crop to
sustain and fattcn animals. Corn is
the staple in the humid belt and Kattir,

There could be no better place thai;

ties and beauties for the birth Of love.
The white and the dusky mingled as

Thereafter their meetings were fire..

Now and again through sheer happi-
ness Haha's laughter would ring out to-
the envy Of ONE knocking bird, which
would try to initiate it. AS the Season
advanced the lovers had no need to
bring q luncheon with them, for it was
at hand in the ripening fruits Of the
earth.
Haha had many suitors among the
young warriors of her tribe. but from
the moment she met Donald McDer-
mott she would listen to none Of them.
This. rs we'll as her frequent absences,
attracted the attention Of her people,
and they were ut Il loss to divine the
cause. When the hunting season came
the lovers were in danger, for the III.
dams spread themselves in every di.
rection to hunt the deer, bear and wild
turkey with which the country abound
cd. Aware that if they were caught
together by Haha's people one or both
would suffer, they changed their tryst-
ing place to a point under the bank Of
the Ohio river. near which they lived.
Between the bank and the stream were
shallow lagoons ~frequented by focks
of birds Of all sizes. from the snipe to
the sandhill crane.
But it was now autumn, the season
when the wild geese visited the la.
goons. and the Indians came there to
procure them for food. One day an
Indian crouched upon the bank above
where the lovers were together, watch.
ing for a shot at the geese. He heard
Haha's laugh. Crawling forward to q
point where he could see the white
man and the Indian girl, he raised his
rife, fired. and Haha's laugh was turn.
ed into q shrek. Donald fell dead.
That was the last Of Haha's laugh.
ter. She lived but a few months after
her lovers death, ending her life by
jumping from the cliff near which they
had so often met. There was a belief
among the tribe that occasionally her
'haha" was heard as an echo from the
cliff. At any rate, the spot was treat.
ed with great reverence by them and
was a favorite trysting place for low
ers. The legend was handed down
through the Indians. and their belief
is now turned to a matter Of mere in
terest among their white successors.
Maidens are accustomed to laugh be-
fore the cliff to hear the echo. It may
be that what the red men heard was
similar laughter from their own girls.

SHIPPING SHOES IN M0LASSES BARRELS.

BUSINESS. MAN AND FARMER
IN ONE.

Farming is Il business. and the
successful farmer must first of
all be a business man. He fol-
lows his vocation primarily for
the money he can make and, like
other business men. should aim
to get the greatest possible re-
turns for the money and labor
involved. 1t is not enough to
simply grow crops. but they
must he so produced as to- yield
Il profit on the capital invested.
TO succeed lr must he thorough
~ acquainted with every detail
of ocrnrntiun and must strive to
stop all leaks ana prevent need
less waste. At the same time
he mist lrar in mind that it is a
good business princip'" to spend
y dollar whenever he can see
that it will come back to him
with interest.

Pumpkins For Live Stock.

Pumpkins arc worth approximately
two-tllirds as much as ensilage for
COWS or sheep. Brood sows will make
good use Of them, writes II. L. Miller
in the Ohio Farmer. In the ration of
%fattening hogs they should occupy
about the same place as grass. Per-
haps 81 per ton would be a fair money
value to place upon field pumpkins
for feeding cattle. sheep or hogs. 1t
will be not, that they contain SO
much water that no animal should be
confined to pumpkins alone.

AHA was the name given by
the white settlers Of Kentucky
To au Indian girl Whn lived

to an Indian girl who lived
more than IL hundred years
ago because her real name was to
them difficult to pronounce. 1t was
something meaning laughing girl. the
latter part Of it being ''haha.' This
appel!ation was given her on account
of her musical %laugh-not that she
laughed il great deal. for the Indians,
10th men and women. are Il stolid race,
and Il smile is seldom seen on the face
of amy OF them. IIalla laughed only
when especially moved by some happy
condition, and then there was some
thing catching in her laughter. Even
the chief of the tribe was known to
chuckle on hearing it.
One day the tribe to which Haha
belonged pitched its tepees in the
neighborhood of Il family Of white set
tiers named MacDern1ott. who were

the early %elnigrants to that region
were. Il hardy race. especially fitted t.

a son. Donald, was a fine. handsome
fellow twenty years of age and as
much admired by the Indians as by
his fellow whites.
One spring morning Donald, who
was fond Of wandering, struck i
stream on the other side Of which was
a bluff extending perpendicularly from
the edge of the water from which it
was reflected. The bank on which he
stood was a wooded plain. where grew
the wild rye, pea vine and other herb
age, in%terspersed with various flowers.
The birds were singing. the air was
fragrant-indeed. nature was that
morning in it's virgin condition.. unde-
spoiled by man.
Suddenly there rang out a peal Of
melody. a laugh. 1t had scarcely died
away before it's echo came back from
the cliff opposite. A hooking bird on
the branch of a tree yer Donald's
head heard it and was nightly aston
ished. Indeed, he looked indignant
that any creature should dare to make
more beautiful sounds than he. His
throat swelled. and out came a very
good imitation Of what he bad heard
and, like it's predecessor. came back in
reduced volume from the cliff.
At that moment the Indian girl,
Haha, came pushing aside the under.
brush. and Donald saw her stop, part
ing it. and look straight at him. She
was evidently pleased with the stall
wart white a and he was delighted
with the attractive picture before him.
Now. Donald knew nothing Of her
language. and she knew but little Of
his. He contrivcd by words and signs
to ask her why she was so happy, and
she pointed to the cliff reflected in the
water. the wild flowers pcepin.
