For a Warm Bed.

There are lots OF people who say
they can't sleep with their windows
open wide at night because. no matter
how many blankets are on the bed,
they become chilled from the air dur.
ing the hight.
This is very simply and easily rem
ldied. The chilling comes from beneath
the bed The mattress and the linen
or cotton sheet retain little heat and
are easily penetrated by the air from
the window.
Try spreading a woolen blanket un.
d6S meath the bottom sheet Ths
blanket beneath win keep the body's
heat nom escaping downward. as the
blankets on top keep 1t from escap-
ing above. You will be surprised to
see how snug and warm the bed be-
comes.

FEED MAKES PIG PROFITABLE
Good Feeder Keeps Improving His
Herd In Quality and individuality
Good Ration Counts.

There are too many farmers and
even breeders who seem to hold the
idea that a pig can feed himself and
that their whole duty ends when they
have supplied the food. A good feed
er can keep improving his herd In
quality and individuality and is there
fore progressive and successful. while
the poor feeder may take the best to
be had. and in five generations be back
TO scrubs. This is the difference be
tween good feeding and poor feeding.
This is where the feeder has more
influence than the feed.
Il Is clean waste to give the pig
so or 80 per cent of his iced In corn
or meal when perhaps not more than
one-half that amount Is needed In
building the various structures OF MS
body. The balanced ration Is what
counts. That is intended 20 be COM
posed OF such materials as are needed
by the pig to build all OF his growth
TO furnish the bone and the MUSCLE
and all parts in proper proportion. IL
Is shown time and again that two val
liable feeds. when combined. make a
better feed than either one separately.
because It comes nearer balancing the
ration.
1t is only OF late that the opinion
Is spreading among farmers In general
that the feeder is one OF the important
factors, both in the success OF breed
err and also that OF pork raiser The
modern hog is an artificial product,
and is more readily responsive to good
treatment. or the reverse. than any
other farm animal No matter how
much you may pay for pedigree or
individuality. II you do not know how
to feed your hogs Will be but little bet
ter than scrubs.

SOME PECULIAR CLUBS

One OF the oldest OF social clubs
ever established in London was the
Everlasting club. limited In member
ship to 100 The members divided
the day amongst them In such a way
that there were always some members
present upon the club premises. The
club house was burned down at the
time OF the great fire OF London, when
the only remaining member on the
premises was nearly burned to death
because he had refused to leave be
fore he had emptied all the bottles on
the table The fire for lighting the
members pipes was never allowed TO
go out. an cid woman being kept sole
ly for the purpose of attending to it.
During the so years OF it's existence
the members smoked 90 tons OF to-
bacco drank 10000 butts OF ale. 1000
pipes OF port, and 200 barrels OF
brandy. besides other drinks
Another extraordinary club was the
Signing club the members OF which
were supposed TO be wholly absorbed
In thinking OF their sweethearts. Each
would hold in his hand bit OF rib
bon. a lock OF hair. a purse, or some
other article belonging to the object
OF his affections, and from time TO
time he would address this In terms
OF endearment. On initiation the
members had to compose and recite
poem in honor OF his lady. and at
the meetings fine was imposed upon
the member who did not sigh FIVE
times within quarter OF an hour.
The Surly club had its meeting
place near Billinsgate FISH market. and
the membership was limited to cab
men. and watermen. who used to meet
once a week to exercise the art OF
abusive language. in order that they
might not lose the reputation they had
gained. Any member found guilty OF
courtesy or politeness was promptly
fined
A club limited to men who agreed
to stint themselves TO the utmost. in
order TO increase their possessions
was the Split-Farthing club One
member is reported to have had his
garments so darned that there was
not enough OF the original material
left to show the texture. The mem
bers presented so starved an appear
ance that It was said there was not

will the ewes II turned into the open
during the hours OF daylight.
There are many farmers who keep
their lambs and ewes housed up until
the pasture is long enough to turn
them In permanently, says an Indiana
writer in the Farm Progress. Even
though the lambs are very young, a
long sun bath daily will work wonders
with them. II will be good for the
ewes, and still better for the lambs.
II possible, the southern side Of the
sheep barn should be utilized for this
purpose. as II will keep the young
sters out OF the wind most OF the
time.
Play is the very blood of the young
lamb. and when he is playing he Is
growing. II he lies down in the wind
he will chill easily, so the southern
hillslope for the pasture lot In the lee
OF the barn will make an ideal place
for him to spend the days while he is
waiting to be turned into the summer
pasture.
Young life needs exercise IL II 10 to
do well. The lambs that are kept In
the shed from the time they are
dropped until they are few weeks
old will get a bad start. II Is mistaken
kindness to house them In close quar-
ters when their young legs are aching
to be out in the open. They will be
far more thrifty II allowed to spend
hours in the sunshine. OF course
they must be sheltered on rainy. chilly
days, and in long periods OF COOL
damp weather when the wind is high.
It takes some time and a good deal
OF trouble to shift the ewes and lambs
from their quarters in the shed to
the lots and back again daily. In
freedom from diseases. quick GROWTH

that It costs the shepherd.

chimes without number. My verdict
is that not one in a hundred women
knows what causes the machine to
run hard or how to remedy II.
The first idea OF most women In
whose homes find entry is to oil the
machines with kerosene, and-well.
this treatment does ease them for a
few hours
But the applying OF kerosene is by
no means a happy thought. for ma
chine oil and kerosene In combination
make a paste. which soon results In a
friction that is harmful for the com
plicated parts OF the machinery.
My advice to the unknowing is that
she should move her machine on a
sunny day to window and open It.
The suns rays cant be too warm
Then let her al her oil can with clean
machine oil and place II in pan OF
water on the stove until IL beats tc

both safe and easy. Now the already
warmed machine should be treated
