EXCELLENT POINTS
CONCERNING SWINE
Alfalfa Recognized as of Greatest
Value in Hog Feeding
Care for S0WS.
tBy c. S. MILLER.

If you intend to pillow your blue
grass and clover pastures next spring,
let the pigs have free range over them
until the snow falls.
No other feed for small pigs ranks
as high in value as skim milk. If
you do not have plenty of it on your
own farm, better arrange to get some
from a neighbor, even if it takes
trouble to do it,
In the West alfalfa is now recog
nized as of the greatest value In
hog feeding Give brood SOW plenty
of cut alfalfa with small ration OF
corn. say not more than two pounds
per day. and she will come through
the winter in fine condition.
A slop made of shorts and hot wa

A good many men will tear them
selves from close proximity to not
stove, dash out into the storm. shovel
a few bushels of corn on the ground
for their hogs, and then leave them
to SILVER and freeze without adequate
shelter during the night. These men
are the fellows who are always sure
there is no money in hog raising.

FOR THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
Some Thoughts Concerning That Time
of TribuIation Known as "Mov-
ing Day"

On moving day take little tip
from mother and:
Don't expect to find everything in
its usual place until the van arrives.
Some teamsters are superstitious
about moving gas range with meal
cooking on top of it,
Don't kick If you can't find the low
er half of your favorite suit. Prob
ably mother is wearing it.
Don't object if mother rolls you out
of bed in the morning by pulling the
sheet from under you. She has doubt
less packed all the tablecloths.
Don't raise row if your watch is
missing. The baby has to have some
thing to keep him quiet.
Don't complain if you find your box
of choice cigars nearly empty. The
iceman had to be tipped yesterday for
helping TO move the furniture so
mother could take up the rugs. It's
safe gamble that the grocery boy
viii get the rest of them today.
Don't be too fussy about what you
have for breakfast. Tomorrow you
may have to eat what you leave to-
day
Don't be surprised if you find the
house locked when you bring an I'M
expected friend home to dinner after
telling mother you will eat down
town yourself. You will find the
family at the restaurant around the
corner
Don't wonder why mother is trife
irritable when you return at midnight
from a pleasant evening at the club,
and find her still on the job, doing
things she had asked you to do. Some
things get on woman's nerves.
Don't be annoyed if there is no
answer to your telephone call in the
middle of the afternoon. The phone
isn't out of order The children are in
school and mother is out doing the
errands you promised to attend to and
forgot.
Don't grumble if the dinner looks
rather picked-uppish after you have
said you didn't know whether you
would come home 70 it or not. indie
cision has wrecked greater things
than dinners.-Detroit Free Press.

Takino I'm italian.

Now that German is being ousted
from the curriculum of some of Eng
lands secondary schools, possibly
Italian may be inserted in its place.
Such an alteration would have been
cordially welcomed by Gladstone. "A
favorite topic with Mr.. Gladstone"
writes the present head master OF
Elton, was the preference in English
education of German to Italian. He
used to deplore it, saying that when
he read Dante he felt that he was in
the hands of master, but that the
Germans had produced no first-rate
literature. Sometimes his interlocu-
tor would object that Goethe was a
first-rate writer. The rejoinder was
Certainly not Goethe created q

duty Sometimes a discussion would
arise on this point, but I never heard
that IT reached any conclusion. Pail

Appraiser Values the Herd.
In order to compensate the owner
of his property thus condemned in the
interest of the public welfare, an ap-
praiser is appointed by the state au-
thorities IL value the herd. The sum
thus fixed is divided equally between
the state and the federal authorities.
In the last outbreak in 1908 in New
England it cost the federal govern
ment. which was then paying two
thirds Of the appraised values, ap-
proximately 100000 for condemna-
ton, slaughter and disinfection. The
present outbreak is regarded as much
more serious.
The inspectors engaged in this
work are equipped with a complete
rubber outfit which can be thoroughly
disinfected after each exposure to in
lection. Persons who have not the
advantage of this equipment should
vigorously refrain from exposing them
selves to the least risk of infection.
AS has already been said. the disease
is frequently transmitted by human
beings, and it is really crime for
any one to crafty his curiosity at
the expense of his neighbors. In adj
dition to this danger there are also a
number of cases on record in which
both children and adults have become
infected themselves Ordinarily the
disease is not serious in men, but
weakly children who drink contami-
mated milk suffer so severely that In
a few cases death has been known to
result. With adults the malady usu-
ally takes no more serious form than
slight eruption in the mouth similar
to fever blisters and possibly a SINH
lar eruption on the hands and fingers.
There may be also some fever and
nausea. but there is comparatively lit
tie danger In countries where the
disease is prevalent many authorities
believe that it is fairly general in
human beings but that the consequent
disturbances in health are SO slight
that they are not brought to the at
tention Of physicians.

He put the slippery thing into his
mouth. but retained it there for ex-
Fermentation. The attention of the
company meanwhile was attracted
elsewhere, and when finally the
mother turned again to her son his
face had undergone a change.
Would you like another oyster,
dear?" she asked him.
