She's become carnivorous reader, of
course, and she frequently importunes
music. But stuck up-my Elsie? Not

waiting while she dresses up. No, she

Some time ago the Smiths attended

named Brown. On the way home,
while exchanging opinions of the
guests, Brown was mentioned.
Speaking of that man Brown Wig
orously remarked Smith, "he certainly
has an effeminate way of talking"
why, JOHN was the wondering re-
joinder of Mrs. Smith, How can you
say that? He certainly has very loud
and masculine voice!"

Smith, but what l mean is that he

VALUABLE HINTS FOR
THE SWINE BREEDER
Pigs Lose Thriftiness and Consti.
tuition When Confined in
Small, UncIean Pen.

In breeding swine, we must consid.
er the type of hog tho market de.
mands.
Never sacrifice good body in order
to shorten the enout or decrease the
size of the ears
Buy boar of some reliable breeder
who has been working for years to
get the correct type of a pig, and
who is prepared to furnish the type
you desire.
With weli-bred hogs your feed and
care will produce the best results.
1t is mistaken idea that breeding
animals, to do WELL must be fed only
enough to keep them alive.
Swine are natives of a tropical cli-
mate and should have warm and dry
quarters.
Feed pig all he can eat without
squealing This can be done only by
watching him eat and knowing just
how much he needs.
Make "sleeping-bunk" for pigs Of
by 4 foot frame set around the
corner of the pen floor in which straw
bedding is put Have it away from
the feeding trough and dirt Locate
it in cool, shady place. The pigs
learn quickly if it is their bunk and
will occupy it. Keep clean.
Is it any wonder that pigs lose their
thriftiness and constitution and be-
come weak in the back with crooked
legs when they are confined in an
by 10 pen that is cleaned but once
a year, and then when the owner has
time. Stop and figure the losses that
result from pigs that do not do well
and are restless, when all they need
to make them comfortable and con-
tented, is the run Of nice, clean
pasture, where they can leave their
droppings to the benefit of the soil.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "Holerins Jones" at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance of noisy but
good-humored cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation of "Hollering Jones'"
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him, both in re-
pose and in his favorite diversion of
'hollering." Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine They showed Jones in his most
violent state
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which it was printed.
Pointing to it, he asked:
Is that me?"
We'll" replied the artist evasively,
~ got the general idea from you, of
course, but"
"Oh, amt takin' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. It's all right; only
If it's me, say So"
IF you put it to me that way" said
the artist, Il can only reply that it is
a fairly good portrait of you"
THE men here on the ranch agree
with you. So look like that when l
holler, do II"
81 think you do"
"In that case" said Hollering Jones,
"all I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.
Hereafter, when celebrates, does
so with a tin horn. In my own opin-
ion, no man has right to look like
that-not round white folks. anyhow"

LARGE PROFIT MADE
in RAISING CAPONS
Most Of Work Can Be Done in
Winter When Time Is PIenti-
full With the Farmer.
(By MILLER PURvIs.)

No one is better situated to raise
capons than the farmer. On the av-
erage farm the additional work re-
Quired to raise from 100 to 200 ca
pons would not be noticed, and the
most of this work can be attended
to in the winter when time is plenti-
full with the farmer.
There are many stories told about
the size to which capons grow, while
the truth is that the ordinary capon
will grow to but one or two pounds
more than the ordinary uncaponized
cockerel would be In the same time,
and to secure this additional weight,
extra feeding is necessary.
In preparation for capon feeding it
is wise tc hatch about twice the num-
Der of chickens as capons desired, for
fully half are likely to be pullets.
The pullets may be kept for egg-pro-
duction or may be sold for spring
chickens, thus securing enough money
to pay for raising the whole flock up
to the time the cockerels are old
enough to caponize, which is about
twelve weeks.
The operation of caponizing does
not require much skill, although the
beginner will probably kill two or
three at the start, which will not be
lost for they bleed to death in about
the same time as if they had their
throats cut and are equally as good
for table purposes as if bled in the lat
ter way.
A set of tools for caponizing costs
from $150 to So and with each set
are sent directions that any one can
follow.
After the caponizing, the cockerels
become docile and quiet they lose
ambition and their combs cease to
grow; in fact they shrivel, and when
fed they eat their fill and then sit
quietly around until feeding time
comes again.
Capons always retain that sweetness
and juiciness Of flesh that are charac-
teristic of the spring chicken-the rea-
son they bring such a high price.
They are fed much as other fowls
are fed, only they get more. About all
they eat goes to the formation of juicy
palatable flesh
A few years ago capons commanded
hardly any attention in the West, and
do not yet bring the prices they do in
the Eastern cities.

Very Effective.

At an English provincial theater not
long since the curtain rose on an
empty stage in the second act of a
play, and by and by meek-looking
young man with dust-coat slung over
his arm came on and loudly called,
"Uncle-uncle!
According to the book Of the play
he should have received no answer to
his call, and after an appropriate pause
should have gone on with mono
logue. But a graceless god" in the
gallery took upon himself to answer
the actor.
"All right, I'm coming in moment.
How much do you want on it?" he
shouted.

1t Is true that warm water is just
as wet as cool water, but it is not so
palatable, and the hogs will thrive
better If they have a cool drink at
least twice day. Water should al
ways be within reach.
Hogs exposed to the hot sunshine,
day in and day out during the sum-
mer will lose much of the gains they
make, even though the clover fields
be of the finest.
The main and only point in raising
hogs is to produce flesh that will
bring the most money, and every little
thing that will work toward this end
should be put into operation.
No farmer that continually stuffs
his breeding sows with corn can hope
to secure the best pigs. Breeding
stock requires more clover, bran, al
falfa than corn.
The short-nosed hog is always to be
desired against the long, slender-faced
type.
The SOW should be long-bodied and
the boar short.

tion as to whether hog gains any

roofing will certainly not hurt him tc

When a pigs tail curls UP in a
crispy, tight sort of way, it is a sign
he feels good, and is thriving. If it
desn't, he needs something to brace
him up.
Some farmers cut off the tails of
their pigs, because they claim it takes
ten ears of corn to raise one tail;
therefore, they amputate, in the inter.
est of economy.
The man who breeds hogs with high
ideals of perfection cannot succeed
unless he keeps an active record of
his breeding operations. He needs a
blank book for the purpose, and must
pay the most careful attention to en-.

An armful of green cornstalks will

COUGH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get foot hold.
 Now isn't 1t reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your run down condition again?
 Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycross, Ga.. says: 'I had a chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time. Vinol cured my cough and I feel stronger in every way"
 The reason Vinol Is so efficacious in such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic. blood build ing iron added.
 Chronic coughs and colds yield to vinol because it builds up the weak ened, rundown system.
 You can get your money back any time if Vinol does not do all we say.
