1t is an understood fact that the great

that man rose every morning the year
around, filled. his bath tub with cold
water, and plunged into 1t. And within
fifteen minutes after you had made his
acquaintance, he would inform you OF
that fact, In quiet tones and In an OH

would drop some casual reference to

There's another similar disseminator
of arrogance, and that is the man who
never takes anything to have teeth

Aud now that am dealing with puz-

the inventive genius Of our country has
never devised . way Of fixing single
horse grocery wagon 80 that the driver
can get on and off with ease and safety.
Whenever catch . ride with grocery
wagon driver. l mount very gingeriy,
and get off with equal care. There is, TO
be sure, a step, which is frequently only
a few inches from the ground. But 1t Is
generally long and difficult reach from
that to the footboard of the wagon, aud
usually it is practically impossible to 60
from the footboard to the step In dis-
mounting. In fact the driver generally
uses the shaft az q step. This is faced
or reinforced at that part with piece OF
narrow, smooth and slippery iron, and
SLAMS at quite an angle. The driver
skips on and off with an agility acquired
by long practice, and doesn't seem to
mind. But should think it would save
him considerable If he could do his days
work of much getting on and on IN
comfortable way. There may be some
express wagons in this part Of the coun-
try which have q good comfortable rig
for mounting, but l have never happened
to see them.

FEW HINTS FOR P0ULTRYMEN
Warm, but They Must Be Dry and
Free From All Drafts.

While the hen houses must not be
kept too warm they must be dry and
free from crafts If you wish your
fowls to be healthy.
It is claimed that the flesh of fowls
car be favored by feeding herbs and
spices. This Is common practice in
France, and it is done to some extent
in this country, especially in feeding
celery to rpasters.
Don't forget that the hens want
plenty of fresh water even II the
weather isn't hot. Laying hens are
heavy drinkers as 80 much Of the egg
is composed OF water.
Save the feathers. They have q
market value and they also make nice
cushions and pillows. Dry the feath-
ers thoroughly before putting them
into any cases.
You can beat the hen raising chick
ems II, you give your mind to 1t, as
your brain should be better than a

chickens you must learn from your
own mistakes as we'll as from the
hens.
Over feeding should be recognized

tive disturbances is fatal to quick

foods and the feeding to keep your
chicks at work.

FREQUENT ulTTERs OF PIGS
Experience Shows That Sow Growing
Eight Youngsters to Maturity
Twice Yearly Is Best.

A litter of eight good pigs from a
pure-bred boar, mated with choice
sow, will require less feed, and when
grown will produce so pounds of
meat per pig more than scrubby
ones, thus making 400 pounds of ad-
ditional meat without additional ex-
pense.
Experience shows that a SOW that
grows eight pigs to maturity twice a
year is more profitable than one that
produces more pigs and fails to de-
velop them. Usually the SOW has
sufficient milk for eight, and when
they are allowed to suckle six to
eight weeks the pigs are In prime
condition to wean without having
any setback.
The SOW can generally be bred sue
cessfully on the third day after wean-
ing, and it is no trouble to have her
produce two filters year if you
give her the proper attention. Watch
her on the twenty-frst day after
breeding, and if necessary turn her
with the boar again.
