Excellent NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All Of Leading Breeds Are Adapt
ed to Economical Production
Keep Animals Healthy.

The use of corn in hog-feeding
should be tempered with judgment
The corn and hog crop go hand in
hand. A man starting in farming in
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
of getting large proportion Of its
feed from grass.
We are apt to make the mistake Of
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes 1t so efficiently and eco
nomically.
No breed enjoys any marked prefer
ence in the markets of the country.
All of the leading breeds are adapted
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential is to have good, Wig
orous, healthy, breeding animals.
Sunbeams, crude carbolic acid and
lime are the best and cheapest disin-
fectant.
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently and a
lump of quicklime dropped in the bar
IClS OCCdSlOndiiy Will dooiSI III hCOPAh6
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management of a
herd of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat-
ural Both are contagious.
II in the fight between health and
disease we give nature little encour-
agement we will come off victorious.
1t is. after all, more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves in that condi-
ton.
We should keep the hogs close COM
pany. study their habits and their re-
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this, humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud is not good thing to feed pigs
in, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible.
A short nose is good, but long
body is better.

TWO CENTURIES OLD
Cold Spring Church at Cape May
Has Long History.
Congregation First Formed by Presby'
terians in Lower New Jersey-Many
Stirring Events circled About An
cient House of Worship.

Cape May.-The Cold Spring Pres
byterian church will observe the two
hundredth anniversary Of its found
ing with appropriate ceremonies dur
ing July. A rally week is to be
held, when an endowment Of $4,000
will be completed and the organiza-
ton placed upon secure basis for
It's maintenance The historical adj
dress is to be delivered by Charles
H. Edmunds of Philadelphia. whose
foreparents lie in its graveyard, where
the dead of Cape May for two CEN
turtles are buried.
When the whalemen Of New Eng
land migrated to Cape May in the
latter part of the seventeenth CEN
fury, the spirit of Presbyterianism.
as spread by the preaching of Jona-
than Edwards, was brought with them,
and the community about Town Bank,
then called Portsmouth, but now
washed by the waters Of Delaware
bay, was formed. Later these people
moved inland to Cold Spring neigh
borhood, and began agricultural pur-
suits.
In 1705 the first Presbytery organ
lied in America was in Philadelphia,
and under this Presbytery the Cold
Spring, or Cape May, church was in
stituted in TIA, being the second de-
nomination to start a meeting house
In the county. Two years previously
the Baptists had started the church
at Middletown, now Cape May Court
House. In 1920 the Quakers started
their cedar Westinghouse at Sea-
vile, in the upper precinct Of Cape
May, giving to each precinct house
of worship. The three original town.
ships of the county thus retain their
names of upper, middle and lower,
and it is in the lower one that the
Cold Spring fishing and agricultural
community was founded and it has
been a community which has brought
forth many of the leading men Of the
country. AS with all ancient churches,
the graveyard was made and began
to be filled, so that the descendants
of those buried there spread all over
this broad land. The first minister
of the church was Rev. John Bradner,
who continued with it for seven years.
The first church was a small log
building, and was not really finished

the late General Sickles.
"A good man." he said, "a brave
man, but a most theatrical one. In
the black tragedy of his youth, he was
kind to his wife, but something
marred, something vitiated his kind

and the poor young woman died two
years after he took her back.

Then again there Is another matter
that enters into the economy of the
feeding question. and that is the mat
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished. There are times when
it will be more money in the feeders
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just off grass, even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do we'll to raise a
high class of feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms, and sell when the prices
are right
Sell when just off grass IL the price
is right and grain foods are high.
Feed well on a variety of well cured
alfalfa, clover and corn stover and

Raise the breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep in

tons in relation to both feed and beef.

OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Profitable Method Of Getting Rid
of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at &c a Pound.
(By G. D. LYoN.)

Some men were looking over a
weedy pasture and one Of them said:
What shall do with these weeds?"
Quick as a flash his neighbor said:
Sell them in mutton at cents a
pound"
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind of
stock will pay him the greatest profit
but on most farms there is room for
a small flock of sheep and at the end
Of the season the money the wool and
lambs will bring will be that much
clear profit
Going back to the first proposition,
that of the weeds that infest our fields
it may be said that while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds, Is not
plan to be advised, they will eat
! nearly every weed that grows upon a
farm and will put on good solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re-
fuse.
The most tractable of all farm stock,
they can be managed with less trou-
BILE than other stock. all that is re-
quired to restrain them being a wire
net fence of the cheapest grade.
The other day l was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds, we were unanimously in favor
Of the breed of sheep that will bring

This is the very season to think of

masters sell off some ewes as soon as
shearing time is over. and unless a
man has plenty of means in these days
he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market, thor
oughbreds being almost out of the
question for the ordinary farmer.

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speakers Says Newspaper Should In
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation Of the
popular family remedies Of this coun-
try, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
tising Of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl J. Balliett, OF
Buffalo, \. Y, at the convention Of the
Advertising Afliliation at Detroit.
Mr. Balliett is a director of the Pro-
prietary Association of America, which
includes in its membership two Lun-
Gred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr.. Balliett pointed out that it is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising OF any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as it is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse TO publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice Of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly we'll are
skeptical. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations OF the operation joke
THE operation was success but
the patient died" This so-cailed hu-
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with we'll people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of a
regular doctor, homeopath, an OsteO-
path, a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
MIR. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $l00,000,000 to $lG0,
100000 annually. He showed that, al
though the American Medical ASsOci-
alton is trying as an organization to
extcrminate so-called patent medi
cines, the family doctor, individually
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 400 of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings Of DR.. Harvey w. WI
ley, he said. have also aimed to de-
