D|SARMING BOAR
OF HIS TUSKS

The tusks of a boar ought to be kept
short. This not only makes him less
menace to the other animals, but
many hog raisers believe him less
fierce and self confident. writes G. b.
Hill in the National Stockman. An
inch and half in length is the limit
to which the lower tusks should be al
lowed to grow. This means taking
them off once every six months. The
quickest and one of the commonest
ways of disposing of them is to knock
them off with cold chisel and ham,
mer The trouble with this method is
that it is likely to splinter the bone
around the socket of the tusk, and
have even known the iawbone to lie
broken. A much better way is to
break the tusk off with long horse
nippers, or with Il blackSmith's pinch
ers. Or the tusk can be nicked deeply
on both sides with a three cornered
file. after which it can be knocked off
with greater safety, though it is still

TO hold him for this or any other
operation on his head. the following
method is rs good as any: Make Il
small slip moose at the end of Il half

around his upper jaw-that being the

Do not moose both jaws, and never the
lower jaw alone. Take Il turn with

the hog up so he is held short. Then
push him around sideways against the

braced there while you operate. Some

FARM STOCK.

A sow that produces and raises
to maturity eight good strong
pigs twice year is the most
profitable SOW to retain ON the
: farm for several years.
Are you rigging yonr sheep for
: market? Then corn is a good
. feed. For breeding purposes oats
and bran are best.
Skimmilk fed to pigs with
grain enables them TO eat more
. feed and TO make more gain
than pigs on grain alone.
. A well groomed horse resists
. the cold and changes better than
: horse that is neglected.
The sheep and young stock
: should be gotten home and hous-
ell before severe weather.
Never let the young colt get
. thin or constipated. Keep it
growing.

for that reason alone the red hog

A GREETING TO NEW YEAR.

We Can Live 1t but Once, So Let Us
Spend It WorthiIy.
We are on the threshold Of new
year. We do not know what the year
holds for us, but we are not afraid of it..
We have learned to look for kindness
and goodness in all our paths, and so
we go forward with glad hope and ex-
pectation.
1t is always a serious thing to live.
We can pass through any year but
once. If we have lived negigently we
cannot return to amend what we have
slurred over. We cannot correct mis-
takes, fill up blank spaces, erase lines
we may be ashamed Of, cut out pages
unworthily filed. The irrevocableness
Of life ought alone to be motive
enough for incessant watchfulness and
diligence. Not a word we write can be
changed. Nothing we do can be can
celed.
Another element of seriousness in
living is the influence of our life on
other lives. We do not pass through
the year alone. We are tied up with
others in our homes, our friendships,
our comprehensive, our associations,
our occupations. We are always touch
ing others and leaving impressions on
them. Human lives are like the pho
tographer's sensitized plates, receiving
upon them the image of whatever
passes before them. Our careless words
drop, and we think not where they fall,
but the lightest of them lodges in some
heart and leaves its blessing or its
blight All our acts, dispositions and
moods do something in the shaping
and coloring Of other lives
1t is said that every word whispered
into the air starts vibrations which
will culver on and on forever. The
same is true also of influences which
go out from our lives in the common
est days-they will go on forever.
This should make us most careful
what we do, what we say and what
quality of life we give to the world.
It would be sad, indeed, If we should
set going unholy or hurtful influences,
if we should touch even one life un-
wholesomely, If we should speak even
a word which starts soul toward
death.-Rev. DR.. ]. r. Miller.
