Growing Spirit of Thrift.

There is a growing tendency on the
part of the people everywhere to be
more thrifty, to save more and to hus-
band their financial resources as they
never did before. This quality is be-
ing preached from the pulpit, in every
schoolhouse and in every well regu-
lated newspaper, the country over 1t
is developing a characteristic in peo-
pie for which they will be the better
off, more independent, more seif-re-
liant, more sturdy and more resource
full The tendency is among the best
signs of the times. A factor in this
education is the newspaper advertise
ments of various banks appearing in
the columns of the press of the coun-
try. These are causing the people to
think, to save and grow more thrifty
than ever. This form of advertise.
ment is a form that is not only help
ing the banks, but also the people,
turning their attention to a subject on
which they need to think deeply. The
bank ad is responsible for much good.

PIGS WILL THRIVE
ON PUMPKIN FEED
Regarded as One of Most Profit
able and Succulent Feeds
Farmer Can Grow.
(Ry S. c. MILLER

/ regard pumpkins as one of the
most profitable and cheapest feeds the
farmer can grow upon his farm. We
grow tons of pumpkins every year to
be fed to the pigs in this way. The
especial value of the pumpkin is in
its being succulent food; it keeps
the digestion good and assists in as
similating the food.
We weighed so pigs that were born
in June and July, 1913, and on the
18th of October they averaged 1O6
pounds. November 18th they aver
aged 1862 pounds. December 18th
they averaged 1871 pounds, and on
January IL weighed 227 pounds, hav-
ing made an average gain of 1.27
pounds per day during the last month.
The average daily gain for go days
was 1.31 pounds.
This lot had no extra feeds; no
clover, soy beans,nor vetch pasture.
We had some pumpkins during the
fall-until nearly the first of Deem
Der.
We always begin feeding them just
a few at a time until they learn to eat
them, then We give them all they will
eat as a MONDAY feed.

Growing draft colts have seldom. if

An alfalfa pasture is q splendid

maximum of bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the hui

season are hard to get in fosl This
trouble seems to be more OF less local
and can be avoided by temporarily
keeping the mares in other pastures.

Because of the comparative ease
with which alfalfa may be grown in
practically all parts of this state, it
should form a portion al least of every

GREAT ADVANTAGE
OF HUMUS TO SOIL
Question Never Should Be Over
looked If Farm Is to Be
Kept Up to Standard.

Except on soils nearly or quite vir-
gin, there are few farms where humus
cannot be used by the soil to great
advantage In many sections where
commercial fertilizers have been used
for years to the exclusion of stable
manures it has been found necessary
to grow green crops for blowing un-
der. Where the green crops are used
as part of the rotation, so to speak,
the exclusive use of commercial fertil-
izers can probably be safely continued.
The best results come from the COM
bined use of stable manures and COM
mercial manures, using the former for
blowing under in the spring and the
latter for top dressing or working in
just under the surface as the crop
grows. In this manner the humus re-
quired by the soil is supplied and the
fertilizing value of the manure as we'll
Don't overlook the humus question
If you would keep the farm up to the
highest standard.

Different METHODS
TO PRESERVE EGGS
Use of Lime Water and Water
Glass Solutions Have Been
Found Most Satisfactory.

OF all the different schemes which
have been proposed for the home
preservation of eggs. but two have
really proved practical and service
able These are immersiDg in lime
water or in a solution of water glass.
Among other things, housewives
have tried packing eggs in salt, wrap
ping them in paper, or covering with
wood ashes, and poultrymen have
sought to carry their supplies from
periods of low to periods of high prices
by treating the eggs with paraffin
alum solution, collodion, etc. The re.
suits have invariably been the same
loss from 20 to 80 and even 100 per
cent. Experimenters have had the
same experience and so far have
found the use of lime water and wa
ter glass solutions the only satisfac
tory methods.
One of the very best experiments
ever tried in the preservation of eggs
was that made several years ago by
German investigator. He endeavore6
to preserve 400 eggs for eight months
by 20 different methods. The follow
ing we're his results:
