PIGS WILL THRIVE
 ON PUMPKIN FEED
Regarded as One of Most Profit able and SuccuIent Feeds
 Farmer Can Grow.
CBy s. C. MILLERD

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 a 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 11th of October they averaged 106 pounds. November 11th they aver aged 1461z pounds. December 11th they averaged 1s7h pounds, and on January II weighed 227 pounds. hay ing made an average gain of 1-27 pounds per day during the last month. The average daily gain for s2 days was 1.31 pounds.
 This lot had no extra feeds; no clover, soy beanssnor vetch pasture. We had some pumpkins during the fall-until nearly the first of Decem- Der.
 We always begin feeding them just a few at 8 time until they learn to eat them, then we give them all they will eat as a monday feed.

GREAT ADVANTAGE
 OF HUMUS TO SOIL
Question Never Should Be Over looked # 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 a 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 well.
 Don't overlook the humus question if you you'd keep the farm up to the highest standard

to endure much hardship. Another advantage of the dates over meat is that they keep splendidly, if kept from insects. There are many tempting ways of serving dates, the manner most common of stuffing them with various things like nuts, fondant. cheese, is commendable. but there are more and better ways of serving them to our families.
 Delicious Sandwich FiIIins-Take two cupfuls of date paste, which is dates put through a meat chopper, and a cup of peanut butter. rubbed smooth. Makes a most appetizing filling for sandwiches.
 Dates with various cooked cereals are always liked. and are especially good for growing children. Give them such fruits as figs. dates and prunes and they will not care to make candy orgies which will leave them i'll for days.
 Another good combination for date filling for sandwiches is this: Two cupfuls of dates, half cupful of lemon juice, a half cupful of peanut butter and a dash of salt Grind through the meat chopper and mix well. Keep in jelly glasses. cover with paraffin paper.
 Dates in baked custard, dates in tapioca and dates as filling for cook ies. dates as pie and cake filling are some of the delicious dishes which may be prepared at home. Dates, apples. celery and nuts make good salads.
 Dates cooked with rice as a pud- ding: Add to a quart of milk a cupful of stoned dates and a quarter of a cup full of vice Sweeten and bake in a slow oven.

Alfalfa Pointers.

of Nebraska:
 Alfalfa Pointers.
 Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed but must be fed with judgment and care. Because of its palatability. mature horses are likely to eat too much all talfa. if permitted to have free access to it.
 The average farm horse at hard work Is allowed to eat much more al talfa and other roughage than he really needs to maintain his weight.
 One pound of alfalfa or other hay and about one and one-fourth pounds ,f grain per day fer each 100 pounds of the horses weight make a good ra- ton for the working horse.
 Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse from the cattle racks is very accepta- ble to horses.
 Feed mature horses first and sec Jnd cutting alfalfa which is free from mold and dust
 To make the best horse hay. alfalfa .hould be allowed to stand until well ut in bloom.
 Curing Horse Hay.
 In curing horse hay it is well to Keep in mind that the dust which Is present in so much alfalfa is largely a result of the presence of foreign moisture such as rain or dew at mak- ing time rather than the presence of a little moisture within the plant after 1t Is cured.
 Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses A sudden change of feed deranges the horses digestive system. Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a regular part

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

Of all the different schemes whicn have been proposed for the home preservation of eggs. but two have really proved practical and service able. These are immersing 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 so 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 a German investigator. He endeavored to preserve 400 eggs for eight months by 20 different methods. The follow ing were his results:

of their ration are seldom troubled from its use.
 If alfalfa hay is stored in the barn for horses, 1t is well to sprinkle 1t generously. while moving it away. with a mixture of salt and air-slaked lime, equal parts.
 Growing draft colts have seldom, if ever. been injured by eating too much alfalfa and oats.
 Good, well-colored alfalfa is of prac- tically the same composition as wheat bran and is of equal value to 1t in the horse ration.
 Mature horses of a greedy disposi- tion. If allowed to run to alfalfa racks at will. may eat too much and suffer attacks of impaction. Draft mares heavy in foal, and taking but little exercise. not infrequently suffer at tacks of this nature.
 Splendid Place to Develop.
 An alfalfa pasture is a splendid place to develop draft colts with a maximum of bone and muscle.
 Some complaint comes from the hu- mid regions to the effect that mares on alfalfa pasture during the breeding season are hard to get in foal. This trouble seems to be more or less local and can be avoided by temporarily keeping the mares in other pastures.
 An alfalfa patch forms a splendid night pasture for work horses. provid- ed they are used to it and turned out regularly.
 Because of the comparative ease with which alfalfa may be grown in practically all parts of this state. 1t should form portion at least of every horses ration.
