Pigs at Weanins Time on Cowpeas. of live weight, will be found most sat isfactory.
 Dry-lot rations that will give satis- factory returns are not easily obtain able. Corn is most often used as a basis of the ration. Mill feeds, ship stun, bran. etc, with some protein feed, as alfalfa, tankage. oil meal. soy beans, or cowpeas, should be used to balance the ration. Where milk is available, it can be used to adyan- tage, as noted before. It is best to feed a full ration. or what the pigs will clean up in a reasonably short time when in a dry lot For pig weighing 15 to 50 pounds live weight a full ration for one day would be about six pounds of grain per 100 pounds weight, and for the larger pigs the ration will continue to grow small CT in proportion to weight until the 300 to 350-pound pig will only consume Q daily ration equal to about 2.i per cent of his weight.
 For feeding on native pasture a smaller percentage of protein is need ed than in the dry lot, but some high protein feed is still needed. Pasture feeding is better than dry-lot feeding under most conditions, because it in duces exercise and gives succulence to the ration, causing the animals to keep in better health in this way. Bluegrass pasture is used extensively and is usually considered economical by the farmer. During the early sea son it is . valuable feed. and if some forage is provided when the blue grass dries up it can be made to pro cuce gains at a very low cost.

BACKACHE AND KIDNEYS

Dear Mir. Editor:
 For the benefit of others, I gladly give this statement regarding the merits of "Anuric." Am nearly 76 years of age. I suffered from back ache, weak back. rheumatism, and could not control the excretion of the kidneys. I can safely say that An uric" the new discovery of Dr. Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo. N. Y. has done me more real good than anything l have ever taken for these ailments. Signed-Mrs. x. NJ. Flint.
 NOTE:-A new remedy, called An uric" has been discovered by Dr. Pierce. It cures backache. headache and the tarting pains and aches of rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles. This "Anuric" is g times more potent than lithia. and dissolves uric acid, as hot water does sugar.

 Losses are caused often by using i'm. potent serum. or serum not properly tested.
 Giving too small doses, even of good serum.
 Underestimating weights: making doses too small.
 Vaccinating sick pigs already infect ed with cholera and which may not wis ibly show sickness.
 Careless methods. Vaccinating dirty pigs. Unclean quarters after vsccina- tion. Failure to disinfect instruments. Failure to disinfect skin at site Of vac cination. Exposure of serum to dirt. Storing serum in warm place. Pour ing serum in unsteriiized vessel.

Prevention and Treatment of Ds. eases Bound 10 Result in
 FaiIure-CaSeS Cited.

CBy r.. R. HABNER, Idaho Experiment
 StatinnJ
 There is no doubt that the more complete our knowledge of the cause of a disease the more perfect will be our means of prevention and the more rational our treatment of the same. The reverse is equally true. If our knowledge is based on a fallacy, our prevention and treatment is bound to result in failure.
 Most of the fallacies regarding ami mals and their diseases have been handed down from one generation 10 another. and the most of them haven't the least ground for existence. The following ones belong to this class:
 I. That there arc certain signs of the zodiac during which castration of animals is highly unsafe.
 ?. That there is drug or combina- tion of drugs which is specific for certain disease. regardless of it's form, intensity or complications.
 3. That we can cure systemic dis eases by such magical treatment as pouring water or other fluids into the ear.
 i. That medicines to te effective must have a noxious odor, taste or origin.
 ,. That we have such diseases as hollow horn" lost cud' and wolf in the tail"
 6. That animal life from its origin to death is in great part influenced by mysteries.

CLOVER BETTER FOR
 WINTER NURSE CROP
Late Pasturing and Cutting Are Especially Dangerous-Give
 Crowns Protection.

A thin seeding of grain is the best insurance of a good stand of clover. A half bushel or three pecks of grain as a nurse crop will protect the young clover plants. and at the same time give them room to grow.
 Winter killing is often brought about by not allowing the clover to make a good growth in the fall. If the farmer cuts his clover late or pastures 1t down so that it goes into the winter without good protection to the crowns. he often finds much of it dead in the spring. Late pastur:ne and late cut ting are especially dangerous t. the clover field

Oldest Weather Reports.

The oldest weather diary known to
be in existence was kept by Lincoln
shire (Ens) parson, William Merle
close on 600 years ago. From 1887 to
1874 he wrote it up, often day by day,
in Latin, and his manuscript, being on
vellum, was somehow preserved and is
now in the Bodlcian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey influences" but stuck to
an accurate record of fact, in the spirit
at least Of the modern meteorologlsts.
And from his jottlngs it seems that he
had pretty much the same kind OF
weather to deal with as folks in his
