A thing that viii add TO the cieanli-
Ness OF the milk Is a screened milking
stall Some viii say this is spreading
on too much. but really il Is only Il
little trouble and expense and adds
greatly TO the comfort OF the COW as
well as the healthfulness OF the milk.
All the openings in the stall can he
screened in or the windows could be
covered with mosquito netting that
would last one season. and the cost
would amount TO very little. The cow
should be turned In there TO milk. and
both the COW and mixer would be
more comfortable. to say nothing OF
added cleanliness of the milk.

BRIEF FARM NOTES.

The most practicable means of con-
trolling grasshoppers is by the use OF
poisoned bran bats or the modified
Criddle mixture.
1t has been found that few thor
ough applications of crude petroleum
TO the interior OF poultry houses will
destroy completely the common red
mite infcsting chickens.
A device has been originated by spe-
cialisfs OF the department OF agricul-
ture which promises more satisfac-
tory and practical application of the
hot water treatment for the prevention
of loose smut of wheat and barley.
: Extensive researches by plant pathol-
osists OF the department of agriculture
upon the development of crown gals
upon plants show that these gals,
which are caused by bacillus. have

Diversity Of Farm Enterprises.

In most cases where studies on The
profits N farming have been made,
particularly in our oldest agricultural
districts. such studies indicate that the
most successful farms are those which
have from two to four major sources
of income-namely. they have n wei
balanced and diversified business. In
certain instances 1t may pay better 10
have only one enterprise. but usually
when one crop pays much better than
all others the production OF il increases
rapidly and soon the price falls 10 the
point where other crops or products
are equally as profitable. Diversified
farming Is often confused with farm
ing where there Is little Of every.
thing and not much of anything. Either

Is very low then live stock usually be-

would eat, this being supplied In self

We come now to the third and final
chapter In the career OF these shoats.
On Nov. Is they were sold for S9.15
per 100 pounds. and they tipped the
beam at 1900 pounds. or an average
of 333 pounds each. The gross selling
price of one pig paid for the original
nine, and. while no record was kept OF
the corn consumed. every practical
swine breeder will see at glance that
these pigs paid handsome profit even
though they were fed high priced
grain. The incident shows the posi-
bilities OF realizing profit In pork pro-
duction when there is plenty Of good
common sense nationally mixed with
the right kind Of food given In the
proper manner.

Valuable Farming Facts
CUT TREES IN WINTER.

Tree cutting should be done In win
ter Timber dries slowly at this time
of year. and there is little damage
from season checking.
Logs are handled economically i'm the
winter months. points out Charles A.
Scott. state forester of the Kansas
State Agricultural college. \ sled can
be constructed on which four times as
many logs can be hauled as ON wheels
II logs or posts are eut In winter
they become well seasoned before they
are set. and proper seasoning Is the
most economical preseryatiye treat
ment one can give To posts or.poles.
All the great Industrial concerns.
such as railroad. telegraph and tele-
phone companies. that use enormous
quantities Of timbcrs. specify that they
must be cut between Oct and March

suits have been obtained by cutting at
this time.

Hogs In the cornfeld or on fun
feed Of corn should have tgnkagc or
iinsecd oil meal To balance the ration.
In "hogglng down corn hogs should
have access 10 tankage In a self feeder.
In this way they balance their own ra-
ton and save the labor OF husking the
corn and the feeding OF the tankaec by
hand. Even when fed by hand hogs
should have n supplement- OF tankage
or oil meal IN order 20 stimulate the
secretions and digestion and build

fed In n slop or dry In trough. Either
way Is satisfactory. About one part Of

a balanced ration. while one part Of

and shoats need more protein than
older hogs. As the hog grows older
and fatter the protein supplement may
DE decreased somewhat and good re-
suits secured.-S r. Simpson.

Harrison. like General Jackson. did not
ride in a carriage to the capitol. Both
rode on their white chargers of war,
and both were followed by mammoth
narade composed of the soldiers OF ISL.
There was great popular rejoicing, and
the only thing which married the day
was a snowstorm, though General Har-

exercise. He rode slowly ahead of the
gay procession with uncovered head.

The presidents illness continued, and
just one month after his Inaugural
ton the news of his death brought sor-
row to the entire nation. Vice Presi-
dent Tyler was sworn in.
The inaugural of James X. Polk
lacked enthusiasm. 1t can be said that
the United States was practically with
out a president on March 4. 1s49. The
day fell on Sunday, as II does this year,
and James X. Polk retired from office
on Saturday March 8, while the new
president. General Taylor, was not In
augurated until Monday, the 9th. The
constitution expressly states ''he shall
hold Office during the term of four
years" The additional words. 'or I'M

constitution.

who was practically forced TO accept
the presidency.
Franklin Pierce. who was inaugural
ed March 4, 1858, stirred the multi
tudes by his tolerant ideas about
slavery. He was admonshed to leave
it out of his address, but he insisted
on letting the people know that he
stood for the institution as limited by
law. The strife, quarrels and disor-
ders begun on the day OF his inaugura-
ton grew to be the warmest topic be-
fore the congress.

SfanUGT FNiiltd JdCFSOH WIFE,
The Inauguration Of Andrew jack
son carried with IL feeling OF revenge
and bitterness such as has characteriz-
ed but few of our presidential induc-
fions. In fact, he proclaimed that his
gife's death was the result Of the
batefulness of campaign Of SANDER.
After Jackson served for two terms
he planned to have his former secre-
tary of state and present vice presi-
dent follow in the executive mansion.
The election Of Van Buren, was, as
Parton says. "as much the act OF jack
son as though the constitution had con-
ferred upon him the power TO appoint
a successor" TO arouse further indig-
nation Van Buren, retained Jackson's
cabinet, the only new member being
Joel r. Poinsett, secretary of war. Van
Buren, announced, Il shall follow in
the footsteps of my illustrious prede-
cessor.' He rode TO the capitol in n
carriage made of the timber of the
frigate Constitution, presented to him
by the Democrats OF New York. The
inaugural ceremony was as usual, but
the crowds were missing.
