Record For Long Tenantcies.

A record for long tenantcies has
been made at Montezuma. For TWEEN
ty-two and one half years William
Bradley occupied the Clark farm I'M
der a partnership arrangement The
last formal contract was executed
many years ago. The farm was kept
stocked and the rotation system OF
crops followed all to the mutual sat-
isfaction of the parties. The partner
ship was terminated because of MIR.
Bradley's health. He had planned
to quit farming in the spring. a new
ter ant was to take his place then. A
casual suggestion was made that Il
would be a nice thing for "a new tenant
TO buy him out and take immediate
possession. A bargain was made and
within ten days the Bradleys had given
possession.
Contrasted with this long tenantcy
was one in the neighborhood wnere
continued cropping was followed for
years. One forty acre field was not
seeded down for twenty years. Neither
party. to the arrangement protited by
the policy adopted by the owner and
the land was left in poor condition.

If hair IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
HERE'S GRANOMOTHER'S RECIPE
TO DARKEN AND 6EAUTlFY
FADED HAIR.

ing 4 mixture Of sage tea and sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t

application or two Of sage and sui
phur enhances its appearance q hun
dredfOld.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients at a small cost, all ready for
use. 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always
be depended upon to bring back the
natural color and lustre Of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyetb's Sage and
SULPHUR Compound" now because It
darkens 50 naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or SOFT
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand al
time: by morning the gray HAIR mas

ready-to-use preparation IS a d"ilsnt-

.sAvE THE eoWs" 10
SUGGESTED SLOGAN FOR
FARMERS TO ADOPT

Selling q brood SOW at this time, &C.
cording to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, is like killing the
goose that laid the golden eggs.
When pork is selling at IS cents or
more pound ON the hoof, the hos
breeder may be tempted to turn into
cash all that he can sell; yet the de-
partment points out that the value Of
a brood sow which will produce such
hgih- price d,offspring is proportionately
increased and she should be kept as
the source Of further and future pro-
fits.
Since the beginning Of the war the
number of swine in all countries has
decreased, and the decrease has been
marked In some of the belligerent
countries. In France, for example. in
the three years just before January /,
1917 the number Of swine decreased
3S.12 per cent; during 1915 the number
in Germany decreased 31.47 per cent.
Breeding stocks are being depleted,
and the department says that the sit
uation Is already critical and threatens
to become very serious II the country
continues to be drained of its meats.
Hogs furnish meat more quickly and
cheaply than other stock can; the
meat shortage, therefore. can most
readily be met by swine production. 1t
has been calculated that the possible
increase from one sow is 1,0O2 pigs In
four years, on the suppositon that all
filters consist CO six pigs, that all live,
that half are females, and that each
gilt should farrow at one year and
every six months thereafter.
Another cause of the depletion of
breeding stocks Is probably in the high
cost OF feeds. While concentrated
feeds have gone up, the department
says that some Of the expense Of
carrying breeding stocks may be cut
down by the use of green fall forage
crops, pasture. alfalfa or clover hay.
Brood sows may be maintained in fair
condition at comparatively little ex-
pense by the use of such feeds. By
sowing in the corn, or as cover crop
on land which is likely to wash, SOW
Ing rape. or planting root crop, the
cost of wintering eows may be reduced.
In brief, the department strongly
recommends a campaign to save the
sows as one means of helping to meet
the threatened meat shortage.

All horned cattle intended LOT 'ho

,,hara are advantages in dehonrnins

cattle more easily and safely hahu'eu

The most common method Of dehorn-

FOR this purpose an ordinary meat saw
can be used, tho there are saws GA
the market that are especially design
cd for the operation. By this methoo
, pood clean lob can be done on any

in a condition to heal readily.
The use OF dehornins clippers Is De-

where a large number OF cattle are ~

horned before the horn becomes hafo
and brittle. The chief objection TO oe-

nartly overcome by using clippers tnat

blades. which, when pressed togelhei
bring four cutting edges against lhe

or splinter the horn.
number Of methods OF restraining
animals during the dehorn!ng opera

a few head are to be dehorned, the
the quickest way Is to throw the am
