Soy bean seed spoilS rather easily II

be used in curing and storing. After
threShing the beans should be watched
carefully to avoid heating and mold

such danger. A good plan is to spread
the beans out on the floor immediate

over from time to time until they are

room should be dry and have free

as follows: Pigs weighing less than
weighing 80 to 100 pounds, one tea
spoonful; large hogs, two teaspoon
fuls. Each pig should be dosed sep
arately If the best results are TO be
obtained. Castor oil should always be
given with oil of American wOrmseed.
Other laXatives are not satisfactory.
Dangerous to Drench Hogs.
Drenching hogs is dangerous, as
they are liable to get the remedy into
the lungs. With sufficient assistance
pigs may be held, the mouth kept open
by means of IL couple of loops of wire
or rope, or leather straps, and the
medicine given in a tablespoon or
large kitchen spoon. BY this method,
though it is troublesome, one may be
certain that each pig gets his proper
dose. After dosing with the above
mixture pigs may be fed and watered.
Repeat the treatment in ten days.
Change Pastures Frequently.
Healthy hogs become infected with
intestinal worms from feed, water and
soil which have been infested by the
droppings from infected hogs. Ere
quent change of pasture is one of the
best means of reducing worm infesta-
ton to minimum. Hogs. however.
should not be allowed to run at large
on open range. rs this favors the
SDrpad of hog cholera
Swine can be raised when they are
confined in limited quarters if the
quarters are kept clean. but they will
do much better and stay in better
health If they have plenty of pasture.
Divide the pasture into convenient
areas, so that the hogs can be shifted
from one pasture to another. This
not only provides fresh pasture. but
affords an opportunity to disinfecr
the pastures by blowing and reseeding
or by exposure to the sun and weather.

now there begins to be a great hope

different quarters. and voices Of many

Quickest and Cheapest Way Is to In

The quickest and cheapest way Of
adding to our meat supplies is to in
crease poultry and egg production. To
double this production next year will
give us 6.5OOOO0.OOO pounds of meat
food in the form of poultry and eggs.
by having this amount of poultry food
for domestic consumption We will eat

Finds Ancient
 Memorial Stone On Grant Farm
Relic of Early Americans Flowed up by J. L. Reap
 Near Saline River.

A relic of early Americans. of whom history telleth nothing was plowed up by J. L.

It sthree and-a. half inches across from the tips of the blades, and three inches wide. It is about three-fourth of an inch thick, and weighs probably less than a pound.
 MT. Reap sent a drawing of the relic to the national museum at Washington, D. C., together with a description, and information of the place where it was found. The mus cum director replied, saying that to send it to, the museum, promising that he will be we'll paid. MT. Reap says he has been told that it is the tyird stone of the kind found nthis country.
 The Reap farm, where the .memor- ial was proved up, is situated three miles southeast of Mckinney, and about one mile from the Saline riv. CT.
