HOG GOOD LABOR equalizer
Animal Can Harvest Various Crops In
More Efficient Manner Than Tran
sient Farm Hand.

iPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Practically every farmer can plant
and cultivate larger acreage than he
can harvest.
When the harvest season comes he
iS Overworked.
Also, he has to depend on transient
Tabor which, many times, is bother
some and unreliable.
And. after all, a considerable portion
of the crop may have to 60 to waste be-
cause it cannot be gathered in time.
The hog, helped out by cattle and
sheep, when practicable, is an excel
lent labor equalizer.
He harvests the corn crop more eff
ciently than the transient farm hand
can be expected to do it-and does not
have to be superintended by the owner
of the farm.
He Is equally efficient in harvesting
rye, or clover, or alfalfa, or soy beans,
or COW peas.
When the farmer makes use Of the
cooperative quality Of the hog he has
more time for essential tasks, more
time to look out for his own health
and happiness and that Of his family,
makes more money on the years op-
erations, and has better ground for the
next years crops.
The farm that depends on transient
,lab0rers as harvesters is likely to grow
poorer year by year. The farm that
uses hogs as harvesters is certain to
grow more fertile with every crop.

the brain, that fill 80 much Of The eda.
cational area Of today. Education is
not to make scholars, but true men

means-the outflow Of the divine spirit

knowledge to stifle the spirit, says

to establish the reform and make feel

education. for the brain without the

The way to secure the great reform is
from the inside. Education is not a

should not be guided by false ideas Of
education. They should insist upon
the true idea.

The question Of a federal divorce
law or some unification Of the state
laws has been agitated by churchmen,
judges, lawyers and legislators. Bills
have been presented to congress on
this subject. and amendments to the
federal Constitution have been sug-
gestcd. So fa- nothing definite has
been done, either toward settling upon
satisfactory code to be adopted by the
several states or in obtaining legisla-
ton upon the subject. The present
conflicting laws in force In the sew
eral states have the effect, 1t is said,
Of affording opportunity for fraud and
abuse of privileges and often result in
legal difficulties for persons innocent
of any Ill intent.

disgusting, says Youths Companion.
The royal princes are said to have
plundered the wardrobe Of Queen Eliz-
abeth of Belgium in the palace Of Lac

when the kaiser himself learned that
a Prussian regiment had stolen from
the king Of Serbia an especially beau
tiful silver-gilt dinner service that the
king had used when he entertained
foreign rulers, he demanded it as his

severity of the line and improves the ap-
