ROOFING NATURAL FOR HOGS
While 1t Probably Helps Make Muscle
It Is Otherwise of No Par
ticular Benefit.

Why do hogs root? VIII rings or
other means of prevention have any
detrimental effect on the health and
progress of the animal? Experts at
the Nebraska State College of Agricul-
ture say roofing is just one of the nat
ural proclivities of swine. While It
probably does help make muscle, 1t is
otherwise of no special benefit and has
no particular significance. The fact
that hogs show strong tendency to
plow up alfalfa fields or tear out
foundations of the buildings is no in
dication that they are not getting
proper feed. There is no basis for the
statement that roofing results from
lack of mineral or protein in the ra-
tion. Hogs root for worms. roots and
other food, but they seem to thrive
Just as well when a check is placed on
the extensive use of their snouts. They
also root TO make a cool bed on a hot
day. There is no reason why rings
should not be used where hogs do ma
terial damage roofing.

KEEP YOUNG STOCK GROWING
Succulent Green Feed, Variety Of
Grain, Fresh Water and Shade
Are of Importance.

So long as the young stock have
plenty of succulent green food, a vari-
ETY. of grain, fresh water, shade and
exercise, together with well-ventilated
sleeping quarters, they will grow like
the proverbial weed, but If the growth
Is stunted by the lack of any one of
these essentials, gain is slower even
when conditions become normal than
1t would have been. The poultry
grower gets tired; surely the chickens
ought b be all right for one night
but that very night is the night the
chickens take to pile up. Morning
finds the half-grown stock gaunted:
day or so shows them with the dirty
nostrils that come when the catarrhal
discharge has filed with dust.
A cold from crowding soon becomes
roupy cold unless prompt action
heads it off, and one nights neglect
has cost dearly.
Keep them growing by giving more
room through culling market stock as
fast aslit develops, and by providing

HOW TO USE LEAD ARSENATE
Dry Material Is Convenient to Handle
in Spraying, but 1t May Give
Poor Results.

Dry lead arsenate Is convenient TO
handle in spraying fruit, and it Ia
cheaper than paste, but it may give
poor results, If abused, warns the Illi-
nois Horticultural society, in a recent
bulletin. The dry powdered lead should
De made into creamy mixture before
being strained into the spray tank. To
do this easily, sift 1t into a vessel con-
tanning a small quantity of water, stir
ring gradually. Handled in this way
the results should be entirely satisfac-
tory. Check up on the amount of sedi-
ment in the bottom of the tank at fire.

Mistress of Household Can
Escape Drudgery by EIec-
trio Servants.

, Beauty is more than skin dep
it lies at the center Of the human
heart. It is desired more ardent
ly than jewels and fine gold: its
lure is the incentive to labor and
the inspiration for genius.
But the beauty-sfnse In woman
kind today demands more than that
surface loveliness Jagged Beauty
by the old proverb.
1t sees and desires the beauty OF
cultured minds and souls. and the
beauty of having time to acquire
and enjoy that culture; and it longs

workshops, upon others In the com
munity.
1t sees and desires. also. that
ideal home-beauty which provides
exquisite comfort for families and

In the harmonization of these two
apparently conflicting ideals there
has been discovered a possibility OF

that housekeeping is electricity.

ELECTRIC CLEANER Is
HOUSEHOLD CONVENIENCE

THE DEVELOPMENT Of electri-
cal accessories for comfort and con-
venience to the motorist never
stops. Each month some new de.
vice or appliance for such purpose
Is seen in the electrical shops or
automobile accessory places.
Before any Of the devices are put
on the market their value Is proved
by some automobile firm, they are
passed upon by car manufacturers
and dealers, and they have become
gossip in such circles long before
they appear on the market.
Among such new appliances is the
small sized electric cleaner, which,

swung by its hand strap to the
shoulder and used to clean the car
of dust and CRIME.

It's very seldom that house
wife places a money value on her
time, while the business man in
variably thinks In terms Of his
value to himself or his firm per
hour, day or week. Perhaps this
II because at the end OF the week
q man receives a certain amount
Of money to account for the hours
he has spent working, whereas the
housewife has nothing but the sat
isfaction of work we'll down to show
for her labor.
Should Figure Time.
The question Of whether or not
the housewife should have a regu
lar money recompense xor her work
has been debated pro and con many
times. But whether it is decided
enc way or another, the fact re
mains that women should estimate
roughly the value of their time and
use IL accordingly. The administra
ton of the household finances is
not complete without this. 1t will
show up many leakages which hith
erto may have escaped attention en-
tirely.
II for example, the housewife de-
cides that her time is worth seventy
five cents an hour, would it be
right for her to spend an hour
cleaning and dusting a room by the
d-hard-work method when
with an electric cleaner she might
thoroughly clean the same room in
say, twenty minutes, at cost OF
one-half cent for electricity?
Again, IL II takes six hours to
DO the washing and four hours for
the ironing, using the washboard
and sad iron, as compared with
two hours with an electric washer
and two hours with an electric iron
costing altogether eleven cents for
electricity, would not the saving

small cost Of doing the work cleo
trically?
Good Business.
When one employs a maid. it's
usually true that the work which
takes her the longest is the work
which labor saving appliances could
do In about one third the time. Her
time should be evaluated and rated
In tn efamily budget according to the
amount she receives in wages. II
electric laborsavers will multiply
her value to the household, then they
are worth dollars and cents in the
home management.
It's not surprising, Of course. that
the average housewife seldom thinks
Of her household affairs as a man
would Of his business. And it's no.
to be wondered at that she doesn',
usually value her time in terms OF
% much money. But for the sake
Of better management she should
learn to adopt the business attitud
toward 1t. The housewives time Is
too valuable to be spent In menial
