Pleasure and pain are only different
constitutions of the mind, sometimes
occasioned by disorders in the body or
sometimes by thoughts in the mind.

An observant man, in all his inter
course with society and the world,

tention to give 1t.

Buttermilk in PIG Ration

Where pigs have been on open pas
ture or have had green stuff during the
spring Or fall, the addition Of some
thing to take the place of this pasture
is necessary when they are penned
up in the winter if you expect best
gains. For this reason dried or con-
densed buttermilk has been used to
very good advantage.

Live Stock Hints


The man who didn't follow the
crowd, and who has nice lot of
porkers ready for market, watches the
price go up with more than common
interest
ALI classes of live stock need hay.
Even hogs can make good use of
limited amount of hay, particularly
soy bean hay. They not only consume
the seeds but eat the leaves.
This is the time of year when hogs
show lack Of pasture by their growth
and general appearance. Little pigs
from late filters are likely to make
poor gains through the winter unless
they have some special care.
A little sweet skim milk is O Valu-
able thing for the pig from three
weeks of age on. In fact, there is
nothing that can quite equal 1t. But
termilk may be fed, but it is so liable
to be of inferior quality that 1t Is not
as safe as skim milk.

The following is Il single sentence
from an article by DIR. Frederick Mote
in the London Lancet:
Seeing that every sensation and ev-
cry mental image or engram leads to
a reflex activation which may be ap-

along proprioceptive neuronic systems

The farmer is facing a clumsy :

The farmer is facing clumsy and
expensive system of distribution
which can be cured largely by CO.
operative marketing if we are not
sidetracked by this old enemy ever
present to defeat great purpose.
If our so-called economists would
dig deep enough to discover real
causes of Improbable production and
bury this old and decayed scarecrow
they would nerve agriculture far bet
ter. The farmer is only interested in
fair treatment and due consideration.
We are entitled to the elimination
of worthless food substitutes, pro-
lection against cheap labor, assist
ance in distribution along the line
of cooperation and we will take care
of ourselves.
Do not try to convince us that we
can prosper as producers without
anything to sell. The farmer is a
long way from market when he has
no farm products to offer.
Only a few years ago we were fac
ing a so-called over-production OF
eggs in this state with a car of two
more than was being consumed at
home. Now, with train loads moving
out Of the state, we hear no such
complaint.
Thirty years ago, when the North
west was producing one to two mil
lion pounds of cured prunes, we had
so-called over production; today,
with forty to fifty million, all go into
consumption. The same story is true
Of apples and all other fruit in this
state, with production increased
many folds.
What of increased production of
raspberries and all other berries
We do not hear Of nearly so much
over-production now as when we had
very little to sell.
The lettuce industry, developing
and expanding until hundreds of cars
go out each year, is in far better con-
dition than few years ago when we
were making no shipments out OF
the state.

The hunters OF Africa say that the
hippopotamus carries his dentist
around with him. The latter is in
the form of bird which accompanies
the big animal in his wanderings, and
after indulging in full meal the
hippo will stretch out i'm comfortable
position and with its mouth wide open
will give big grunt or two, and this
is the signal for the bird, which flies
into the animals mouth and makes a
round of the latter's teeth, picking
the molars perfectly clean Of all par
ticles :.ss. 4 ss
The big animal seems to enjoy this
treatment as much as the bird, which
gets big meal without the labor of
doing much hunting for it.-Rehoboth
