Lime Feeds to Prevent

Motherly sacrifices in favor of their
offspring cause. the paralytic cOndi

prevented than cured, DR.. w. e. Car
roll, chief in swine industry at the
college of agriculture, University of
Illinois, is telling the farmers of the
state in response to inquiries about
this ailment.
Frequently, although probably not
always, this trouble is caused by the
sow using an extra large amount of
lime from her own bones to produce
milk for her pigs, Doctor Carroll ex-
planned. This leaves her own bones
rather fragile and In danger of crack

Many critics of tuberculosis eradica-

financial hardship, have, as a rule, re-
NAMED ardent supporters of the work.
The critics are often those on the side
lines. Many owners of cattle who at

of the campaign have become con-
vinced supporters.

Farmer Plays Big Part
in the Spread of Weeds

Man has always been the chief
agent in the spread of weeds. This
human factor in their spread is larger
and more varied than is commonly
realized. By far the greater number
of nOxious weeds have been introduced
into region with seed imported from
same country, where weeds grow with
the crop seeds.
The weeds which come in seed from
such places usually establish them
selves quickly in the new location,
often to a great disadvantage to crops
and native plants.

Agricultural Notes

The only really efficient time to kill
weeds is while such plants are young
and tender.
"Good equipment makes a good
farmer BETTER" but efficient and suffi-
cient use of the equipment is also nee
essary if it is to return profit.
New fields of alfalfa should not be
pastured. If the alfalfa has been seed
ed alone and the weeds become TOO
numerous, the field can be cut high
when the alfalfa plants are Just COM
ing into bloom.

Around the House

Never rub soap directly on silk I'M

Only tender cuts OF meat can be
cooked successfully with dry heat.
Because mud stains leather, It
should be removed from shoes imme-
diately.
Clothes of bright, intense colors tend
to make the wearer look larger than
she actually is.
Baking dishes that are stained from
constant use should be soaked in warm
water and borax.
Dry, whole wheat toast, lightly but.

One way of making the radiator
less conspicuous is to paint it the

It was played last evening by the New York Symphony orchestra and was exceptionally interesting, although not especially melodious.

It would never be confused with a ''Flower Song" or anything like that. It was presented in a masterful manner, however, so we enjoyed its unusual features.
