Nesbit. 4 Overfeed may be bad, but under feed is still worse. Keep the young animals growing. Little chance of overfeeding. One good cultivation during a dry spell is as effective as a shower. Try it stick to your job. The farmer Is the most independent of any class of workmen. Hogs thrive best when allowed to graze. It Is economy to provide suit ably fenced fields. A bit of woodland fenced in with the pasture provides the ideal condi tion for the stock. In sections too far north for crim son clover, barley and Canada peas make a good cover crop. Borax and sugar dissolved in boil ing water and placed where ants are troublesome will drive them away. The sow with young hogs should never be pastured with other large hogs. It means trouble with prob able loss. It is better to spread lime over the field to be bo treated a week or two before putting In the wheat or rye. The drill can be used In spreading lime. Tobacco waste and salt mixed in proportions of about one part tobac co to five of salt should be kept before the sheep at all times so they can help themselves. Where this is done there is no trouble from stomach worms. Dr. L. L. LewlB, of Oklahoma, points out that a great many farmers when they obtain a remedy for hog cholera dispense with all precautionary meas ures and rely upon the cure for their protection. Dr. Lewis points out that tliis method is folly and that strenu ous precautionary measures should be kept up during any course of treat ment. He says: "Hog cholera Is an infectious disease and may be carried in a number of ways from infected pens to hogs that are healthy. Run ning water is a very active means of spreading the disease. Pens contain ing diseased hogs and located along streams make the water dangerous for all other hogs below them. Out breaks of cholera can often be fol lowed considerable distances along water courses. The Infection may al so be carried by the clothing, wagons, crates, or, in fact, by almost all means of communication between farms." The handling of the pigs intended for breeders should be entirely differ ent from those Intended for market. They should be pushed for rapid growth, but must be fed for a growth of frame and bone; not fattened on corn, but expanded by a feed rich in protein. ' At six, eight or ten months of age, they should show more length if body and more scale than market hogs, and be smooth and well covered, but not so fat as for market This can be very easily done by feeding a mixed grain ration, with ten per cent, of tankage or ten per cent, of oil meal. Use corn, barley and oats ground to gether, mixed thickly with water, and fed at once while sweet. It Is much better to mix three pounds of milk to one pound of grain. It one has no milk the next best feed is ten per cent, of tankage. If one has the corn and does not want to buy the mill feeds, he can use 80 per cent, of corn and 20 per cent, of tankage and have a well-balanced ration. ' f ' Plants are really ninlature pump ing stations and arts constantly busy pumping the land dry of its moisture. They work through the power of cap illary attraction. This is the same power that draws oil up through the lamp wick and that makes the towel absorb water. Every grass plant, ev ery wild flower and weed, all nbrubs, bushes and vines and all t ees are steadily at work during the summer and more or less at other seasons pumping up the water day and night from the ground In which they grow. , Some of this water Is used by the plants themselves for their growing needs, yet much of It Is allowed to pour out of a thousand little spouts from each plant, which Instead of falling back upon the soil to be reabsorbed is transformed into a very thin water vapor and floats away In the air to be prlcipltated at some other time and in some other plaoe. .' All of this pumping is invis ible to our gross vision, but the fimount of water lifted by wild and cultivated plants over the area of a single county of a single state In one day amounts to thousands of tons of Hauld Liberal rations and commodious quarters make for splendid sheep gains. Filthy troughs are sure to breed dis ease among the hogs. Keep things clean. Very little more trouble or expense to raise a blooded animal than It is to raise a scrub. Poultry confined to a run must have green food supplied them if tbey are going to thrive. The mouse in the granary Is a vis itor which the thrifty farmer will not suffer to remain. The nearer poultry can be kept in the natural state the hardier tbey will be, and the greater profit they will re turn. Been swimming or fishing this sum mer? Take a half day off and go with the boys. It will bring dad and the boys closer together. High prices encourage sheep raising, but don't jump Into the business too brashly. Begin In a small way and work up. Buy a few ewes and a good ram. i It ia the thriftless farmer who is certain that farming does not pay. Neither would any other business pay handled in the ame way as he does the farming. 1 Could some farmers be made to un derstand the aggregate damage which vermin of variouB kinds cause upon their farms they would be more dili gent in fighting them. The. dust bath must be provided for the fowls. They will co-operate with you in keeping them free from lice. They enjoy rolling in the dry dust and it drives away the vermin. Plant roots find a feeding ground at a much lower level in drained than undrained soils, as tbey find condi tions favorable for such growth. Worms, ants and other insects burrow deeper, These worm holes and root channels permit a more perfect aera tion and oxidation, until the whole body of the soil down as deep as it has been drained becomes a fit home and feeding ground for the roots of our plants. Don't use blinders, for these relics of barbarism there is no possible ex cuse. They are entirely unnecessary and decidedly hurtful to the best serv ice from the wearers. They detract from the natural beauty of the horse and prevent the full use of the eye sight that Nature endowed him with. Instead of acting as a preventive from fright at the sight of strange objects, they render him suspicious of many ordinary things coming within range of his obstructed view, thereby mak ing him unnecessarily nervous and over excitable if he is a creature of mettle. Man has no right to deprive the horse of one of his keenest senses through the use of the punishing blinder. The wheat straw infested with Hes sian fly breaks over just above the joint, which, while it varies consider ably in location, is usually a relative ly short distance above the ground. If the grower will carefully pull the leaf away from the stalk v.iere It is broken over he will find lying In a little dent lengthwise in the straw an oval, dark-brown seedlike body one- fourth of an inch or less long. This is the "flaxseed" stage of Hessian fly. and is sometimes improperly spoken of as the "eggs" of the fly. Some times, through careless handling or other causes, the "flaxseed" will be gone over and only the little dent In the straw left as evidence of its for mer presence. If the grower does not find the "flaxseed" in the first ex amined he should continue to examine broken straws until he does find it, or until he Is convinced that the fly did not do the work. Cow testing associations are doing good work in Wisconsin, and the sys tem might profitably be tried in other dairying sections. These as sociations are -of two kinds, the "$1 a cow plan" and the "50 cents a cow plan." In the former the Dairymen's association furnishes a man to do the work of weighing and testing the milk of the individual cows In the herd at an expense of $1 a cow for the year. There are generally 26 members in each association, so that tests can be made once a month on each farm. Under' the second plan the farmers themselves weigh and sample the milk from their cows for one day each month and bring the samples to their creamery or cheese factory, where they are tested by the operator at an expense of 50 cents a year a cow. The associations in Wisconsin at present are generally organized on the 50-cent plan and are all under the supervision of the State Dairymen's association. These asso ciations originated in Sweden about 18 years ago and gradually spread throughout the Scandinavian and north European countries. Denmark alone now has 480 associations, and the net profits of Danish dairy farm era have been increased over 75 per cent, and in some cases more than 100 per cen Much Virtues InThAt "If."

Everyone at once recog nized that the use of the new fuel would add materially to the advan tages which the White already pos sessed over other types of cars. There were some people, however, who were sceptical as to whether or not the new fuel could be used with complete success, and, therefore, the makers of the White Car, the White Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter mined to make a public demonstra tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild den Tour. From the standpoint of the public, no test more satisfactory could have been selected. First of all, the dis tance covered on the Glidden Tour, from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses, if such had existed. Still more important was the fact that the car vas at all times while on the road under the supervi sion of observers, named by those who entered other contesting cars. Therefore, it would have been impos sible for the driver of the White to have even tightened a bolt without the fact being noted and a penalty in flicted. At night the cars were guarded by Plnkerton detectives and could not be approached by any one. SPOILED. Biggs Waiter, this steak is too tough to cut. Take it back.

No man oan be strong who is auSering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach sod its associated organs, which im pain digestion and nutrition.

The complete success of the new fuel while on the 2650-mile public test and the advantages gained through its use were well described in the following dispatch which the correspondent of the New York Sun sent to his paper at the conclusion of the tour: "A feature of the tour which was watched with special interest was that the White Steamer used kero sene, or 'coal oil,' aa fuel Instead of gasoline. The new fuel worked splendidly throughout the 2650-mile journey, and all claims made in Its behalf were fully proven. First of all, as regards cheapness, the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap er per gallon than was paid for gaso line. Secondly, the new fuel . was handled without any precautions, and it was not unusual to see kerosene being poured into the fuel tank while the crew of the car and an interested crowd stood by with lighted cigars and cigarettes. At the finish of the tour, the White was the only car per mitted by the authorities to enter Convention Hall, where the technical examination took place, without draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the new fuel proved td be absolutely without smoke or smell. Fourthly, kerosene could be purchased at what ever part of the route was most con venient, and not once during the trip through the ten States of the Middle West was there found a grocery store where kerosene was not readily and cheaply obtainable. Finally, the Not Ambiguous at All, The donkey Is or has been asso elated with party politics in other countries besides our own. In one of England's elections a can didate for parliament, the late Lord Bath, called attention to himself by means of a donkey over whose back two panniers were slung, bearing a ribbon band on which was printed: "Vote for Papa." It must be added, however, that in each pannier stood one of Lord Bath's daughters. Youth's Companion. A Suspicious Silence. Howard was only 20 months older than the baby.

A guilty conscience is apt to be its own excuser. amount of fuel used on the trip showed that kerosene is at least fifteen per cent, more efficient, gallon for gallon, than gasoline. The car in other respects made a most creditable showing, and there was the usual riv alry among the observers to be as signed to the White so that they could ride with the maximum of com fort The only adjustments or re pairs charged against the car during the long trip were tightening a lubri cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud guard. These penalties were not in flicted until more than 2000 miles had been completed with an absolute ly perfect score." s A particularly interesting feature of the new White Steamer is that either kerosene or gasoline may be used as fuel. The necessary adjust ments so that the fuel may be changed from kerosene to gasoline, or vice versa, may be made in a couple of minutes; but so completely successful has kerosene proved to be, that it is not believed that any purchasers will care to use gasoline. The White Company report that the demand for their new steam cars both the (2000-model and the $4000-model exceed their most san guine expectations. It is evident that the combination of steam the pow er which everyone understands and has confidence in with kerosene the fuel which everyone has on band and can handle without any danger is thoroughly appreciated by up-to-date purchasers of automo biles.
