When one has a number of hogs to feed the trough is not always the best thing to use for the purpose for the swine arc apt to break it down or else are unable to get the food fast enough to suit them and so get to quarreling. One of the best methods of feeding is a large pan or floor made of cement and rough logs; this may be of any dimensions desired although it is best made just wide enough so that the animals j can feed from both sides which will ac complish much in the way of keeping them out of it with their feet. Make the frame of rough lumber or of logs cut in half and some six or eight inches high. Fasten this frame securely at the corners and also fasten securely to tho floor so that the swine will not root It up. Then mako a floe r inside of cement, not making it very thick hut of about the same grain as would be used for a stable floor. If desired the framo may include a board floor over which the cement floor Is laid. Tho edge will prevent the corn from being pushed aside and trampled upon. It is not in tended to use this feeding floor for slop or for soft food of any kind but only for grain, roots and roughage. The illustra tion shows the plan clearly and any one can easily build such a floor, which, If carefully made will last for years. INDIGESTION IN HORSES. When the horses have been worked hard all summer and fed pretty well this good feeding is quite likely to be kept up quito late in the fall even though the hard work materially slackens and the horses pass tho most of the time in the barn. It Is during this period that tho heavy feed ing is likely to make trouble and cause in digestion, which If not cured In time, Is likely to develop Into something more seri ous. Exeyclse must bo freely given horses whoso actions indicate stomach derange ment for this alono may quickly remedy the trouble. Also see that they have an abundance of fresh water and that the stables are well ventilated. Feeding should always be done after the horse has had what water it wants. All corn should be cut out of the ration and oats fed In the morning and at noon with bran mash at night in which Is mixed a little raw lin seed oil Increasing the amount of the lat ter gradually until the bowels move freely. The hay given should bo first class and comparatively little should bo fed and this In the morning only; preferably It should be well wet before feeding. The horses should have no other roughage and the bran mashes should be kept up until the tone of the stomach is In normal condition again. A horse Inclined to indigestion should have a lump of rock salt in the manger at all times. KEEPING NESTS IN GOOD CONDI TION. The writer Is somewhat cranky on the subject of nests In the poultry, houses and especially during the winter for experi ence has shown that they are good breed ing places for vermin; indeed, sixty per cent, of the lice in the poultry house can bo traced to tho nests, about thirty per cent, to the roosts with the other ten per cent, distributed throughout the house. Not only should the nests be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week but care should be taken in placing them in the house. If possible they should be placed in dark sides of the house and if this can not be done then arranged so that the hen can enter from the back or side and thus have it as dark as possible. The laying hens will feel more secluded, 'other hens will not be tempted by seeing eggs in the nest and there will be no draughts of cold ’air from doors and windows to disturb tho laying hen. We should give more thought to the process of egg laying and cater to the instinct of the bird to whom mother hood is at the bottom of the eggs she pro duces and instinct teaches her to find a dark corner for the purpose. She is not yet so far from the wild state that she has lost this instinct and we will be the gain ers if we humor her as much as possible. BUYING CHEAP TREES. There is an almost universal complaint among fruit growers that the trees ob tained from nurseries nowadays do not possess the vitality nor bear the quality of fruit that did trees years ago. This is un doubtedly due to the fact that the demand for trees at low prices has induced nur serymen to obtain their scions for propa gating purposes from trees in the nursery rather than from selected bearing trees. In other words, the individual merit of the tree from which to perpetuate is no longer considered. We appreciate the value of proper breeding with our stock but can see only the cost of the tree when It comes to that part of the Investment. It is ex pensive for nurseryment to obtain proper material for first class trees and such trees cannot be sold for a few cents each. Fortunately there is likely to be a decided change In this condition for some of the larger nurseries are preparing to offer trees at different prices, strictly In accord ance with the excellence of the tree In all ways. As these men are reputable there will be no doubt about honest dealings. Twenty years ago, when our first orchard was set, wo paid 25 cents each for apple trees in hundred lots. Last year we bought better looking trees for eight cents each but we do not believe they will bear fruit to compare with that given by the trees of the old orchard for many years baciv. Don't forget there Is such a tiling as false economy. SELECT SEED CORN NOW. Undoubtedly the corn to be used for seed which is allowed to mature on uie standing plant is much to be preferred but If the corn Is harvested when this Is read then tlis next best thing Is to make the selection for seed before [he crop Is placed in the crib or In bins. Every corn grower knows Just what he requires In seed corn and should select ears width will give him re sults accordingly. After selecting the de sired ears protect them properly during the winter. There Is no better way of doing this than the old fashioned one of .ying the tars to the rafters of the house n tin* dry attic. Any suitable place will do ..it . must be comparatively coo! and lioroi. hly illy and the corn must be a, d . .. that vermin cannot get at It; for iuaii it ought never to bo put ini barrels, boxes or baskets and stored away in this manner. The time Is shortly com ing when farmers will learn to select their seed corn with due regard to the growth of the plant as well as to the ear; this will la? done In the field, as the corn grows, the plants marked and then the corn properly cared for so that the yield per acre will be gradually Increased and the quality of the product Improved. Until one gets to this point tlftre is no need of using the sweep ing from the crip for seed wrhen a little careful selection nowr will give much bet ter returns in the crop next year. AGAIN THE ATTRACTIVE PACK AGE. One may say that it is the contents of the package rather than the package it self which sells the goods; this is true to the extent that if the attractive pack age contains poor goods consumers will not be likely to buy a second time. On the other hand It cannot be denied that W’hen goods of equal equality are packed in. tw'o lots one in attractive receptacles and the other in poor, worn and possibly broken packages, the attractive ones will soli first and bring the highest price every time and the fact that the city consumer is educated to the attractive package is all the more reason why the farmer should make an effort to get his share of the high prices by putting up his products in at tractive packages. It may not bo policy, for one reason or another, to have fancy packages, but, at least the box or the bas ket can be clean and Us contents placed In it In attractive form; not all the fine specimens on top, but all through the bas ket. This advice Is particularly timely at this season of the year when fruit is be ing marketed In small packages and wiipn the consumer Is anxious to have the best and pay a fair price for It. The plan is worth the careful attention of the man who sells anything to the consumer di rect whether it be vegetables, fruit, poul try, eggs, butter or what not. SOME DESIRABLE BAJRN FIXINGS Some time ago In this department sug gestions w'ere made concerning the keep ing of certain conveniences on hand, in the barn, in the even of slight tveidents. Then there are certain small tools w’hich every farmer ought to keep in the barn at all times to use when occasion requires. We have a tool box in the barn in which a few supplies of this kind are kept and they have been found very useful more than once; moreover, they are not to be removed from the barn, another set being kept at the house. Two soap boxes were divided into proper compartments and fastened to the side of the barn wall; in them are a hammer, a large pincers, a email combination pincers and wire cut ter, a monkey w'rench, nails of four or five sizes, a paper of large tacks, about three dozen screws of assorted sizes, a lot of harness buckles, some waxed threads, such as shoemaker use, some small screw eyes and screw hooks, a sewing awl, a punching awl and a few other small tools, not forgetting a small but sharp hand saw. These things cost but a trifle and being always handy one Is never at a loss to make at least temporary repairs quick ly should occasion demand. One other thing kept in this box should not be for gotten and that is a sharp knife. The pocket knife which most farmers carry is generally satisfactory for most purposes, but sometimes when it is most wanted it is In the pocket of “the other trousers.” PROTECTING THE YOUNG ORCHARD. There are a number of wrays of protect ing the trees from mice, but the first thing to do is to clear a space for three feet around the tree so there will be no grass or other vegetation growing to tempt the mice to build winter homes. The wire guard Is very effective and al though the idea is not a new one by any means all orchardists do not know of It. Buy some of the wire screen such as Is used for the windows and cut it in strips about eight by fifteen inches. Wind each of these strips around a handle of a broom and tie them in place for about ten min utes. Then take them off and unwind them just enough to pass around the trunk of the small trees; let go of them and they will tighten up again, but the edges not being fastened they will expand as the tree grows hence do It no harm; let them stay in place winter and Bummer until they rust out. Before placing these in position scoop out the soil at the base of the tree for about three inches, put the end of the wire shield down in this space and fill in again with the soil. This plan is better than placing a mound of soil around the tree although this can be done if the tree needs protection from the win ter and then the wire protector set in the top of this mound. VENTILATING THE CORN STACKS Sometimes a streak of foggy or rainy weather will cause the stacks of corn in the field to mould badly, which may be overcome if a ventilator is used. It may be said that it wmuld not be practicable to have this device because of the number needed for the average field. This Is true to a certain extent; but it w'ould be pos sible to make a considerable number of such ventilators during the winter w'hen other work is not pressing and by their use the stacks could be made much larger than at present. These racks are made of rough lumber or, if one has access to the woods, poles could be cut which wrould answ'er the purpose quite as well. This rack is not of necessity used in the field, If*** but can be used near the ham after the stalks have been garnered and In this way a considerable quantity can be stored. It consists of four upright pieces each ten feet long which are used as corner posts; cross pieces are fastened on all sides six or eight Inches from the bottom these pieces being three feet long; a set of short er cross pieces Is provided for placing at about the middle of the rack and another set near the top the latter pieces each be ing eighteen Inches long. The Illustration shows ths construction of this rack clearly. fmGH ClassE)rugg1sts^ I AND—OTHERS. | ITho better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific, attainments and high integrity, 1 who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and J scientific formula.. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but ■ always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. I They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes ■ all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and ■ best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. ■ The earning of a fair living, with tho satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits 1 conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, i3 usually their greatest | reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of J Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they § are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest I remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out tho genuino article bearing the full M name of tho Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. V They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and % of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they aro glad to soil it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immonso demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to bo found, hero and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whoso greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on tho package, but they never have tho full name of : the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on tho front of the package. Tho imitations should bo rejected becauso they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations I they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes M i off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which I does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on tho front of the package, ■ he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so xmfortunato as to enter his ■ establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and 1 and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of 1 physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. | Knowing that tho great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand f for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- f where, in original packages only, at tho regular prico of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions I exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return a any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— M California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the M article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of tho better class of ■ druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.^k _ ■■IIIllllll"PfilllllliMiiii MIXED FARMING BSjpran WHEAT rvyB or squeeze.
