NOT A MATTER OF PIETY Brother Jones Had His Own Reasons for His Close Perusal of the Scriptures. The parson of a small country church was rambling along the road when it suddenly occurred to him to call on a citizen named Jones, who was known to be rather indifferent about church attendance. The place was soon reached, and entering the ^garden gate the pastor was surprised to see Jones sitting on the veranda with a large Biol ' in his hands. "Ah. Brother Jones," said the par son with a smile of satisfaction. ”1 am glad to see you so attentively perusing your Bible.” "Yes,” responded Jones. "There are times when it comes in mighty handy.” "Perhaps I might be able to help you." generously volunteered the dominie. "\Vere you looking for any particular passage? ’ “No,” was the startling reply of Jones.

Success-making mental and physical activity relies largely upon right living wherein the right kind of food plays a most vital part In many cases the daily diet lacks certain of Nature’s elements essential to energizing and upbuilding the mental and physical faculties. Most white flour prod" ucts, such as white bread and many other commonly used foods, are in that class. A food especially designed to offset this lack— Grape-Nuts —made of wheat and malted barley, supplies all the nutriment of the grains, including the mineral salts— sturdy builders of brain, nerve and muscle. Grape-Nuts is thoroughly processed, ready to serve from the package, fresh, crisp and delicious. Then, too, there’s a wonderful return of the power to “do” and to “be” fqr the small energy required in its digestion. After repeated set-backs thousands have found a change to right eating means forging ahead. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Sold by Grocers everywhere. THREE PRIME ESSENTIALS IN HOG RAISING First Prize Small Yorkshires. (By S. C. MILLER.) There are three essentials for health, thrift, and gain to be con sidered in the management of hogs, in order *o obtain the best results; these are clean food, pure water, and dry, comfortable sleeping places. The food of the pig should be as clean as for any other farm animal— that is, it should not be mixed or contaminated with any substance that contains no food value. Dirt and filth taken into the stomach along with food, impair digestion and reduce the gain; they also affect the appetite and general health of the pig. Then, too, a considerable part of the food con sumed is required to develop energy to separate and expel the indigestible matter. It is a law of nature that the excre ment of all animals is poisonous to themselves, and while pigs may profit ably follow cattle, it is of vital im portance that their food be not con taminated with their own excrement. This means that pigs should never be fed on the ground in a yard or pen where their own excrement abounds. Feeding on the meadows or pastures, moving about from place to place is a good way in summer. In the winter, of course, feeding from the cribs is necessary, and to insure cleanliness at that time, there should be a feeding floor which should be cleaned after every feed. Over 40 per cent of a fat pig is water and a reduction of water supply below the natural requirements, will reduce the gain just as 3urely as a ] reduction of food will. Well or spring water is better than water from ponds or streams. Standing, or stagnant wa ter about the barns or lots should not be tolerated. Pigs should have clean, pure water always at hand, day and night: they drink but little at a time, yet often, and if it is not always accessible, they will not get as much as is required for normal development Anything that can be done to in crease the comfort of the pigs will, as a matter of course, add to the gain ant’ profit in feeding. Good care of pigs means good breed ing, good feeding, constant watchful ness. more labor, closer attention tc little details, and finally, more dollars' in the pocketbook. Feed the old and young sows sep arately, as the old ones may hurt the younger ones, and they will get more than they should. The mature sows are more desirable, but it is always necessary to grow a few gilts to re place some of the older ones. Breeders should prize above all oth ers those big, growthy, long-bodied, rather loosely made young sows, no matter if they have big ears and rath er coarse heads. Avoid being a market-chaser, and sell when the hogs are ready to go; that is. when they have reached a condition when it is no longer profit able to feed them, except for specula live purposes. It does not require great ability in figures to show that there !s a great deal of waste in selling hogs when they are only half fed out. It seldom pays to feed corn to pigs after they are ready to he marketed. Corn is not as perishable as fat hogs. It can be kept until the market ad vances. As a general proposition tie pig of 200 to 250 pounds is what every grow er should aim at. and it is the pig that pays both killer and feeder bet ter than any other. USE OF SPRAY FOR PROTECTING STOCK Flies Are Very Troublesome to Farm Animals, Especially Nervous Dairy Stock. Af. this season flics are very trou blesome and are a source of much bother among stock, especially the •tervous dairy cattle. A preventive in fhe form of a spray should be used, ■"here are a number of methods some Vimes recommended for this purpose, some of which are supposed to keep flies off the animal by virtue of their bad odors or greasy nature, and some which are supposed to be sprayed on to kill the flies. Considerable doubt exists as to the benefits to be obtained from using any of these treatments, or as to the relative value of the different ways of combating flies. For spraying the backs of cattle at milking time, there is possibly noth ing more reliable than kerosene emul sion. The following recipe given by the United S'.ates department of agri culture is on& of the best ways of mak ing this: Disrolve one-half pound hard soap in one gtllon of hot water, and while still a-" near boiling point add two gallons ~.f kerosene, and emulsify by use of a to'ce pump or agitator of some kind, ftilvte with water, one part emulsion to eight parts water, and use is a spray, dip or wash. SOME DAIRY COWS ARE HARD TO MILK One Remedy Recommended Is to Oi* Teat Freely to Soften SKin, Then Use Force* (By R. M. WASHBURN.) Some cows are naturally bard to milk; otters are made hard by weak handed milking. A woman or child with hards not strong enough for milking oiuses a cow to become hard for anyone to milk. To cure such a cow, oil thr teat , freely befce starting to milk, so that the oil will work into and soften the skin. Th?n milk the cow with as much force as possible, squeezing hard. Th‘s treatment will us tally nure an ordinary hard milker. Once in a great while it is neces sary to cut the muscle surrounding the inside of the teat with a 1-mce iike knife. This, however, is very likely to ruin the cow if not done with great care to avoid cutting too thuch and causing permanent leakage. It also makes a sore which is pain ful to the cow at the time of milk ing. and if dene when the cow if not giving milk, the wound grows together and the muscle becomes tighter than before. Don't Lay Many Eggs. Yearling aad two-year-old hens do not lay many eggs in the fall, as they are malting at that time, and the feed they consume goes not only to keep up the energy and life of the birds, but also to put on or grow a new coat af feathers. Costly Shipping Crates. Poor shipping crates are costly things. Too many broken eggs at the other end Better pay five cents more for a good crate than to have half-a dollar’s-worth of eggs smashed. GOOD METHODS OF PRESERVING EGGS Solution Recommended Is One Part Water Glass to Ten Parts of Pure Water. iBy R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) There are several good methods of preserving eggs but the water glass method is best. Water glass can usual ly be purchased at a local drug store for less than $1 a gallon, making the cost about one cent for each doren eggs. The receptacle used should be an earthenware jar of from five to ten gallons. The eggs should be placed in the jar each day, when gathered, as the fresher the egg the better it will keep. Care should be exercised to see that none of thv eggs is cracked, or the whole jar of eggs may be spoiled in a short time The jar should be placed in a coo. cellar, a piece -Jf oiled paper or some other water-proof cover should be placed over to prevent evaporation. If this is not done, any eggs that ap pear above the liquid will spoil rap idly. The eggs should be kept at least two inches below the surface of the liquid. The solution recommended is one part of water glass to ten parts of pure water. ROUGHAGE IS MOT RELISHED BY HOGS Doubtful Whether Animals Wil! Consume Mere Than Grain and the Softer Parts. The digestive apparatus of the hog does not permit it to consume large quantities of roughage, and corn si lage does not as a rule prove s> very satisfactory feed. However, some o! our readers have fed silage to hogs and have reported good success, hut it is doubtful whether the nous will consume more than the grain and the softer parts when being properly fed Silage in some cases proves a de sirable addition the winter raiirn and will give good results when fed with care to brood sows. Legume silage is to be preferred to corn silage for this purpose. Moldy or spoiled silage i3 not good for any animal and hogs are no ex ception to tbla rule. If they are being fed a sufficiency of other feed there would probably be but little danger in allowing them to pick over the spoiled silage. Colts Must Be Kept Fat. Draft colts particularly must have full feeding.' and they must be kept fat from the first. Sounc Stable elcors. To make the stable floors sound and solid costs far less than to let a hprse go through and perhaps break a leg or become lame. Lambs of High Type. The first cross of a good, high-class ram, on a rather inferior lot of ewes, will bring lambs of much higher type. Reliable Cow Test. Signs often fall in the selection of a cow, but the scales and the Babcock test can always be relied upon. NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL DOES HEAL SICK SKIN!
