This will aid digestion nnd give lone to ilie system. In this re*i>e't sulphur to the amount of one teespoonful every two or three weeks has sometimes beeu found beneficial Probably one of the most common and at the same time beneficial prepara tions In this res|>eot Is prepared from charcoal, wood ashes and certain other adjuncts which are considered to tie beneficial to tbe health of the Itoga be i lng fattened. The following mixture line been recommended: Six bushels of corncob charcoal that haa been well crushed, with one bushel of ashes, eight pounds of salt nnd two quarts of nlr slaked lime. Dissolve one and one-half pounds of copperas In hot wa ter, sprinkle It over the mass aud thor oughly mix. Put this Into self feeding boxes or somewhere where It will be protected # froin the weather and let the pigs partake of It st will.—W. J Kennedy, lowa Agricultural College. Moisture Limit In Butter. The present law states that butter containing over lfl per cent water must pay a tax of 10 cents per pound, slncp It Is classified as adulterated. It Is quite necessary that buttermakerr be absolutely sure that the butter they nre milking does not exceed the lfl i>ei cent limit. For the benefit of those who have not the means of testing their product fur percentage of moisture Professor Farrington of the University of Wli consln suggests that they need have nc fear of exceeding the lfl per cent limit If they will wash the granules of but ter with cold water at about 50 degree! F., allowing the butter to stand In thli* water until the granules become hard end firm. Then, after draining off the wafer, wash and allow the butter to stand In tbe chum some time until It drains rather dry. Sprinkle the salt over this aid rive It tbe usnal amount of working. Excessive moisture Is he'd In butter that Is soft and not thor ouglily drained. Value of Coal Aahet. Coni ashes are a valuable product of most every home. They should be sifted as soon as taken from the stove or before they got wet, as when once wet they are very hard to sift and not nearly so good, says Farm Journal They are better for a dust Irnth for poultry than road dust, ns they nre not nearly so heavy. Then, too, the poultry eat quite a lot of them, which they use In egjTsliell formation, if coal ashes nre used freely on the drop ping boards there will be no fonl odor present In the coop, and by their use the ammonia In the manure la entire ly retained. The droppings should then be kept dry until used. The coarse ashes make Ideal walks. Dig the foundation about ten Inches deep, fill In the bottom with smull stones or gravel and put the coarse ashes ou top Care of Cured Pork. Coburn In Ids work on “Swine Hus bnndry” snys: “Such portions us art not to be smoked should be stored In brine before insects appear, and tin smoked meat tuny, like the hntue ol commerce, Ik 1 covered securely wit! canvas nnd whitewashed or packed well In bran, dry ashes, cats or studied corn. For considerable quantities pack lug In tight barrels Is a good plan, nnd for family use a swinging shelf, with sides and ends covered with wire cloth Inside of which the pieces arc hung. 1« convenient and Is also secure against rats nnd mice as well ns Insects. Thf room where meat Is cured should lx dry and cool and the darker the bet ter." Improving tho Soil. No farmer ought to he content tc have his farm only In as good coudi tion this year as It was last year Every year ought to show some lm provemeut. If you will lay out a plan running through five years for the ra tatlon of crops, for the disposition ol the manure on the farm, for the dlstrl button of commercial fertilizers, you will find a steady Improvement In th« yield of the soli, and lu the course of « few years you will find that the capital that your farm represents has greatly Increased In value —Farm and Home. Hog Notas. A damp nest often gives rhemnn | llsm. It's poor economy to feed llee upon hogs. Skltumllk finds Its best market In ! tbe pigpen. Next year's grain feed should b» planned for now. The dairy hog has helped raise mnn> a mortgage. Crowded sleeping quarters often ! cause disastrous results. The hard coal ashes can be dumped Into the hogpen to good advantage. Feeding For Eggs. Millet seed Is an excellent egg pro duelng grain. Beans, being highly ni trogenous. are equally beneficial. Sor ghum and broom corn seeds will do to add variety to the bill of fare. Barley Is about of tbe same merit, Tepconi contains more nitrogen and phosphates than does the regular Indian coru. Buckwheat is an egg producing food, but must lie fed sparingly, as It la over fattening. Dairy Notea. Ho not keep the (ream In damp, moldy cellars or lu hot sheds. Let it have a cool, cveu temperature In tome ; light place. In balancing your ration remember to lousidcr tbe market value of tbe feeds at hand. The cream should not be held *Mg , after It ie ready to churn. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MAR. IS 10.X* 1 CHURCH DIRECTORY. Mt. Vernon Baptist church,Rev. J. D. Rabun, pastor.
