WASTE NOT, WANT NOT—
One of the obvious inetliods of ro
• cooping our losses nml getting oh our
feet ngnin is to eut. out wnatc wherever
possible. In n general wny It is every-
wliern ndmitteil that wnste Is one of
our besotting sins, but too often wo stop
with the general admission ami do not
bunt out nml try to remedy the' particu
lar wastes of which we lire guilty. X
want to specify some of the wnstes nml
suggest how they may bo cut out or
-diminished.
A larger acreage of corn 1ms been
planted this yenr. and with fnvorablo
.seasons there should lie mnny fnrmers
with a surplus of earn next, fall, nnilim
less wo do bettor than we have* In
the past, much of it will bo wasted.
This wnsto occurs in vnrlouB ways. One
source of wnste is the Joss through rats
and weevils. Mucli of" this is prevents
bin, and wo should during this summer
make soch war on rats ns will keep
them otit of our cribs; nml wo should
prepare our cribs so that in ease of
•weevil infostutlon we ciui effectively use
•carbon Ill-sulphide to destroy them.
Another source of waste is Injudicious
fuelling. With something to bnluneo the
carbo-hydrates in corn wo enu make our
corn go a grout deni further, Corn feed,
1 with a small ndilltlon of cotton* seed
jneni, for example, is much moro effi
cient than corn nionc for your work
•stock, mid will therefore make a cheaper
ration. So nlso corn fed to liogH should
ibe balanced with sortie protein feed like
milk, or shorts or tankage, In order to
•make a cheaper and more efficient rn-
•tlon, By carefully looking forwnrd we
•can save « good ileal of corn.
But Wlmt arc wo going to do with if
when we wive it from rats, weevils nnd
’inefficient feeding? For with no stand
ard market, no buyers wlio will always
‘take corn, the average farmer, who lias,
■a surplus of corn usually fritters it
in way and gets no money roturn for it.
It scorns to mo that wo can market
•tills surplus corn' better thibugli hogs
thlin in any other wny. Wo have the
■machinery for marketing hogs already
provided. Hogs can now be bought nt
very roiiHomiblu prices, nnd the prospect
is 'that tile pfires will 'improve. The.
money investor! in hogs is turned over,
tpilukur than in any other llvostock mid'
■than most form crops. In addition to
furnishing a market for the surplus corn,
and no preventing o wnsto in this re
spect, lipgs will nlso save many other
wnrtles. For instmico, many of us are
-giiing'to plant a good many potatoes tpv
market, if we lire going to build lip a ■
:good market fur those they must lie
•carefully ■ graded, and a considerable
-portion of tho crop—perhaps .'15 port
vent,, will lio culled out. These emi be
-proflitnbly fed to hogs, mid will through
them add considerably to the profit of
the crop. This ollnilmiHon of wnsto
might vary well make the difference be-
tween profit and loss on tho eorn nail
potato crops.
M,v suggestion is that we now look
nlioail and nuiko nrraugoimuits for hogs
vmwtgh to lake enro of T!icho wnstos, so
(•tables. We cooked cabbage mid onions,
and served them with white sauce.
There wore five club members present

because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, 1 would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.
We have used in our family for years
THEDFORD’S
and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. 1 recommend it to<my friends, and am
glad to do so." Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have-doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford’s Black-Draught. At all Druggists.
