" Overfeeding Dangerous,
To prevent heat prostraticns: don’t

Certain it {s, that there are many

Is the Well All Right? °
The weak point as regards health
on many farms is the water supply.
The neighborhood is not likely to be
crowded, but various matters which
defile the water are liable to be nag
lected. There is no better time to
clean out the wells than the last of
August before the heavy fall rains
begin. The bottom of the well should
be thoroughly scraped, and the walls
washed down. 'The top and covering

/'~ Rusty Cans and Milk.
~ In bulletin 162 of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station, the
harm to milk handled in rusty cans
is brought out, and the following con
clusions reached on the subject:
1. A better grade of utensils should
be used in the handling of milk and
its products. The iron or steel plate
should be heavier and more thickly
coated with tin,
~ 8. No milk should be accepted at a
factory which has been kept in iron
exposed pails or cans,
% The factory or creamery should
be an example of neatness and clean
liness, with all utensils in first class
condition. s
4. Co-operation among the propri
oetois of creameries, cheese factories
and city milk supplies will tend to
bring about cleanliness among pa
trons, and the use of better utensils,
6. Milk should be bought on its
merits, by some satisfactory arrange
ment following well founded sanitary
and hygenic rules, by which the pro
duction of milk of superior quality is
encouraged, and milk of low grade
either rejected or gradually improved.

Profitable Swine Feeding.
Dr. Warrington, in Chemistry on
the Farms, states that for each 100
pounds of feed consumed the gains
are: For cattle, nine pounds; sheep,
eleven pounds, and pigs, twenty-three
pounds, or pigs make nearly two and
one-half times as much gain from a
given amount of feed as do cattle.
Analyses show that for every 100
pounds of the digestive nutrients con
sumed cattle gained 12.7; sheep,
14.3, and pigs, 29.2 pounds, thus
showing the great value of hogs on
the farm for profit to the farmer,
and why it has become an adage,
that the hog is the rent payer, the
mortgage lifter and farmer’s cashier.
The hog can sell the farmer's corn
through his stomach at a better price
than any other animal on the farm.
This makes pigs desirable farm an
fmals, not only because of the fact
that they can convert more pounds
of meat ont of a given quantity of
feed, but because at the present time
they ean be marketed as quickly as
a field grain, At the same time it is
moie profitable than selling grain,
not ouly because there are better
prices received for it by feeding it
to the hog, but because the farmer
lcoks farther ahead and retains the
fertility of the eoil in feeding back
that produced from it.
The profit of pig feeding (hpends
upon the cogt of the feed given them,
Therefore, anything that cheapens
the feed increases the profit and es
pecially if it is not done at the ez
pense of the health of the hog.
Farm lowls,
Fowls on the farm should in the
very nature of things be the most
profitable of all fowls. 'fhey cost lit
tle to feed and the space they range
over costs no more on account of the
presence of the fowls, Most of them
have free range and forage. for their
food; this is profitable for the owner
and enjoyable to the fowls.
Mogt farm flocks are too small,
They might easily be increased in
size with little effort and small ex
penditures. 1t has been said that a
fowl will pay a dollar a year clear
profit under such conditions as pre
vail on the average farm if they are
rightly housed and cared for. This is
surely large enough a profit to be in
teresting to any farmer, U;';‘;nlly the
;gmwm do not get credft for all
they really do, for the farmer seldom
figures in the eggs and other poultry
products used by his own family,
which make quite an item in the
course of a year, .
Not only the quantity should be
increased, but also the quality. There
are vastly greater possibilities for
profit in pure bred fowls than in
scrubs. They look better, weigh and
lay better and really are better in
every way.—HEpitomnist.
Quick Fattening, ;
The theory on 4vhich crate fatien
ing is encouraged is that a hen will
digest more food than she will eat.
Shredded wheat will put the fat on
at as low a cost as four and one-half
cents per pound. The sections of'
our crates are two feet wide, two feet
high, twenty-seven inches long, three
sections to a crate, five birds to a
section. These have to be very care
fully fed so that the appetite will not
be hurt,
Careful attention has to be given
not only to what they are fed, but
when and how often the feed is of
fered to them. KEqual quantities of
corn meal, ground oats and shredded
wheat, mixed with skim milk, consis
tency of good porridge in front of
them for a few minutes, every twelve
hours for two days. Next evening
let them eat their fill. Next day feed
' in the morning not enough to satisty
them, At night, all they will eaf.
Do this for a week, all they want. At
the end of the second week give a
noon feed of just a little. The third
week give all they want at noon.
Next week add a little tallow to fif
teen birds. Give a little grit from
time to time.
If growing broilers give them a
large percentage of bran six weeks,
then make the bulk of the feed corn
meal for four weeks, Milk and buck
wheat, or milk and oats tend to
whiten skin, If anything is not con
tented, it won't put on fiesh.

omitted if a plainer waist is wanted.
All the linen and cotton waistings,
the washable flannels and the silks
are appropriate, so that the waist can
be made available for all seasons and.
in a great many different ways. As
illustrated, however, it is made from |
the linen that is fashionable at all
seasons of the. year, and the box
pleats at the front and the cuffs are
hand embroidered and finished with
frills of linen lawn.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. There are tucks laid over the
shoulders, which give both breadth
and tapering lines, and there are alsol
tucks in the front, which provide|
becoming fulness. The closing is
made invisibly beneath the wide box
pleat. The sleeves are of the simple
shirt waist sort, and can be finished
with the straight cuffs, or with roll
over ones, as liked.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year size is three and
one-half yards twenty-one or twenty
four, three yards thirty-two, or two
yards forty-four inches wide.

the street and the house and in either
style it is exceedingly charming and
graceful. As illustrated, serge is
trimmed with stitched bands of
broadcloth held by buttons, but for
immediate wear the model will be
found admirable made of foulard,
linen and materials of the sort, as
well as of wool fabriecs. In fact, it

is novel and effective, and the bands
can be of the same or contrasting ma

- The skirt is made in nine gores.
‘The front and side gores are laid in

ENEMIES OF ARIZONA CHICKENS.
Bullsnakes and Big Frogs Get Into
the Pouliry Houses.
About four days ago T. L. Clifford,
who owns a fine lot of poultry, was
out in the yard engaged in doing the
chores when he heard an unusual
commotion in his hen house. On
opening the door and lighting up the
building he was astonished to see a
large bullsnake lying in the middle of
the floor with its body coiled around
two chickens, which were yet alive.
Mr. Clifford struck at the reptile,
landing a blow on its head, when it
immediately tightened its coils and
crushed the chickens. The snake
measured between three and one-half
and four feet in length.
On Saturday eveniug the owner was
again disturbed by a noise among his
fowls, and this time the cause for
alarm in the hen house was made by
a larges frog who had just finished
making an evening meal of one of the
broilers. Mr. Clifford killed the frog.

Old Lady Got Well With Change of
Feod,
A great scientist has sald we can
put off ‘“‘old age” if we can only nour
ish the body properly. !
To do this the right kind of food,
of course, is necessary. The body
manufactures poisons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds of
food stuffs and unless sufficient of the
right kind is used, the injurious ele
ments overcome the good.
“My grandmother, 71 years old,”
writes a N, Y. lady, “had been an in
valid for 18 years from what was
called consumption of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
“I saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for morg than a few min
utes. :
‘‘She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. As that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she
took a little more until she could take
all of four teaspoonfuls at a meal.
“Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely, She got to enjoy
good health for one so old, and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life,
“The doctor was astonished that
instead of dying she got well, and
without a drop of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts.” “There’s &
Reason.”
