Feeding the Pigs.
Tests at the Indiana Etperimental
Station indicate that pigs make bet
ter gains when the grain is fed dry
than they do when it is mixed with
water, This would suggest that
those who take the trouble to mix
grain with water before feeding
waste their time, and, to a slight de
gree, the food value of the grain.—

! Thorough Churning,
In order to have as thorough
churning as possible, the tempera
ture of the cream should not be over
fifty-cight degrees. While the but
ter is in the granular form, the
churning lis to be stopped. Then
draw the buttermilk from the churn
and wash, then butter and galt while
yet in the grupuln; form. For the
taste of most people, one ounce salt
to the pound of butter is about right,

I Diversified Farming,
In diversified farming it is essen
tial that we give due attention to *he
claims of each branch that is bheing
followed and seck to harmonize them
all, We must eelect only those
branches which will fit nicely into our
scheme of farm management and
eliminate every waste, ‘
If a man fully intends to gain
something by adopting the practice
of a soil robber and buying large
farms, creaming them and selling to
another farmer, he may succeed in
making money. It is little wonder
that American farmers are often
called soil skinners, .
They make more money as a rule
than the farmer who puts his money
into improvements, for they have
more cash to speculate with. But
which men 2re the most useful to
theit community: The one who puts
fiis whole time and energy into glean
ing every. possible dollar from the
soil and putting it in the savings
bank, or the man who improves his
property, adds ‘o ihe assessment list
of his township and helps to increase
the valuation of adjoining farms?—
Egpitomist, o
¥ Saving Farm Seeds,
! The farmer and the gardener can
often save money by saving his own
seed instead of being obliged to go t
the seedsman for his supply each
spring, and he can also have better
seeds, and increase his crop each year
if he takes sufficient care in selecting
his seed stock to grow it from. There
is a value in breeding seed for better
crops as well as in breeding for better
stock, and while those who are mar
ket gardeners generally know this
and save their seeds accordingly,
many farmers pay little attention to
the matter.
It is said that in one of our leading
corn growing States the crop per
acre and tha total value of*fhe crop
in the State has been increased, the
latter to the value of millions of dol
lars per year, by the efforts of one
man, who offered premiums for the
best. ears of seed corn sent in to the
State and county fairs. Such interest
was taken in the mat'er that many
strove for the prizes, and it is said
that single cars from those that re
ceived the highest prizes were sold
at what seems extravagant prices,
even as high as $25 per ear having
been reported in one case, and from
$1 to $56 per ear in many cases,—
American Cultivator,
Advisability of Planting Trees,
From time to timg this department
has contained advice regarding the
importance of farmers planting a for
est upon their now waste lanis.
Especially in the New England
Btates, upon the deserted farms, we
see many so-called pastures that are
practically a useless waste, that
could be planted, as we might say,
into a chestnut orchard,
Not such a great while ago we gave
a very full account as to how this
fruit might be grown profitably, and
anyone familiar with city streets in
tha fall of the vyear could readily
iudge for themselves their standing
from a commercial point of view.
Right here is a way of having, after
A few years, an almosi’ sure crop
every fall that is almost sure to hold
its price, and then after the trees
seem to outrun themselvess ean be
sold at fully fifty times their original
value,
This country alone is said to be
using 422,400,000 railvoad ties on
fts railroads, and these ties have to
be replaced about every iive vears,
This alone ought to suggest to every
farmer the fact tnat in time to come
there is almost sure to be a shortage
of timber suitable for this purpose,
as the railroads are continually on
the increase and the timber lands de
creased by the woodman'’s axe or the
ravages of forest fires.
Of course the s gument could be
used that in the course of time some
thing will turn up that will take the
place of wooden ties. This may be a
possibility, but we should remember
that nothing is a certainty. Business
_men take risks in all sorts of things;
~but the planting of these timber trees
~ We could hardly call a risk, for it the
~trees when matured could mnot be
- turned into money as railroad tes,
they could surely be by using them
for any of the numerous things that
call for good sound timber,~Weekly

Flies and Sheep, '
I'ly time is on, and sheep, especial
ly rams, should be watched closely
for maggots. All rams should have
liberal quantities of pine tar around
the horng, which will prevent the fly
from depositing her eggs. When
present turpentine or dip will dislodge
them and pine tar will keep them
away, writes an Ohio breeder in the
National Stockman and Farmer. The
lecng and middle wool sheep are
more annoyed by the common house
fly than the Merinos and should have
a dark woods or an underground
cellar or cave in which to spend the
day. A single fly will prevent one
of these sheep from thriving a whole
day.
’ The owner of a grade flock of
Shkropshires once took the writer to
‘the mouth of a cave in which his
sheep spent the daylights of summer,
secure from flies and in a climate
very nearly like the native conditions
of the Shropshires of England. He
lamented the loss of the manure, but
the loss was more than made up in
the condition of the sheep.
Look out for the gadfly. Her eggs
are deposited in the nostrils of the
sheep and almost as soon as depos
ited move up into the sinuses of the
head, and the sheep has grub in the
head. Tar on the nose or even dust
will warn the mother fly that such a
place is not a promising home for her
future family.
In the absence of bhare ground a
furrow plowed in the pasture will
supply the dust. Sheep salted in a
V-shaped trough with tar on sides
of trough is practiced as a preventive
by some flockmasters, Sometimes I
think that between gadfiies, stomach
worms, lung worms———ind!cat.ed by
the sheep standing with their heads
close together with their noses on the
ground and by running ticks—foot

Silage as a Horse Feed, :
I know silage is a’ good feed tor!
horses, for I have tried it, I have |
not, however, fed to any great ex- |
tent, because I did not have as much |
silage as I wanted for cows andg
horses both, and as I thought morm’
of my cows than I did of my horses, |
the cows had all tney needed and the |
horses had to go short. One winter .
we had a brood mare that was fed |
silage all winler. probably twenty
pounds a day. She had some hay |
and straw to go with it, and no grain
except what was in the silage, and |
she came out fat and with a glossyl
coat in the spring and had a fine, |
healthy colt. Horses like silage as |
well as cattle do after they get accus- 1
tomed to it. A man in Michigan a !
few years ago wintered two hundred |
horses on silage and straw exclusive-‘
Iy, with no grain. They came through |
in fine shape and the bdbrood maresf
all had fine, strong colts. The Ohio |
station tried\ feeding horses on silage |
through the winter and reported that
they came through until spring in the
best condition. Mr. W. C. Bradley,
of Hudson, Wis,, says that one year
‘during spring work he was out of
‘hay and the only coarse fodder his
‘horsea had during all that period of
hard work was silage. He says that
his horses never stood work better.—

’- A HOMESICK INDIAN TRIBE,
’ Unruly Utes, Chastened by Govera
‘ ment, Long For Utah Home. o
~ Out on the Cheyenns River Indian
reservation in South Dakota, dweil
ing in an impromptn camp, is a con
trite band of strayed Utes who have
wearied of travel and adventure and
want to go back to their Utah home
and be good once more. It is the
same parly of renegades which,
about a year ago, stampeded and,
scampered across two Stateg, terror
izing lone settlers along their route
of travel and causing a good regiment
of United States cavalry many sleep
less nights and much chilly discom~
fort before they finally bivouacked in
the country of their hereditary en
emy, the Sioux, and washed the paint
from their cheekbones. The Govern
ment troopers succeeded in averting
a period of murder and rapine only by
a display of tact and many repeating
carbines, 4 f
For many months the Utes have
been living among hostile aliens.
Men, women and children have en
dured the taunts and insults of their
‘ neighbors, the Sioux, partially be
} cause they are afraid of the Govern
ment, and partially because they re
pent their late escapade. There are
many reasons why a Ute should never
accept harsh words from a Sioux
‘ tribesman. Any Ute knows that
there was once a time when the most
truculent, the most hated and the
most respected of all the wild horse
men of the plains were the Utes.
Their pride in race still endures, de
spite the reverses and discourage
ments brought by encroaching civ
flization. The Sioux are women and
drawers of water, say the Utes when
goaded to rage by the coarse jests of
the hated people, and any Ute war
rior can account for three Sioux afoot
or horseback with arrow or knife.
Tradition shows many points of
superiority of the Ute over the Sioux.
To begin with a Ute can consume
more whisky by a pint than any con
vivial Sioux. He has a prior ancestry,
which runs back to neolithic days.
He was once and is still the mightier
hunter of the two. Last and most
important, he is a Ute; and a Sioux
is only a Sioux.
SO, when for a year the Utes have
refrained from shedding the blood of
their cherished enemies, in spite of
great provocation, it signifies that the
men from Utah are very much chas
tened indeed. More than this, the
refugees have pocketed their scruples
and have actually been doing work
for white men. With the sleeves of
their cotton shirts tucked above their
elbows these forlorn savages have
helped tamp railroad sections; they
have carried ties, lugged rails and
wielded mauls; for which labor they
have been paid a stipend. Also vthe}\'-
have won the renewed -affection of a
paternal Government. Bt iy o
The mystery of the Utes’ protract
‘ed manifestation of virtue is ex
plained ‘without difficulty. They _are
homesick. No labor to them seems
too mean or dishonorable if themm
win the right of returning to the fa
miliar reservation which is theirs
both by inheritance and Government
concession. Half savage peoples are
susceptible to the nostalgia as well
as the entirely ecivilized, and the Utes
-——every squaw, buck and pappoose—
suffer the common ailment.
The Government thinks that the
rebels have beem almost sufficiently
punished for their recent outbreak,
and soon the entire band will be per
mitted to trek for the home country. ‘
In the meantime the Utes will be very
good and respectable. The longing‘
for home transcends in men all other
passions and desires.—Des Moines 1

American Hotel in Japan.
In the Hochi Shimbun we find a
paragraph suggesting that the ques
tion of hotel accommod:tion, in view
of the great exhibition, is again at
tracting attention. There is talk of
a Japanese syndicate obtaining a
grant of 10,000 tsubo of land in the
.vicinity. of the Maple Club from the
Tokio municipality and there is also
talk of a foreign syndicate erecting
a hotel at Mukojima in conjunction
with an American hotel company at
a cost of 6,000,000 yen.
But as yet these and other proiects
do not seem likely to be carried out.
The fact is that a hotel is not like
a tent, which can be set up and taken
down at will. The exhibition of 1912
is an exceptional event. It will cer
tainly attract an unusual number of
visitors, but when these have taken
their departure things will return to
their normal condition ang there will
be little more need of hotel accom
modations than there is today. That
conslderation probably deters capital
ists from permanently sinking a
large sum to meet an ephemeral de
mand.—Japan Weekly Mail,

PUZZLE SOLVED
Coffee at Bottom of Trouble.
. It takes some people a long time to
find out that coffes is hurting them.
But when once the fact is clear,
most people try to keep away from
the thing which is followed by ever
increasing detriment to the heart,
stomach and nerves.
*‘Until two years ago I was a heavy
coffee drinker,” writes an 1111. stock
man, ‘‘and had been all my life. I
am now 56 years old.
“About three years ago 1 began to
have nervous spells and could not
sleep nights, was bhothered by indi
gestion, bloating and gas on stomach
affected my heart,
“I spent lots of money doctoring—
one doctor told me I had chronic ca
tarrh of the stomach; another that I
had heart disease and was llable to
die at any time. They all dieted me
until I was nearly starved, but I
seemed to get worse instead of better.
“Having heard of the good Postum
had done for nervous people I dis
carded coffee altogether and began to
use Postum regularly. I soon got
better and now, after nearly two
years, I can truthfully say I am
sound and well,
“I sleep well at night, do not have
the nervous spells and am not both
ered with indigestion or palpitation.
I welgh 32 pounds more than when I
began Postum, and am better every
way than I ever was while drinking
coffes. I can’t say teo much in praise
of Postum, as I am sure it saved my
life." “There’s a Reason.”
