HOG ECONOMY.
The hog is used in his economical
role when he follows a bunch of
steers in the feeding lot. The hog is
the savings bank on the farm; he
gleans in the grain fields for the
wastage in harvesting, also in the
orchards for the fallen fruit, and no
other animal can fill his place in ser
vices of this character. Farmers’
Home Journal.
THE LEAD IN DRAFT HORSES.
The State of Illinois some years
ago took the lead in importing and
breeding draft horses and still holds
it. It may be said in truth that it
was the pioneer State in promoting
the draft horse industry, Napoleon
and Brilliant both being early
and impressive sires of commercial
chunks. The breeders of draft
horses of thq State have never lost
their enthusiasm or confidence in the
industrial draft horse and the live
stock wealth of the State is centred
in the heavy horse industry. Only
last December an Illinois breeder
paid SIO,OO0 —a record price—for
the imported champion Percheron
stallion Carnot.—lndiana Farmer.

of the pen which keeps the sow from
lying up against a partition and kill
ing young pigs, which a large sow will
often do. The fenders should project
at least eight inches into the pen and
allow eight inches clear between the
fender and the floor.
HOGS AND CORN.
I weighed to Ben Fisher yester
day, twenty-two hogs eight months
and twenty-one days old, pigs from
two Berkshire sows, by Poland China
male that weighed 5740 pounds or
261 average counted at eight and a
half cents per pound, makes $487.90.
I weighed the hogs the 15th of Jan
uary and counted the corn they ate
since and they paid me $1 a bushel
for the corn.—John Henderson.
That is the way for one to look
into matters of farm economy. HogS
are high enough to feed high priced
corn, and besides the $1 a bushel fot
corn fed, there is the manure value
to the farm, which is as real as any
other dollars. —Indiana Farmer.
CULL THE UNPROFITABLE COW.
Since 1908 the Department of
Agriculture has had a number of its
agents at work throughout the South
rendering assistance to such dairymen
with whom they come in contact as>
may need help. One of the most im
portant lines of work is that of show
ing how profit may be obtained by
culling out the unprofitable cows.
During the first year of the work 116
herds, containing 3921 cows, were
tested. Of these herds, forty-three,
containing 1428 cows, were discarded
before the work had been in progress
very long because of the indifference
of the owners, and with eighty-four
herds the work has been successfully
conducted. As soon as good results
were obtained the owner usually pur
chased a pure bred bull for his herd
unless he already has one. Within
two months after the testing is be
gun with a herd the owner usually
begins to cull out the poorest cows.
Numerous letters attesting the
practical value and results of this
work of herd testing have been re
ceived by the Department. A Georgia
farmer writes:
“It took nearly a year to convince
us that some of our favorite cows
were losing us money, hut as soon as
this was found out they were dis
posed of. The first winter we milked
twenty cows most of the time and
shipped an average of 100 pounds of
butter per week. The second winter
we milked twelve to fourteen cows
and shipped an average of ninety
nine pounds per week. The differ
ence was due to the silo, scales and
Babcock test. I thought all our cows
were about the same until the lecort
was kept and tests made.’’
A dairyman in Louisiana says: “As
a result of the facts obtained in car
rying out this idea I reduced ray herd
thirty per cent, and yet increased the
production fifteen per cent.’
Here is a lesson which should be
learned by every dairyman in the
country. The results are clerr.

Parson White’s precautionary
measure of protecting his chicken
coop with chilled steel bars was
futile, for that very night four more
of his choice leghorns disappeared,
leaving the severed and twisted bars
as the only visible evidence of the
theft. However, his suspicions
pointed toward his next door neigh
bor, whom he had seen prowling
around his yard that day, and, accord
ingly, he had this suspect up in po
lice court the next morning.
“If the prisoner can file an alibi
I’ll let Inm off with a suspended sen
tence,” announced the Judge at the
end of the evidence. “Can you file
an alibi, Ham?”
“Ah guess Ah kin,” eagerly en

Suit Seventy Years Old.
Justice Newburger has appointed
i referee to determine the claims of
reveral litigants in an action that
was begun in the Court of Chancery
!n IS4O, wherein the original claim of
litigants amounted to $10.55. The
five claimants today prosecuting tho
action are the great-grandchildren
and their collateral relatives.
The action was brought by Charles
Marvin against Theodore L. Mason
and others. It was over some lots
In Brooklyn, and after some years
the money was paid into court. On
January 24, 1908, the claim, with in
terest on the original $52.75, amount
ed to $250. The whole amount was
then turned over to the State Con
troller, and the great-grandchildren
are now trying to collect it from that
official.
Justice Newburger said that on ac
count of the small amount of money
Involved he would send the case to
a permanent referee, so that there
would be no further expense.—New

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription f§
Is the best of all medicines for the cure of diseases, V , I
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu-
Qtcd physician—an experienced and skilled specialist in
the diseases of women. .•.irfntTV
It is a sufe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol
and no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so good that its tnaaers
arc not afraid to print its every ingredient on I I If
each outside bottle - wrapper and attest to tho
truthfulness of the same under oath.
It is sold by medicine dealers everywhere, and any denier who hasn’t it can
get it. Don’t take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine OP
know- composition. No counterfeit is ns good cs the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is “just as good as Dr. Pierce’s” is either mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such a man is not to be
trusted. He is trifling with your most priceless possession—your nealth —
may be your life itself. Set that you get what you ask for.
Ravages of Wolves.
According to C. Hart Merriam,
chief of the biological survey, the
increasing ravages of wolves is to
he added to the many other leak
ages of American wealth. In the
northwest last year, he says, the
depredations amounted to $13,000,000
in value of property destroyed. This
is a large sum to set down as abso
lute loss occasioned by one species
of wild animal alone In a country of
rapidly increasing population, when
the land has so been taken up that
it has been supposed that wild ani
mals of all sorts had been changed
from menaces to life and property
into objects of sport for the hunter.
It is astonishing that wolves should
have so rapidly increased bf late in
the northwest, a region which has
rapidly been developed, and that such
an energetic race as the settlers
there should have allowed this in
crease. —New York Press.

This Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con
fiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose ex
perience with women’s diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.
MRS. PINKHAM’S STANDING INVITATION:
Women sufferingfrom any form of female weakness are in
vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letters afe received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these confi
dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun
dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed in your case.
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care of Lydia
E. Pinkham Medicine Cos., Lynn, Mass.
