If All This Advice Comes Too Late, Cut It Out and Save the Article for Next Year. The best meat is obtained from hogs that are kept growing and putting on flesh close up to killingtime. The animal should not be fed for about 24 hours before slaughter. e ‘When a pig is to be killed, see that the knives are sharp and in good form, and that everything is in readiness for scraping and hanging the carcass. A cheap and suitable scalding vat can e found in a paraffin cask, which may be sét in a slanting position at the énd of the scraping table, which should be about six feet long, two feet ‘six inches wide and two feet high. The water should bc at a temperature of between 180 and 185 degrees when-the hog is placed therein. If too hot or too cold, S . i \ .

CUTTING UP A PORK CARCASS. the hair will not come off properly. The old-fashioned plan of testing the temperature was to pour -a few drops of the pig's blood into the water; if 1t spread evenly over the surface, the temperature was considered right. Tue water should not -be removed from the fire until it is quite boiling, and then if put into a cold barrel the terhperzture will be about right when the pig is ready to be put into it. A smali shovelful of wood ashes or a large handful of soft soap put into the water will facilitate the loosening of the scurf. ; After sticking or shooting the pig. wait until life is quite extinct befcre putting into the water. If this is not done, the blood in the capillaries of the skin will be congealed and the skin be reddened. Try the hair often to know when sufficiently scalded. Remove the hair from the feet and head with the hdnds, or with a scraper—the lid of an old coffee pot is an excellent implement—and then from the body. If properly scalded it will come off easily. When the hair is removed scrape the body clean, and trim it up with a sharp knife: Hang the carcass up, wash with hot water, then scrape, rinse with cold water, and be careful to remove all seurf. Open the body, put the intes‘tines down and separate the cOnnections near the kidneys, leaving the kidney fat intact. Remove the paunch® with the intestines, keeping all clean, so as ‘to preserve the fat.” Cut around the diaphragm and remove the lungs and heart together with the windpipe. Re‘move the tongue. * A convenient way of cutting the carcass is shown ‘in the illustration. Thiee cross sections are made, one removes the head, the next the shoulders between the fourth and fifth ribs,the next takes off the hams. The carcass can then be easily sawed through with the meat saw. This plan requires very little trimming for the hams. Shoulders can be trimmed easily by removing the ribs or neck piece, and cutting away the scraps for sausage and lard. The middle piece is then split through the center, and the lower two-thirds of the side removed, sawing through the ribs. The ribs are then taken out of the side piece, leaving the lean meat on tie side. A part of ‘the flank may be removed for lard, and the remainder will be available to be cured for bacon. The lean meat on the upper third of the back, includidg the ribs, is called the pork loin, and is excellent for chops or roasting pieces. Fat trimmings may be used for lard and the lean trimmings for sausage. The head-and feet are scraped and eleaned and used for head cheese or pickled. Meat shouid ‘never be saited until thoroughly coled, after which the quicker it gdes into the salt barrel the Dbetter.—Massachu-~ setts Ploughman. 5 SHEEPFOLD AND PIGGERY.

Petting sheep is’ almost as good as feeding them. . ? . A hog naturally is a clean animal; man-has made him dirty. - For satisfactory results in any flock, the ram must be thoroughly well bred and typical of the breed he represents: Salt should be in constant supply. Sheep like good] clean and warm quarters in Wwinter and plenty of good fodder. . There is a great difference hetween oily and gummy wool. ‘A sheep with oily wool will keep fat while one with gummy wool will grow th@n or even perish. : 2 Pure water and plenty of it is relished by hogs. But don’t make them' drink great quantities of thin slop in cold weather for the sake of the grain. Better feed both separately. Buckwheat middlings are a good feed for hogs, but they make rather more economical gains on corn and wheat fedis. Buckwheat hulls are not fit for any kind og stock. They make good litter for the poultry house and the fowls pick ‘out any good stuff in them.—Farm and Home.- | When to Feed the Fowls. Feitd “at regular hours, giving tne lightest meal in the morning, as it is better to have the fowls a little, hungry rather . than overfed, so as to induce them to work for scattered grains. It is not advisable to feed at noon., The hedviest feed for poultry should be at night, as rest and quiet favor digestion, while a full stomach is the best protection against cold during winter nights. If any corn i 8 given, it shoutd be at night. In winter it will' be all the better if it is warmed and some of it charred. At night, when exercise is impossible, no unnecessary burden ‘should be placed on the system. In the morning it is better to feed poultry with grain scattered among straw, thus compelling them to scratch for it.

APPLYING THE MANURE. Very Little of the Valuable Elements - Escape by Evaporation, Says a Canadian Expert. : ! RS 4 i ~ According to James Mcp‘sadyean, an experiment conducted at the Ottawa experiment farm and coveringa peri;’od of years, indicated that an equal weight of fresh stable manure and of ,wel&_ rotted manure were-of practically the same value for application to all the principal crops. Practically the same results have thus far been obtained at that station. Mr. McFadyean says: = It. is a great mistake to believe that manure wastes to any extent when spread upon the land. Unless there is considerable fermentation, there will very little of the valuable elements escape by evaporation. I do not recom‘mend too-heavy an application at one time. We seek to have it divided so that it will' cover all the land every second year, if possible. If the manure is reasonably short, so that we may have it incorporated-into the surface soil with the disc or spade harrow, cultivator or gang plow in the spring, and'so about the same depth as we wish to sow our grain, its indirect value to the growing crop is greatest. Farmyard manure is the most natural and perfect plant food avalable, and it has indirect results that no commercial fertilizer can give, Dbecause it adds to the soeil so much vegetable matter, so much humus, by which all clay and sandy soils especially are greatly benefited, though not just yet available as plant food. But whenever there is a decdying of vegetable matter there is always a degree of heat formed. We see this«very plainly in the manure heap. Then let us have this heat formed -in the soil, that the growing plants may derive some benefit from it, and the soil will be made more mellow, crumbly and porous, because of the heat and moisture. | HANDY HARNESS HOOKS. Made of Old Buggy Shafts and Quite Strong Enough to Sustain a Considerable Weight. Old buggy shafts can be made into harness hooks. Buy new shafts instead of repairing the old ones with baling wire For harness hooks the crosspiece ot wood under the single tree that connects the two shafts is sawed out entirely, : /i ; 0 | STRONG HARNESS HOOK. close up to each side of the iron brace. Then the bolts are taken from the crosspiece and the loose end of the iron is bent straight down. When putting the shaft on the barn wall turn it upside down and use spikes through the two holes in the iron where the bolts were taken out, as shown in the cut. These hooks are neat, and stout enough to hold a heavy set of work harnesses. We have used them for several years and the strongest point in the economy line is the safety in having new shafts when driving high spirited horses these frosty mornings.—Farm and Home. :

Legumes on Stock Farms. 4 In some Delaware tests it was shown that alfalfa, cowpeas and crimson clover were. great factors in reducing the concentrated feed bills of dairymen and other stockmeLn. It was shown .that the maximum crops of alfalfa yielded 1,230 pounds of protein per acre or an equivalent of 114 tons of cottonseed meal. The maximum crops of cowpeas and crimspn clover contained each about 725 p%s of protein. A crop',of clover and one of peas may be made into hay annually from the same acre of land, hence where alfalfa fails to thrive these cr@ps may be used as a substitute.— Orange Judd Farmer. - Ly Care of Colt’s Teeth. : Many of the more comfon digestive troubles of the horse are directly traceable to some imperfection of the teeth. Neglect of these often leads to imperfect mastication, impoverished condition, irritability, digestive disturbances and eye derangements. When dentition goes on regularly, the colt gets 16 new teeth, eight in each jaw, between its second and third years. Therefore, the mouth should be often and carefully examined at this period, and all irregularities ad‘justed. If the colt’s system seems to be in a languid condition, this will retard dentition and should be remedied by extra feeding, especially of oats.—Prairie Farmer. . £ : Crude Oil Destroys Ticks. We are advised that the agricultural department, at Washington, has decided to allow cattle from below the quarantine line to be moved north at any time during the year, if they are first dipped in crude oil. The department has decided that crude oil will kill the ticks and thus.eliminate the cause of Texas fever, and at the same time not injure the cattle, The dipping vats must be established under the supervision of department officers, and dipping.process must take place under their direction. —Midland Farmer. : Cleaning Lamp Burners.

Then rup them with soap and brick dust, applying with a brush; wash and dry: The trouble is well repaid with the satisfaction given by the bright clean burners.—Agricultural Epitomist. i ' : Sea Foam Pudding. : ‘To 1% pints boiling water add four tablespoonfuls cornstarch dissolved in one-half pint of cold water.

R ‘'WHEN ZOZOKA COMES. . The Story of the Fish Hawk's Life and Ways Told for the Benetit o g Our Young Reui‘:?(.‘) ) Near the river mouth thtee children were at play on the sand, an Indian lad, a small American girl and her brother; Suddenly the Indian stood up, and shading his eyes with his hand, gazed long toward the southward. *“Zozoka comes,” he said; ‘‘plenty fish.” ; : “Where?”’ cried the white children, eagerly scanning the sea and sky. “His wife, too; it is good,” said the Indian. ‘‘The Great Spirit smiles on my people. He sends Zozoka to tell us that we shall have big catches of fish, all we can eat .and plenty to dry for the cold moons.” ; : - The children could see two birds coming from the southward. Fascinated, they watched till over their heads swept a pair of magnificent ospreys. ‘‘Fishhawks,” .they cried in the same breath. ‘“Zozoka,” said the Indian lad. “They go to their old home up the river.” A gleam of silver showed just beneath the river’s blue. Like a shot the fishhawk dropped and was half buried in the water before he rose, holding a fish in his strong talons. Mounting with a few graceful sweep’s of his'splendid wings, which spread over ﬁv@‘feét, he seated himself on his favorite branch, an((li'tearing the fish into pieces, devoured it with great relish. For a fortnight this devoted couple spent many a busy hour searching for material to Mr'their home. A few rods from th k was a dead tree, and Mr. Fish-hawk decided that ‘some of its branches would be exactly right for propping up the sagging east side.

PR T RSO WP ”““’\“"" N HAWK WITH FISH.‘ he performed a wonderful acrobatic feat, something no other bird ever dreaxi:ed of doing. He rose in the air to a great ‘height, and dropped straight as an arrow to the branch he had selected, breaking it with his weight and catching it before it reached the ground. . While Zozoka was busy breaking the tree branches, his mate searched the shore and river banks. Shebrought long streamers of seaweed, red and brown, green sea grass and a wisp or two of salt hay from the marshes. With these she wove ‘a new lining for her home, and soon it held two spotted €ggs, a little larger than a hen’s. . ‘When the babies appeared there was work indeed. Zozoka would swoop down, dive into a wave and come out on the opposite side, with a catfish in his claws. Before starting for his home up the river he always turned the fish edgeways to the wind, for he was a wise bird, and knew that if he carried it broadside out it would present a larger surface to the wind’s resistance.

Before a week had passed they were famous flyer§ To learn to fish successfully was very difficult indeed. First the young hawks fished almost wholly in the river, not venturing to try their luck in the ocean, but one day the bold son flew far out over the breakers, farther than he had ever been before.

Sudgenly there was a splash and he saw a great fish gamboling below. Pausing a moment to take a good aim he shot downwards, struck the fish and firmly imbeded his claws, He attempted to rise, but to his dismay was drawn down, down, deeper and deeper_ beneath the water. He struggled desperately to disentangle. his claws, but now his lungs were filling with water; his strength was ebbing. His struggles grew more and more feeble. His ambition had cost him his life.

The next morning, when the hawks flew seaward,they saw a great codfish lying on the beach, with a dead young osprey grimly-clutching its back.—Boston Globe. Y |

Terrier Con{mltted Suicide, Suicidal mania‘¥seems to have been inherited by Dickie, a pet fox terrier owned by Mrs. George Sears, of Jersey City. The dog tore a hole in a lace curtain recently. Mrs. Sears spanked the dog with a slipper. The terrier whined for nearly an hour and refused to eat its dinner. Suddenly it jumped thrdugh a pane of glass in the window of a t hirdstory room, and in falling was impaled on the iron pickets cf a fence. - It died shortly after being taken into the house. Mrs. Sears said: “I am sure Dickie made up his mind to commit suicide, after I had whipped him. His mother also killed herself after I had whipped ber u year ago.” ;

ALBINO DEER KILLED. Its Coat Was IPure White, Its Eya: Pink and Its Fur of Softest and Silky Texture. ] . An albino deer, with a coat as white as the drifting snows, eyes a delicate pink, and with' a tread as soft and discreet as an elk fawn, was Kkilled in the Canyon mountains of southern Oregon recently. It was one of the very few albiqo deer ever seen'in the mountains of the west. Old hunters tell of seeing them, usually separate from the main herds, and at various times during the early days; but they were too shy and discreet to be approached near enough for a shot. T -

Its white coat made it far more conspicuous thar the remainder of the herd, and it is perhaps for this reason only albino deer are shunned by their mates.-f\ 5 The albino deer hbears exactly the same relation to the leer family that the albino of the Africen race does to the human kind. Aside from its white coat and pink eyes, it is like all other deer; possibly its fur is softez and more silky. The specimen found i& the pine forests of the Canyon mountains will be made a part of the exhibit of albino animalsat the Smithsonian institution, ! - JOKE PLAYED ON HAWK. Bird Was Very Curious at Mirst, But Later On Became Frightened nn_d Dropped His Prey, - Hawks, writes the author of “Travels in a Treetop,” have an unusual amount of curiosity. They are trapped, he says, almost as often through ‘their curiosity as through their fear. Sometimes in winter, when there is- little to attract their attention, an unbaited trap, if of a new shape or variety, is quite as likely to land a victim as if it held a most appetizing mouse. :

Once a trick was played upon a splendid black "hawk that had been mousing over the fields for half the winter. It often perched upon a straw stack, instead of in the Ilone hickory tree chat stood sentinel-like jn the center of the field. Early one morning a plump meadow mouse, with an -inflated bladder attached to it by a string, was placed on the top of the stack. The bladder and cord were concealed by the straw. The hawk was apparently a little suspicious when he first_noticed the mouse. He was not used to seeing a mouse remain perfectly still in that way, especially when he began to circlé about with his great black wings close down to the stack. Presently he alighted in a wary way on one end of the stack: then he walked nearer, eyed the mouse sharply, and pecked at it.. At last he seized it in his talons and made off for the hickory. Halfway there, however, he noticed the bladder attached, and gave the mouse a violent jerk to free it from the strange appendage. This only served to make the bladder bob up and down more. furiously, and with a scream of terror the hawk dropped the mouse and all and fled to the woods. It was some time before he was again seen in the neighbor. hood of the straw stack. . How \_’arions People Sleep. In the tropics men sleep in kammocks or upon mats of grass. The East Indian unrolls his light portable charpoy, for mattress, which in the morning is again rolled together and carried away by him. The Japanese lie upon matting with a stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck rest. The Chinese use low bedsteads, often elaborately carved, and supporting only mats or coverlets.. A peculiarity of the German bed is its shortness; besides ._at it often consists in part of a large down pillow or upper mattress, which spreads over the person, and usually answers the purpose of all the ordinary bed-clothing combined. In England the old four-posted bedstead is still the pride of the nation, but the iron or brass bedstead is fast becoming universal. The English beds are the largest beds in the world. The ancient Greeks and Romans ha.d their. beds supported on frames, but not filat like ours. The Egyptians had a couch of a peculiar shape, more like an oldfashioned easy-chair with hollow back and geat. ' e : Trolley Ferry in Missouri, A ferry is plying across the Missouri river, a short distance north of St. Joseph, which is described as comething unique. It is not run by wind, steam or electricity, but solely by the force of the river’s current. Its proprietors call it a “trolley ferry.” A steel cable is passed across.the stream, over the boat. -This cable passes through two stationary pulleys on the deck. By means of these pulleys and the cable the boat is held so that the current of the river strikes it at an angle of about 45 degrees, and in this “sideways” fashion the-current forces it across the channel. It carries 100 tons of cargo over in four minutes, There are no fuel bills to meet, no engines to keep in repair, and no engineers to pay, and as the boat is liberally patronized by farmers, truck gardeners and poultry breeders living near Wathena,. an the Kansas side of the river, it is bringing in large dividends for its owners. 2 " Germany’s Favorite Fowl. | In Germany the goose is the most popular fowl. :

Mrs. E. West. 137 Main street, Menasha, Wis., writes: “We have used Peruna in our family for a nuniber of years and when I say that it is-a fire medicine for catarrh and colds, I know what I am talking about. I have taken it every epring and fall for four years and I find that it keeps me robust, strong, with splendid appetite, and.free from any illness.. A few years-ago it cured me of catarrh of the stomach, which the doctors had pronounced incurable. 1 am very much pleased with Peruna: I am 87 years old.”—=Mrs. E. West.

. The Only Sanitary and Permanent Wall Coating : LABASTINE Is not a disease-breeding, hot ywater glue wall finish, furnishing a lodgment and harbor-ground for disease;g‘s, it is a mnatural, rock-base composition, in white and many exquisitely beautiful tints; in powder form, ready for use by simply mixing with cold water. Anyone can brush it on. ALABASTINE cements to walls, distroys disease germs and vermin, and never rubs off or scales. Other wall coatings, under fanciful names, and usually mixed with hot water, are unhealthful kalsomines, stuck on the wall with glue, which soon rots, nourishes germs of deadly disease, rubs and scales, spoiling walls, clothing and furniture. When it is necessary to refinish, the old coats must be washed off—an expensive, nasty, disagreeable job, making the rooms damp and unfit to live in. When walls are once coated with Alabastine, succeeding coats may be applied, yearafter year, without washing the walls, thus saving great expense and annoyance. Hot and Cold Water Kalsomines Have No Merit Some dealers try to sell them, buying them cheap, and trying to sell on Alabastine’s demand until such time as their customers learn of the imposition. 3 - THEY ARE WORTHLESS PREPARATIONS If you cannot buy Alabastine of your hardware, paint or drug dealer, refuse al! imitations, and write.us.
