In f fact, all other conditions may be per- t feet and yet if this point is neglected failure may result. Get the pigs on a milk or milk and ^ ehorts ration by the third week ol a their existence, if possible. This c may be done by building a small pen t or creep near their bedding plac*. c and putting a small amount of milk g in a shallow vessel (something that t can't be overturned). They will soon r learn to eat. Increase the feed as t they advance in age, but don't feed c more than they will clean up. Keep r the vessel clean by occasional scald- t lrg and sunning. v The first four months of a pig's j life determines largely his after sue- s cess. Never let him lose his "pig t fat" during this time. Prepare now ., for ample grazing, by sowing rape r or rape and grain mixed. This can j be grazed by the pigs within six to r eight weeks after sown. Allow them v to run on any green crops, especially c clover or vetch, as soon as they will ITraze?usually by the time they are, four to five weeks old. \ Keep a succession of field grazing crops maturing throughout the summer and fall to supplement their * dally ration of grain and to enable them to produce at a profit. Hogs j fed on grain alone without grazing > crops, will give little or no profit. 1 Make your family proud of their home Your wife and children cann pride in their home if the hous and weather-beaten.

The first of these consists of light, well sweetened, many raisin dotted, white wbeaten bread; the next of cooky dough shaped Into bunnies? snub tailed, long eared, wildly rampant or hunched up bunny fashion?with a bright silver coin for an eye. And the really most toothsome "hnsen-ohren," or bunny ears, are made as follows: Haifa pound of flour, three tablespoon, fuls of sugar. four tablespoonful* of butter, a teaspoonful of salt, two whole eggs and the yolks of two other* are worked Into a dough, which let stand for three hours in a cool spot. Roll out to the thickness of a knife Made and with a pastry wheel cut into strips four Inches long and one Inch wide. Bake In briskly boiling lard to a delicate golden yellow, sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar and eat before they're three hours old. These same Inch wide strips, cut Into longer lengths and woven round and round before Immersing In the boiling lard, form the so called "stork nests" of Suahlnn fame. Such a "nest" filled with delicately tinted Raster eggs makes a charming center dish for the Juvenile Raster supper table. ? New York Evening Sun + THE DISC HARROW. Clemson College. April 2.?Every farmer who has used the disc harrow appreciates its value for producing a fine seed bed. However, as a general rule farmers look upon a harrow as an implement to use after the plow, and never think of what great value it is when used before plowing. As soon as the land gets into condition for plowing n early spring, there is a rush to ;et through. Often before the land an all be plowed it has dried out | to much that it crusts over, and | i rns up in noas. i nis is wncre tne lisc harrow proves of great value. V11 the land which cannot be plowed hould at least be run over by tnc lisc harrow to form a mulcn so hat it will not crust over before it an be plowed. It will always be a ;ood plan to use the disc harrow in his manner in the spring and sumier, as at these seasons the moisure gets out of the land before it an all be plowed. Dy making a nulch of loose earth with the disc larrow plowing can be continued vith satisfaction, and the land put nto good condition. The land hould not be allowed to bake on op. If a disc harrow is not availhie, then use the next best implenent, and put a mulch over the soil, leneatli the mulch the soil will renain mellow and in turning there rill be an absence of the despised lods which make cotton stands so incertain. -Vhenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless ihill Tonic is equally valuable as i. > general Tonic because it contains the i veil itnown tonic propcrticsof QUIN'IN <1 >nd IRON.

Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condition that should never be neglected.. I Harsh cathartics and violent purgatives should never be employed to relieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system.
