BIG WAR GARDEN BECOMES "PIGGERY." ? | Twenty acres near Glendale, Ohio, donated for a community-garden project, proved unwieldly, and the Glendale Garden Club called in the county agent. He advised abandonment of the garden project, putting the entire tract in corn and getting enough pigs to provide a hoof market for the crop. So the garden club turned over its interest to a new organization called the Glendale Pig gery. A farmer agreed to put tne, 20 acres in corn on shares, and from) ' him the clug bought 40 pigs with the understanding that he would maintain. them until the corn crop was harvested and then feed them on the ' club's share of the crop. The club got nearly 500 bushels of corn- as its , - share, and this corn is being fed to the pigs, which &ire making , gains that promise a substantial contribution to the club's war-relief fund. i , FIGHTING LOOSE SMUT IN WHEAT. Loose smut, <which reduced the wheat yield of Shelby County, Ind., more than 100,000 bushels this year, meaning a loss of more, than $200,000 to the farmers, is expected to be wiped out in that county within two or three years, as a result of the combined efforts of the county; agent and fann. bureau. A central; treating station was established and 200 bushels of peed wheat >?re treat ed this fall by the hot-water method for the pur-pose* of obtaining * strain of pure,- disease-free "'seed. The treated aided was distributed among 40 farmers.

C?rn shows- in* that! < State inj 1917 were unique in that a 50-ear germination test was made of each entry. These tests saved the State thousands of dollars, disclosing that much of the seed corn of the 1917 crop was very-low, iH ^ ge.rmihating qualities. A campaign was inaugurated for the testing of all; corn to be used for the 1918 crop. The work in many places was taken' Up through the schools, and teachers and pupils ( were taught to make tests. No exT" cuse was left for anv fanner to -' I plant immature corn; in one county 700 camples showed only 30 per cent germinating power,.-and in another copnty only 10 per; cenjt of the corn tested was fit for planting/' The farm bureaus saved the day by carrying on so vigorous a campaign that all corn fit for planting was made available for home use or sale. In addition to supplying the States' need for good seed corn, the farm bureaus were able to get together - N six carloads of tested seed'corn for shipment to "North Dakota and Wisconsin, where also the situation was serious.This corn brought the farmers of Connecticut $15,000. LARGE HOUSES NOT NEEDED FOR HOGS Movable Type of Structure Best Suited for This Climate Advises Clemson College. wemson uonege, juec? 31.?in * some sections of the country farmers build large and more expensive hog houses than are necessary, but in a great many places too little attention is given to proper houses for swine. / Nearly every farmer producing swhre^can profitbaly use one or more movable hog' houses, says the department of agriculture. On many faims, especially in the South, wfcere the winters are mild, movable k h<*ises should meet the needs for m -shelter both from hot sun of summer anl the dampness and storm of 11 >ln South Carolina a great many farmers are just starting into the hog business and a great many club members have pigs to care for. The movable hog house is especially suit| ed to the needs of such people. These | houses can be moved from field to field as the pigs are ctianged from one grazing crop to another. Their use makes it easier also to keep the [ hogs healthy, for the houses may be moved whenever one place becomes unclean. They have additional advantages ! in the fact that they can be fttiilt much more cheaply than the large ones, they can be increased in htlmber as the herd gets larger, and if the farmer is a renter he can take v < J them with him if he should move.

To feel as fine as the proverbial i fiddle, we must keep fche liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre vent its sponge-like pores from clogj ging with indigestible material, sour i j bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted j physician. If you get headaches, it's your liver If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be Uiror CqIIatd ? j comes ruuuiu, us ;uui m?i. ;j skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes,? i! all denote liver uncleanliness. Your | J livor is the most important, also the I must abused and neglected organ oij ij the body. Few know its function or I j how to release the dammed-up body J waste, bile and toxins. Most folks i resort to violent calomel, which is a J dangerous, salivating chemical wliicli j can* only be used occasionally becausei it accftmulates in the . tissues, also j 'ttacks the bones. ,J 2very man and woman, sick or! j well, should drink each morning N? j j iore breakfast a glass of hot' waiui i with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- j { phate in it, to wash from the liver and: I bowels the previous day's indigestible] i material, the poisons, sour bile and j I toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening i and freshening the entire alimentary I canal before putting more food iuu i the stomach. I Limestone phosphate does not re| strict the diet like calomel, because ir can not salivate, for it is harmless ami you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quartet pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limej stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling' fit day In and Jay out. 1 i Engraved Cards and Invitaions? j The Press and Banner Co, "" SAGE TEA KEEPS j Y0URJA1R DARK j /hen Mixed with Sulphur It Brings Back Its Beautiful Lustre at Once. / J j Gray fialr, however handsome, de- i jtes advancing age.
