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.

, 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. Netx year the wheat;

PLANTING CORN' THAT' W&?f
J GROW."" v;'
Connecticut's experience* last season
show? the value of [testing seed
corn. 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.

rates for short over-night messages,

with short communications,
which should not suffer the delays
inherent in physical transportation

| SAYS HOT WATER I
WASHES POISONS |
FROM THE LIVER |
Everyone should drink hot water j
with phosphate in it,
i i before breakfast
... - I!
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

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'
