When to KUI Hogs. The best time to kill hogs Is Just as soon as-the season is cold enough. In winter the cost of increase, in weight is greater than in summer, and the nearer tfte approach of the animal to maturity the slower it gains in pro portion to fdod consumed. Plants Affected With Inserts. Window plants that appear yellow or- do not have a healthy appearance are overaatured. or affected-with in sects. The pots should be examined in order to discover if the drainage is perfect It is not necessary to have the earth wet. but simply moist, and to allow the earth to _dry sotae will do no harm. The dust in the rooms will settle in the leaves of the plants, which makes, it necessary to give each plant a thorough washing occasionally. The Solids In the Milk. Although the law may fix a mini mum percentage of solids in the milk sold in market, yet milk varies accord ing to the kind of cows and the food and water allowed. It is possible to water milk through the cow, and the milk from one cow will vary day after day. The highest percent of solids in milk found in England, when tests were made was 14.49 and the lowest was 11.02. The proportion of fat ranged from 2.20 to 4.85 percent, show ing that some of the milk was more than twice as rich in cream as others, in the United States the percentage of both solids and fat have been greater where tests have been made. Make the Pis ?row. ; . 0 Give the young pigs a good start. It will be to your interest to do so. A young pig that has once been stunt ed will never wholly outgrow it, no matter how good the subsequent care may be. Any animal being grown for meat should have feed enough to make a good gain every day from birth to slaughter. Tf there is ever a time in that animal's life when no gain ls be . ing made in weight, all feed'consumed during that time is practically lost, for "the profit all comes from the feed that makes the gain above the amount required to maintain the animal's needs. In other words, a certain amount of feed necessary to keep the animal alive, and the profit must all come from the little extra feed that makes the gain in flesh. A young ani mal will gain more on a given quantity of teed than an older animal on the same feed. I think we might safely say the younger the animal the greater the gain for the feed con-^ sumed. That is why it pays better to' feed young stock.-Swine Advocate. Hens Stop Lny(n~. There is some cause why hens sud denly stop laying, though certainly not always a lack of food, as the cessation may happen in a single day. Neither is it due to disease, as the . hens may be very healthy! It is noth ing more nor less than a lack of warmth, the heat produced from food being necessary. to keep , up the ani mal heat, leaving nothing toward the production of eggs. A certain amount of heat is due the body of the fowl and should the building not be' sufficiently warm, then that food which should go toward producing eggs is devoted" toward sup plying heat for the body. One cold night with Insufficient pro tection for the hens will stop their laying for fully a week, this occasion ing a loss far greater in the end than would have been the cost of a warm building. Don't neglect the hens in winter if .you expect to have them lay eggs. Watch carefully for each sudden change in lfte weather and ' change the house accordingly. During' the day keep the hens hustling from day: light till dark and the cold will have no effect on the egg supply. Let the morning feed be very light, only one-third of a full meal, then it will not be difficult to keep them* busy.-Home and Farm. The Vuluo of a Clover Sod. The report of the weight- of stubble and roots on a clover field after the last crop had been taken off in the autumn, as found in the experimental farm of the late John B. Lawes at Rothamstead, England, has often been published, but it' has been so long since we have seen it that It will probably Le new to.many of our,, read-, ers. They found In the stubble and waste on the surface of the ground 2669. pounds per acre. In the first- nine' inches below the surface 3017' poifnds. In the next nine inches 275 pounds, and in the third nine inches "191 pounds, or in all 6152 pounds. Accord ing to analysis th's vegetable, matter would have enough phosphoric acid for more tv.an two average crops,' enough nitrogen for more than four average, crops, and potash enough for more than six average crops of wheat. Thus we can see the value of a clover sod plowed under for the wheat or corn crop. If the clover, which, pro-, duced 5000 pounds of hay to the acre, had been plowed In that would have, i added 108 pounds of nitrogen, 28 pounds of phosphoric add, 97 1-2 pounds of potash, 96 pounds of lime and 34 1-2 pounds of ma'gnesia, but it would certainly be more profitable to feed out th*e clover to animals and save their excrements to use .on the ' lan?*.-American Cultivator. ; Winter Rhubarb. , Do you like rhubarb ?> Do you re member how pleasant it seemed in the early spring days when* nothing like it was to be had?

The" Waites on American Farms. -American farmers" are the most wasteful in the world, and American farming the most wasteful business in our wasteful country. They waste land by keeping many acres unused on which they waste money by pay ing taxes. They "waste their crops by leaving a large portion to. die and dry up in the fields, or tbey leave their grain standing until wasted by wind, rain, insects and fungi, br shock it and }?ave it' to take/the- weather as it comes. They waste seed after sav ing to feeding it in a wasteful man~ uer.- They waste fertility of their I field?.^'eareless methods of cropping, while the home "supply of mapure is permitted to waste by means of sun and rain. They waste their substance by buying on credit .(for which privi l?ge they- pay a liberal tax in over charge) or borrowing money for which they have to pay interest as well as principal. They waste tools and implements by leaving them exported to weather, and then must further waste valuable time working ineffective tools. Waste is found in the kitchen and in every department of the household as well as in. the fields and barns. The success of German farmers, Chinese farmers or farmers from any other country is mainly attributable to their practice of a system of farm, economy, learned where economy or starvation were al ternatives. Here the alternative is not so exacting. It is merely economy or comparative, poverty.' In this country a:farm'er may-live ajnd emerge from the .year's'business "wi th out actual loss,and at the same time waste enough ?o feed a foreigner or several horse's, or enough ,to fatten a beef or two, ? or several hogs. Rigid economy may not be actually imperative here, but it is judicious.-Farm and Ranch. To KUI Wre/U. .: . ? It is not quite safe to plunge into the use of chemicals for the destruction of weeds. It is possible to do more Ti?rm than .good. We have known some fine trees, vines and shrubs-to be killed by the careless use even of kerosene ;and of common salt. Mr. L. R. Jones names some solutions, with directions as to the strength' and nse, that are worth preserving. "In fields," he says, "weeds can usually be killed more cheaply by cultivation or digging, and chemicles used in sufficient amount to destroy the weeds are liable to in jure the grain. ?n exception, to this lies in 'the use of blue vitriol to de stroy kale ' in grain fields. It is said that a 3 percent solution' of blue vitriol In water sprayed over a weedy grain field will kill the kale without injury to the . grain. We have not tested this ourselves as yet,- but pro pose to do so this summer. The hawk weed or paint-br?sh ?may form another noteworthy exception, since it "is readily killed by sprinkling with salt in an amount which does not in jure the grass. In general we advise cultivation to destroy the hawkweed, however. Chemicals may be used most advan tageously in gravel walks, drives, ten nis courts, paved gutters .and similar places! Common salt, applied dry, can be used for the purpouo, U it requires so heavy an application that it is liable to wash into and injure adjacent: grass borders. Either of the following solu tions are more effective than salt, more enduring in their action and do not wash.'Thoy may be applied with a watering pot at the rate of about eight.) gallons to the square rod, and one or at most two such applications dur ing-the .season will entirely prevent weed growth. , (a) ?rude ^carbolic acid, one pint in | four, gallons. of water.

' WAYS. OF CATC Kl NC COLD. .V rhys Ici a H Tollg ot the Cancer pr Be.-j! coming Chilled or Hamp. The various ways in whi?h a cold may be brought on dre thus described by a physicien: "A little, knife, blade 11 of air blowing in through a crack, in. a window upon some part of the body will chill that part, and the blood.yes seis of that region will become, con tracted, affecting, somewhere in the in terior of the b^dy an afea in reflex relation with i?is portion of the sur face ot the body. " "For. instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are associated with the blood vessels bf the lungs, so that whatever.- happens ( to the blood ves sels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to the blood ves sels, of the lungs. If there is a contrac tion of the blood vessels of the baek of the neck, there will be a contraction ot-. the blood vessels of the top of - the shoulders and the shoulder blades there will also be a contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs. When the Influence of the cold is continued, this contraction is followed by congestion. "When one puts his hands into cold water for ? few minutes, they are first pale and then red. This is reaction. The longer the application and the more intense the d'gree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the .congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for a long time to the influenc? of cold, one is likely to have a cold in the. nose and throat. If the | shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed, one ls likely to take cold in ihe lungs and Buffer1 from congestion of the lungs. If the' cold is long continued, it may cause not only a. congestion, but ah inflammation of the nose or the lungs.. : : t "So if the bottoms of the feet be come wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result if there has ever been a trouble there, or n weakness of the stomach if there has boen a catarrh: 6f that organ.

What suffering frequently results from a mother's ignorance ; or more frequently from a mother's neglect tc properly instruct her daughter ! Tradition says "woman must suf fer," and young vromen are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion ; but no mother need hesitate to Write freely about her daughter or herself to . Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1699, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irregular menstruation - had headache'all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell, and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March. 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing* in the world equals Mra Pinkham's great medicine for regu lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. Dr. Bull's Cough Cures a cough or cold at once.
