SAVES EFFORT MOVING HOGS "Live-Pork Wagon" Is Extremely Use ful in Handling Swine-Inexpen sive and Easily Made. This drawing shows the plan of my "live-pork wagon." That it is handy and useful is demonstrated by the big demand there is for it among my neighbors, writes C. H. Patridge of Valley county, Nebraska, in Farmers Mail and Breeze. I made it out of an old buggy that had been discarded. The floor of the crate is made of two 1 by 5-inch boards 5 feet long. The "Live-Pork Wagon." standards ale 2 by 2's and wagon bed straps are UH ed for braces, just as in a wagon bed. The top and front end are made of 1 by 2-inch strips. The end gate ls made of rough lumber with heavy strips to prevent breaking when loading heavy hogs. Two heavy strap ?inges are fastened at the bottom, be ing bolted on to'give strength. Two catches at the top hold the gate up when closed. Once a hog ls half way in you can grab up the end of the gate and in he goes. The bottom should not be more than 10 inches above the ground. The front axle may be used as it comes from the buggy, the crate being narrow and set back far enough to permit turning. A drop axle is used for the rear wheels. This wagon hauls Duroc-Jerseys better than any other breed of hogs. .KEEPING HOG LOTS SANITARY Ounce of Prevention Is Worth More Than Pound of Cure-Pr?vido Clean, Wholesome Pood. i. Never wait until your hogs begin getting sick before you be?gin to clean up and improve the sanitary condition of their quarters. In this matter an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. The plan should be to prevent by cleanliness, good sanitation and plenty of pure, fresh water, your hogs from getting sick, and it can be done by the proper kind of treatment Give your hogs plenty of clean pas ares where there are no longer hog disease germs in the soil, and provide 'clean, wholesome food; scald, disin-: feet and clean the troughs and swill ? ?barr?is while the hogs have good health, and don't wait until they are sick to begin it. This should be done frequently during warm weather espe cially. And above all things, don't compel your hogs to lie in their own filth, or any other filth for that matter, for it breeds disease. Clean quarters, clean food, clean water, pure air are tho best preventives against hog cholera. ? CATTLE KILLED BY LIGHTNING Ground Wires Attached to Fences Will Afford Protection During Sudden Electrical Storms. During the season of severe thunder showers many cattle are killed by lightning. Why not reduce the risk? Briefly, here is what one Interested party recommends as a step toward protecting animals in pasture during j .midden electrical storms: Ground pasture fences at least ? ?every 20 rods. Use No. 9 wire. Staple It down the : .post across the strands of fence wire. Extend the wire into the ground about three feet, and allow it to project a i 'few inches above the top of the post LIVE- STOCK NOTE'S Keep young pigs inside during a .rainstorm. : . . .

Unity With the Father ls the Key Stone Upon Which AH Things Depend. "The shell was not filled with pearls until it was contented (that is, ceased from unrest)." In this old Persian proverb we find an example of the same truth that was given by Jesus in his lesson re garding woriaiy care, so beautifully illustrated in the story of the "Lilies of the Field," ending with the in junction: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God eral his righteous ness and all these things shall be add ed unto you." Not until one ceases from all anx ious seeking after and striving for possessions and settles down into a state of peace and rest, through ab solute trust in God for his supply, can he realize the truth that all things whatsoever he desires are in reality his, that as a child of God they rightfully belong to him, else he would not desire them, and that through conscious recognition of the fact, he will come into possession of his own through natural attraction, if quietly resting and trusting, in con fident expectation that the supply will come as needed, in the right time and way. In the Knowledge of the Truth. The conscious knowledge of unity with the Father, who is the source of supply, gives the realization of unity with the manifestation of supply in whatever form or shape needed, thus all fear and belief in lack, which is caused by the ignorant belief in sep aration from our supply, is eliminated from the consciousness. The feeling of trust and security which follows en ables one to maintain an attitude of equilibrium and poise in all circum stances and conditions. Nothing can disturb him who knows the truth, for he feels the power which knowl edge gives and rests serenely in that consciousness. He knows that he has only to make use of this power, in faith and trust, to bring to him any thing ho needs when he wants it. He becomes a law unto' himself. He knows, also, that he is responsible for the way in which he may use this power and therefore must use it in accordance with the law of right eousness, else he will bring direful consequences upon himself. Knowl edge and responsibility are insepara ble, and only through right use of his power can one produce harmony In his life and affairs and so be free from the adverse consequences result ing from its misuse. Man's Divine Gift Man Is given freedom to make his world and conditions what he will, and he learns through the use of his power how to use it aright, a state of heavenly blessedness; a conscious es of peace and power within, and the fulfillment of all his desires. His hopes and aspirations will all be real ized and he will find rest In the con sciousness of being in possession of the source and cause of all things, either In the heavens above or the earth beneath. "I and the Father are one and all that the Father hath is miue." To arrive at this grand consumma tion one must cease from all unrest and should cultivate a state of peace, and trust in the omnipotent goodness of God, who is the life and substance of all things and in due time the realization will follow. The following exercise in concentration and medita tion will assist in producing the de sired state of mind for the above realization: Concentrate the attention upon tho Supreme Being and meditate upon his all-abounding and unchange able love and goodness until you be come conscious "Of your unity with it. Then whenever this consciousness is lost to you, as it may be through let ting the cares of the world enter in and take possession of you, make it your first duty to re-establish the con dition, for all your good will come through it Misers With Minutes. A minute is the efficient man's ally in getting work accomplished. The unused minutes in most lives are suf ficient for the learning of a foreign language. A native Chinese Christian preacher, who in addition to his evangelistic work oversees several schools and cares for the Y. M. C. A. work, became proficient in the use of English. One of the American mis sionaries wrote that he was able to accomplish this by using the spare minutes that others spent In idle talk. Recently a friend expressed surprise that a man who seemed always to be responsible for work sufficient for sev eral men nevertheless found time to read so much. "I put the reading into niches of time here and there," he explained. Are there things that you are longing to do if there were time? Do not wait for the elusive hours, but snatch the ever-at-hand minutes and begin to do those things.-Sunday School Times. Dwelling In God. "Come unto me," says the holy Jesus, "all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you." Beg of him to be the light and life of your soul; love the sound of his name; for Jesus is the love, the sweetness, the compassionate goodness of the Deity itself; which became man, so men might have the power to be come the sons of God. Love, and pity, and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love and then you dwell in God.-William Law. SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE Desirable to Have Fields Fenced Off Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs From Ono to Another. (By G. W. BARNES, Arizona Experiment Station.) While a few hogs can be raised con fined in limited quarters, provided such quarters are kept clean, they will do better, remain healthier and produce pork more economically if they have plenty of alfalfa range. It is desirable to have the alfalfa pasture fenced off into suitable areas, BO that the hogs can be shifted from one pasture to another. This will not only provide fresh pasture, but will give an opportunity to cultivate, and if need be to disinfect. Practically all cases of intestinal worms, which are common in swine, are contracted from infected grounds; therefore, by pasture rotation you can help keep your hogs free from these parasites.
