HOGS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL When Animal Once Acquires Habit of Getting Out of Pasture He Is Hard to Restrain. When a hog once gets the habit of getting out of its yard, pasture or whatever its inclosure may be, it is one of the most difficult animals to control. You can step a breachy horse or cow if you build a fence high enough, but a hog goes through. If there is no hole in the fence it makes one. Of course If the fence was so tight at first that the hog could not >get through, it won't bother you the second and forty-ninth time. Insufficient or irregular feeding, or falling to supply something which the animals crave In the feed makes hogs restless and ready to take the first chance of exploring the outside world 'in hopes of finding what they failed to find in their troughs. It saves time and patience to keep ithem contented and at home. TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS Prescription Given for Pig Weighing ': About 100 Pounds-Give Salt, Sul phur and Charcoal. To expel worms from hogs the fol lowing prescription is right for a pig iwelghing about 100 pounds : Santonin, ifive grains ; calomel, two grains ; areca nut, two grains; sodium bicarbonate, one dram. Keep the hogs off feed for about 12 hours and give the dose in a rJop of middlings. The evening of the same day give a mash of wheat bran. This will flush the bowels. Gather all worms and burn them. Worms often are the forerunner of disease. If a hog or pig has a big appetite 'and thriftless condition, with dry dead ?hair, it ls a good indication of the ?presence of worms. Salt and sulphur and charcoal should 'be kept in every pigpen and^ pig yard ?so the pigs can help themselves. This is a corrective and a preven tive of worms. COLTS RESPOND TO FEEDING ?Sire of Animal Determined First Wln ! ter After Weaning-Aim to Build Up Big Frame. i No farm animal will pay more for 'abundant feeding than the colt. The '.first winter after weaning, the ulti mate size of the colt is largely deter mined. We understand that the French !Percheron breeders feed as much as ?ten pounds daily of bran and oats to [their weanling colts. . The object of feeding the weanling colt is to induce the formation of a iblg frame, with heavy muscling. Our (aim ls not fat Therefore, we prefer ?to feed some bran, oil meal, and oats in connection with corn. For this rea son, also, we prefer a good quality of clover or alfalfa hay to timothy hay. In connection with timothy or corn stover, we would feed a mixture of five parts of com, three parts of oats, three ?parts of bran, and two parts of oil Well-Fed Colts. meal; while in connection with good iclover er alfalfa hay, we would make the mixture five parts of corn, three ?parts of oats, two parts of bran, and .one part of oil meal. To a colt of draft ancestry, designed -?OT market, we would feed at least five ?pounds of such a mixture the first winter, and, as the winter wears on, we might increase to seven or even ten pounds.-Wallace's Farmer. FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE (Some Arrangement Ought to Be Made to Prevent Hogs From Dragging Hay Around Underfoot In feeding alfalfa hay to hogs some .arrangement must be provided to pre sent them wasting the feed by drag ging it around underfoot. A rack with ends boarded up solid and sides made .with -upright two-by-fours far enough apart for the hog to pull the hay through will prevent waste. It should be made light enough so lt can be easily moved by hand to avoid having the hogs always eat at the same place. Quite a broad bottom will be necessary or the rack will get tipped over too often for the owner's serenity, .of mind. The constant strain ol factory work very often results in Headaches, Backaches and other Aches, and also weak ens the Nerves. DR. MILES' ANTI-PAIN PILLS will quickly relieve the Nerves, or Pain, while Dr. Miles' is very helpful when the Heart is overtaxed. IF FIRST BOX, OR BOTTLE, FAILS TO BENEFIT YOU, YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED. Report of Grand Jury. To His Honor, John S. Wilson, Presiding Judge, March Term of Court: We beg to report that we have passed on all bills handed, us, and that we have reported same. We have appointed the following com mittees from our body, and will make their respective reports at the August term of court: Committee on County Offices and County Books-H. T. Medlook, chairman; John Rainsford, R. L. Dunovant, Julias Vann, J. R. Moss. Committee on Chain Gang, Roads and Bridges-C. C. Jones, chairman; W. H. Briggs, C. L. Crouch, W. E. Harling, J. W.

Timmerman. In view of the financial condition i of our county we earnestly urge and recommend that the Supervisor and all other county officers prac tice the most rigid economy in the conduct of their various offices, in asmuch as before the last reduction in the area of our county we col lected tares on a propel ty valuation of approximately four and one-half millions, whereas now we have only a property valaation of approxi mately three and one-half millions, which at the present levy will give us only about twenty-five thousand dollars in taxes and we have spent in the neighborhood of forty-eight thousand dollars with four more months of the fiscal year ahead of us. It is easy to see a very serious situation confronts the taxpayers of the county. We wish to thank your Honor, the Solicitor, and other court offi cials for the assistance rendered us in the discharge of our duties and other courtesies extended us. Respectfully submitted, H. T.

A friend induced me to try Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and I am only too glad to bo able to attest to the relief that I got from these splendid pills. They form a valuable medicine and do all that lt ls claimed they -will do." LEWIS J. CUTTER, Marietta, Ohio. It would be Interesting to get the Ihen's opinion of the egg boycott The hole in the doughnut has to rely opon Its surroundings for popularity. The ultimate consumer is beginning to ask in sepulchral tones, "Why is an egg?" ; Cheerful motto for European roy alty: "Nothing succeeds like a suc cessor." Cigars have now gone up In price. Heretofore they have gone up in smoke. The advantage of arguing with one's self ls that it is possible to have the last word. Dollars may not go so far as for merly, but there seems to be a plenty of dollars. The red-blooded Individual's idea of nothing to talk about is a scarcity of dancing men. Music rarely makes any headway winning popularity in apartment houses or hotels. Another interesting horticultural item is that the plum tree yields much during a second term. With the world on war rations, the human shape might at least be ex pected to improve. Now that the dnsheen is being used as a substitute for the potato, probably its price will go up also. This might be a good time to revive that old evergreen topic about two living as cheaply as one. Eggs, as we recall them, are the delicacies we used to be able to af ford to have for breakfast Currency in Berlin has advanced, but what chiefly Interests us is to know how they are off for eggs. Although the per capita circulation ls placed at $40, some men will have to scrape np $39.70 to prove their case. Of course, if the* oyster erop ls a complete failure, we can decide that we never liked the nasty things any way. Our old Sunday evening pals, the navy bean and the prune, are rapidly acquiring all the respectability of the olive.

Too many people pray for charity for others and think they have per formed their Christian duty toward mankind. Safety matches aro well enough In their way, but some of the matches one encounters now seem to be absolutely fireproof. Why shouldn't women make good laws? They do as well, If not better than men, when lt comes to observ ing them. Ingenious farmers make their auto mobiles do all kinds of work on the farm, thus lightening the burdens of the hired mun. The man who totes a gun and uses it on the slightest provocation ls a criminal with whom the courts cannot deal too severely. They are supplying soldiers who lose their sight with .mbber eyes.

Few of us realize how utterly de pendent we are upon plants aud animais. It is trae that we sow, reap and gather crops; breed, feed and market animals, yet few feel their dependence on plants and animals for food, clothing and shelter. Water and air are all that na ture supplies without man's assist ance. Plants must be propagated, fields cultivated; ciops harvested and marketed; animals must be fed, housed and marketed. Meat, milk and eggs, our princi oipal nitrogenous foods, are deriv ed from animals; bread in what ever way it is made comes from the starchy seeds of plants produced on the farm; edible oils are either of plant or animal origin; most of the staple necessities or luxuries come from plants. Many of the fruits, vegetables, sweets and medi cines come from the vegetable king dom. There was a time when game could be killed,, wild plants taken from prahie or wood. Now the meat supply must come from do mestic animals. Fish are no long ?r easily taken from streams, bat in some instances streams must be 'stocked." Domesticated animals ind cultivated plants are our de pendence for civilization. The world may not recognize it, but ts progress will depend upon the nan that tills the soil and produces mimais ana plants. Men may leave ?he farm or they may ignore its im portance, but they cannot live ?vithout its products.-Farm and Ranch. BAD COUGH? FEVERISH? GRIPPY?
