TBEATIXENT FOR CANCER,

HOG NOTES.
Do not feed young pigs sour

Agood brood sow should be kept
as long as she is a good mother.
Using a pure bred boar on common
sows usually gives satisfactory ran

It will not do to condemn a sow
to the feed lot because slow told

I3ALANCED RATIONS.
Those who are considered author-
ities on stock feeding repudiate feed-
ing by rule. The feeder must give
personal attention to the feeding
manger and the animal feeding from
it, and should also keep an eye out
for the profit side of their feeding.
The balanced ration. important as it
is, loses its yalue when it costs more
than it returns. The feeder who se-
cures marked success from his work
has a keen eyo to note the result
from his feeding, and takes those
results as a guide to his rations, Dr.
Jordan well says that "it is doubt-
less true that feeding standards
have promoted progress in the feed-
ing of animals, but on the other
hand we have suffered more or less
from unwise standards, and have at
times held exaggerated estimates of
the economic importance of the nu-
tritive ration." Thus here, as in
every other farm operation, the man
in charge is called upon to exercise

MUSICAL INSECTS.
More than 8,000 persons in Japan
make a good living by breeding,
training, and selling what are
known as "singing insects." The
ineects somewhat resemble our
cric.kets, being known in Japan by
the name of lcusa-hibari. The music
which they make resembles that of a
silver bell, and, though rather mono-
tonnus, is very clear and sweet. The
Japanese keep the insects in tiny
bamboo cages and take great care
of their strange pets.

WORLDS LARGEST MIRROR.
SPRAY ALL TREES.
Even the trees which bear no fruit
should be sprayed as thoroughly and
carefully as if they ware loaded with
it, both against insects and fungous
diseases. Herein lies the secret , of
much success. If it is but one or
two rows or single trees in an
orchard they may retain the power
to reinfect the trees whicJj have been
sprayed so as to partially destroy
the effect of the spraying, but there
is a still- more irn.portant season.
