HIS TRIBUTE TO WOMEN,
Page 3
No matter what nue may think of the
philosophy of ttobert G Ingersoll, one
must admit that he stands gut pominent-
ly se an American, who was a master
in the use of the English htnguage
The following is his oft -quoted tribute
to women:
"It takes a hundred men to melee an
encampment, but one woman can make
a home. I not only admire a woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but I reverence her as the redeeming
glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all
the virtues, the pledge of all perfected
qualities of heart and head. It is not
jiist nor ri;ht to lay the sin of men at
the feet of a woman. It is because
women are so much better than men
that their faults are considered great-
er. A man's desire is the foundation
of his love, but, a woman's desire is
born of her love. The one thing in this
world that is constant, the one peak
that rises above all clouds, the one
window in vvhtch the light forever
burns, the one star that darkness can-
not quench, is woman's love. • It rises
to the greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths. It forgives the moat
cruel injuries. It is perennial of life.
and grows in every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect, harshness nor
crueiness can extinguish it. A woman's
love is the perfumer of the heart. This
is the real love that subdues the earth;
the love that has wrought all miracles
of art; that gives us music all the syay
from the cradle song to the grand
closing symphony that bears the
cloud away on wings of fire. A
love that is greater than power, sweeter
than life and stronger than death."
PORK PRODUCTION.
1 able to feed with corn for fattening
hogs.
Ground wheat either soaked or
moistened gives faster gains with less
grain for 100 pounds of grain than corn,
but corn gave faster gains with less
grain for 100 pounds of grain than
whole wheat either soaked or dry.
Soaking wheat increased its feeding
value only slightly, but grinding the
wheat increased its feed value about
one-fifth.
For growing pigs on alfalfa pasture
and fattening them when having access
to alfalfa hay, a grain ration of corn
proved more efficient than a grain
ration of two parts corn and one part
shorts.
Experiments in cooking alfalfa hay
for hogs, indicate that the feeding
value of the alfalfa may have been in-
creased slightly by the cooking, but not
sufficiently to offset the extra cost.
The summary indicates among other
items that with corn valued at 60 cents
per bushel the cost of feed alone for
producing a pound of pork is about 5
cents.
Very interesting data concerning the
cost of wintering brood sows and the
cost of growing and fattening pigs are
given in Nebraska Agricultural Ex-
periment Station Bulletin 147, which
is a report of the Norio Platte Substa-
tion.
By using a large amount of alfalfa
'bay with a limited amount of grain the
net cost of wintering old brood sows is
kept at the low figure of $L25 each
without allowing the sow to become too
thin for the best results in raising
litters. On a ration containing from
one-fourth to one-third alfalfa hay,
young brood sows are carried from the
pasture fields to the farrowing pens at
a small profit and in suitable condition
for farrowing and raising fair litters.
AwThe s verage number of pigs per litter
! raised from old sows during a period of
four years was 6 55, at a cost of $2.11
per pig weighing 60 pounds. The aver-
age number of pigs raised by young
brood sows during a like period was 6.2
at a cost of $1.68 per pig weighing 50
pounds. The fall pig was grown t� the
weight of 50 pounds aa cheaply as the
spring pig.
When grazing on alfalfa, pasture
pigs receiving 2.5 pounds of grain per
100 pounds of their weight daily, have
gained 0.75 pound per days. The rate
of grain on alfalfa pasture bore a Biose
relation to the amount of grain fed,
The most suitable supplementary
reed to corn for fattening hogs seems
to depend on several variable factors,
Oil meal, cold pressed cottonseed cake,
and tankage rank close together in the
profits secured in nearly all tests. In
some tests these by-products give faster
gains and more profit than corn and
alfalfa, and in other tests the revere
ie true. The physical condition of the
hogs as influenced by weather and other
factors seems to determine whether
alfalfa hay or such a by-product as
those just mentioned is the most profit -

WHAT IS A GENTLEMANr
What is a gentleman? Is it a thing
Decked with a scarf pin, a chain
and a ring?
Dressed in a suit of imnlaeulate
style,
Sporting an eyeglass, a lisp and a
smile?
Whistling mazurkas . and smoking
cigars?
What is a gentleman? Say, is it some
one,
Boasting of conquests and deeds he has
done,
One who unblushingly glories to
speak
Things which should call up a, flush to
his cheek;
One, who whilst railing at actions
unjust,
Robs some young heart of its pure-
ness ano trust,
Scorns to steal money, or jewels or
wealth,
Thinks it no crime- to take honor by
stealth,

But I never whip him, 'cause
He is so fond of me.
I don't know where I got him, but

I know he's fond of me.

One who can tell by a glance at your

Backache
The artist sketched this picture
from life in a Toronto blacksmith
shop, in order to get the correct
pose of the smith at the anvil and
shoeing a horse. Is it any wonder
that the blacksmith's greatest
troubles are backache and derange-
ments of the kidneys ? The con-
stant strain on the muscles of the
back and kidneys interferes with
the filtering action of these organs.
The uric acid poisons left in the
blood cause pains and aches, back-
ache and rheumatism, and such
serious diseases as Bright's disease
and hardening of the arteries
result.
But it is not the blacksmith alone who
is tortured by backache, for there are
many occupations in which the continuous
'strain on the back leads to 'much suffering,
and also to serious disease
Blacksmiths have always been strong
in their praise of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pills, and by telling others of the good
results accomplished by this treatment
have added much to its popularity among
farmers and horsemen generally.
Tieing direct and prompt in their
action, Dr. Chase 's Kidney -Liver Pills
appeal to the man of action, The liver is
awakened, the bowels aroused and the kid-
neys strengthened by the influence of this
medicine. The filtering and excretory
organs lose no time in cleansing the sys-
tem of the poisonous matter which gives
rip, to painand disease. Constipation is
overcome, kidney derangements corrected,
digestion improved, and you feel fine. Put
them to the test when you are feeling 'out
of sorts. Let them prove their value. One

HOW TO SUCCEED every prospect that the number of
needy Consumptives will be greater
than ever before,
In these times of stress, when many
voices proclaim (and worthily proclaim)
the needs of citizens who face sickness
and death away from home, the Hospi-
tal for Consumptives are urgently in
need of the influence of every friend to
help in the increasingly difficult task of
securing funds for the maintenance of
those citizens who, through the ravages
of Consumption, face sickness and
death right in our midst.
The design of the Xmas Seal selected
for this year of suffering and anxiety
is the most attractive and appropriate
that has ever been used. It takes the
form of a Nurse in uniform making her
appeal on behalf of the sick ones under
her care, by holding up the double bar
red cross, which is the emblem 'of the
Crusade against Consumption.
Last year the proceeds of the Xmas
Seal Campaign reached $15,000, which
was $3,000 ahead of the previous year.
$20,000 is the sum aimed at this year.
Twenty clerks in a store, twenty
hands in a printing office. Twenty ap-
prentices in a ship yard, twenty young
men in a village—all want, to get along
in the world and expect to do so, One
of the clerks will become a partner,
and make a fortune; one of the com-
positors will own a newspaper and
become an influential citizen; one
of the apprentices will become a
master builder; one of the young
villagers will get a handsome farm
and live like a patriarch - but which
one is the lucky individual? Lucky?
There is no luck about it. The thing
is almost as certain as the rule of
three. The young fellow who will dis-
tance his competitors is he who mas-
ters his business, who preserves his in-
tegrity, who lives purely and cleanly,
who devotes his leisure to the acquis-
ition of knowledge, who gains friends
by deserving them, and who saves
spare money. There are some ways to
fortune shorter than this old dusty
highway; but the staunch man of the
community; the mail who achieves
something really worth having—good
fortune. good name, a serene old age—
goes in this hard, dusty road.
Keep a stritit account of both profits
and expenses; be careful to keep the
first in advance of the last until the
point of independence is reached. and
you will most certainly avoid the dread-
ful fate heretofore so common to nine -
tenths of the foolish voyagers upon un-
certain seas of business.
Let your industry never grow weary;
keep your faithful servant economy,
ever on guard, and should no unfore-
seen disaster overhelm you, your voy-
age will most surely be a successful
one.

WHITEWASH FOR MITES
If you are going to be a 'successful
poultryman. young man you must get
after those mites. They sap all the
life out of the hens and cut down the
supply enormously. They kill off large
numbers of the most promising chick-
ens, They are the worst enemies with
which your flock has to contend.
But you can get rid of them if you
will. Have a thorough house • cleaning
some fine day this coming Spring.
Clean up the dirty floor. Take out the
roosts and scrape them, and clean out
the dirty nests. If they are too badly
infested, burn them up and make some
new ones. Brush down the cobwebs
from the corners.
Then take a spray pump and spray
the whole inside of the poultry house,
getting into all the cracks and corners
with a mixture of one part crude car-
bolic acid to ten of kerosene. This
kills any of the mites which may have
fled to the cracks and crevices for safe-
ty. After this is dry, put on the white-
wash. It may be put on with the same
spray pump, but it sticks better and
lasts longer if it is put on with a brush.
Lice and mites can't stand whitewash.
After the whitewash has thoroughly
dried, refit the house with clean roosts
and nests, and put some clean straw on
the floor. If you wish, you can dust
the hens off with lice powder before
admitting them to the house. Repeat
dusting again in about a week, or bet•
ter apply the blue ointment. It is a
very good time to do the job. If you
will do this you will find that the lice
have departed for some other henhouse
whose owner is not so good a poultry-
man as you.—University of Wisconsin -
