Seaside Resort Managers Consider Circumstance an Infallible Indica- tion of an Early Winter and Close Up Shop. Just outside the bathing lines at Manhattan Beach fishermen have for more than a week been pulling in blackfish with unusual success. The catch has this year been almost un- precedented and bathers turn out to watch the fishing. The bathing pavil- ions have closed this fall two weeks earlier than they have at any time in the last ten years, and the crop of blackfish has had its effect in causing this. Their presence is taken to mean an early winter. This coming after a cool and rainy summer, the bathing pavilion managers decided that it was useless to struggle longer against the weather. For a Bad Back. Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19.—A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but ow scarcely one can be found whe has any such trouble. Mr. Gottlieb Mill is largely respon- sible for the improvement, for it was he who first of all found the remedy for this backache. He has recom: mended it to all his friends and neigh- bors, and in every case it has had wonderful success. Mr. Mill says:— “For many years I had been trou- bled with my Kidneys and pains in the small of my back. I tried many medicines but did not derive any bene- fit until last fall, when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I began to improve, my back quit aching and I felt better and stronger all around. “{ will keep them in the house right along for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else.” BOUGHT ART TO DESTROY IT. Man of Wealth Who Would Have No Reproduction of His Paintings. The attendants in the art gallery of a department store in Brooklyn were startled the other day to see a man deliberately destroy two pictures that he had just purchased at a cost of $47. The man is wealthy and aims to have a collection of art objects that have no duplicates. He had _pur- chased in the art gallery that was the scene of his vandalism a painting for which he paid $1,000. After it was sent home he was showing it to a friend, who, knowing the collector’s weak- ness, told him he had seen two repro- ductions of the painting in the same gallery, one priced at $35 the other $12. “Go and buy them for me,” said the collector, and when you get them break them up. I'll give you a check for $47 before you go home.” The friend declined the task, so the collector went to the store himself, pointed out the two pictures, and after he had paid for them destroyed them on the spot. This same man ordered a table with a carved top, for which he paid $900, and after it had been finished he went to the artist who had designed it and ‘stood by him while he destroyed the original drawings for the table. That was part of the contract, and he meant to see it carried out.—New York Press, SPOLIED CHILDREN Usually Make Sickly Men and Women. The “spoiled child” usually makes @ weak, sickly man or woman be- cause such a youngster has its own way about diet and eats and drinks things that are unsuited for any stom- ach and sickness results. “I was always a delicate, spoiled child, and my parents used to let me drink coffee because I would ery for it,” says a Georgia young woman. “When I entered school my nervous- ness increased aad my _ parents thought it was due to my going to school, so they took me out again. But I did not get any better, and my headaches got worse and weakened me so that I was unfit for any duty. Sometimes I would go a whole day without any other nourishment than a cup of coffee. “Last spring I had a bad attack of the Grippe and when I recovered I found that coffee nauseated me so 1 could not drink it, and even a few swallows would cause a terrible burn- ing in my stomach. It was at this lime that a friend who had been much benefited by the use of Postum sug- gested that I try this food drink. I found it simply delicious and have used it ever since and the results speak for themselves. I have galned 12 pounds and my neryes are as steady as any one’s. “I consider myself well and strong. ‘and I make it a point now to take a eup of Postum with a cracker or two as soon as I come home from school in the afternoon. Postum with crack- ers or a biscuit makes my luncheon. It certainly saved my life, for I know coffee would have killed me in time had I continued drinking it. “I have a young girl friend, a sten- ographer, who declares nothing strengthens and refreshes her like Postum, and she has a little oil stove in her office and makes a cup of Pos- tum at noontime. I have recommend ed this wonderful beverage to many of my friends who know what it has done for me.” Name given by Pos- tum Co,., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, “The Road to Wellviile.” ts Sil .| clean all the wool and filth away from When the Lamb Comes. As the time for the coming of the youngsters approaches, the shepherd will be making preparations, says A. D. Gamley. If the lambs are coming in May, very little is necessary to be done, but if in March, and the sheep pen is not warm enough for new-born lambs, then warmer quarters must be provided. My plan is to have a shed built of poles, covered with straw and well banked with manure, into which turn the cattle, making the vacated stalls into temporary pens by nailing a few boards across the ends. Now for the lambs. As the ewes bring them into the warm stable, where the pens have already been prepared, ex- amine the udder, draw some milk, so that the lamb will get it more freely, around it, so that the Iamb will have no trouble in getting hold of the teat. If the lamb is strong, don’t be in too great a hurry to get him to suck, he will soon find the teat, and the less they are handled the better. If the lamb is weak, assist it to the teat, holding it up for a few times, or until he finds his legs, If too weak to suck, draw some milk from the ewe into a warm tea cup, feeding two or three spoonfuls at a time, until strong enough to help itself. If a lamb is chilled and apparently lifeless, pour a teaspoonful of gin in a little warm water down its throat, and submerge it once, all but the head, in warm water, or put in a warm oven. The latter, the hot air cure, I think is much the surest plan. I have brought round lambs in that way that have been picked up for dead. Never give up a lamb that has been chilled and never sucked, without trying one of the aforesaid methods for its recov- ery; the chances for that lamb living are a good deai better than for an} ailing lamb a few days or a week old. As the lambing progresses, the shep- herd will have observed that some ewes are much heavier milkers than others, and that the poor milkers very often have twins; put one of the twins on a ewe with a single lamb and a good milker. The best and easiest plan is to pick out a ewe giving indi- cations of being a good mother, and watch for her lambing. As soon as she has lambed, and before she gets up, place the twin lamb beside the new-born lamb, and roll and rub them together, which will give the same appearance and smell to both, and when the ewe turns round to survey her progeny she will never suspect the fraud, but will commence licking both lambs. I have never seen this plan fail. If a ewe loses her lamb, make! her foster a twin (aim to make every! ewe raise a lamb). This requires a| little patience. My plan is to skin the dead lamb and sew the pelt on to the twin lamb, putting the dam and foster lamb in a dark pen for a few days, always keeping a sharp look- out to see if the lamb is doing all right. It is as well in their case to tie up the ewe for the first day or so. Take off the pelt in 24 or 30 hours. | Weaning the Pigs. The common method is to shut the pigs up and let the sows go out in the pasture, said a Wisconsin swine breed- er. Then the music begins. That is the way I used to do. The sows hung around the whole day, and then they got caked and we would have trouble with them, and sometimes an excel- lent brood sow was ruined. I don’t do that now. I have a feeding floor ad- joining my hoghouse. The feeding is all done on this floor. I shut the sows in on this floor and allow the pigs every access to them. I feed the sows all the oats they can eat; give them all the water they can drink. The pigs are fed all the shelled corn they can eat. They go up: there, eat) and get to the sows. By the end of the week these sows are dry, and the pigs get so disgusted going up there and finding nothing that they just quit. Absolutely at the end of one week not a pig will go near its mother. You can turn the sows right out in the pasture with the pigs, and there is no more trouble. Now this is not a theory. I have done that way for years and the pigs never suck the sows again. It is an easy thing to dry a sow that way; feed them nothing but oats on a dry floor and let them drink water, Missouri Swine. A bulletin of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture says: Missouri ranks third in the United States in the number and value of her swine products according to the twelfth cen- sus reports, being exceeded, only by lowa and Illinois. By reference to the report it will be seen that on June ist, 1900, there were in round numbers 4,500,000 hogs in this state. From the same authority we find that the principal classes of live stock in Missouri were valued on June ist, 1900, as follows: Cattle .. Horses . - $75,600,000 42,000,000 Hogs + 16,500,000 Mules ,. +++ 15,400,000 This shows that hogs rank third among the great live stock interests of the state in total valuation, but if we take into consideration the fact that the bulk of the hogs are mar- keted at the age of from six to nine months, while the bulk of the cattle are two years old or more, horses and mules from four to eight years old when marketed, then the hogs make a better showing. The total cash re- ceipts from the sale of hogs is a close second to cattle | nature; Eagte and Cows Battle. A dispatch from Somerville, N. J., to the Drovers’ Journal says: A large gray eagle, the first seen in this vi- cinity in many years, created con- sternation among a herd of cattle on the farm of Charles Covert, near Mount Bethel. The eagle flew from the mountains to the lowlands where the cattle were grazing. It took shel- ter in a tree, and waiting an oppor- tunity swooped down on a calf of the herd. The mother of the calf and several cows surrounded the eagle and forced it from its prey. The eagle at- tacked the cows and its onslaught was so furious that the animals were stampeded, but they rallied again and circled frantically around the calf, thrusting at the eagle viciously with their horns each time it renewed its attack on the smaller animal. The eagle resorted to strategic measures, by driving the cows, one by one, across the field. At this juncture Covert, who had been attracted by the disturbance among the cattle, ap- peared on the scene with a gun. The eagle alighted on a rail fence to await developments and a minute later fell to the ground shot through the head. It is one of the largest specimens ever seen here and Covert will have it pre- served. Four of Covert’s cattle had strips of hide torn from their bodies by the eagle. Bromus Inermis for Pasture. Bromus inermis makes an excellent pasture grass, as it shoots up in the spring about two weeks earlier than any of the native grasses, produces a good aftermath or second growth, and continues to grow especially late in the fall. If the summer is dry it will stop growing, and start again after the beginning of the fall rains, but if the dry period is not too long it will con- tinue to grow from early in the spring until late in the fall. At the Kansas Station we have grown Bromus inermis in a field way for four seasons. This summer we have pastured some young stock, ranging from 9 to 18 months of age, on a field of Bromus inermis seeded last fall. These calves have not shown any noticeable preference between Kentucky blue-grass, prairie- grass and Bromus inermis, and have thrived well on the Bromus inermis. The grass stands tramping by stock exceedingly well. It is so vigorous that it will run out all weeds and other grasses, after it once becomes well established. It, however, may be sown with other grasses and legumes, and allowed to take full possession ip a few years.—Kansas Bulletin. Why Insects Abound Now. Prof. F. M. Webster: There are three prime reasons which have made spraying not only necessary, but in many cases absolutely imperative, if success is to be secured. These aie (1) the destruction of the food plants of many of our now destructive na- tive insects, and the replacing of these in large areas with plants of similar (2) the weakening of our trees, plants and vines by hybridiza- tion, cultivation, grafting and budding, and (3) by the importation of varieties quite similar to those indigenous to ‘our country, but more susceptible to attack from our native insect pests and plant diseases. The clearing up of the native forests where native fruits were produced, and the destruc- tion by similar methods of many of the food plants of leaf-eating insects, has driven these to the cultivated veg- etation, because these insects had no where else to go, and it was a case of either adapting themselves to a slight change of food or perish. Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull. Schwartzkopf, of the Minnesota Sta- tion, treating of the influence of feed upon the dentition of pigs, writes: 1. The order of succession of teeth in our precocious pigs runs the same as in the primitive hog. 2. The times when the teeth appear are variable, according to race, feed- ing and health. The same breeds raised under the same conditions will show the same appearance. 3. The form of the skull depends upon nutrition, health and more or less employment of certain muscles of the head and neck. Skulls of poorly nour- ished pigs are long and more slender than from those well nourished. Pigs that are prevented from rooting will acquire a short, high and rounded vad, while those that are forced to st to secure a portion of their food will develop a long and slender form of head. Where the Cream Should Sour. Some hold the view that, since the cream has to be soured before churn- ing, why not let it sour on the farm? This is objectionable for the follow- ing reasons: 1. It is the butter-mak- er’s work to introduce and develop the flavor in the cream, which gives us the fine aroma in butter which we, as well as the consumers, so much desire, 2, The butter will be more uniform in flavor when one man, who under- stands the work, does it, than when a number, who don’t understand it, are trying to do it. 3. The proper facilities to do the work are always available at the creamery.. 4. To most farmers all sorts of flavors come un- der the head of souring, which to the butter-maker might be most objec- tionable. 5. The maker has made a study of the work, consequently is in a better position to produce what is required than those who are unlearned in this respect.—W. A. Wilson. A FUTURE NECESSITY.
