S. Lee. Sr, was born in Adams county. Illinois, on the 23rd day of April. 1839.

His parents were Latter Day Saints. Driven that spring from their home in Caldwell county, by orders of the then govern of Missouri, because of their peculiar religion, his parents moved to Nauvoo. Illinois. From the time of his birth to that migration, report and tradition proclaimed that little John Smith I-ee was enshrouded in a veil from head to foot. "At a gathering: of the Nauvoo w-gion.

with a grand -marching of school children, May 1. 1844. little J. S. Lee was present with his father, and his eyes were the only eyes on earth that saw blood fall upon the drum heads while Joseph F.

Smith was speaking to the pe jple. In 1849 the hoy crossed the great plains to Salt Lake eity. Tho little fellow was of Jtwlld (not dissipated) nature, loved hunting and outings with the Indians very much. At the age of 13 lie organized the hoys of Toole c-lty. Ctali.

Into a religious body, and in that organization he struck the first blow at the doctrine of Brigham Young and was expelled from the Sunday school for his persistent defense of the doctrine taught In the Book of Mormon, which was being violently trampled under foot by the old. Solony lnite. "In 1839 he went with Youngs Express company east of Salt Lake to help build stage stations. While staying at Fort Bridger a few days he saw the company that was afterward massacredat Mountain Meadows.

FOR THE HOG rAISBR.

Old sows usually farrow more and larger pigs than young ones A mixture of a little salt, charcoal, ashes and air slaked lime has a good effect upon parasites of the digestive system of either young or old pigs. From five to twenty acres of corn planted with a view to lotting the hogs harvest it has proven a very profitable Investment for many farm-prs. Mature sows can raise two litters of pigs a year, but the little fellows should not be allowed to suckle for more than eight or ten weeks. In selecting a brood sow It-Is Important that the number of pigs she farrows, the number she raises, and her attitude toward them be determined bafpre purchasing. Bran, thllk and pasturage are some of the bulky foods well adapted to the real young pig- They help to distend the digestive system, which enables the pig to use cheaper "and coarser feeds to better advantage than the pig raised concentrates.

BREBDING FARM ANIMALS. All breeding animals should have a sound constitution. A vicious disposition can not be bred out. Breed only from pure-bred males. We should breed the beat, and breed for a definite purpose.

Breed only from mature animals. Breed dairy cows or beef cows never try a mixture. Judicious selection should be coupled with good Judgment. Do not breed animals that have an Inherited tendency to disease. Avoid Inbreeding except to render permanent some desirable quality.

Breed the kind of animals the market demands not what you like best Do not mate extremes have the crosses In harmony. Good care and food, comfort apd quietude should be moled out to every animal bearing young. NUBBINS OF NE4VS. Mr. Howard 8.

WITH cowsf FBW Following I trnm wltlv man who recently ona ln th dairy buslnaaa. oonvaraatlon Ha la a strong baMevar in tha cream separator, For several years wa had kaspinar three or four calf each year but letting the calve, suck tho cow until they war from four to alx months old. and not trying in milk them until after the calf was quite large, and then after we did wsafi them the cows did not aeem to do well In giving milk, and It alao oeified that the cowa were making us a very emull amount of money thla "Three years ago I chanced to be a place where a cream separator was being exhibited, and seeing its working and getting a few figures about making butter, and selling cream and alao feeding the aklm milk to hogs. It appeared to me that I would like to have a good separator.

So when I returned home wife and 1 talked the matter over, and It seemed os though we were not financially able to buy the machine, but at that time we had four cowa, two of which were and the other two would be fresh soon. After talking the matter over considerably we decided to try the machine. "Following our decision, we bought what wo thought was a good separator. Before we bought the separator the most butter we had ever made any one week waa only eight pound. very small amount of course.

With the help of the separator we made 12 pounds the first week from the same cows, apparently giving the same amount of milk and on the same feed. We weaned our calves young1 and kept on making butter until September, when we began selling cream. We go only 17 to 25 cents per pound for our butter. The higher price for just a little to private customers. and It mostly sold for 20 cent.

different prices for cream, according to the price of butter fat. which varied from 22 to 32 cents per pound. For the year beginning and ending kith the time we bought the separator we sold butter and cream to the amount of 22t.50. this amount minus 137.50, the value of our outlay for the year before, leave 88, for the cream and butter, to which may be added the sales of the calves, which was 45. which makes a total of 1JJ.

for the first year with the separator. These figures are not large, of course, but It Is at least twice what we were getting for the same cows by letting the calves have the milk. "It Is much more work to milk than to turn the calves to the cows twice a day, but the extra amount of milk for the pigs, and also the skim milk for the calves pays good wages for the time spent In milking. "The experience we have had proven to me that a good cream separator Is a most paying Investment on a farm. It is also a great labor saving device, being much easier to wash and handle than either crocks or cans.

But what la most astonishing to me is the difference in returns between the use of the separator, and the letting of the calves have the milk. "My income Is fully doubled, and 1 believe will be higher In the future, and the labor Is not great. It is also a much more sanitary way of handling milk than the old way, separator removes many that would otherwise milk or cream. "If any one can make good butter without a separator they will certainly make better butter with one, and besides get all the cream Instead of Just part. A small sized separator will pay for Itself In one year with the milk from but two or three cows.

I have already learned that good cows, properly housed, fed and milked and a cream separator with which to separate the cream from the milk are a continued source of Income. Is not such experience -a, the above good? a 1 am always glad to meet sudft- men and talk with them. It makes me feel good down deep In my I know they are doing business In a buslness-I Ike-manner, and success always comes under such conditions. GARDEN talk. Asparagus takes the place of new peas In taste and Is a sovereign remedy for latent kidney troubles of every kind.

There Is very little excuse for having currant. gooseberry and other berry bushes In the garden on a farm, dive them a plat by themselves and work every foot of the garden plat to vegetables. In a village garden the owners must often put up with the Inconvenience of growing berries and vegetables on the same lltle plat. good time to kill weeds is the day before you them.
