Was it the uoor old beef trust or sortie other poor galoot, who fait the lii.sle of radium into the old COW -br 11 to Who brought this epidemic, we call h. c. o. 1., which iiiiikes the sale of porter house like buying an oil well? The dairy cows brings us no boi-f, they've turned to butter fat. And with high cost of liv 5ng, we don't know where we're at. The hogs have wings, the liens are bold, they rest just when they phase. How can a city fellow expect to live at ease? Our health is good, our smiles arc broad, when we have got the dough. Then that contagion strikes us, and we pay our meat bills slow. 'Tis then the little butcher says "nix," and shakes bis head, and our h. c. o. 1. ap pendix feels like a chunk of lead. When this food war will termin ate, no one can now fore-tell. Hut we agree, with Sherman, that it is simply h . "Ah thanks to you old fanner 1 You have led m to the light!" "A rheese-and-craeker income, a T bone appetite." We'll cut it" and h. c. o. I., bacteria v ill spoil. We'll pass the juicy T-bone up imil buy a slice of soil." f v. .. SOCIETY. Mir.

Better suggestions are as follows : A pair of registered pigs. A pair of full-blooded chickens. A fine colt. A registered calf. An up-to-date corn planter. A t ivo horse wagon. A gold watch. Books on agriculture. A double-barreled shotgun. A tirsi-class bicycle. A ton of good fertilizer. A ?" hat. A tireless cooker (for girl win ners.) More Prizes Make More Con testants Li general, it is better to offer many small prises than a few large ones. If 20 boys try for a prk'.o and only one is fortunate, some of the 10 unsuccessful con testants will probably be too dis couraged to try again. But if 5 of the boys are rewarded for their efforts, more merit will have rec c ed recognition, and '.ho remaining 15 will see more jWsiblt opportunities of success the following year. I.
