had been washed, dried, and folded, and 
common sense pointed to the fact that 
it was ironing day; but cautious Scan¬ 
dinavian Til lie, the new maid, wished to 
make no mistake. Before committing 
herself she said appealingly, “Meesis, I 
skuld like to speak something.” "What 
is it, TillieV” “Skal I cook some flat¬ 
iron V” asked Tillie, earnestly.—Youth's

They farrow large litters offlively, 
active pigs that are seldom crushed 
by the mother. These youngsters 
soon rustle for themselves, making 
rapid gains on inexpensive feeds. 
Berkshires mature early and fatten 
easily at any age. Hardy and vig¬ 
orous, they thrive in all climates.
