Getting n Drink.

Il was in Dakota myself" remarked
a passenger, land l saw how easily
some of these tramps make living,
for / suppose they call it living when
they get drink of whisky and some.
thing to eat thrown in. The trampa
were thick and had been for some time.
They would hang around a small town
and bother the people almost to death.
1t is really dangerous to have so many
of these vagabonds about. But they
won't work, they tell me, and the re.
suit is that it is pretty difficult to get
rid of them.
"Up in little town-the namo I can't
recail-I happened to be waiting from
one train until another. There was
nothing to do, so l went into saloon
to get some beer. While there drink
ing three of these tramps came in and
odered three drinks of whisky.
Have you got any stutf?' said the
saloon keeper.
Course, replied one of the thirsty
trio, ives playing the "crow" act,
we is
'WhereY asked the man behind the
bar.
"The spokesman named the farm Mt
which he was employed, showed an
order, and the three men got their
drinks and departed. When they went
out l asked what was meant by the
Grow act when he told me that some
of the farmers got the tramps to take
the part of the scarecrow in the wheat
fields and keep the birds away. The
tramps took turns, he said, in standing
up on a platform high above the wheat
and occasionally throwing rock at a
flock of birds. AS there was no work
about it the tramps took it. 1t paid
them very little, usually two or three
drinks and bite to eat, but even this
they considered living, as long as they
did not have to work for it."-St. Pau

THERE was once Texas settlement
that, by some peculiar freak of nomen-
clature, came to be called Bullhead.
A pompous but thick-headed citizen
wanted to have the name changed, and
at called meeting he modestly pro-
posed to affix his own name to the
place. "That wouldn't be any change"
said the blunt man of the town where
at everybody laughed, and the old
name remained.

Only perfectly harmless lunatics are

The rivalry between New Hampshire
and Vermont is unusually strong along
the banks of the Connecticut River.
The feeling on one side is that New
Hampshire is great State, not so
large as Texas, to be surs, but Rhode
Island is smaller; not so easy and level
to till as Illinois, it is acknowledged,
but its scenery is considered far grand
er. Across the stream one learns that
the only possible reason that can be
urged for allowing the Granite State to
remain in the Union is that one can get
good view of Vermont from some
parts of it.

PROBABLY the largest literary prize
ever offered is one of 81, 900, 900, to be
given in 1925 by the Russian National
Academy for the best work on the life
and reign of Alexander I. In 1925,
shortly after the death of Alexander l.,
the sum of $4,000 rubles Was offered
by one of his favorite Ministers, to be
given as a prize century after his
death, and it is this sum, at compound
interest, which will amount in 1925 10
100000.

riders body. The bit is an instrument

on education and labor, has submitted
a proposition which provides that from
and after the year 1900 the manufac-
ture and sale and importation of dis
titled alcoholic intoxicating liquors, ex-
cept for medicinal, mechanical, chemi-
cal, and scientific purposes, and for use
in the arts. shall cease. Although the
chances of this provision ever becom-

MRS. JOHN SHERWOOD, in describing
the gambling at Aix-les- Bains, says
"The play is baccarat, and runs high.
Every evening poor crippled men and
women are brought in in chairs, or by
Their guides, nurses, or maids, and
seated at the tables, where they play
until they are tired, then ere trundled
mt. There are many gamblers who
're not crippled, young ana beautiful
women, young men of every grade; and
Nine. Ratazzi, neither young nor Grip
9led, but still pretty, although in her
ifty-eighth year, and married to q
Foung man, a woman of remarkable
celebrity, or infamy, as the case may

THERE has of late years appeared in
Pennsylvania and Maryland, and later
in Kansas and Missouri, says Professor
Riley, an insect in many respects like
the true army worm, but which has
SHOWN peculiar tendency to feed upon
the heads of wheat and other small
grains. When nearly Matched this diff.
fers from the true army worm by its
black head, and later by having five
instead of seven pale lines and six in.
stead of eight dark ones. The habit Of
feeding upon the grain becomes fixed
only when the worms are half grown,
as before that they attack the leaves,
grass, etc. Several parasitic insects
lessen its numbers, and it has been
suggested that the worms could be
greatly diminished by setting traps to
attract the moths by means of lights tc
poisoned sweet liquids,

Fattening Swine.

Swine should be pushed forward
now in mild weather as fast as possible
as they will gain much more rapidly
on the same quantity Of food than in
freezing weather. During the fatten-
ing process it has been found highly
beneficial to feed moderate quantity
of pumpkins, for when this is done
they assist the digestion of the grain
or meal given the swine and enables
them to more perfectly and economi-
cally turn it into flesh, thus saving a
considerable percentage in the con-
sumption of food. Pumpkins, or, what
are richer and better, winter squashes,
ought to be grown especially for this
purpose by all swine keepers. Aside
from the this, they are excellent for
the store stock, as they will do we'll if
fed alone on these-that is, provided
they are OF good, quiet breed.
When pumpkins are not on hand, a
few roots may be given raw, of which
beets and carrots are better than pota-
toes, rutabagas, or common turnips.
The last are very poor feed for this
purpose, better for cattle. Grass, and
especially clover, is an excellent sub
stltute for roots, SO long as it remains
green and growing in autumn, but
wut when turned out to this, the swine
ought to have warm shed, into
which they can come when fed and to
protect themselves from dew and frost
during the night, and we'll as from
storms.
To make superior hams and bacon,
corn should be mixed with oats or bar
ley, or perhaps rye might answer,
at the rate Of one half to third Of
the latter to the former, and ground
thus together. Such feed increases
the proportion of tender, juicy lean
streaking the fat. which is essential to
produce fine quality of hams and
bacon. Ii fat pork for sailing and
barreling alone is wanted, then pure
corn whole or ground into coarse meal
is the best feed Joined with some
pumpkin or roots, barley or rye, as
recommended above.
Canadians occasionally substitute
barley for corn, as do the English and
Scotch also. Formerly, before our
corn was imported into Great Britain,
the farmers there fattened their swine
almost entirely on barley, and their
hams and bacon, in consequence of
this, were quite nice, especially when
made from the Berkshire breed. When
not running on grass lot, give the
swine few Jumps Of charcoal or
chunks of rotten wood to gnaw. 1t is
said that the former is preventative
OF cholera, being an antiseptic, but
whether so or not, both of the above
are very healthful.
