The Mexia Democrat wants Hon.
Ab. Prendergast, of Waco, returned
to the state legislature as fotorial
representative for Limestone, Free
stone, Falls and McLennan counties.
In this connection the News might
add, it would second the motion if
Alb. hadn't loaded his hat too heavily
with anti-Dew~county bricks. Such
being the case, the friends OF the new
county, in those COMMITTEES, will see that
Alb. is not returned. Those who can't
support "a democratic measure" and

OLD RAILROAD SCHEMES.
How Our Forefathers Thought to CO
From Boston to the Hudson.

How Our Forefathers Thought to Get
From Boston to the Hudson.
There is an interest just now in re-
counting the efforts that have been
made at different times to build great
through line from Boston to the West.
Back rs early as 1926. when thy Erie
canal was about to open new line of
travel and commerce between the Hud-
son and the lakes, Massachusetts was
striving to open line of communica-
ton from Boston harbor to the Hudson
river
In 1926, in compliance with resolve
of the Legislature, Loammi Baldwin
made preliminary survey for a canal
from Boston to the Hudson, and one of
the routes by which he made survey
was almost identical with the present
line of the Fitchburg railroad, and he
suggested tunnel for the canal
through the Hoosac mountain from the
Deerfield river to North Adams. An
other survey was made farther south
between Boston and Springfield. The
opening of the railroad from the Quincy
granite quarries to tide water. dis
lance of about three miles, and the dis
cussion and the opening of short lines
in England. turned public attention in
this State from canals to railroads and
nothing more than tho surveys and the
making of reports came of the project
OF building a canal from Boston to the
Hudson; but in 1927 and in 1928 James
+. Baldwin who is said to have been
son of Loamimi Baldwin, made sur
vey of a railroad from Boston to the
Connecticut river by two routes One
followed the line of the present Boston l.
Albany railroad, and the other was al
most exactly on the line of the Central
Massachusetts railroad. Its greatest
divergence from the line of the Central
was in the town of Princeton and Hub
bardston, the present road going lit
tie to the south of the survey of 1928
That line struck the Ware river at Hub
bardston and then followed it to Bonds
vile; thence to Belchertown. There
it bore to the left and passed through
CRANKY and South Hadley to the Con-
necticut river at Rock Ferry half mile
below Mount Tom station on the Con-
necticut River railroad, instead of go
ing through Amherst and Hadley.
This line was LOG miles long from Bos-
ton. The exact distance from Boston
to Northampton by the Central is 1904
miles. The survey of 1928 contem,
plated the building of a railroad, the

TEN ORPHAN PIGS.
How They We're Raised Mt the Agricuit-
urni College mt Amherst

1
urni College at Amherst
One of those accidents to which al
breeders Of livestock are liable lately
occurred at the Agricultural College
at Amherst. A superior small York
shire SOW gave birth to twelve pigs,
sucked them for about twelve hours,
and then, from some cause not fully
determined, went out into her yard,
laid down and died almost immediate
ly. One pig had been stepped upon
and killed meantime and another was
so weak and inferior that it was put
out of the way. The other ten we de-
cided to raise. The first proposition
was to feed them from bottle with a
rubber nipple, such as is often used
for orphan lambs. But the labor in
cident to this method was SO apparent
that it was not attempted. We pro-
ceeded, instead, to teach the pigs to
drink as soon as possible. For this
purpose, two boxes were provided,
filled with straw, a blanket thrown
over each box, and the pigs placed in
one Of them. They were then taken
out one at time, and while being
shifted from one to the other box each
was given u spoonful of sweet and
warm cream from cows milk. A
couple of hours later they were again
changed from one box to another, and
fed with a spoon en- route. An Ayr
shire heifer, recently calved, was Sc
lected and kept at the table as n base
of supplies. The new milk was then
taken from the heifer and fed to the
pigs while warm. Then as soon as
the pigs got to expecting food when
shifted from box to box every
three hours, saucer of warm
milk was used. their noses held to this,
and spoon assisted in feeding. But
by care and little patient training.
the ten pigs were taught to drink well
from the saucer within twenty-foul
hours. In less than three days all were
feeding from a little trough. as if six
months old. Another accident reduced
the number to nine. These nine were
fed every four hours for week or so,
and they grew and waxed fat aston
ishingly. Then the feeding was re-
duced to six hours apart, and finally to
eight hours. Soon they became no
more trouble than an equal number of
full-grown swine.
These pigs for time grew faster and
looked better than another lot of about
the same age, sucked by fine dam.
A period then came when, although
too young for much besides milk, they
ceased to thrive on new cows milk.
The facts were such as so lead me to
believe that the milk of the COW is de-
ficent in some particular element Of
the sow's milk. This is subject
which must be closely studied; it is
work suited to the experiment station.
In time this period was passed. the
pigs got old enough to eat grain of
several kinds, and then grew well. AS
these nine pigs, at three months old,
are worth one hundred dollars or more,
we think the trouble well paid for. The
special success was in teaching the
pigs to feed themselves from a dish at
such an early age, thus reducing the
necessary labor = Toronto Globe.

Assert your rights. Remember If you
are mothers, your highest duty is to
your children. You must have time
for them. Don't do all that you think
you ought to do. but just what you are
able to do, leaving little time for

A PREHISTORIC CITY.
Cushman's Discovery OF a Buried ToItes
Town in Arizona.

Town in Arizona.
Frank Cushman, of Zuni fame, has
teen at work in Salt River Valley in
Arizona, about eighty miles northwest
Of Tucson, making explorations, and
has succeeded in unearthing the ruins
1 Of prehistoric city. A fortified tenn
t Pile was discovered, which no doubt was
] originally several stories high, and the
/ foundation was found to be imbcdded
| deep in the earth. The ruins showed
that the building had been built of sun
dried clay. The walls above the found
alton were not intact, but the ground
plan could be traced in every detail.
The architectural work displayed con-
siderable skill. There was number
Of underground vaults found. and
when these were examined, skeletons
were discovered in them. From the
remains unearthed twas evident that
the building had been used as sacred
temple. The city extended in various
directions. Over two hundred burial
vaults have been exhumed. Pottery
was taken out in large quantities,
as well rs stone axes, mortars,
stone pcstles. and bone needles These
articles, according to the description
of the city. are we'll formed. and indi-
cate that the inhabitants were Of more
intelligence than some of the prehis-
toric races. Remains of wheat, barley
and other grains were found in a
eharred condition. Evidences of there
having been canal running through
the city were numerous, and that tho
whole valley was under cultivation.
Mr.. Cushman Is of the opinion that the
city must have had a population OF at
least 10000 people, and that the prin-
cipal pursuits was the cultivation of
the soil. II Is thought that the people
of this buried city suffered from some
great calamity. such rs that which be-
fell Pompeii. The calamity was an
earthquake, no doubt, and thousands
were crushed beneath the falling walls.
Those who escaped moved south, and
il was their descendants whom the
Spaniards found in Mexico. - Demon
