"KEEPING TAB" ON THE PIGS.
Ii You Have Not Thought of This Try 1t

Ii You Have Not Thought of This Try 1t
1t VIII Pay.
To keep history or private record of
each litter of pigs and of every pig in
the litter is not the difficult task it may
at first thought seem to be. A good
way is to devote to each litter page in
the small pass-book mentioned in a
former article.
For convenience afterward, in num-
bering and remembering the ages of the
pigs, it is well to book the filters each
year in the order in which they come;
numbering the litters consecutively. A
few weeks later, when the pigs must be
marked. to each of them should be given
the ear-mark or number of its litter;
that is, all the pigs of any one litter
should have the same mark or number.
Head the page selected for the first
litter with the name of the SOW. On
the next line write the date of farrow.
the word by, and following it. on the
same line, the name of the sire. Head
the left hand, or date column, with
what are understood to be pair of ears,
on which the ear marks are to be noted.
The balance of the page below is for use
bling or making notes regarding
the pigs As soon as they are old enough
to show what they are likely to make.
and to have that individuality about
them so we'll understood by any one who
has any love or taste for watching the
development of young growing animals.
it is time to note down the number there
are of each sex.
Surprising for convenience of illustra-
tratien, there are only five pigs in litter
No. three bears and two sows. On
tho f4rOf line nndor in fha
date column, place B for boar, and on
every alternate line B until three are
placed
Then continue down the column plac-
ing S two times for sows. This will
give two lines TO each pig for brief de-
scriptions or notes If there is any fear
that the headings on the page may not
be understood, they may Be made
palmer by using more words, and may
read thus: Hood, Sallie. farrowed on
the It'll of May, 1888; pigs sired by Bob
Hood"
There is an old saying about a place
for every thing and every thing in its
place. This applies as we'll in the
matter of raising good pigs as it does in
az other business. The place is here
provided for noting down whatever we
like regarding the pigs The next
duty is to get the notes These in
some cases may be brief descriptions
filed in from day to day as We move
around among the pigs and see in them,
perhaps only one or two at a time,
enough to distinguish them from others
in the herd. Later on, when a pig Is
sold, the name of the buyer is written
diagonally across the space allotted to
that pig, although the space may al
ready have been written full with other
data So also with the others as they
are disposed of.-Breeder's Gazette

Anotl,er Artesian wen.

Huron, s. d., April 22nd-A tremen-
dous flow OF water was struck to-day by
workmen engaged in boring an artesian
well on the Day-Harrison farm, a mile
and o half southeast of this city. When
a depth of 815 feet was reached the drill
suddenly went down and Immediately
both waste pipes, one three-inch and the
other four-inch, sent forth solid streams
of water from eighteen to twenty feet in
tho air. The force was great that every
thing was deluged before the stream
could be checked. Finally, drilling was
resumed and the flow and pressure in
creased. The well is now 1925 feet deep.
It was sunk for the purpose of irriga.ing
the farm. which is now being put into
shape for that purpose by a large force of
workmen, who find difficulty in keeping
the water from flooding them before be-
ing ready. Messrs., Day & Harrison will
give irrigation by means of artesian wells
a practical test on this farm. The prese-
ent flow is sufficient to irrigate at least
a thousand acres. The wateris clear and
warm. Hundreds OF people have visited
thelwell to-day. The contractor, E. Rob.
bins, as well as the owners Of the farm
are delighted over the magnificent

HOW to Use Lamps.

The state board of health OF Iowa has
recently issued a circular Of instructions
to consumers Of kerosene. The following
hints on the proper use and care OF lamps
is Of general interest:
Lamps are becoming fashionable.
They are becoming fashionable. Thous-
ands are purchased more for ornament
than use and with no regard for utility.
Many Of them are worthless for illumin-
ating purposes.
They should be of metal, and have no
feeding place except the opening for the
wick tube. The bowl should be large in
diameter and shallow, not exceeding two
and one-half inches in depth, so as to
bring the flame as near the oil as pos
sible, to secure an even combustion of all
the contents. With deep lamps the wick
will fail to raise the oil when half con-
sumed. Crusted tube. oyer-heated
burner, and deficient illumination is the
| result.
The base should be largo and heavy to
prevent oy%erturning.
They should be cleaned and filled every
day, and once a week emptied of their
contents, to remove the dregs and sedi-
ment.
When oil has been kept for forty-eight
hours in a half-filled lamp q dangerous
Eapor forms. This will be relieved by
the process OF filling the lamp.
Never remove the top mol refill a lamp
when burning.
Before lighting turn the wick down
even with the tube and raiseit gradually
Never blow down the chimney to e1
tinguish a light. Turn the wick dowr
until the nrme fiickers, then give q qulcl
puff of breath, horizontally across the tol
of the chimney.
During the day keep the lamp wher'
lie oil will not become warm. Never sc
it on a mantle over a fireplace, CRATE o.
stove where there is a fire.
Never leave a lamp burning with tn
wick turned down. AT ~

No man is under any obligation to patron

Chamberlain Register:-Not having
gone to press with a complimentary ar
ticle on last nights entertainment writ
ten up in advance and being somewhat
late with this issue, we cannot do justice
to Kimball friends who so elegantly
entertained an %0pera-house full of Cham
berlain people last evening. But to en-
body much In little, we unhesitatingly
say that the play was simply immense
and by far the best entertainment we
have witnessed for q year or more. It
was greatly regretted that an alarm Of
fire interrupted, but a cause of congratu-
lation that no stampede was made which,
with such a crowd, would have resulted
in injuries and probably death to many.
The troupe deserves great credit for being
able to proceed with the play so soon.
The people of Chamberlain will be ready
with a hearty welcome and give a full
house to kimball talent should they
favor us again.
