the dwarf tribes inhabiting the Ar.

This pipe recalls the bowl made from
a potato and the stem made out OF a

been driven. which was employed by
many American soldiers during the

Breeding and Feeding swine.

II we had no corn. aud never had
had any. and II we had not bred our
swine in and In so much. we should
have less swine disease and better
hogs generally. We may talk all we
choose about the excellence OF corn
for fatteniug purposes and brag of its
comparative cheapness-as a usual
thing-for feeding swine but the
truth is that the reckless feeding OF
corn has cost the farmers OF this
country an incaiculable sum OF money
In the aggregate. And with this
corn we have been making pork
which nobody likes as we'll as they
would like pork made wholly or
almost wholly OF the bone and muscle
forming foods Our swine are weak
in constitution; they are an easy
prey to disease and as we have
frequently remarked this sort OF
feeding has been going on so long
that even II farmer does feed pro-
perly It will require several genera
tions to get the results OF improper
feeding OF his original stock by some.
body else out OF his hogs
But there Is another fertile source
OF trouble among our swine and that
is in-and-in- breeding. Almost every
week there comes to our veterinary
department descriptions OF disease
which we know Is attributable TO too
close in-breeding. Indeed almost any
disease tho hog is subject TO is likely
TO be encouraged by that system OF
breeding. And yet we never write
on this subject that we do not deem It
wise TO say that II both parents are
without fault or blemish. there is no
harm In in-breeding. The wild

faces.
A little troop OF soldiers standing in
front OF the barracks suddenly had
their attention attracted by a little
cloud OF dust rising out on the plain
to the northeast.

scores for the stables where they
mounted their horses and dashed
across the plain.

upon one horse closely pressed by tho
pursuing Comanches and with cries
OF vengeance on the savages they
urged their horses down tho dusty
plain.
But as they drew near the advanc-

smoke rise from the savages' ranks
followed by faint sound OF firearms
Then the horse in advance OF them
went down with its two riders and
the Comanches quickly closed about
them.

discovered the approaching troops
