WHEAT FOR HOGS.
IN Old Question Bobs Up for Discussion
Once More.

an Old Question Bobs Up for Discussion
Once More.
We are asked if we consider wheat
to be a good food for horses and hogs,
and in what proportions to oats and
corn it should be fed. Wheat is ap-
pareutIy god food for animals. if the
object is to furnish a muscle and bone
forming food. There is no grain that
furnishes better balanced food. As
we usually treat it for human consump-
ton we destroy the balance. We throw
away the flesh and bone-forming ele-
lnents and consume the fat-forming.
Of late years they make, or pretend tc
make, flour out of the whole grain.
We do not know how near they actual
~ come to doing this. We have some.
times had dou bts about what wal
represented as whole wheat -four be
ing such. But such -four would be the
best food that human being coule
eat. And animals that are not in proc
ess of fattening require about the
same food that human beings do. There
is less percentage of actual fat II
W heat than there is in oats. Still we
are accustomed to say that oats are
upon the whole the best food for
horses, and that is true. There is
compa ctness about wheat that there i:
not about oats. which possess the dis
tinguishing characteristic of furnishing
to some extent what we call bulk
Horses will, at least in the long run, dc
better upon oats than they will upoI
wheat, because an equal amount of the
principal nutritious part of the oat:
goes into the stomach in better shape
to be handled by the digestive ma
chinery. Some of both grains, too. may
escape thorough mastication. and in that
case the oats are more easily acted upon
by the gastric juices than wheat would
be.
But looking at its composition only.
wheat is a good food for horses, which
require bone and muscle forming food
principally, and a little, though COM
paratively little, of the fat forming. As
to feeding wheat to hogs it would de-
pend on what was being done with the
hogs. If they are being fattened, corn
would be much better. If they were
growing hogs wheat would be better

DR. r. W. St Clair, of Fort Wayne,
Ind. tells how. a few years since, he
was riding on an engine and caught a
cinder in his eye that caused the most
excruc;ating pain He says that he nat
urally began to rub the afflicted organ,
when the engineer called out: Let
that eye alone and rub the other one. y
The doctor looked incredulously at his
adviser. but the latter only continued:
~ know you doctors think you know 1T
all, but if You will let that eye alone
and rub the other one the cinder will be
out in two minutes" The doctor says
that he began to rub the well eye Wig
orously, and soon felt the cinder move
down to the inner corner. He was pre-
pairing to take it out by the aid OF
small mirror when the engineer again
admonished him to keep rubbing the
we'll eye,n which he did for a minute
longer, and then found that the cinder
had slipped down onto his cheek.-St

In the Course of Ages It's Waters VIII
Disappear.
Another essential cause of increase of
dry land that might be added is the de-
crease of the ocean itself in conse-
qucnce OF infiltrations of water through
the crust of the earth. which is a kind
of porous mass. into which the liquid
element percolates by innumerable fis-
sures. taking possession of the depths
and directing itself slowly toward the
center. as the internal fire dirninishes
and the crusts crack open in conse-
quence. It is understood that the
activity of volcanoes and many earth
qualses is largely due TO this inevita BILE
penetration of the water. which inter
nal heat transforms into vapor under
pressure. Some biologists think that
the primitive ocean has already dimin-
ished in this way one-fiftieth of its vol
ume.
The water is all destined to disap-
pear from the surface of the globe by
being absorbed by the subterranean
rocks. with which IL will form chemi-
cal combinations. The heavenly
spheres exhibit sufficiently striking
examples OF such an evolution. The
planet Mars shows what will become
of the earth IN some thousands of CEN
turtles Its seas are ONLY shallow Medi-
terraneans of less surface than the con-
tinents. and these Go not appear to be
very high: and in the appearance Of the

earth-for the absorption of the water

that of the atmosphere.-Popula Sci

Mr. Bradley has seen one or two cuts
of corn cribs, and, as he expressed it, is
satisfied that his own is superior IN
excellence and utility to any OF them.
His corn crib has a width of % feet and
a length of - feet. with a depth of IL

Large Vatican Hats.

The Vatican hat by Caroline Reboux
has the new dropped brim, slightly
curved in front and on the sides. and
of even length all around. When i'm
ported it consists merely of this brim
without crown. The milliner fills up
the open space in the center by mass
of roses. orchids, sweet-pease or violets
with their foliage, and adds bow of
satin ribbon, which appears to tie them
all together. A chou of the ribbon
is on either side under the brim, and
narrow velvet strings come from the
back. This is charming when made of
green straw with the brim lined with
black chip. The center is heaped with
pink roses and much foliage, tied ap-
parently with bow OF black satin rib
bon with upturned ends. Rosettes of
this ribbon are on each side. and mar

back. Such hats will be worn in the

TIDY UP THE FARM.
Work That Requires But Little Time an
Pays Well.

Work That Requires But Little Tine aud
Pays Well.
In travelling through the country,
when a tidy-looking farm is passed.
with fences in good order, buildings
looking neat and trim, trees trimmed
and clean, we know the resident is a
person who takes pride and interest in
his farming, and that it pays him to do
it. 1t takes but a few days each year
to keep the brush cut away from the
fences. to nail up board here and
there that may have become 1oosened,
to keep the fences up straight, with no
weak places to tempt stock to press
through into the owners or neighbors'
fields Of grain or grass, to put the i'm
plements under shelter when not in use,
to pick up boards lying about the barn
and house, to trim the fruit trees and
cut out all dead or dying branches, to
NOW the lawn at least once each year,
to arrange all gates SO that they will
freely swing on their hinges, to have
welf-kept garden, a good supply of
small fruit, the pump in good working
order, good supply of dry wood under
shelter. to keep the roadsides moved
and bushes cut down, to keep the out
let of expensive underdrains open, to
clean out all open bitches. to look after
the stock frequently. ALI these things
take but a little time. and they increase
the cash value OF the farm. If you
have, in the past, neglected these
things, resolve that you will reform,
and that strangers, in passing your
door, may at least mentally say: "A
good farmer resides there!'' Possibly
it will not allow as many leisure hours
at the corner grocery, but others will
take your place there, and you are add
ing to the worth of your earthly posses-
sions. and to your standing as man.
