Pork Pointers.

Extra heavy pork is nearly always
costly pork.
Scalded bran and corn meal Is o
good feed for pigs.
Growing hogs require considcra-

In fattening pigs it is quito an item
to make them eat all that they will.
Plenty of bedding in good season
will often help materially in saving
a litter OF pigs.
A liberal allowance OF bulky food
is very necessary with all kinds OF
growing stock.
There are few farm animals that
pay better proportionate profit than
good brood SOW.
The incessant drain on SOW that
is sucking litter of pigs sharpens
her appetite amazingly, and she will
need liberal feeding.

One advantage with hogs is that
they give returns in 30 short time.
that even II only small profit Is

Brood sows require ration that is
rich in the elements OF bone and
muscle. The objection to some is
that it tends to cause an excess Of fat.

The Biggest Thing of the War.

In early days of war, in 1861, it was
the custom to put the cooking for each
company in charge of two men who
acted as company cooks. Each man
served for two weeks A man served
as junior cook for two weeks and then
a new man was appointed. and the
man who had served a week became
chief cook for the next week, and SO
each one served one week as junior and
one as senior. / had served my time
as junior cook, and had been promoted
TO chief cook. We had log fire,
much like the old fashioned maple

give the BOYS some rice for dinner. |

Germany,s Military Arm.

The Freisinnige, commenting upon
recent army legislation, says there ara
officers of the German army who go so
far as to demand that Germany shall
be able to place in the field force
equal to combined armies of France
and Russia. In other words, a popula-
ton of 80, 900, 900 must turn out as many
soldiers as n population of $50, 200, 900.
The Freisinnige also says that IL these

prove about as effective as the old men

The Bullet Missed Him.

After The famous old colonial battle
known as "Braddock's Defeat more
than one Indian testified that he aimed
mis- gun directly ut Washington. intend
ing TO kill him; but not bullet touched
him. They all said he bore charmed
life The same strange immunity in
danger has been the experience of
other men who afterward made a figure
in the world.
In the first year of the Civil War,
when the Confederate Gen. Floyd and
the Union Gen. Cox were facing each
other with their troops on opposite sides
of the Gauley River in West Virginia.
Georgia officer heard bugle-blast
one morning near Hawks Nest Bluff,
and saw an Ohio Colonel ride out at the
head of his regiment.
The distance was great for small
arms practice, but the Southcrner was
sharp-shooter. and borrowing u long
range rifle from one of his men, he
took careful aim across the river at the
ColonePs head.
The bullet sped on it's way, and the
marksman saw one of the plumes fall
from the Colonels hat OF course the
colonel took warning and retreated
from the river-bank at once.
The man who fired the almost deadly
shot was Colonel, afterward General,
William Phillips. Thirteen years after
the close OF the war General Phillips,
while in Washington, was introduced
TO the President of the United States,
who had been soldier. The two men
conversed freely about the war and re-
lated incidents of their experience in
the field.
At the mention of the shot fired at
the Ohio Colonel near the Hawks
Nest the President became intesely
interested and inquired for full par
ticulars. The horseman who stood as
target for the Georgia Colonel's rifle
in 1861 at the Gauley River and the
President of the United States in 1873

Effect of Lightning on the Body.

In describing the recent death of a
boy by lightning dispatch stated that
an accurate picture Of trees and foliage
in the vicinity of the accident was made
on the boys body, which phenomenon
was supposed to have been produced by
the lightning in a manner similar to
that of making pictures or photography.
This, however, is not correct. While
such marks are observable occasionally
on the bodies of persons killed they bear
no relation whatever to foliage of sur
rounding trees, although they bear a GER
tain resemblance to those objects. There
is really no photographing of the image
of the trees on the body. That the &C
tual cause is quite different can be proved
by experiment in the laboratory. When
electricity is discharged at high tension,
as lightning is, on the surface of body
having poor conducting power, q lu-
minous arborescent image is formed,
showing the path Of one or more of the
sparks resulting from the discharge.
This was most beautifully shown in
the experiments carried out with high
tension currents in London by Swim
burne. The current would exhibit scat
tered lines of light that would develop
into most exquisite tracery and take the
form of plants or trees. The theory Of
this phenomenon is that the irregular
courses taken by the spark may be due
to the compression of air in the path of
the discharge, or to superior conductiv-
ity of some parts of the surface of the
body.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

This wonderful little machine is the re-
sult.of hundreds of years Of study and
experiment. The watch carried by the
average man IS composed Of 90 pieces.
and its manufacture embraces more than
1000 distinct and separate operations.
Some of the smallest screws are SO
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings or specks
of dirt. Under powerful magnifying
glass a perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is 1000 of an inch
wide. It takes 5000 of these screws
to weigh pound, and pound is worth
1885. The hairspring is strip Of the
finest steel. about 81 inches long and
LOO inch wide and 27-1O.OOO inch thick.
It is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered.
The process Of tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing it and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gagged to 20-1 900 of an
inch, but no measuring instrument has
yet been devised capable of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size of the strip what the strength Of the
finished spring will be. A 1-2O, 1000 part
of an inch difference in thickness of the
strip makes a difference in the running
Of watch IF about six minutes per

The value Of these springs when fin
ished and PLACED in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from which
they are made. A comparison will give
good idea. A ton of steel made up
into hairsprings when in watches is
worth more than 124 times the value of
the same weight in gold. Hairspring
wire weighs 1-2O of a grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
pound. ..
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second. eco every minute, $4,000 ev-
cry hour, $4,000 every day, and 157,-
100000 every year. At each vibration it
rotates about II times, which makes

we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount of labor performed by these
tiny works, let us make a comparison.
Take, for instance, locomotive with
6 foot driving wheels. Let it's wheels
be run until they have given the same
number of revolutions that watch does
in one year, and they will have covered
a distance equal to 2s complete circuits

Ice Cream Poisoning.

year, with mournful reiteration, there
are many reports of fatal cases. The
deaths from this source must immensely
exceed those from hydrophobia, but Pas
