GO INTO THE GALLERIES,

People Who Do Not Clint, tho Stairs Ndiss
Many Elmo Exhibits.
Up to the present time it has ap-
peared as if there was some danger that
in the immensely of space that the
sightseer has to cover at the fair the
galleries of the big buildings would be
neglected. Since the crowds have be-
gun to arrive and the attendance has
run up to the hundred Thousand mark,
people have found out that there is
much to be seen above ground, and
have climbed the stairs in search of new
marvels with as much energy as they
have displayed in going from one build,
ing to another.
Still exhibitors in the galleries are in
clined to complain that the masses pass
them by, and ask for better means of
transportation from the floors to the
galleries They suggest signs pointing
out the way and stating what can be
found above. The chief of the trans
portation department has promised his
exhibitors more elevators and the ad-
Gitional attraction of q band on wet
These people who hurry through a
without diverging from the
main avenue on the floor make great
mistake. In the assignment of space it
was impossible to place all the best ex-
hibits in the most prominent parts of
the buildings, and in most of the ex-
hibit halls as much can be seen by tax
ing a side aisle or walking through the
gallery, as in the crush of visitors on
the ruain avenues. Especially is this
true in the Transportation building.

HOG-RA.SING NOTES.
How to Mako the Pork Industry Both
Pleasant and l'roHtaiDlc.

Pleasant and Profitable.
The first item to be considered in
raising hogs for profit is good breeding
stock. Carefully select your sows,
| and well sprung body, heavy hams and
shoulders. legs of medium length with
medium but not coarse bone. and the
other parts as good you can possibly
get them. Then use only thoroughbre
boars who have near as possible all
the good qualities that your so>vs
may lack. You now have the founda-
ton laid for u good crop of easily fatted
pigs.
At narrowing time watch your sows
and prevent as far possible the loss
of any pigs at that critical moment
Feed the SOW very lightly for the first
day or two after narrowing; then feed
abundantly of good mill<-producing
foods such as middlings, oats, milk and
. little corn. If in summer let the sow
have all the grass she wants. If win ter,
some roots should be fed, such as arti-
chokes, pOt:l toes or bcets.
AS soon the pigs begin to cat
feed them some soaked oats, corn or
wheat, and by all means keep them
growing, always remembering that the
pig as we'll as any other animal makes
its growth out of what it gets to eat.
The pigs should have all the grass
they want to eat; clover or blue grass
the best, also a little grain should be is
fed from the time they begin to eat
until you wish to finish them off for
market; then corn is your best and
cheapest fattener Feed literally, reg
ularly all they will eat up clean and,
when they are thoroughly fat, sell.
Keeping hog after it is thoroughly
fat IS nearly always keeping at a loss to
the feeder.
Never try to raise more hogs than
you can raise right Do not rely too
much on the breed; remember that the
blood only gives you the frame and good
feeding qualities in the pig. You must
make the hog.-Jacob w. Smith, in
Farm, Field and Preside.

THE GUARD is woRsTEp.

| Mr.. Trotter Asks Question and II
Brought Up Sharp.
~Can this be love?'
Tenderly gazing down into the limpid
eyes of Agatha Swoggles, whose fluffy
bang rose and fell regularly on her
throbbing temples Vernon Trotter
asked himself this question while he
took a clandestfne hitch at his SUSPEND
ers.
About the couple lay the strange vii
lagos of the Midway Plaisance, simmer
ing in the moonlight. Low songs of night
birds came to their ears in dreamy ca
dences, mellowed by distance and the
warm night wind which greatly stirred
the leaves above their heads. Happy
in sweet soul communion, Agatha and
Vernon gave no thought to their en-
vironments nor to the depressing fact
wheat cakes and bad Sixty-third street
coffee 1ong-drawn sigh was the
only answer from the girl to the MUIR
INJURED query of her idol.
Words could not express the sweet
restfulness which OVERLOOKED her heart
head into his shirt front. No word es-
capped her lips and for some moments
the youth Razed at her with eyes in
which the love lights shone, straining
his ears to catch sound. But his ears
stood the strain and returned to their
normal position, for the girl spoke not.
An awful fear beset the heart of Yer
non. causing him to start and gasp,
while he clasped still closer to him the
beloved burden within his arms. Could
it be, he thought that he had been mis-
taken? No, that could not be, for he
was a Columbian guard. Why, then,
this silence which echoed across TIE
Plaisance and died away into the sum-
mer night? Again the youth leaned
down close to her face-so close that
her face-powder made delicate tracery
upon his ear. Gazing into her eyes, he
said again: ''Can this be love?''
At this the young girl started. A
CLEAN shot into her eyes, lighting up
the darkness for eleven feet around
and she said: well, it seems to that if
had been monkeying around as long
rs you have I'd know whether it was or
not, without asking any foolish ques-

to get through that marvellous aRgrega-
ton of wonders on schedule time. It's
attractions are all too potent for the
strength of their resolutions and they
linger in spite of themselves amidst the
destinations of the Kaleidoscope thor
oughfare.
In this connection it might be we'll to
impart a little advice, which is con-
tanned in the words of an honest old
lady from the back districts, who.
when her flial spouse was departing
for a day at the fair said: ''Now, Hiram
you'd better leave what money you
don't need with me-" AS the story has
it Hiram left the bulk of his cash with
mother" and he was sorry for it when
he struck Midway Plaisance.

HAYSTACk PLATFORM.

Almost Indispensable for Proper Topl,ins
of a Stack.
When hay or fodder is stacked out of
doors the pitching up of the last two
loads is attended with extremely heavy
straining work by the man on the load.
From this cause stacks are too often
topped out and called finished before
they are high enough to properly shed
rain. The accompanying engraving
from a sketch by L. d. Shook shows a
temporary platform which will aid in
overcoming these difficulties. When
the stack has reached the height to
which man can conveniently pitch
from the bottom of the load, two
smooth poles are laid parallel crosswise
across the top of stack, one end left

TO MAKE HENS LAY.

A Few Simple Rules for Getting and Eeep-
ing Eggs.
1t is one thing to keep eggs, but it is
much harder to get them.
At least SO it used to seem to me till I
learned the secret. 1t is easy enough
to make hens lay, once you know how.
Here is the rule. A little soft food, hot
for breakfast, as early as you can get
about it, for hens arc early risers and
want their breakfast the first thing.
For dinner. wheat, barley, oats or
buckwheat. Scatter where they may
scramble for it, and if thsy have to
scratch half the afternoon to make
sure that they have not overlooked a
single kernel. SO much the better. And
a dash of corn. hot in cold weather, to
go to roost on. They should not be
ways near.
If they can run at large in the sum-
mer, they will eat grass and get exer-
else while scratching for worms.
In winter, chop them all the cabbage
and onion refuse, apple cores and even
bits of potatoes. In fact, any green
thing and dash of cayenne pepper in
the morning feed will stimulate laying.
Plenty of dust for baths, pounded
bones for shell making and a dust of
sulphur in the nests will make the hens
comfortable and insure eggs.
Now, having them, they are not hard
to preserve. Bring them in fresh, set
in salt, small end down, fill the box,
fasten the cover tight and turn the box
over, once in a week or SO.
Keep the boxes in a cool dry place
The secret of this is, that an egg will
keep if the temperature is cool, and
the continual turning keeps the yolk
where 1t ought to be.--Homc.

TO KILL PARASITES,

How One Farmer Rids His Stock Lice

To kill ticks on sheep buy a ball of
snuff or enough to go over all the sheep

snuff on the skin in places three or four
inches apart, and close the wool. put
more of the snuff around the neck be-

A Pardonable Onense.

When Columbian guards do wrong
they have to write a full explanation
of their wrong doing on a fornliel:,b BILE
paper bearing printed questions that
are designed to extort the truth from
the erring Columbian. When one of
them sat down while on duty one
dreary night recently he was discov-
cred in his heinous offense and was duly
given the printed blank and ordered to
tell his shame in ink. The questions to
be answered read:
''What was the nature of the Of
fense?"
The guard wrote:
''Settin' down.
''What was the cause?''
''Tired,'' wrote the culprit.
'Have you any explanation to oher?''
said the merciless blank.
''Hevvy body, small feat" was the
triumphant answer.

least of it.

Tho Algerian Call to dinner.

The Javanese people at the worlds
fair call the whole Javanese village tc
dinner by beating a tin fish with a big
mallet. But the Assyrians have a
queerer way than this. It does not
look so odd, but it sounds funnicr.
When it is time for the Assyrian din
ner, and we shall hear some day what
queer dinner it is. the cooks as
sistant takes a long pipe which looks
like a flute and blows upon
it. The pipe has several different
sounds or notes which are the most
mournful of any that you can imagine,
and they are also what we would call
sadly out of tune. The trumpeter
blows as hard as he can upon the pipe,
making all the different notes as quick
ly as he can, and then winding up on
one long, sad one. It sounds very dron
to call people to dinner to such mourn
fnl music
