Overfeeding is fatal injury to pigs,
especially young ones The result is
that the pigs breathe with difficulty and
stagger about gasping for breath, then
fall oyer in convulsions and die. Some
times these attacks pass off and the
pigs recover, but they increase in in
tensity and finally kill the pigs The
trouble is prevented by avoiding exces-
sive feeding, especially of sour food. 1t
is difficult to cure. The best remedy is
TO stop feeding altogether, giving only
a little thin slop for drink until the
stomach RECEIVERS its healthful action.
The best floor for pig pens is one of
plank 1t is dry, and may be easily
kept clean. Rural World.

This trouble is hardly to be avoided
when the mixer vets the teats during
milking. The wetting and subsequent
drying will certainly cause cracks in
the skin, and once these happen it is
difficult to heal the wounds while the
COW is giving milk, as at every milking
the cracks are broken open and thus
the trouble is made worse. The best
remedy is to apply pure vaseline to the
teats and soften the skin and the
wounds, and milk with great care.
After the milking the vaseline is again
applied. and il needed surgical rubber
plaster should be wrapped around the
teats. by gentle handling the wounds
may be healed in few days.

ondary Importance. If kept dry our
common clay makes an ideal road. 1t
is chosen for race courses because of
its excellent qualities. No one ever
heard of trying the extreme speed Of
horses on macadam, asphalt or granite
pavement The less of these the bet
ter for our country roads, provided
they could be kept dry.
Above every other consideration is
the road bed itself. Itshould be under
drained SO that the water cannot ac-
cumulate or remain underneath. The
inequalities in the surface, depressions
and mud holes, are usually caused by
water sDftening the road bed. In the
spring the frost heaves and disin-
tegrates the road, because the earth
below has been soaked with water.
With thorough underdrainage frost
would not disturb the road. There
should be sufficient crown to the road
to carry the water at once to the
bitches. Better still, the tiles for un-
derdraipage may be laid below the bot
tom of the bitches. with intakes at
proper distances and u free discharge
at the first natural water course In
this way our roads would be thorough
ly drained. and the water would run
off without washing the road sides.
The bitches might be made shallow, sc
that there would be no ''upset" by
vehicles getting out of the road.
The custom of using gravel and stone
of all sizes except the right size, de.
feats the purpose for which covering
is intended No gravel as large as a
hens egg should ever be put on a road.
1t should be screened and, If the larger
stones are used. they should be crushed.
No stone should be used larger than
two inches in its largest measurement.
Large gravel stones will never pack
They work to the surface, make the
road dangerous to horses. and help tc
destroy the surface The same rale
applies to broken stone.
Macadam's rule: IF you put stone
on the road that You can't put into
your mouth, l won't pay you shil
ling" is still sound.
The small stones form q compact
solid mass. If laid upon a well-made
foundation, they will wear as long as
the solid stone.
1t is not at all necessary to use 6
great thickness of road metal. Thou
sands of miles of the best country
roads, lasting indefinitely, have beer
made with but three, four and five inches
of macadhm. But the foundation was
properly constructed smooth comp act
and we'll drained.
Indeed, the road 10 the better for {
lighter coating of read metal, because
it will then retain some of the elias
ticity of the underlying clay, SO desir
able for horses and vehicles.
If proper attention We're given to thu
drainage and construction of roadbed
much less metal would be required
and very little expense for repair
would be required. Our roads woult
be smooth, durable and elastic. Th'

A PLEASING INCIDENT.
The Conductor Did What Was Not Ell

The Conductor Did What Was Not Ex.
pected of Him.
Up in the front was printed sign
which said no newsboys would be al
lowed to come on the car to sell papers.
If they wanted to do business with IL
citizen they must waylay him before he
takes his seat.
Now, it happens that a man is not al
ways ready to buy his paper until he is
settled, and knows he is on the right
car, and that he has small change, and
that all the chances for a comfortable
progress home have been seized. So he
doesn't like to stop out at the gutter
and buy his paper. And, obedient to
that demand, the newsboys have been
taking one little liberty after another
until they come right into the cars and
sell without let OF hindrance.
This was an open car and the man
and woman were in terrible hurry,
for they knew the car would go before
they were ready. 1t didn't do anything
of the kind. 1t waited till they were
seated, till the man had signalied u
newsboy and till the little fellow was
standing there on the rail. 1t started
Just as he had completed q sale. Then
it was discovered he was such an eX-
ceedingly small boy that he couldn' t
get down with any degree of safety.
No one wanted to get on or off at the
next crossing, and the little fellow was
being carried far out of the reach OF
trade winds. He wanted to get down
and he dared not. The passengers
laughed at him. He glowercd and tried
to risk the descent But the pace was
too swift. He knew he would fall. The
man who had bought the paper pushed
him little just to scare him. The wo-
man laughed at her husbands wit. The
comfortable passengers enjoyed almost
niclsel's worth of comedy-that was
mighty near tragedy to him.
No one expected anything human
from the conductor So he surprised
them. He swung down on the fool
rail, advanced to the troubled little
figure, stopped down, and passed his
arm about the baby waist, lifted the
lad and stepped from the car. He de-
posted his thankful burden safely on
the ground. whirled and caught the
last rail of the cur and called out
"Harrison--Po street depot" just SIS
if nothing had happened,
And all the passengers were sorry
they had laughed. Chicago Herald.

InternaI Temperature Of Trees.

The internal temperature of trees has
been observed for some time past by NJ.
lrinz, of uccle. in Belgium, who finds
their mean annual temperature at the
heart of the trunk the same as that of

of the trees sometimes differs from the
latter by two OF three degrees cent?

in question may be Ms much us ten de-
