COOKING FOOD For P1c7.

Pigs are the most nearly like a man
as to feeding and digestion of food of
all other animals. That is, they will
do better on cooked food, for this
reason, than other animals. There is
less waste, the foop is cleaner, and it
is better digested. A convenient way is
to set large rustless iron kettle in a
stone fireplace and boil the potatoes
or roots given to them with corn ears
until the whole becomes a stiff mass
when it is cold. This is fed in this
condition, and is all eaten clean, most
of the cobs of the soft corn being
eaten and digested. Soft corn really
fattens better than hard or ripe grain.
Any kind of grain may be fed in this
way without grinding, and the cook
ing costs less than the grinding will.
In feeding all kinds of animals it is to
be taken into account that when the
food is such or in such a con-
dition that the flow of saliva is the
most abundant, the digestion of it is
the most nearly perfect. In fact, the
mouth is the first of the digestive or
gans, and the saliva secreted in it is
the first solvent of the food. So that
the more the food may be masticated
before 1t is swallowed, the more eco
nomical will be the feeding. Fed in
this way, one pound of dry matter
will make pound OF dressed pork. =

pure silver white, without sign Of yell
low or straw color.
The white Dorking is not quite so
large as the other varieties which it is
considered to surpass in symmetry.
Its plumage is pure white and it pos
sesses what is known as ''rose comb"
the others having a somewhat larger
single comb, The cuckoo Dorkings
have peculiar plumage, consisting of
q marking of bars or pencilings of
dark blue gray on q ground of lighter
gray. In size it is slightly larger than
the white, but smaller than the other
varieties.
Dorkings have full, broad breasts,
broad backs, short legs and are rather
short in the neck. They have five
toes on each foot. The male bird in
good condition will weigh twelve
pounds. and the hens nine pounds.
They are fair layers, good mothers,
mature early and grow rapidly. The
great objection is the delicacy of the
young birds, which renders raising
them difficult. The climate, or the
soil, or both, in many parts of the
United States does not seem to agree
with them. This may, however, be
due to too much inbreeding, as fresh
blood is difficult to procure.

where cattle or horses are watered at
such pump, they oftentimes set their
noses into such contact with the spout
that ones pleasure in drawing drink
ing water from the same channel is
lessened, to say the least. Such a
house as is shown in the illustration is
inexpensive, but capable of serving it's
purpose admirably. 1t is just large
enough to enclose the platform of the
pump, and is constructed of matched
boarding, nailed upon light frame,
two-by-two stuff being sufficiently
stout for this purpose. A trough ia
located outside, which keeps the pump,
and the platform Of the pump, en-
tirely out of reach of cattle or horses.

ChristmaS.DaY Thoughts.

Santa Claus is curious old gentle
man. He will not enter a chimney
unless it scots him.
That it is better to give than to re-
ceive is proved by the fact that the
custom of giving at Christmas has OUT
lived the custom OF receiving at flew
Years.
Utility should not always be the
guiding factor in the selection of @
gift. A ton Of coal is always useful,
but hardly appropriate to send to
your best girl.
There are some people who would
be dissatisfied on Christmas morning
if Santa Claus had dropped the eartn
into their stockings the night before.
Fortunately their number must al
ways be limited, because very few peo-
pie wear stockings sufficiently large
TO accommodate SO extensive a pres
ent.

always failed by little to get Clark

always failed by little to get Clark
away.
Once he got him in and they dssve-
| as far as the outskirts of the town,
when Clark turned obstinate and
made him go back.
Finally, long after midnight, when
he went again into the bar, Clark
said he would go with him if Lefty
would take one drink. Hoping to pac-
ify and get him away Lefty finally
took the drink; then, on q similar
plea and promise, another and an
other, till by the time they left they
were about equally intoxicated.
When they came to the first gate
into the Rita Blanca pastures, about
three miles from the ranch house,
Lefty gave the lines to Clark and got
down to open it, the whip unheeded,
in his hand.
But the long drive in the sharp air
had sobered him up enough that he
wondered to see the tall posts on each
side of the gate moving. The next
moment he knew that there was man
behind each post, it being the only
possible cover an assailant could have
found for miles upon that bare, open,
half moonlit plain. The revelation
was like bucket OF ice water dashed
over him, and he gussed instantly
with throb of that anxiety for Clark
which was always with hlm-that
these were some of the Mexicans with
whom the Rita Blanca was having
trouble.
| His mortal fear for Clark's life
swept the befogging fumes out of his
brain.
It was Clark's life they wanted; he
knew that; it was not himself they
were after. He could go forward and
open the gate safely, since they likely
thought him too drunk to notice
them.
But if they knew that the one in the
blackboard was CLARK, they would
Jump upon it and knife him as ht
drove through.
Lefty reeled toward the gate, caught
it and clung to it, shaking in every
limb. The silent watchers behind the
posts might we'll have thought hin
! very drunk indeed.
. Even while his poor spent franz
dropped shuddering against the gate
, his single and undertaking mind raj
+ desperately through every possible
: scheme to save Clark.

Early Celebration Of the Nativity.

Away in the first century there are
Indications that the Nativity was cele-
brated by the early Christians, Though
the date of Christ's birth is only ira
ditional, the 25th of December is be-
lieved to have been appointed in the
fourth century, by Julius T., Bishop
of Rome, as the anniversary of that
event. Previously the Eastern Church
had observed the 9th of January in
special commemoration of the appear.
ance of the Star which guided the
Wise Men to the Saviour's birthplace
in Bethlehem. For while the East
ern Church adhered to this date. in
spite of Julius's edict, though the
Western Church observed the 25th of
December. This had natural ten.
dency to extend the festival over the
time intervening between the two
dates. In the sixth century all Chris
tendon united upon the observance OF
the 25th of December.

sobered, got the wild ponies pulled
down, turned around and drove back
to the gate, there was nothing in sight
on the great, gray. glimmering level
but dark, motionless heap by one Of
the gate posts.
He flung his lines over the post,
went and knelt beside the still body.
Lefty" he whispered, with his
heart in his throat.
There was no answer. He found
the mans shoulders, lifted them, and
Strengthened him Quit was Lefty.
Clark raised him gently, and felt
for the wounds that were soaking his
clothes with blood. Lefty moaned
and opened his eyes.
