A BIuE-BLoopED PIP

He Returns to His Masters Gate After
Two Weeks Absence.
c. NJ. Coglan, the genial Clerk of the
State Board of Equalization, is the
happy possessor of a three-months-old
pointer pup of the bluest of blue blood,
which cost him a cool $50, and which is
naturally dear to him, and he is very
proud of it,
For two weeks past, however, dark
gloom has hung on the alabaster brow
of Charles, for his blooded pup had
strayed or been stolen. Dark care has
given way to radiant happiness, how
ever, for yesterday when Coglan
stepped out of his gate his long lost dog
rose up to greet him, with a wag of the
tail that showed his pleasure in being
back at home. AS the pup was seen
the day before on the opposite side of
town, nearly two miles away, in COM
pany with a boy. Coglan feels that he
possesses marvellous sagacity and a
stanch nose. He is so firmly convinced
OF this that when he gets a little older
he expects to provide him with a sack
to put the oirds in and start him out to
hunt quail while he himself stays at
home to attend to the duties of the
office.

7OUNDLING Home INVESTIGATION
Or. .RuggIes Says It VIII be Held
Very SoonA
He Wants 1t to be Thorough, and
Says That All Sides Shall
be Heard.

DR.. Ruggles, President Of the State
Board of Health, was in the city yester-
day making preliminary arrangements
for the proposed investigation of the
Founding Home, that duty having
been imposed on him by Governor Budd
and the State Board of Examiners.
DR.. Ruggles said he would notify the
local physicians who had made charges
of irregularities against the institution
to gather their witnesses and evidence
and be prepared to present their side OF
the case at the inquiry, the date of
which will be announced in a few days.
The managers of the Home will also
be informed of the time and place Of the
inquiry and will be given every oppor-
tunity to refute if they can, the charges
made against the management.
Il had supposed until 1 reached
here" said Dr. Ruggles to a Record
Union reporter, that 1 was to make an
examination into the sanitary condl-
ton and surroundings of the institution
and report the result to the State Board
of Examiners, but / find that | am to sit
in judgment on a local scandal, or dis
pute.
However" added the doctor, II
never shirk a duty, however unpleasant
| it may be, and as this matter has been
assigned to me for inquiry I'm going
through with it without fear or favor.
l am thoroughly disinterested in the
issue, and all I want is to get at the
truth, no matter which side it may ia
vor, or who it may affect.
Since the State Board of Examiners
has delegated me to do this thing it
shall be done properly. l shall have the
testimony reported by stenographer,
and the public generally shall be in
vited to attend the inquiry. Instead of
task of few hours, l find 1 have a
mere onerous one to perform but it
| shall be done, and done thoroughly.
Il shall rely on the physicians who
made the charges against the Found
ling Home to procure such testimony as
may be had in support of the allega-
items rejecting on the management,
and as the accused will probably be
represented by an attorney the others
viii be permitted to have one Also
| AS to the date of holding the investi-
cation, DR.. Ruggles said he could not
then speak definitely, but it will be at a
very early day.

per acre as a remedy for the rot or
sweet potatoes. The result was highly
beneficial The use of sulphur with
white potatoes reduced the scabby po-
tatoes to only 5 per cent, by simply
rolling the seed in sulphur when fresh

The sowing of timothy this fall mas
been seriously retarded by the dry sea-
son. Timothy seed for a permanent
pasture should be sown in the fall, and
clover and orchard grass on the TIM
othy in the spring. The three KINDS
make an excellent combination and II
the pasture is given an application or
fertilizer or stable manure every year
it should keep in good condition.
Never allow any person. says stock
writer to pick out your best ewes.
Select the best rams, remembering that
he is half the flock, and $40 or so
extra for ram only means few cents

The chief obstacle to success in grow
ing pigs is the danger of becoming
overstocked There is always profit
if pigs are sold while young. But many
farmers who have a fine lot of growing
pigs will not sell them, thinking to
make a greater profit by feeding until
most cases this is mistake. The older
pig grows the smaller is usually the
profit from him.
The younger a pig is the less meal
it will take to put on pound of pork.
1t is well to supplement the pasture
with an abundant ration of chopped
grain, that they may be kept growing
as fast as possible. All grain fed them
should be chopped or ground.
The pumpkin crop on many farms is
used almost exclusively for feeding to
mich cows. They are good for increas-
ing milk flow, but wherever there is a
city or large village within reach the
pumpkins viii! bring more money mark
eted for making pies, while the COW can
be better fed with grains or wheat bran
and at much less cost than the same
nutritive value in the pumpkin.
Careful experiment has proved that
apples keep longest which have been
gathered soonest after maturity. Mis-
chief follows if the skin is broken in
the least In most cases no packing
material is used, but of them all thor
oughly dried hardwood leaves are the
best. The drying should be done care
fully and indoors.

other cause of the labor wars was the
wide and sedulous incubation i'll this

current with both these were the ac-
