Hog Wisdom,

At the Missouri swine breeders con-
vention the valuable points brought out
were as follows:
A small number Of pigs at the first
farrow cause failure in the develop
ment of sufficient number of teats, SO
that subsequent litters will not be sup
piled with milk for the whole number
of pigs. One speaker suggested the plan
Of borrowing pigs from some other SOW
in order that good development might
be secured for particularly fine SOW.
AS to the care needed for brood SOW,
it was agreed that this should begir
some time before narrowing. Good feed,
not too much corn, plenty of exercise,
good quarters The SOW should become
used to the place where she is expected
to farrow some weeks before. After the
narrowing care should be taken not to
feed too much at first. Give wholesome
diet-bran, some slops, not too rich
diet, for thereby scours In the pigs may
be brought on. As soon as pigs begin to
eat prepare trough apart from the SOW.
Wheat meal, bran, shipstuff and milk
were all considered good.
Many remedies for lice were given.
Coal oil or crude petroleum was used;
also an ointment made of mercurial
ointment 10 ounces, sulphur ounces,
oarbolic acid 8 ounces, oil of penny
royal u ounces. a quart Of grease.
Melt, mix and stir till cold Use by
rubbing on the posts in pen or by satu-
rating rag and lacking the same to
the posts of pen in reach of pigs They
will rub it on themselves. Crude petro-
leum was recommended very highly to
give to hogs. Mr.. Vivion said he kept
it by the barrel. Several others gave
very satisfactory results from its use.

"Gie Us aLeads

Dean Hole, in his recent book, more
Memories" tells an amusing story of
how an old woman got the better of her
clergyman in an argument. The village
churchyard was overcrowded, except on
Its sunless northernside, in which the
suicide was buried. One day the vicar,
while visiting a poor old woman who
was nigh unto death, thought he would
try to get her consent to be buried in
the roomy northern plot.
He began by assuring her that the
common aversion to burial in any par
ticular portion of consecrated ground
was silly prejudice and foolish su-
perstition. Then he besought her, as a
personal favor to himself and as an ex-
ample to others, to permit her body to
be buried in the northern plot of the
churohyard.
The old woman thought it all over
for few minutes and then answered,
well, sir. as you seem to think as one
part of the churchyard is as good as an
other, and that it makes no difference
where we be put, perhaps You'll gle US
q lead. !"
The vicar did not grasp the argument,
but he changed the subject

GERMAN ARMY MARRIAGE.
Onicers May Not Wed without the Cor
sent of Their SuperIors.

Onlcers May Not Wed without the Con.
sent of Their superiors.
No German officer can marry without
the consent of his colonel, according to
Poultney Bigelow in "The Borderland
of Gar and Kaiser, 7" and this consent
can be obtained only after careful in
quiry into all the circumstances sur
rounding the proposed alliance First,
is the young lady suitable for associa-
ton with the wives of the other officersi
Second, will the bridegroom be able to
live respectfully and bring up his FAM
ilyf Third, are his means, or those of
his wife, invested in proper securities,
SO that he is not liable to be expelled by
reason of bankruptcy? The extraordi-
nary social advantages enjoyed by the
German officer and the pecuniary re-
sponsibility growing naturally from
such advantages make his small pay,
which amounts only to about 81 day
in case of first lieutenant, appear even
smaller than it is.
An American lady who had been
spending winter in Dresden told Mr..
Bigelow that all the bachelors Of the
garrison were furnished with list Of
manageable women, each name orna-
mented with the property she might be
expected to inherit. This no doubt was
mistake on her part, but it is a very
common one German officers stationed
in desirable towns are very apt to gel
into debt and have to choose between
leaving the army in disgrace or marry
ing rich girl.
Mr.. Bigelow adds: "From my owr
experience in Germany the officers would
appear to have married for love and to
be happy in consequence, and yet "ths
number of those who get into debt and
fail to secure rich wife is considerable,
although it makes no particular ripple
in the surface. Such men simply disap'
pear and turn up sooner or later in
America, where they take employment as
coaohmen. walters, teachers or instruct.
ors in riding schools. The change Of
life is very violent and is adopted only
as preferable to suicide. I"

your shoes half soled while you
wait" is Seventh avenue sign which
recalls many pleasant memories to the
man who was raised in the back coun-
try and paid periodical visits to the
crossroads oobbler during boyhood days.
The face of an old man with all of his
hair on his chin, and that white with
age and streaked with tobacco juice,
sitting on low shoemaker's bench in a
little back kitchen of log house in the
woods rises before me as pass. smell
the sole leather soaking in the tub near
the redhot kitchen stove and hear the
play of the shining hammer as the old
man beats the stiff cowhide on his knee.
And such knees Many time have /
seen him crack walnuts on them with
no other protection than his shoemaker's
apron. The old man always performed
that trick for my boyish edification as
sat metaphorically at his feet of cold
winters night and my shoes were being
half soled while / waited. 1t seemed to
give him as much pleasure as 1t did me.
He was philosopher who had seen
much of the great world and had re
tired from it to the low cabin in the
baokwoods Of northern Indiana, and as
he drove the lockwood pegs home with
certain aim he awoke In me the over
mastering desire to see some of that
same world on my own account He
seemed to me to know everything worth
knowing and sorupled not to part with
fractions of that knowledge upon the
slightest provooation. The shoe pegs or
waxed ends in his mouth never inter-
fered materially with his volubility.
Nothing ever disturbed his good humor.

Why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Alb
soIute Certainty Of Coming Storms.

Why Cirrus Clouds Tell With Almost Abb
solute Certainty of Coming Storms.
In order to better understand the role
placed by cirrus clouds as rain indica-
tors, we must first discuss the causes of
these occurrences. A study of the wealth
er indications and barometrical read
ings, as they appear in onr daily papers
from the report of our Weather Blu
reau,' shows that areas Of high or low
air pressure are constantly passing over
the earth s surface in irregular success
sion. The areas Of high atmospheric
pressure-or barometric maxima, me-
teorologically expr essed-stay longer in
one locality than the areas of low pres
sure = the depression or barometrioal
minima These last arS more or less de-
fined currents of air, which circle in
the form of wind around the region of
the lowest atmospheric pressure, NOV
ing always from north to west or from
south to east-the reverse Of the hands
of a clock. It must not be imagined,
however, that the air simply moves
around this area Of depression. but rather
that it is constantly being drawn into
its center and is carried upward in great
whirls or spirals. As the air rises, it ex-
pands and becomes colder. The vapors it
contains condense into clouds and final
~ are transformed into rain. The CEN
ter Of the barometrical depression is
therefore marked by cloudy, rainy
weather. The wind which encircles the
depression becomes more active as the
difference Of the atmospheric pressure
becomes more marked, or, In other
words, as the barometer falls.
In brief, therefore, barometrioal de-
pressions are caused by huge ascending
spirals, or whirls of air, which are car
ried upward to extreme heights, and
from there are waited in any direction.
In these heights the humidity Of the at
mosphere is frozen and is waited away
in closed forms which are composed of
ice crystals. THESE afe zone other than
cirrus clouds. and tnc5 tmay float sew
'eral hundred miles from the seat of the
depression. It will now be seen why
cirrus clouds may be justly regarded as
forerunners of rain, even when they
make their appearance in clear weather.
They tell with absolute certainty of an
approaching atmospheric depression,
and this is substantiated by gradual
falling of the barometer soon after they
make their appearance. Home and

That Troublesome Meringue.

The secret of making the meringue
for lemon pies SO that it stands tall and
thick is in the baking. Whip the whites
of the eggs to froth that will not fall
out of the bowl when turned upside
down. Put in about tablespoonful of
granulated sugar for each white, stir
very little, spread it on the pies when
they are just done and still baking hot
without taking them out of the oven
and let them bake with the oven open.
If made hot enough to brown, the me-
ringue will surely fall and become
worse than nothing. Five to ten minutes
is enough to bake the meringue dry and

teeth occasionally wear off sharp and
