Hint for Hot Weather.

A hint comes from India which is
worth filing away for use when the hot
GUNNER days come. Lassitude and
loss of appetite are among the first
evidences of the effect of the suns
heat upon the body, and in hot
weather many persons who never have
had sunstroke are debilitated by what
might fairly be called sun fatigue,
which although not serious, renders
work of every kind much more labor
ious than it would otherwise be. The
influence of the sun varies enormously
on different individuals, some Of whom
have to take special precautions in
order to be able to resist it. A spinal
pad is used by soldiers in many
tropical countries. 1t arrests the
light, which often works such injury,
but it is uncomfortably hot, and soon
becomes Objectionable from its absorp.
tiun of perspiratiop. According to
royal engineer, who is stationed In
India, the boon and blessing beyond
compare to those who have to spend
part of their lives under a tropical
sunlight is an oranee-colored shirt.
He declared that he frequently fell
sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself as a Photographic
sensitive plate and surrounded his
body with yellow light. All clothing,
however thick, allows certain rays to
pass, and although thick clothing
would arrest all the injurious elements
of sunlight, it would interfere with
the escape of bodily heat. The yellow
shirt, for sensitive people who are
much in hot sunlight, is an excellent
protection, only ieferior to that
simplest and best of all Indian pro.
tectivee, a white umbrella, which has
not yet been widely used in this coun.

Taught by q Recent Disaster.

Undoubtedly the greatest lesson for
railway managers in this accident (the
one near Atlantic City, N. j. is that
it is not safe to dispense with derail-
ing switches at grade crossings. We
are aware that some railway officers
object that derailment may cause as
serious results as q collision. It is
true that it may, but universal rail
road experience shows that it very
seldom does.
It is to be borne in mind always in
considering this question that the
moral effect of the derailing switch is
such that it compels obedience to the
warning of the danger signals as no
rules or discipline that the best man.
ager can enforce can possibly do. The
engineer knows that the normal posi-
tion of the signals is at danger, and
when he approaches them and sees
them against him he too often thinks
that it means nothing more than that
the tower operator has been a little
dilatory in throwing his levers. But
if he realize that to run past a danger
signal means absolutely and invariably
that his train is going off the rails, he
has much more powerful motive to
induce him to keep his train under
control as he approaches such signals

at the upper and lower edges and fin

frills of embroidery to match neck.
The closing is in centre back with
buttons and button holes, the lower

left open or closed in a seam as pre-
ferred. Lawn, grass linen, bast;ste,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

"-'|
It comes very noar to cruelty to an.
imals, or hens, rather, to hatch chicks
in August.
If there are any runts and low grade
chicks in your flock you'd better kill
them off and rot fool away good feed
on them.
Tie ram should be changed every
two years. At every change better
one should be produced. 1t is half
the flock.
Because the sheep is the champion
farm scavenger. is no reason why he
should have no better fare than weeds
and browse.
The best lambs should be selected
at once for the future hocks. By
keeping only the best, the flock is al.
ways improving.
Sow some turnip seed in the potato
patch. They will be excellent to chop
up for the hens next winter when
when green stuff is scarce.
When eggs are packed for long
time in pine cases, they frequently
take on a pine flavor, by absorption
through the shell. Whitewood cases
are far better.
1t is an excellent idea to save all your
lawn clippings and cure them to feed
the fowls next winter when you can't
get much green stuff. They will en-
Joy it and it will help make them
lay.
Thirty tons of roots may be grown
on any good acre of land by the right
cultivation. They will feed thirty
sheep for 200 days, or 200 for q month.
They will supply two.thlrds of the
feeding.
Open sheds are the best place for
fowls to roost in hot weather. 1t is
we'll to take out the door of your reg.
ular roosting place, and replace it
with wire screen door. This will
admit air, and exclude vermin.
On any good farm, and under good
management, flock of sheep will pay
their winter feeding in the manure,
they will make. Give them lots of
straw, and they will convert it into
the richest kinds of food for crops.
For the future ewes the twin lambs
should usually be reserved. 1t is not
at oil necessary that twin lambs should
be discouraged, on account of inability
to rear them. Better ewes, trained to
it, are all that is needed to rear twins
successfully. The training is done by
feeding.
Scaly legs will appear this hot
weather. Make combination of lard
and kerosene, and dip the diseased
legs into it. A couple or three appli.
cations o week apart will affect cure,
by killing the grub that causes it.
These grubs are very small, and bur-
row underneath the scales OF the leg.
1t will kill the fowl in time if not at.

FEEDING PIGS.

I used to grind corn and other
grains for the pigs, but years of ex-
perience have taught me that the most
I got out of it was hard work, writes
John NJ. Jamison in the Country Gen.
tleman.
The trouble with the farmer in this
matter lies in the fact that he gets an
idea into his head and works in that
line without any data to show whether
he is correct or not; his experiments
are one-sided and in the direction Of
his preiudices. If no thinks ground

able or not. The fact that it is con.
sidered stylish makes even the young
person with a short, fat neck wear it
with apparentioy. Not only have all the
new shirt waists been made with this
high, stiff linen collar, but the silk waists
have this season for the first time been
worn with it. This freak of fashion
has been one of the novelties of the
season. The linen collar has had but
one real rival, and that has been the
ribbon stock. When the day has been
exceptionally warm the soft ribbon
stock has been worn in place of the
high collar. Now the question Of
rivalry is at IN end. From Paris comes
q new collar, which is q combination
of the ribbon stock and the high linen

feed is the thing, he feeds it; but he
does not feed another lot on whole
grain by way Of comparison, that he
may know which is best. Careful ex-
periments have been made in this dl-
rection by men who work only TO
know the facts in the case. So far the
summed-up evidence is against grind
ing corn for pigs.
Pig feeders who feed meal lose sight
of one very important fact When a
pig eats meal. whether wet or dry, ne
does it hastily. If wet the moisture
connected with it cannot take the
place of saliva as digestive agent 1t
dry it is eaten too quickly for the meal
to become thoroughly saturated with
the saliva. When q pig is fed whole
corn in the proper manner his mouth
is filled with saliva in anticipation OF
the enjoyable morsel when he comes
to it, and as he grinds the corn you
can notice the saliva escaping from his
mouth. All the corn that he grinds
is thoroughly dampened with saliva
before it is swallowed. When moal is
fed, whether as slop or dry, it is al
most impossible to prevent some waste.
When corn is fed whole all can be
saved, for q properly fed pig will
gather the last grain. But If meal IS
worked out of the trough it is in the
main lost, or if slop is thrown out it
is also lost.
Ii a pig does not get out of whole
corn all there is in it, it is because of
some mistake on the part of the feeder,
and is not the fault of the. grain. 1t
is folly to expect a pig to 20 we'll on
corn alone in dead of winter or heat
of summer; but if he has some other
food with it of a less csrbonaceous
nature he will get more from the corn
and thrive better. The food proper
ties of corn are not changed by grind
ing; it is still corn, whether it is
served as meal, mush or slop.
The only animal of the hog kind
that I should think of grinding corn
for would be aged sows that have worn
out their teeth by years of grain
grinding, and I doubt if they would
pay the miller and labor bill. In
these hard times it is well for the pig
feeder to give these things some
thought. If the pig will not pay for
shelling the corn and taking it to the
mill, why pay the miller toll for
grinding?
