FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.

Best Ration IL n Mixture OF Oatmeal md
Sweet skim Milk.
Few feeders believe in giving extra
food to sucking pigs before they arc
four weeks old. The size OF the litter, of
course. requires earlier feeding when
tine dam is young or deficient in her
milk secretion. The danger Of indiges-
ton in the youngsters warrants one In
being tardy in mixing milk with the
natural ration.
The first and best ration is n mixture
Of pure oatmeal (saDie as used on your
own ta6le) with sweet skimmilk, and IL
should be cooked 10 suit your own taste
and relish. Then thin the same with
milk which has been heated and allowed
to cool. For three days or a week this
mixture should be the only slop given
the youngsters. Then, II expense Is too

oatmeal is ont of the question 10 begin

IL the dam is grazing on good blue

In Holland a lady is expected TO re-
tire prccipitately if she should enter a
store or restaurant where men are con-
gregated. She waits until they have
transacted their business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to receive
a male visitor, and they rarely accom-
pany him TO the door. For a Spaniard
to give a lady-even mis- wife-his arm
while out walking is looked upon - Q
violation of propriety.
No Turk will ever enter a sitting
room with dirty shoes. The upper
classes wear tight-itting shoes with
goloshes over them. The latter. which
receive all the dirt and dust, are left
outside the door. The Turk never
washes In dirty water. Water is poured
over his hands, SO that when polluted IL
runs away.
In Syria the people never take of
their hats or turbans when entering the
house or visiting a friend, but they al
ways leave their shoes at the door.

Mr.. Walker McKeen, secretary Of

Previous To having q silo we fed quito

layers with oats, wheat or barley straw.
Make each layer not more than one foot

He manages to circumvent the vigilance

airs. she answering on the piano. He
walks by the house, for instance, piping

Rest Mode Of Tethertnr.

This is the time Of year when it is
quite common to tether animals out to
grass. A decided improvement upon
the usual method of doing this is to at
tach to the halter a strap three or four
feet long with a ring in the end. This
ring Is slipped over a wire, which il
stretched across the grass plot and
fastened down near the ground at both
ends. A No. Q wire is sufficient, and 1t
should, of course, be stretched taut and
we'll stobbed ut each end. BY this
arrangement the animal can browse full
length Of the wire, without the danger
always attending the use Of the long
rope--that Of It's winding and tangling
around his feet.-G. W. Waters, IN Jour-
nal of Agriculture.
