PARENTS.

Parents are things which boys have
to look after them. Most girls also
have parents Parents consist of Pas
and Mas, Pas talk a good deal about
what they are going to do. but mostly
It's Mas that make you mind.
Sometimes 1t is different. though.
Once there was a boy came home from
college on vacation. His parents lived
on farm. There was work to be done
on the farm. Work on farm always
has to be done early in the morning.
This boy didn't get up. His sister goes
to the stairway and calls: Willie. tits

the lark" The boy didn't say ANYTHING.
Then his Ma calls: William, it is time
to get up. Your breakfast is growing

head in the stairway, and says he

WHY HOGS GET FAT.

WHY the domestic hog so handsomely
responds to liberal feeding. until he
literally lards the lean earth, may not
be a burning question just now, but
il Is one that Is interestingly treated
by DIR. Louis Robinson, in paper on
wild Traits in Tame Animals" (North
American Review. December). from
which We quote the following:
The wild boar of Europe Is a scrag-
gy giant who would need a vast deal
of civilizing before his gaunt and sin
envy frame could be cushioned over
with the proper thlckhess ana quallty
Of adipose tissue Very many years
ago breeders found that the European
pigs were much improved by being
crossed with the Chinese. These are Of
a different race altogether, and are not
found wild anywhere at the present
day. The careful Mongolians have
kept and improved them for untold
for their superiority from the farmers
point of view.
but the disposition to lay on an
enormous amount of fat when food is
plentiful dates back far beyond the
beginning of the Chinese Empire. And
what Is more, it was a most necessary
habit of the pigs wild ancestors in any
but hot climates; for in all probability
the hog which did not get fat in the
fall would perish during a hard winter
One would not think that there was
much resemblance between fat pork
and honey yet analysts tell us that
they are chemically very similar. In
both cases they were, in the first place,
stores laid up for winter use by their
respective owners, which man. the
h-plunderer, has appropriated for
his own purposes. There was this diff
ference, however, that whereas the bees
accumulated their savings in a joint
stock bank, the pig carried his about
with him.
Throughout the spring and summer
In northern and central Europe, the
Wild hog, by diligently grubbing for
roots and whatever else he could find
manged to make a bare living. But
when autumn came, and the acorns
and beech-mast fell, he reveled in
plenty. Moreover, at this season,
many of his enemies, such as the bears,
were feasting on the ripe berries and
nuts. so that he was left in COMPARE
tive peace The result was that, in the
few weeks between the fall of the mast
and the first severe weather, he filled
out amazingly. Then came the winter
during which he had to face the cold
and find what food he could beneath
the snow or on the hard-froZen ground
Toward the end of winter the most
trying time came The earth was still
hard with frost, and every nut or acorn
in the forest had been picked up by
the thousands Of hungry searchers
The pig was no longer fat; his inward
store had well-nigh been consumed. 1t
was always an anxious question with
him whether he would save his bacon
until the breaking of the frost.
"You will see, then, that the hog,
which had within his own private bank
a dollars worth of savings, in the form
90 ND whom his fellows were inSol-
vent, would in an exceptionally pro-
tracted and severe winter be one of the
few to survive. He would naturally
transmit his fattening tendencies to his
descendants, and so it comes about
that, In the present day, no animal so
handsomely responds to liberal feeding
as the domestic pig"
