Why Moses Prohibited Pork.

An institute worker says: With re-
gard to the prohibition against the use
OF pork by Moses, there are differences
OF opinion. One writer supposes the
law prohibited swine because of their
hlthiness and observes that it is well
known with what care aud precision
The law forbids all filthiness and dirt,
even in the fields and camp, as well
Us in the cities. Another states that
the Jews abstained from it in conse-
quence of leprosy, from which they
mad severely suffered, and to which
the hog, in those climates, is very sub
.ect that throughout Palestine leprosy
Is an epidemic disease, and, the Israel
ties being overrun with 1t at the period
OF their quitting Egypt, Moses found
IL necessary to enact q variety of laws
respecting it, and prohibiting the use
Oh swine as an article of food was one
Of these.

be made. These interests can well be
grouped, because they require for their
housing empty floor space, without
room above. In the illustration the
further end of the building, with large
doors, is devoted to the storage of tools
and machines, the doors being large
enough so that the latter can be driven
in, the horses unhitched and led out of
large doors on the opposite side of the
building. The next two compartments
are for fowls and swine, being placed
in the center of the building for in
creased warmth in winter. In the near
err end is workshop, fitted with bench
and other appliances for repairing tools
and doing any bit of woodwork that
may be needed about the farm or farm
house. The small space under the roof
can be used for the storage of lumber
and tools that can be thus piled away,
in which case there should be small
gable window in each end of the build
ing. Such building could well be
made wing to u barn, il desired. il
this is done, communication can be had
between the barn and the wing. Then
the fowls and the hogs should have
their quarters next to the barn. Then
would come the toolshed, and Mt the
outer end the workshop, so that light
can be had from windows in the end

GREEN FORAGE CROPS.
Planting Them Is Good Way of Clear
Ing Land of Weeds.

Ing Land of Weeds.
There are crops that can be grown to
take the place of pasture grass and Mt
the same time serve to clear the ground
of weeds. 1t is not to be expected, how
ever, where the land is compelled to
produce two or more crops, that it can
do so unaided, for that would be impos-
sible, unless the soil was very rich; yet
there Is way of growing a large
amount Of green food and feeding it at
the barn while the pasture is being re-
newed. 1t is important to keep stock
of the pasture land when the grass be
gins TO fail; yet the cows must be pro-
vided for, and with green food, as they
will not thrive during the summer II
compelled to subsist on hay, fodder and
grain entirely. Green and succulent
foods are essential to the thrift of the
animals, promoting digestion, prevent
ing bowel diseases and increasing the
flow of milk as well as protecting
against the heat of summer.
For cows the broadcasting of oats ard
peas, to be moved as wanted, and fed to
the COWS in the barnyard, will provide
an excellent substitute for pastut,
grass, such food being assisted by hay
and grain. 1t will permit of resting the
pasture land. Later in the season Hun
garian grass may be sown on the same
land AS it is a quick-growing crop,
providing a cutting every four or five
weeks and of sufficient growth for
hay, ii will more readily provide green
food that is wanted daily, and it will
continue to produce green food until
it goes to seed or is overtaken by frost.
This mode of feeding is styled "soiling"
and applies to the practice of growing
green food and carrying it to the stock
instead of turning the stock on the
green food. 1t also gives a larger
amount of food, as new crop comes
up on the space just cut, thus keeping
up n continued supply, while the ma
nure saved in the barnyard is an addi-
tional item. Labor, however, must not
be overlooked, as more attention 10
stock will be necessary, but the land
will provide for twice as many cattle
as the same area in pasture.
Where crops are cut frequently the
weeds are also moved down at the same
time, being thus destroyed, and, aside
from this, any thickly sown crop that
makes rapid growth crowds the weeds
out. If piece of land can be cleared
of weeds in this manner it will pay for
the labor of soiling the stock.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Experiment i'm Feeding Lambs.

Bulletin 81, of Minnesota station, gives
results of some experiments in feeding
lambs and wethers. Corn fed with hay
produced 90 cents per lamb more profit
than barley fed with hay. By weight,
corn proved to be worth 20 cents per
ton more than barley, s2.65 more than
wheat screenings, and $3.45 more than
wild buckwheat. The fact that screen
ings contain weed seeds that are apt to
be scattered in the manure, renders
them very Objectionable. Making one
tenth the ration linseed or cottonseed
meal greatly increased profits. Cracked
corn and cottonseed meal was the most
profitable grain ration. The lambs
gave profit Of $1.o6 each; the wethers
40 cents each.

PLAYING POKER FOR KEEPS.
This Was the Stiffest Game for Years on
the Pacific Coast.

This Was the Stinest Game for Years on
the Pacific Coast.
'rhe biggest game of poker 1 have
heard of in the past few years." said
one of the Californians at the capitol,
twas played in San Francisco about
two years ago between Lucky Baldwin
and California cattle man.
"The game was limited, but one by
one the players dropped out until no.
body was left in bat Baldwin and the
cattle man. They agreed to waive the
limit, and the cattle man set the pace.
'He wanted TO bet $4,000. Baldwin
stayed and offered to go him SIC, 900 bet
ter. The cattle owner scratched his
head, and said he didn't have that much
to lose, but he would like to put up his
cattle as collateral. Baldwin was agree
able, and the cattle were assessed at
ten dollars head.
''Then the cattleman raised Baldwin
$4,000. That made Baldwin scratch his
head and hem and haw a little. lie
said he was in the same predicament as
his friend. He didn't have quite that
much to lose.
But said Baldwin, you know my
house on Market street. giving The
number of the property; well, I'll pit
that against $50 of your cattle, making
q total of $I5,000.'
1.-THE cattleman agreed, and then it
came to a show down. The ruralist
laid down four queens. Baldwin laid
down four aces. 1t was the stiffest
game of poker played on the Pacific
coast for many long years."-Washing-

Cost of Eggs and Meat.

The nutritive value of eggs and the
cbeapness Of their production arc
scarcely realized by the public. Itmay
Seem rather improbable to state that
when meat is rs cents apound, the
food value of eggs is about 37K cents n
dozen, yet this seems to be the fact. A
hen may be calculated to consume one
Dushel of corn yearly, and to lay IL OF
10 pounds Of eggs. This is equivalent
10 saying that lilo pounds of corn
Will produce, when fed to this hen, !
pound of eggs. Apound of pork, on tho
contrary, requires about 1-3 pounds oi
corn for its production. Judging from
These facts, eggs must be economical
and especially fitted for the laborine
man in replacing meat.-Scientifie

Preserving a Corn Crop.

The Vermont station tested four ways
of preserving a corn crop for dairy feed;
namely, 1, putting in silo, ears and all;
3, cribbing the ears and putting fod-
der In silo, feeding the two together
after grinding the ears; 3, curing in
shocks, then running through cutter,
ears and all, ut time OF feeding; 4, cur
ing in field, and husking and grinding
ears, and running fodder through cut
ter at time of feeding. OF the four
methods, putting into the silo, ears and
oil, cut in quarter inch lengths, gave the
best results. This silage cost much
less, handled much better, went farther
and produced more milk than either Of
the other three feeda
