uor, Like Cooked Food.

Hogs do not take kindly to some
kinds of coarse vegetables, especially
roots, unless they are first cooked.
This is particularly true IL cooked
enough to soften them before being
fed. They are very likely to ferment IL
put in the swill barrel, as is the prac-
tice of too many housewives. 1t is bet
ter to throw the potato Feelings away
than to mix them with sour swill,
which soon ferments into compound
that is often really poisonous, as there
is more or less poison in the potato
which we are saved from by cooking
the tubers and by not eating their skins.
In contact with soured milk the potato
peeling makes compound that no de-
cent animal should be expected to eat.

One ounce of Scotch snuff to pound

L. u good thing. Hogs can be brought
to the fattening or finishing period on
alfalfa alone.
1t is hardly practical to feed an ex-
actly balanced ration. Come as near

agement, and let 1t go at that.
Lice and worms are the hogs great

animals.-Western Plowman.

ming up to the top of roosts it is easy
for the fowls to reach the roosts. The
plan is good one and it can only be
obtained by having it this height, for
a proper drop. a flock so kept will be
more healthy, rs improper ventilation
with foul roosts is often the cause of
sickness, TO say nothing of the vermin
that droppings very often attract to a
flock while roosting. The drop boards
are inches wider than the roosts. Some
of the birds will manage to roost on the
side rail to which the roosting sticks
are fastened. This house will accom-
modate 60 fowls, and as many as IS

Tow even arriving by train. There were
fully 200 Indians together, and then the
frn began. They were evidently glad
N be together again, for they set up
a large pole in the middle of the camp
and danced about it.
The scene was weird one, and seeing
n one could easily imagine that there
was no such thing as civilization with
IN n hundred miles. The women did
NOT dance, but the men who did were
dressed simultaneously. They wore
sbirts. trousers and beaded moccasins,
while long strings of beads wound
round and round their necks and
bright-colored sashes made their cos
tunes picturesque. AS they danced
they chanted song of welcome in the
Dacotah tongue and beat steadily upon
their tom-toms or small drums. There
was one rather peculiar thing about
their actions-they never appeared to
see one another as they wound in and
cut in the queer serpentine movements
Of the dance.
When the camp was visited by the
Dispatch 1t was very quiet, and except
for the smoke rising among the trees
there was no visible or audible sign

he wears shirt with bosom Of solid

His Indian name is Kaiah, but in Eng

A little incident which occurred one
morning would show that these pee
plehave great deal of feeling, although
they do not often show it. Two
of the oldest squaws in the party went
to the Ford residence and asked for the

1T PRESERVES HIDES.
An Important Discovery in which
Farmers Are Interested.

An important Discovery in Which
Farmers Are Interested.
In tanning hides, the sooner natural
decay, which begins with the death of
an animal, can be arrested the better
will be the leather. a hide is heavily
sailed and sent to a tannery where it
is immersed in water, that particles Of
flesh adhering to the inner side may
be scraped away. 1t is then soaked in
lime water ~ hours to remove the hair.
After being secured and depilated by
a machine, it is ready for the tanning
fluid. 1t has been necessary to allow il
to lie in q bark solution for three
months, being moved, drained and ma
nipulated many times during the proc
ess. If the solution of tan bark is too
strong, the hide may Zoe destroyed. For
years scientists have experimental with
different substances, hoping to shorten
the time necessary for the perfect prep
aration of hides. Recently it has been
found that canaigre, or sourdock, pos
sesscs properties which show that it is
indicated by nature for preservative
purposes. 1t is impossible to burn
leather in its solution. The cells of
hide will absorb enough to tan it in
12 hours and will take no more. In a
few hours, varying with the substance
to be treated, the fannie acid in the
canaigre will have done its work, saw
ing three months time and deal of
labor. The cost of planting, cultivat-
ing, irrigating and harvesting an acre
OF canaigre is estimated at $16.50. The
yield is from IL to 20 tons an acre on
new land and rises with cultivation.
The returns vary from SOS to SIS per
ton, sliced. Drying shrinks the prod
uct two-thirds, but it is said that the
producer can count on u clear gain Of
5000 per acre.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

days old they averaged 4.6 pounds. Five
from an older grade Poland-China sow,
out of a litter of seven, two having died,

and Sc pounds when seven days old.
Nine Duroc-Jersey pigs, two others

rurn,p. Among the Corn.

There is no crop grown so easily and
with SO little cost as latc-sown turnips
in field of well-cultivated corn. The
shade of the corn will keep the turnips
from growing much until the corn is
cut. Possibly also their growth will be
checked by the demand of the corn
roots for plant food. But in the Indian
summer that follows the first frost the
turnips will make rapid growth, as they
will then have all the land for their own
use. The turnip will endure pretty
heavy frost, and grow again If warm
weather follows 1t. But in our climate
turnips cannot be left in the ground all
winter as they are in England.
