two or three feet. Slots are securely
fastened as shown at S S. and may be
about eight inches apart. By this
means the pigs are precluded from get,
ting into the trough. They can only
poke their noses into it, and this is all
that is needed.
This trough gives feedi: : space on
both sides. The Stops are easily dis
tributed through the hopper. The con
struction may be chcapened by using
only one board for each side of hopper
instead of two, as shown.-G Waters

Drawer THAN a ROMAN.
One of the Most Courageous Deeds
Recorded in History.

Recorded in History.
1t is told of Roman sailor that in
trying to climb from small boat into
ship he and his companions were
struggling to board and capture, he
was clinging to the ship with his right
hand, when it was cut off. He caught
hold again with his left, and that was
cut off, but not until he had driven his
head up to the deck of the boat, and,
with both hands gone, he still chung
Oh with his chin and elbows, and it was
not till his head was struck off that he
fell back into the water. That was old
Roman fighting with vengeance, but
in the annals of our own navy there is Il
true story of still greater pluck, for our
hero used his head, and saved others in

IMPROVING THE FLOCK.
Why Some Attempts in This Direc-
ton Result DisaStrOuSIy.


Quite often a farmer having flock OF
common stock that is well acclimated
and free from disease, but not very
profitable, disposes of them and Sc,
cures pure-bred fowls, which he give,
no better care. Having been improved
and made more profitable, partly by re.
ceiving excellent food and care, better
than the farmer is accustomed to
give, the improved fowls dc
not thrive. Possibly they are from
high scoring fancy stock that has been
weakened by being oyer-shown and in.
bred. Under his management they
may be no more profitable than his com.
mon stock, while they are more sensi.
tive to exposure and susceptible to dis
ease. He has about as much use for
them as man without a dollhouse to
put them in has for dollhouse plants
This man may become preiudiced
against purebred fowls. Had he Sc
cured suitable farm-reared pure-bred
birds from stock that had not been bred
for exhibition points for several years.
and at the same time had taken more
pains to keep the hen house clean,
free from lice, and to provide bettet
food and enough of it, he would doubt
less have secured a greater profit and
have been gratitied with the results
Proper food, says Samuel Cushman, has
much to do with improving breed, and
improved characteristics cannot be re
tanned unless sustained by it, Com
mon scrubs endure privation and ex-
posture best, and it is not, therefore, al
ways wise to discard them. 1t may be
difficult to secure really good birds for
useful urposes.--Western Plowman

the new elegant Louis coat basques

A marked feature of the modes this
