Prof. Willard Il. Johnson got through
explaining 10 the Meade Globe how the
, big salt well this side of Meade came TO
be there. He winds up his explanation
as follows: "To sum up, then, the salt
well is due either to the caving in of
cavernous openings in the bedrock
floor, resulting from the dissolviug cut
of salt deposits there, or il is due to the
breaking down of the motarbed cover
Of cavity formed within the tertiary
gravels by processes similar to those
which haye originated the innumerablc
other basins of the plains. That do
settle it-makes everything clear as mud.

SWINE.

No matter If Stops or milk are regu-
larly given, they will not quench thirst
nor satisfy the hogs as fully as pure,
fresh water, and if they have not con-
tinual access to it, it should be provided
regularly in their troughs, and just as
regularly as they have their feed.
There is no lack of cheap food now,
and hogs should be brought to gree n
corn very gradually. Cramming them
with it will soon destroy digestion, and
they will be thrown off their feed; pos
sibly it will lead to cholera scare.
Pigs will eat more of soaked food and
make greater gains from it than from
whole grain. This is true whether we
are feeding them sheled corn, cornmeal,
shorts or mixture of these foods.
The farmer needs the right kind of a
boar because every pig he raises by that
boar is worth more money to him at
market time than il he had placed a
scrub, grade or any makeshift of hog
at the head of his herd.
Buy your boar while you can choose
what you like, and then get him we'll
settled at home and in good breeding
condition by the time you want him.
The sow must be thrifty to produce
thrifty pigs. Feed her on succulent
food. FRESH, cooked or steamed clover,
turnips, potatoes. beets or other things
of like variety, with due proportion of
grain, will keep her in just the right
condition.
There is little fortune in a good SOW,
and she should be kept for breeding
purposes. Such one is a good breeder
of choice pigs, makes good mother, is
good sucker. and she produces large
filters of pigs.

Two Acres Enough IN Belgium.

What many an American farmer fails
to do on one hundred acres, the thrifty
Hollander in Belgium easily does on two
acres, namely, support large family
and lay by something for a rainy day.
He does it by making the most of every
inch, by heavy manuring, allowing no
waste places. His two acres are sur
rounoed by ditch of running water.
The typical two.acre Belgium farm con.
tains patch of wheat or rye and an.
other of barley; another fair por ton
grows potatoes. A row of cabbage
grows all around on the sloping sides of
the bitches with row of onions just
inside, leaving bare walking room be-
tween them and the grain. The shade
trees round the house are pear trees.
Every foot of land is made to produce.
He keeps pigs and chickens. We refer
to this as illustrating the possibilities of
land production. In Belgium 100000
people, chiefly farmers. live on piece
of land the size of the State of Mary.

Firefies.

1.-THE lightning bugs or fireflies, as
many call them" explained bugologist
of the Agricultural Department to a
Star reporter, "disappeared as suddenly
es they made their appearance this sum-
mer. They were couple of weeks
later than usual in making their public
appearance. for but few were seen until
the middle of May. In comparison
with former years the rumber was de.
cidedly small. Now, ordinarily. they
are in evidence until nearly the end of
August. but none have been seen for
nearly two weeks. The more rain there
is during the summer the fewer the
lightning bugs. There is only this con
nection between lightning bugs and
rain. The frequent rains wash them off
the trees and drown them. 1t has al
ways been noticed that they are much
more numerous during dry summers
than wet summers. The present sum-
mer bears off the palm as wet summer
In this respect it has not been equaled
for thirth years; that is, in the East. In
the Middle West it is just the other
way, extremely dry. 1t may be that
the lightning bugs knew of it, and went
TO places where there we're no rains"

When Men are Strongest.

At what hour of the day is man at
his strongest, and 80 fitted to do hard
work with the least weariress? Prob
ably the answer occurring at once to
most persons will be, when he gets
up in the morning" This is by no
means the case; on the contrary, accord
ing to experiments of DIR. Buch with the
dynamometer, man is precisely at his
weakest when he turns out of bed. Our
muscular force is greatly increased by
breakfast; but it attains to its highest
point after midday meal 1t then sinks
for few hours, rises again toward even
ing. but steadily declines from night till
morning. The two chief foes of muscu-
lar force, according to DIR. Buch, are
overwork and idleness. Sweating at
work deteriorates the muscles. Many
OF the great workers of the world have
been early risers. But early rising.
according to Buch's doctrine, ought
always to be supplemented by early
breakfasting.

How to be Rid of Ants.

Ants frequently become very trouble
some in country houses, especially where
the soil is sandy. The small red ants
may be captured by taking some bits of
coarse sponge, sprinkling sugar in the
cavities and placing them near the ants
run. They will visit them in large num-
bers, and the sponges can be picked up
and quickly dropped into dish of hot
water carried there for the purpose. II
this course is persisted in the ants will
all be destroyed.
A housekeeper who has been much
troubled with ants filled several walls
with sweet oil and sank them in the
ground to the rim, leaving the mouth
open. These were placed just outside
the pantry where the ants we're noticed
to travel back and forth. They like the
oil and will sip it. but die of asphyxia
after little time, as it destroys their
capacity for breathing.
The two methods might easily be car
ried on at the same time.
