Wheat for Young Pigs.

Wheat is now higher than II has been
for several years. and too dear to feed
to grown animals Of any kind. Yet we
think small amount fed daily TO young
and growing pigs will pay even AT pres
ent prices. twill probably pay to feed
wheat to all pigs, In part to replace the
corn ration that Is nearly always In
furious. Wheat contains more nearly
the elements Of growth than any otlcr
grain except peas or beans, and only
sheep can be induced to eat whole
beans. Wheat bran and whent mid
dl!nRs cost nearly as much ns wheat.
and are not no good for feeding pur.
poses II given In moderation.

WATER FOR CATTLE.
No Doubt That 1t Pays to Heat II in
Cold Weather.


Some farmers will scarcely believe il,
ret it is nevertheless fact, that stock
IL more apt to suffer for water in win
ter than in summer, says the Livestock
Champion. When the weather is warm
il is not difficult 10 remember that
stock need water, and if one happens to.
forget they will remind him by gather
ing about the troughs and calling. But
when the weather is very cold the farm
animals and fowls prefer to seek the
shelter Of the sheds and stacks, and AS
they drink SO little of the icy-cold water
usually supplied, one is misled into
thinking they are not thirsty.
The idea that stock does not need
much water In winter" said IN ex-
perienced stock-raiser. "is mistake
that cuts down the profits at an aston
ishing rate. Give an animal only about
half enough water, and that cold as
ice, and il neither fattens or grows at
profitable rate. We throw food away
when We give it 10 stock that Ia half
famished for water. II one will consid-
er the matter for few moments. he
will see why stock living on dry feed
need wafer and lots OF 1t. And have
found that water fresh from the well
is warm enough for stock in winter. II
for any reason it is impossible-or diff
cult--to supply them with fresh water.
then l would use large tank and put
in tank heater"
II bears repeating thnt there is moth
ing which will hinder the growth and
fattening of stock like the lack o:
plenty of warm water. and II lies 10 the
power of every breeder to supply his
stock with this necessity. The ice
should be broken every morning. and
when the fresh water runs in from the
well it can be easily taken Off. Of
course 1t is great deal OF trouble and
mighty cold Job. but it pays big in the
long run.

1t is repored that football player
OF Depauw university attended spirit
ualistic seance at Greencastle, Ind, q
few nights ago. When the spirit" ap-
peared he tackled it hard, and the Ian
guage Of the phantom" is said to have
been unfit for publication. The seance
broke up right there, and the alleged
mediums who were conducting it were
landed in jail. The next morning an
unfeeling magistrate assessed them
$3.50 apiece and they lost no time in
getting out Of town. A good way to
deal with any kind OF a sham is to tackle
1t hard.

PROGRESS.

A monthly, s;x.een-page
journal containing in each
number some twenty nara
tives of the South, chiefly
descriptive . and pictorial.
The paper is undoubtedly
the best illustrated journal
in the world, and the only
publication which presents
glimpses Of Southern life
and Southern people. 1t
is a favo1ite souvenir with
those who have visited the
South; and it serves a good
purpose, in lieu of a visit,
to those who have never
been there.
The regular price Of
Southern Progress is fifty
cents a year, but to introduce
the paper we will send it
three months for ten cents.

says Warrington correspondent. when

wonder Warrington leaders are scared
and seek protection from social hordes,
II this latest story Of pilfering is true.
One Of the best known women in the
diplomatic circle once said that she
took good care 70 remove all small val
uables from her rooms whenever she
opened her house for receptions, for
anything portable or conceslable might
be carried OF! At that time her infer
ence was deemed most ungenerous, and
guests at her house declared they would
boycott any woman who made such
sweeping charges Of dishonesty; but
times have changed, and many Of the
lesser sins NO longer surprise these
virtuous defenders Of society. They
have had experience themselves. One
would surmise from recent reports
that women were natural-born thieves
and yielded to temptation more quickly
than the other sex; yet, even with Lady
Tatton Sykes accused of forgeries by a
half-crazy husband and kleptomaniacs
fiourishing in the politest Of society in
mind, this should not be believed.
