Hog Feeding.

From Farmers Review: The ex-
pertinent station OF the Kansas Agrl-
cultural College has. from time to
time, by bulletins, short articles for
the papers, etc, shown the value OF
feeding to fattening hogs something
besides those highly starchy feeds, corn
and kafiir. In feeding over 200 head
OF hogs eXperimentally, not a case has
come up where the results were not
rich in protein, along with the corn
and kafiir. But what is intended to be
brought out in this item Is not the
pecuniary gain from feeding such feeds
as alfalfa hay, skim-milk or soy bean
meal with the other feeds, but II Is the
humanity OF doing so. Putting q hog
In small pen and giving 1t no feed
but dry corn and kaffir and water Is
inhumane. Hogs so treated when you
come to the pen will walk away as far
as they can and eye you as though
they know you were responsible for
their pains OF digestion, the annoying
lice and all the other unfavorable con-
ditions Of the young hog that Is being
starved on carbohydrates. Protein Is
the source OF the blood, bone, hair.
muscle and nerve. Take away this
supply, and what has the poor hog to
live for? Their hair drops out, their
belly bows up as well as the back
bone; great rough wrinkles OF hide
seem to work out on the tail, but in
NJ Wrip LII In ,,Yt ha "
has drawn up and left the hide, like
the insect that pupates in one end OF
the worm, as we say. The hog has a
cough, and undoubtedly II such hog
could read and had access to our fam
lily papers, and not the experience OF
many persons, 1t would send for rene
dies for a dozen different complaints.
Dumb animals have spirit. as we
say, as well as human beings, and II
this element OF their nature is de-
stroyed by unfavorable circumstances
and conditions, they are subject to the
same moods; and 1t will require
great effort to bring this spirit back;
yet until this is done they will not
grow and fatten. II the hogs are fed
the proper feed and treated kindly.
they come to meet you when you ap-
proach the pen, and have an appear
ance OF perfect content which Is as
different from the above described
condition as day Is from night. Feed
your hogs a variety, and make sure
that you know that the feed contains
the proper elements to Insure a good
healthful condition.

About the Poultry Yard.

Build the poultry house so II will
be dry at all times. 1t is easy enough
to have a poultry house that is dry in
the middle Of summer, but that is lust
the time when the fowls are in II least
and are least affected by its condition.
But in the winter, when they must
remain indoors for days at a time, is
when the fowls need to have a place
that is not favorable to the increase of
disease germs. Wet and dirty houses
are often the beginning Of epidemics of
roup and other equally fatal diseases.
A good many Of our readers will
doubtless construct poultry houses this
summer. To such we would say, do
not do so before studying up the ques-
ton of ventilation. Nearly all poultry
houses are either unventilated or ven
tilated in the wrong way. There is a
great mass of literature on this sub
ject that is within reach of the farmer,
and he should exhaust 1t before put
ting new theories into practice Bad
air is unnecessary in the poultry house,
and 1t is equally unnecessary to have
an open ventilator above the fowls
from which cold air can pour down
during the winter nights, bringing no
end of colds and discomfort. While
the ventilation is to be looked after,
be sure that no drafts over the fowls
are allowed to exist.
An exchange says: "Whitewash in
side monthly, from March LIST to Oct.
1st." We would like to remark that
perhaps the whitewashing advice is
about as useless as much of the other
advice that Is going the rounds Of the
press. The writer used to do a great
deal Of whitewashing, but Of late years
has done none of It, 1t is doubtful IL
he will ever do any more. 1t is not
q difficult matter to keep a henhouse
free from lice. Lice cannot live on
the walls Of house unless they have
a chance to make periodic incursions
on the roosts by which they get onto
the bodies of the hens. If the roosts
are made movable and the arrange
ments that support the roosts are NOV
able, 1t will be a most difficult matter
for louise to get onto hen. This
will be all the more so II dust or sifted
coal ashes be kept under the roosts.
A louise is not able to travel far in
even a sixteenth of an inch of dust.
But If a man has henhouse so con-
structed that the mites can journey
from the walls and fixtures over the
roosts and get onto the fowls, by all
,neans Lot him WhiteWash his house
and fixtures often, as that will be
found the easiest way out of the diff

An Odd Sea Dweller.

The sea cucumber, one of the curious
jelly bodies that inhabit the ocean. can
practically efface himself when in dan
ger by squeezing the water out 0; his
body and forcing himself into mar
row crack-so narrow as not to be Wis
ible to the naked eye. He can throw
out nearly the whole of his inside, and
yet live and grow 1t again.

Her Ashes In the Mortar.

An odd monument was desired by
an elderly maiden who died a few
weeks ago in Athlone, Ireland. She
left fortune of $4,000 to be spent in
the erection of church, provided that
her body should be converted into
ashes and used in making the mortar
for building the edifice.

WHEELS AT THE PARIS FAIR.
Ample Preparations Being Made to Show
Bicy cles.

The wheel, according to the New
York Herald, will occupy an honorrd
place at the Paris exposition. No
where in the world are there more en-
thusiastic wheelmen than the members
of the famous Touring Club de France.
and they have not been slow to avail
themselves of this opportunity to draw
the attention of the civilized world to
the modern wheel with all its latest
improvements. A committee was ap-
pointed some time ago to see about
the construction of building in which
the wheels could be exhibited, and
about the selection of a suitable site,
and now the news comes that an ad-
mirable site has been granted by the
authorities In charge Of the exposition,
and that on 1t stately building will
be erected within very short time.
The site is near the Eiffel tower and
close to the entrance of the Champ de
Mars. Anyone who knows Paris will
see that no better site could have
been selected. All the visitors to the
exposition, whether they are interest
pass by this spot, and cannot help be-
ing attracted by the artistic edifice that
is to be reared in honor Of the ubiquit-
Gus wheel. The building has been de-
signed by M. Gustave Rives, and is
described by those who have seen his
plans as marvel of beauty. No pains
will certainly be spared so far as orna-
mentation and other decorations are
concerned. Contracts for this and all
other necessary work will soon be
awarded. and it Is expected that the
building will be completed at an early
date. American as we'll as foreign
wheelmen will doubtless spend many a
pleasant hour in this building Hard
ly week passes that some attempt is
not made to improve the bicycle in
one direction or another, and If we
would find out about these so-called
improvements and learn how many OF
them are really worth anything we
must study them at our leisure in
this place. That thousands will do so
is certain

must provide the proper shade or cool
places for our hogs is again here. The

while the other may be unavoidable.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
quiet-looking, smooth-shaven man,
with straw hat pushed back from his
forehead, registered from an adjoining
parish at the Grunewold last evening
and laid a package on the counter The

up in an old newspaper that bore the
stains of travel. 1t was tied with A

to fill out blank. What's the value? %

Tabernacle.

Changes in the Interior of the Christian
Tabernacle.
Workmen will begin their labors to-
day in making some much needed
changes in the arrangement Of the in
terror of the Christian tabernacle. The
choir loft will be lowered nearly four
feet and will be increased in, size SO that
the singing force can be added to, which
the present small seating capacity will
not admit of. The baptistry will also
be enlarged and dressing rooms fitted
up in the basement for the accommo-
dalton of the candidates. The rostrum
will be raised and steps placed on either
side leading to the choir gallery, which
will be slightly above the rostrum.
Some pronounced alterations in the
arch above the choir opening will mate
rally aid in the acoustic properties Of
the large room. Plans are also under
consideration for the construction of a
balcony. to extend in horse shoe shape
around the entire auditorium. This was
the intention in the original plan, but
up to the present time has not been
needed. Since the advent of the present
pastor, Rev. Edward Oliver Tilburn, the
congregations have grown so large that
the balcony will soon be necessity. In
addition to the improvements to be
made in the auditorium, the large base
ment is to be fitted up for the use of
the Sunday school and Christian En-
deavor society. An assembly room near
~ as large as the auditorium above will
thus be afforded, and in addition to its
usefulness as before mentioned, will
provide a place for social gatherings,
entertainments, etc. Services will be
continued as usual during the progress
of the labor. The prospects for this
church now seem bright.

CAMPING TRIP SPOILED.
The Boys Who Planned 1t Are Under
Arrest for Burglary.

The Boys Who Planned 1t Are Under
Arrest for Burglary.
Captain of Police Leyden and Act
ing Sergeant Walsh placed a formid-
able barrier between an enjoyable
hunting and fishing excursion and
three young men, or boys, last night,
and the young gentlemen are now in
Jail charged with burglary. About 8
o'clock last evening Captain Leyden re-
ceived telephone message from John
l.. Carroll who conducts a grocery
store at 126 West Park street, telling
him Mr.. Carroll was of the opinion he
had had burglar or was about to
have one. Captain Leyden went down
and examined the premises and found
where a hole had been cut in a cellar
door at the rear through which a
man could reach his hand and draw
the bolt of the door. AS nothing SEEM
ed disturbed, it was concluded that
preparations had been made for visit
later, and officers were stationed to
watch.
About midnight Captain Leyden and
Sergeant McGrath concluded to walk
around and see what the prospects
were. Going quietly down the alley in
the rear of the stores on the south side
of Park street, they came suddenly
upon three persons standing in the
rear of place two or three doors from
side them were hams, canned goods
and all sorts of provisions.
When taken to the city Jail the three
gave the names of Joseph Ensign, Jo-
seph Knox and Harry Perkins. They
were all about II years of age, and
said they had been on their way to
the Big Hole on a camping expedition,
and had stopped in the alley for a
legitimate purpose, leaving their horse
and wagon in charge of a fourth par
ty. They denied having robbed the
store. and claimed they merely STOP
ped by accident beside the goods that
were found. Captain Leyden is sat
isfied the portion of the story relative
to going camping is correct, but not
the claim of innocence, and that the
boys were laying in a stock of sup
plies for the trip. Captain Leyden
now knows the store had been robbed
when he first visited it, and the pro-
visions had doubtless been placed in
the alley to be hauled away at a con-
venient time. The one selected, how
ever, proved very inopportune.
