boards 21a inches from floor to let feed
through; B, bottonA-boards 12 or 16
inches wide, and so placed as to let feed
slide down into trough. One end is re-
moved to show interior. Ties to keep
from spreading can be placed any
where, as indicated by dotted lines.
Stalls should reach down to floor and
be nailed thereto and also nailed to
side-boards. This stiffens side-boards.
This box is my own invention, having
never seen one before. 1 think this
will be plain and will need no further
explanation.
I find this box sufficient to iced 90
pigs, with no trouble. Of course only
20 can eat at time, but they soon fall
back and others take their places. 1
find this very good where pigs of differ
ent sizes run together. They all have
all the chance they want to eat, and the
food is never mussed over, but always
fresh, for it feeds down only as fast as
it is eaten away.
We do not fill the box full and then
go off on a vacation, but are with the
pigs several times day. We also have
self-feeder made out of salt barrel,
with a hole cut near the bottom. This
is to feed salt and ashes mixed, one of
salt to two of ashes. We have not self
.drinker yet, but would like to have one.
We have to carry water and let them
drink from trough. This is the only
reason we cannot go on vacation trip.
Now I would not advise feeding clear
corn from the feeder for one would
certainly overdo the thing and bad re-
suits would follow. But have seen
only good results from middings and
bran, and see no reason yet for abandon
ing the self-feeder.
My neighbor made one of these
boxes, and he tells me he is confident
it added $25 to the value of his hogs, be-
sides lessening the work. l think L

was the best way, but 1 knew it was the

Woman,s Independence.

The increase in the number of self.
supporting women, especially notice
ably in our large middle class, is Great
ing a new problem, the economic as well
as moral significance of which is inter-
esting, says Sara Y. Stevenson, in July
Lippincott's. If women became mems
intellectual equals whilst retaining
their moral superiority, serious COM
petition must be established, in which
the nonsmoking, nondrinking and gem
orally more orderly employe must sur
vive as the fittest in the struggle for ex-
istence. On the whole, however, the
close contact in which men and women
are brought through education and CO.
eXertion is beneficial to both. 1t adds
to Woman's strength, clearness of Judg-
ment and business capacity, whilst by
increasing his respect for womans un-
derstanding it tends to raise mans
moral standards to level nearer to her
own. Pessimists have claimed that the
new woman" in exchange for her re-

chlvalrous attentions granted to her
grandmothers. But so long as men and
women depend upon each other for love
and happiness there need be no fear OF
that. Indeed, such fear would imply
that modern man has stood still when
woman has progressed. Such thought
cannot be entertained. Man is not like
~ to refuse the dignifed, well-informed
woman who sympathizes with his high
est aims and who strives with him to at
tain them the physical protection and
the courtesy which he has so lavishly
bestowed upon the woman described
by Mr.. Kipling as the woman who
never could know and did not under
stand"

An Implement Used Successfully in

Every year we have questions about
methods for killing grasshoppers or

the agricultural colleges have been

stance, how embarrassing for a younc
girl to be made acquainted at dance
with an apparently eligible and un.
doubtedly attractive youth who, after
the polite formalities, suggests a stroll
through the conservatory in lieu of
dancing a certain number. What more
natural than the weaving of the ro-
mantle spell attendant upon moonlit
conservatories, murmuring palms.

fiancee." No, the girls say there isn't
a fair point about the existing condi-
ton. They advocate the wearing of an
engagement ring by the man just as an
engagement ring is worn by the wom-
an. No one ever mistakes an engaged
girl. Even without the ring, the air of
conscious superiority, of condescend-
ing good humor, would stamp the
young woman as mortgaged property.
And with the assistance and addition
of the ring there is absolutely no chance
for error. And what is true of engage
ments, so the girls contend, is even
more applicable after marriage. A
married man, wearing no badge of
servitude-if we except the guilty look
from the corner of the eye and the
criminal ane suspicion-arousing slap
ping of the letter pockets in i'm
minent danger of being engaged in
dangerous converse by womankind.
And, by the same token, womankind is
at times unwisely and unwittingly kind
| to the unlabeled married man. All en-
tangling alliances and dangerous COM
plications could be avoided by judicious
use of the ring. The custom, once
adopted by an accepted leader, would
undoubtedly rebound to the credit
everlasting of the pioneer. There is no
reason whatever why men should not
wear engagement rings and every rea-
son possible why they should. They
cannot object on the score of not ik-
ing such a decoration; no man objects
to wearing the badge of particular
office or a cross or medal won for some
heroic act Let men, therefore, when
they have won it wear loves badge
with greater pride and gladness than,
any other.

In a Hudson river town near New
York a blacksmith has given a new
idea to the rich and fashionable, and it
is gaining great popularity because of
the impression of luxury it creates. He
is equipping their horses with silver
shoes. These, kept by the grooms and
stablemen of the various country seats
in high state of polish, flash, simmer
and throw reflections in the sunlight
as the chargers and nettiesome riding
horses canter or gallop along. Silver
by itself is not sufficiently durable for
the purpose, and the shoes are really
of very heavy plate. The news of the
innovation spread quickly among the
rich, and it was not long before nearly
all of the wealthy neighbors of the
blacksmith had one, two or more of
their horses shod in silver.

Anna Bell, wife of j. Howard Scarf,
departed this life on Monday May 22d, at her
late residence, Taylor, aged tweDty-eight
years, after lingering Illness of consumption
The death Of Mrs. Scarf was especially sad
from the fact that little more than a year
ago, she was brought to her late home a
bright and happy bride. The deceased was
consistent member Of the Episcopal Church.
She adorned the doctrine of christian faith by
an upright consistent life. Death had no
terrors for her, she knew whom she had he
ieVed and she was fully persuaded that lie
was able to keep that which had been com
mitted to her against that day. Although
she bad mnch to live for, nevertheless she
was justfully submissive to the Divine will.
The funeral services were held at her late
residence on Wednesday afternoon, and her
body was laid to rest in Ebenezer NJ. E. church
yard, there to await the resurr, ction of the
just. The pall-bearcrs were Messrs. Howard
and Walter Patterson, Gill Pocock, William
