HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Keep no stale stock en- your pastures,
but let them be less in quantity and OF
a better quality. and will see better re-
suits.
II we are naturally inclined to hogs
it would be very unwise to buy land
that would not grow corn. because corn
and hogs are inseparable.
To begin TO fatten lean hogs witlSaic!:
food from the start is wasting. Full
rations of corn or peas ought to be left
for the finishing Of .ne process.
If at the end of six or seven weeks the
piggies are growing nicely and look
well, we may think of weaving. bu, it
should not be determined by their age.
but how they are eating and growing,
and their ability to take care of them
selves.
Another important point in success
full fatteniBg, and the sole end of hog
breeding is to obtain large quantity
of meat, of good quality, in as short
aspace of time as possible. A cheap and
quick fattening depends upon the
health and age Of hogs, as well as the
season and condition of the food.
Peas sown early in spring as possible
make good feed for hogs. This crop is
not appreciated by our farmers as it
should be, and they probably will be in
the near future. They are ready for
use just when the pasture begins to
fail and before any other farm crop is
available.-Western Plowman.

fine delicate stitches Of embroidery
fnery; It writes letters to her friends
and 1t guides the mallet which makes
music on her metalaphone. Miss Tuni-
sons tongue is very ruly member in
deed. Never having had the use Of her
hands, Miss Tunison has thrown her
full dependence upon the tongue,
which. through the loss Of oil other
members. is abnormally acute and
gifted.
Miss Tunison Is bright-faced wom-
an of 30. All day long she sits strapped
in a wheeled chair. specially construct
ed for her. A wide board Is attached
across the front. something like that
of child's high chair. This is her
work table and on it she has her boxes
of colored crayons, her work basket.

books and endless little odds and ends.
There too she has her writing pad and
several inch and half long pencils,
sharpened by some friendly hand.
When only four years old Miss Tunison
began to train her tongue into use
fulness. She would pick up buttons
with it from her little table and with
a string, also in her mouth, in some
way pass the cord through the eyelet,
amusing herself for hours stringing
buttons. Later she began to sew.
To see Miss Tunson thread Il needle

makes one half doubt ones own eyes.
First she takes the little needlebook
from out her work basket, laying it be-
fore her, then weight, specially made
for her purpose, is taken up by her
teeth and placed upon one-half of it
to hold it firm while she removes the
needle desired; this done, she sticks
It straight up in the table before her.
Then thread is wound off the re-
quired length and cut by means of
scissors manipulated in the same mar
velous way. Her tongue takes up the
thread and through its exquisite sense
of feeling passes it through the eye of
the needle in as short time as the
average steady hand and eye require.
The bit of cambria or linen on which
she is to eubroider is taken out and
unfoldcd in the same way and the
weight placed upon one corner of 1t
TO hold it down while sewing. Holding
the needle with her tongue she places
it where desired, then lifts and throws
back one corner of the cloth so as to
grasp the needle from the under side
and pull II through, making the stitch
complete. This she does over and over
again. tracing and working out the
most delicate designs and nearly al
ways without an outline, save what
comes spontaneously to her mind when

Small HOG Houses Best.

Ithas been proven conclusively by old
breeders that the small hog lDuse is the
best for the raising Of pigs. A house
eight by ten feet with lot TO itself is
better than large house where six to
ten sows with their pigs are kept. The
fences inclosing the different lots need
not be over 80 inches in height. just
high enough that you can easily step
over same without opening any gates.
Pursuing such q course will give you a

JACK FLYNN WAS NO MATCH FOR
LAFONTISE.

Several hundred spectators saw gamey
James Flynn GO down to defeat before
Nose LafOntise at the Butte Athletic
association rooms last night. 1t was the
best contest that has been given under
the auspices of the association, and while
the fighting was fast and furious it was
the cleanest and best natured exhibition
ever witnessed in Butte.
Flynn had an apparent advantage in
height, weight and reach, but was not
in form. while his smaller opponent was
in the pink of condition, hit harder,
landed %oftener, and proved to be a much
better man than his adversary.
The contest was limited to ten rounds,
Up to the sixth honors were about evenly
divided. Then the superior condition of
Lafontise began to tell. Early in the
seventh Flynn freshened somewhat and
placed a kidney jab SO effectively that
Lafontise fought on the defensive during
the remainder of the round. In the
eighth Flynn was very groggy, and in
the ninth was knocked down and was all
but out. He put up a game finish, fight
ing on the defensive, and was very weak
when the gong sounded at the end of
the tenth ound. The fight was awarded
to Lafontise.
