ButcherinR Hogs,

Butchering hogs has many disagree
able features, but some of these, par
ticularly the lifting of the hogs before
and after dressing, can be robbed of
many of their objections by having a
convenient arrangement for scalding,
scraping, cleaning and hanging. One
arrangement for tightening labor in
this way is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The farm sled can be used
as the scraping platform b. The scald-
Ing vat may be any large barrel
which will hold water. Securely block
and brace 1t so that it will not be dis
placed in putting the hog in md taking
1t out. In the iron kettle, C, the water
is heated. The hog is killed and drawn
along the side of the scraping platform
opposite the iron kettle. Instead of
lifting the carcass onto the platform by
band, make use of the pivotal lever at
tached to the post d. Place chain
about the hind legs of the hog hook the
short end of the lever into this chain
and the hog is lifted easily. The post d
is equally distant from the platform b
and posts G, and f.

all the hair removed put in the gam

TREATY OBLIGATIONS

We Have No Agreement with Any Ma
ton Which Cannot Easily Be Abro-
gated in the Interest of a Restored
Merchant Marine.

To yield is to submit; to submit is to
become subordinate; to become subor-
dinate is to generate nerveless ma
tionless courage. Such seem to be some
OF the sequences of the war of 1912, of
the peace treaty and conventions fol-
lowing. England forced that war, that
she might destroy our shipping power.
We made our fight for free trade and
sailors rights and our battles won
merited better reward than failure to
secure their object, and to lose our ship
Protection besides. England got her
desire shaped for accomplishment, not
by whipping our armies, or by captur-
ing our ships and seamen, but by bold
and diplomatic fencing with our yield
ing and submissive government. Our
shipping power being now reduced to
zero, British statesmen patroniZe and
fiatter u.s. Our legislators are present
ed with rattle; our press is given a
straw. All at once commercial conven-
tons become sacred things. Our flow
ing courage drips from our finger ends,
and the prospect of shipping restora-

When the peace treaty of 1914 came
to be considered the battle of Waterloo
had been fought and Napoleon made a
prisoner of war. Great Britain, flushed
with victory, would not agree to any
stipulation respecting the impfessment

Our agreement of July 8, 1915, was not
treaty in the proper sense, but ICON
vention' with time limit fixed. This
distinction Is important We have dis
charged every obligation to the full. 1t
Is our right under the convention itself
to cease its observance. Noah Web
ster thus defines conventions:
5. An agreement or contract less for.
NAL than, or preliminary to, treaty; an
informal contract as between commanders
of armies in respect to suspension of hos
tilities, or between States; also a formal
agreement between governments or sover-
eign powers; as a postal convention be.
tween two governments.
Whether called a treaty or conven-
ton, we have no agreement for perpet-
ual arrangements as to commerce and
navigation with any nation whatsoever;
but with all nations there is time limit
fixed, with annulment and abrogation
provided for on one years notice. If we
submit forever to arrangements that
have proved ruinous and degrading, we
have only ourselves and our Govern
ment to blame.

Guilty. We should have the manliness,
with ten times the population, wealth
and power, to resume our right and
perform our duty. 1t is a remark of
Jefferson that, "All experience hath
showL that mankind are more disposed
to suffer while evils are siderable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed"
This is all there is in the talk about

The Laugh La on Them.

One thing which is moving protec-
tionists to mirth just now is the spec
tacle of two or three of the fiercest
free trade newspapers in Massachu-
sets setting forth unanswerable dem
onstrations that the foreign commerce
of Great Britain Is and long has been
at a standstill, and that the scepter of
mercantile supremacy is swiftly pass
ing over to the United States. This Is
a monumental truth which has been
proclaimed In the Boston Journals ed
itorial columns time and time again for
these half-dozen years-and it never
failed TO turn these same free trade
newspapers purple ill the face with
fury. They have published reams of
copy" endeayoring to refute exactly
what they now assert as an original
discovery in their newborn zeal
against imperialism" 1t strikes us
that the Journal rather has the laugh
on it's headlong contemporaries

property that the political doctors tell
us about. The tenant farmers who are
anxious to rent land at rates that pay
an adequate remuneration on these
high values are evidently insensible to
the fact that producers no longer have

These things are happening every

Memorial Gift Library for Kenosha-
Tired Boy Kills HimseIfLPolice
Chief Slain-Boy's Life Saved by
Promptness.

A library, to cost 100000 when com.
pleted and filled with locks, is to be pre-.
scented to the city of 4,enosha by z. G.
Simmons, president of the First National
Bank, who has already done much for the
advancement of the place. The offer was
made the other day in letter to the presi-
dent of the Council. In his letter Mr.
Simmons says that he has decided to build
and give to the city a library building OF
sufficient size to hold more than 10000
volumes. The structure will BE- of 81 one
steel and hard wood, fireproof, and will
stand in the city park. He will also
place in the building when completed al
least $4,000 volumes of well-assorted
books, on condition that the library be
named ''The Gilbert Simmons Library
in memory of his dead son. The only pro
vision is that the city to accept the library
must agree to levy and collect the l mill
tax provided by law on taxable property
in the city, this tax fund to be used first
in paying the expense of maintaining the
library and in the purchase of additional
books.

Saddle Horses.

The favor in which Kentucky saddle
bred horses are now held in the East,
consequent upon repeated victories In
the show rings, will surely encourage
even closer attention in the breeding
districts to the production of high class
horses. The fact that the East prefers
walk-trot-canter horse to one that has
all the accomplishments is in favor of
the breeder and trainer, as it Is mach
less work to finish the horse of the
lesser education. Type. weight carry
ing and blood and saddle horse in
stincts and intelligence are what is
wanted, and the breed of saddle horses
chiefly fostered In Kentucky and Mis-
souri, is abundantly able to furnish all
these requirements. Action should not
be overlooked-not the action of a high
stopper, but clean, true, attractive and
balanced fore and aft. Front action
that comes from the shoulder is de-
manded, while the hooks should follow
promptly. OF all horses a saddle horse
needs a leg always under him. There
is bright future for breeders of the
saddle horse.-Breeders' Gazette.

A Stitch i'm Time

The weekly mending is always so
much of bore that the happy thought
of applying the old adage, "a stitch in
time" to this dreaded task has set me
wondering why | have allowed myself
to be troubled so long. Upon my dress
ing table keep in a little tray a needle,
thread and some darning cotton. Every
night when / remove my stockings
look them Over-a glance suffices-and
! find the little holes that begin to come
vastly easier to mend than the yawn-
ing caverns that would otherwise be
awaiting me on Tuesday. And so it Is
with other things. Sewing on button
or catching together tiny rip here and
there takes scarcely a minute, but the
sum total of these rips and buttons
would make q large inroad upon one
precious week day morning otherwise
Perhaps this scheme will not commend
itself to mothers. Certainly a half
dozen pairs of stockings, big and little,
could not be mended every morning
before breakfast, but it is admirable

We are so used to regarding the

must look quite different,

piled with a pair of compound eyes
with hundreds of facets, each capable
of sight by itself, and several occelli,

How these eyes are used, what are
their separate functions, what sort of
images they can present to.their own
ers. all remain questions interesting
and well nigh unsolved as. they were
before the days of our powerful micro
scopes.
Notwithstanding the fact that nun
dreds of entOmologists have been and
are interested in this subject. we yet
are only at the stage where we can
affirm that the honey bee sees very
different flower from the one in which
we observe her in search for sweets,
although of what that difference Is and
how it is produced we can form but lit

The cheapest way to clear piece of
land covered with small brush is to pas
