and Topped and banged me about Until

afternoon stroll, and 1 had to follow
him. He kept to the path for about
half mile, and then turned into the
fields. He led the way, up hill and

logs, and as l followed him with rivers
of perspiration running down my legs

Mr.. Muldoon wouldn't permit of it. He

There was no strolling or wandering.

SANITARY HOG HOUSE.
Dry, sunshiny Quarters Are Abso-
IuteIy Necessary to the Steady
Health of Swine.

In some of the counties of Illinois
half of the hogs often die on account of
disease. In Iowa severe losses are re-
ported. Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri report loss, but to smaller
extent. Kentucky is comparatively
free. Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
Dakotas are usually light sufferers. 1t
is seen from this that disease is most
prevalent where there are the most
hogs. The massing of animals together
and crowding them with so caEboG-
aceous food as corn is an invitation
to disease to come and reap heavy har-
vest. The surroundings become unsan-
itary, disease germs multiply fast, the
system is enfeebied by damp, unwhole-
some surroundings, and it is not sup
prising that bad results follow.
One of the best germicides knoxn is

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Hogs sometimes get seasick travelling
on the cars.
A horse broad in the forehead will
generally be intelligent and kind.
Standing on bare, hard floors cannot
but be injurious to the horses feat.
Arrange the windows in the stable so
that the light will strike both eyes with
equal force.
Small, unstable, cooked potatoes are
good for the hogs; mix with skim milk
and little corn meal.
The purer the race of the parent, the
more certainty there is of transmitting
its qualities to its offspring.
When giving horses rest, give them
the full benefit by making their guar,
ters as comfortable as possible.
A sloppy, watery mess should never
be given young pigs, for by gorging
themselves with it, they become pot
bellied, have indigestion and scours.
Drones and queens are perfectly
harmless, and may be handled as safe
ly as fly. Queens have stings, but use
them only on their kind and in rivalry
with other queens. Drones do not have
stings, and no manner of defense.
Drones are the male bees; queens are
females.
