Tenching Chicken. TO Eat.

Some people have good deal of trou-
bic with brooder chicks in teaching
them TO eat. When they have hen with
them the work is easy. but without a
hen the task appears to be difficult.
Bat really there will be no trouble if
the o~ner has a few chicks that have
been taught by the old hen or have
learaed themselves. Simply put some
of these young chicks with the others
and the lesson will be soon taught

THE HOG INDUSTRY.
f1Sures showing That POr[ers Are
the Most Profitable Stock the
Farmer Can Raise

The last few years have brought the
hog industry forward almost, if not
quite, on an equal with the cattle in
dustry, although the two industries
should go hand in hand. The hog of
the past was looked upon as merely a
scavenger, and not as an object of
profit, unless he could be kept upon
food such as no other animal would
eat. And in some farmers estima-
tion they have not advanced one per
cent. up to the present time, regard
less of the lessons which well con-
ducted experiments have taught the
reading farmer. My experience with
hogs, although very limited, has
proven 20 my entire satisfaction that
hogs are the most profitable stock a
farmer can keep. One good brood
sow properly handled, will pay for
herself twice every year. | have one
SOW that brought me eight pigs last
June, The sow and pigs were kept on
alfalfa until August, when the pigs
were started on grain. They were
given soaked barley first and this was
gradually changed to corn. Those pigs
were marketed when six months old,
and weighed little over 200 pounds
each; they brought me about $65. /
have seven more pigs from that sow,
that will weigh about 40 pounds each
and she will bring me another litter
of pigs in June. Now, this is only
one sow, and an average of my herd

Ants Made n Bridge,

A naturalist found that some black
ants were devouring the skins of some
bird specimens on a table, so he made
tar circles on four pieces of paper and
put one under each leg of the table.
Pretty soon he found the ants busily at
work again, and, looking at the tar
circles, found each one was bridged by
bits of sand which the clever ants had
brought in from the street.

level. and are going down depth OF thirty
feet, almost constant blasting being re-

the costly shades and curtains were torn
into tatters.
The rocks hit a large Russian cabinet

Parasites in Oyster Beds.

CHESTERTOWN, Nd. Sept 26.-Ches-
ter River oystermen are reporting unfa>
vorable conditions On many of the bars
the oysters are covered by great clusters OF
mussels. In ell cases where the mussels
abound the oysters are in poor condition.
These parasites render the oysters unsala-
bic. They die much saoner after being
taken from the water than the oysters and
cause an intolerable and sickening odor
The same conditions existed fifteen years
ago. No special cause can be assigned for
the mussels being on some shallow bars
while deep-water beds are exempt, and in
other cases the shallow beds being exempt
while deep-water oysters are covered It
is thought that when cold weather arrives
the mussels will drop off. as they did if-
teen years ago.
