animals Of the farm are content to re-
main exposed to wet or cold, rarely or

Die, the pig Invariably selects a nice,
warm, dry place to which>he resorts in
bad weather, and for his sleeping place
a bed among the straw stacks or in a
snug building, where either of these is
available, is always utilized by those
pigs which are allowed to at
large and get most Of their living in
the yards and fields of the farm, and as
this is always the case whatever the
breed Of the pig may be it is sufficient
proof that q dry, comfortable bed and
warm, sheltered sty should be provid-
ed where It is intended to keep pigs in
confinement.

The State Department Does Not Desire to
Transfer Indemnity Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The announced
intention of the Turkish government to
transfer the conducting Of negotiations
regarding the American claims from
Constantinople to Washington has not
been manifested yet in any official form.
The department. of state is thoroughly
satisfied with the manner in which Mr..
Griscom, the United States charge at
Constantinople, has conducted his work
and has no disposition to change its
methods in the middle Of a negotiation
such as this. There have been no re-
cent exchange of notes nor of verbal
representations regarding the demands
recently and possibly this temporary
lul may be the foundation for the sup
position that the negotiations have been
transferred to Washington. At this
particular juncture the United States
has had the last say and is now await
ing a response from the Turkish gov
eminent to a very forcible presentation
Of the, reason why it should redeem the
s~ultan's promise made to Mr.. Strauss
and to his predecessors to pay Q r.the

Horses. Coats.

Nature provides the horse with a fine
and comparatively short coat for sum
mer wear and a coarser and longer one
for winter use, says the London Live
Stock Journal. The animal sheds the
former covering during the autumn
and the latter during the spring. The
hairs of the forelOck, and tail
and the long hairs about the muzzle
and eyes are not shed, Good grooming
and the use of warm clothing greatly
tend to reduce the difference between
the summer coat and the winter coat.
If while the coat is being changed in
the spring the brush or other ear be
employed to hasten the process, the
roots Of the hair viii become prema-
turely exposed to the action OF the air
and consequently will become stimu-
lated, with the result that coarser hair
will be formed than would have been
the case Ind the winter coat been nj
lowed TO remain on for It's usual pc
Rod. Hence the summer coat would
be rougher than It would otherwise
have been, and its appearance may be
more or less spoiled. TO prevent,
therefore, any loss OF good looks In the
summer coat of their animals grooms
who have to study appearances. like
those in charge Of fashionable carriage
horses In the London season, are gen.
orally CAREFUL to avoid brushing or
hand rubbing the coat while 1t Is being
shed during the spring.

Hogs and Hay.

#f(S@EHAEAx1 "a "a sSAs&&HatHTE8E+4H
AT the Kansas experiment station
hogs were fed on a ration Of alfalfa
hay and Kafhr corn meal. The hogs
fed in this experiment were bought OF
farmers and averaged in weight 125
pounds each. They were placed In lots
of ten each in large pens having for
shelter some sheds open to the south.
The alfalfa hay used was Of the best
quality, carefully cured. Black hulled
white Kafir corn vas the grain used,
the hogs being fed all that they would
eat without waste. The hay was fed
dry in forkfuls in a large fiat trough.
The pigs We're given more than they
would eat, and they picked out the
leaves and finer stems. rejecting the
coarser stems. One lot of hogs was
fed Kaffir corn meal dry and alfalfa
hay, Sone lot whole Kaffir corn dry and
one lot Kafir corn meal and Sc pounds
of alfalfa hay. the meal wet. The ex-
pertinent began on Nov. "a and lasted
nine weeks. By that timeSthe alfalfa
fed hogs became well fattened and
were marketed. We estimated that it
would require four or five weeks adj
ditional feed, with ordinary winter
weather, to get the hogs that were fed
grain alone into good marketable con

HABITS OF HOGS. :
THEY ARE INTELLIGENT ALL,
WAYS AND FASTIDIOUS WHEN
THEY HAVE A CHANCE.
iA.-.As..-.-....s-s-s.+

Hogs are not stupid, the proyerb and
the popular mind to the contrary not
withstanding, says the Washington
Post. In herds they are tremendously
gregarious. They feed and range and
sleep in gangs. Their leaf beds are
heaped together as Q as frost falls.
The older animals begin the heaping,
and the pigs quickly fall in line. At
first the mound is moderate, but when
cold OF now threatens it grows as If
by magic. Not only leaves, but low,
bushy brush and straWy sedge are
gnawed off and carried in great mouth
fuls to r~e-enforce the bed. If 20 hogs
are to sleep in it, it will be breast high
to a man before the accumulation
ceases. Then as soon as feeding is
over the hogs make a dash for it, bur
row under and bury themselves, head
and ears, in it's depths. They lie cross
and pile-any fashion, indeed, which
brings them as close together as posi-
BILE AS the cold strengthens in the
night those upon the outer edges push
themselves under and between their
sleeping mates, thus rousing them to
squeal discomfort.
Al sucking sow makes her own bed
and fights away from it everything ex-
cept her pigs. She heaps it conically,
| gets upon top, works herself half way
down in it, then whirls around and
around until she has followed for her
self and her piggies a snug nest. After
she lies down in it with her pigs strung
along her side she rises upon her fore
legs and with her snout firts the bed
stuff all over her litter. Upon a bitter
day the pigs do not leave the bed.
Hogs of every sort indeed lie asleep
through the cold unless driven out by
hunger.
Hogs learn quickly to discriminate.
They will set up a prodigious squeal.

whatever to any other person. They
also learn their W calls as distin-
guished from those Of other animals.
Up in the region of mountains and
moonshine whisky hogs are called with
long wooden trumpets, whose sound is
like that of a hunting horn, but more
powerful and carrying farther. Reye-
nue. vigilance is of course the horns
reason Of being-its blasts do not
awaken suspicion as would the usual
calling. The hogs ranging miles ,of
the trumpet a little before daylight
for their beloved swiIl, but cannot be
fooled by blasts of any other horn.
Similarly once upon a time three
pet pigs were trained to come for their
morning mush and milk at the sound
OF Dixie most vigorously sung. They
never failed to hear and heed, even
though half a mile off, yet paid no at
tention whatever to any other song OF
sound. Another pig, friendless and
estray, fell into the way Of feeding
with the cows in pen and until he was
Transmitted into bacon answered only
to the call Of "Sook GOVT Soo-ookr!,
And still another learned to regulate
feeding by the sound Of the big farm
bell and came grunting and galloping
to the trough whenever he heard its
clamor.
While a fat pig is about the LATEST

lean and hungry lis among the most

forager, the fence that turns him has

Mail Service Improved.

Washington, March 30.-A report has
been received at the postoffice depart
ment from Chief Clerk Kimball. at st.
Michael, Alaska, under date of Deem
Der 30. The fact that this report came
through is regarded as indicating a great
improvement in the service, as hereto
fore it was impossible to get mail from
that point after the first part of Novem-
Der. The clerk reports that mails left
st. Michael three times from October l
to December l and arrived three times
up to December %. On November 4 Mr..
Kimball left st. Michael for Nome with
about 300 letters for hat place, and 25
for Golovin bay. AS no provision has
been mad for any mail service from
Nome, he advertised to take all mail
matter from there to ST. Michael. Owing
to the fact that " number of private
had been Offering to take out
mail for from one to two dollars a letter,
he found it difficult to convince people
he would take letters for the regu-
lar rates of postage. However, he car
ried ava about 600 letters and nine
registered packages.
