Breeding hogs need little exercise
every day to keep them in the very best
condition, says The American Guilt
yator. but how are they to get it in
this climate, when the yards and all
spots out of doors are covered with
snow for three months at a time? If
even a wheelbarrow load day of good
fresh horse manure is thrown In a yard
for any three that are yarded together.
they viii spend much time In roofing
it over, especially If they find a grain
of corn or few oats ia it often enough
to keep them interested. We do not
want fattening hogs to have anything
to induce them to root. nor would we
allow the breeding stock to sleep on
the manure heap. which is one of the
reasons why we do not advise keeping
hogs in barn cellar. Another is that
we do not like manure cellar under
the barn. The barn cellar If there is
one, may do to store roots In and to put
away carts. plows and other heavy
tools if it is dry enough. but then we
would like a good cement floor for it.
Another reason is that we want the
animals to have sunlight when they
can, and if the hogs are in a separate
building with an open yard they will
be out great deal when the weather
is pleasant. even In winter, if it is cold.
We want to keep the SOW gaining a
little every day from the time she Is
bred until she farrows and yet to guard
against her being too fat. This can
easily be regulated by the food given.
If little care is taken.

ing until such a time as there is no
danger of the strong pigs stealing from
the weak.
In herd of sows there is often one
that is not as good mixer as the 9TH
ers. In case of this kind nature does
not limit the number of pigs to suit the
supply of milk She is as apt to pro
duce as numerous litter as the best
mixer in the herd. The result is that
these little fellows are always hungry
and spend much of the time pulling at
their mother. If the SOW is In a house
with several others with filters, these
hungry, restless fellows will cause
much unrest with the others. We have
often noticed that when one litter of
pigs begins to trail after their dam
for their feed the filters of the herd
are almost sure to take up the cry and
in a short time all the sows are down
and the pigs sucking. When the sows
and their filters are separated until
the pigs are at least / month old, it is
much easier to feed each SOW properly
and get the pigs to eating. And, more
than this, 1t is conducive to better
thrift and health.
For single houses to be used in this
way we should want them portable or
of material that could be torn to
pieces and removed when not in use.
The latter is the least expensive and
within the reach of every farmer able
to own two or more brood sows.

Barnurn,s Excuse.

P. t. Barnum's propensity for practi-
cal joking began early to assert itself.
Once a man was on trial in a local
court for small misdemeanor. Learn
ing that he had no money to hire law
yer, Barnum offered to conduct his de-
Tense. With great solemnity he made
lengthy plea in which he virtually
accused his client of being guilty of
half the crimes on the calendar, end
ing with recommendation to the mer-
cy of the court on the ground of un-
sound mind.
The man. though escaping with a
merely nominal sentence, was furious
at the trick that l.ad been played on
him. He was finally appeased by Bar
NUNS explanation that he had pre-
pared a defense for two different eli
ents and had in his case delivered the
wrong plea. Maitland Leroy Osborne

A DOMESTIC EPISODE.

The Wife's Artistic Decoration of
the Little Drawing Room.
When he got home that night, she
confronted him at the door, and he
gasped with horror She was not
dressed for dinner, and she had one
arm In sling. Both thumbs were
done up in huge bandages. There was
a towel tied around her tousled head
and cut over one of her eyes. The
odor of liniment was heavy on the air.
For heavens sake what has hap

Without a word she led the way into
the little drawing room. Over the
cushioned couch oriental draperies had
been dispersed artistically with spears
and armor, forming a beautiful, coy
corner. A lamp. burning dimly, hung

"Oh. just a piece of lead pipe, a few

simply, yet proudly. 81 only fell off

There We're almost tears In his voice
when he spoke. 1t really touched him
to see her standing there bandaged like
broken down race horse. Besides
that, no one knew how he had dreaded

An interesting anecdote of Charlotte
Bronte is recalled by Mrs. Humphry
Ward in her biographical Introduction
to "Vilette" In 1851 the authoress,
having refused repeated invitations to
London, on the ground that having
done no work she deserved no treat,
finally consented to pay a short visit
to the family of her friend and pub
Usher, Mr.. George Smith.
Thackeray was at this time at the
height of his popularity in London, and
Miss Bronte arrived in time to hear
his second lecture on the English hui
morists.
When it was over, Thackeray, who
had recognized the timid little woman
sitting by Mrs. Smith, came down
from the platform, and, shaking hands
with Miss Bronte, asked her how she
liked it. There are few persons who
would not have been fiattered by such
an attention, but Miss Bronte, on the
contrary, was almost offended by it,
and when she introduces a similar in
cident in "YiIette" she comments on
the restlessness and the lack of de-
sirable self control on the part of the
lecturer.
