The dude ana the Artist.

Paris Is laughing over how an artist
got even with a dude who. having sat
for his picture, was so dissatisfied with
the result that he refused TO pay for 1t.
The Count de x. recently had a crayon
picture Of himself made. which he
afterward pretended to ind fault with.
''It does not bear the slightest resem-
blance to me-" he said, "and will not
take IT." The artist protested. but all
to no avail. "All right. monsieur" he
remarked finally, "if It is not at all like
you, of course can't reasonably ex-
pect to get paid for It." After the
count had gone the painter added to the
portrait q magnificent pair of ass ears
and exhibited It to the gaze Of the
curious public. It had not been long
so exposed when the count broke into
the artists studio In q towering rage
and. finding that threats availed him
nothing, at last offered to buy 1t at =
egnsfderable advance upon the original
pSdee.
"It was NOT strange that you failed
to recognize your resemblance to the
picture at nrst," said the painter. de-
termined to be revenged for the slight
put upon his work. "But knew you
would notice the likeness as soon as I
added those ears"

Advantages of Soaked Corn for Feed

For two years We have soaked all the
corn fed to hogs, whether shelled or on
the ear. writes o. q. Wiggin, Charlotte
county, Va, in the southen Planter. We

pertinent Station.
l take it that the chief advantage in
soaking corn lies in the better mastica-
tion who the animals give the kernels.
i find that the teeth Of pigs saon be-
come sore when fed continuously on
hard corn. When fed on the ear, the
front teeth become sore that they can

Pumpk,ns for Cows

Juiiciously planted in the c0rntield,
crop of pumpkins can be raised as y
sort Of donble crop that will make a
most excellent food for COWS in winter,
says correspondent to the American
Cnltivator. The value Of root crops is
we'll known in helping to regulate the
bowels of the stock when fed heavily
on grain in the winter. Pumpkins
come under the same class, and they
should he fed for about the same pur-
pose. Nature seems to have designed
the pumpkins for the corntield, for one
can raise just enough to feed with the
crop of corn produced on the same land,
In addition to this. the pumpkins fur
nish excellent food for chicks. 1t is
better for the stock to have the seeds
removed, and 1t is bstter for the poultry
to have the seeds crushed, ground or
broken. The feeding of pumpkins will
largely decide their merits. To let the
stock eat them in the field is great mis-.
take. Gather them all for winter food,
and wait till other succulent food has
disappeared. Then commence to feed
the pumpkins gracually, increasing the
quantity until the full diet is reached.
One large pumpkin or two small ones
per day for each animal is a liberal diet,
and sufficient to keep the system in ex-
cellent condition. They should not be
fed in large pieces, for there is danger
of the cows getting choked with q
large lump. Cows actually break off
and loosen their teeth trying to break
up pumpkins fed to them in large
pieces. 1t is not difficult work to
break the pumpkins up and
then chop them fine with q sharp spade.
Put them in wooden tub, and in q
few minutes free use of the spade will
reduce them to- small pieces. When
first broken open, scoop out all the In
side part, thus removing the seeds,
which sometimes prove dangeroue to
the cows. Put the seeds and pulp in
which they are buried in a sausage
grinder and grind them up into small
pieces. The seeds will thus be crushed,
80 that the chickens can eat them with.
lont sny. danger. Theywiii slso eat the
pulp itself. This practice IL certainly
recommended BY the chickens, which
enjoy the feast and look forward to the
ground pumpkin IL thus. utilized, and
one can obtain winters supply Of
good food for both stock and chickens
rom the cnrntiald without much extra
cost for labor. Those who do not plant
pumpkin seeds freely inthe cornfield
lose far more than they realize, and
miss q chance to get double profit from
the land

teeth, which prevent them from crush
ing their grain.
l believe VIZ are saving twenty per
cent of grain by this simple practice.
We never allowed the soaked corn to
become sour. 1t is well to have two
barrels to use on alternate days. If the
weather be very hot, the corn should
not remain in soak more than twelve
