1t is a great comfort for hogs and
may be made mos '.seful to rid them
of lice and a scaly skin If put up as
follows: Drive a stout stick three
inches in diameter in suitable place,
leaving twenty inches above ground:
staple d rope four inches from earth's
surface to the stake and coil it closely
till 1t reaches three inches from the top
OF the stake; staple 1t tightly. Pour
cosl oil or crude petroleum on it until
1t is we'll saturated with it, and the
hogs or shoats will fight for the first
and last rub On it. Pour more oil on
occasionally as needed. This will kill
oil lice and nits and remove scales that
are SO unsghtly upon the hogs. 1t has
been tried and works well.-Twentieth

Original idea About Asparagus.

original idea About Asparagus.
A consensus of opinion in regard to
cutting asparagus, as noted in Nee
hans Monthly, seems to be that from
the first -tarting of the plant in spring
the weaker shoots should not be cut,
but left to produce the LEAKAGE so neces-
sary for the production of strong roots.
One gardener makes the novel sugges-
tion that the very best success in get
ting first-class asparagus is to select
the plants all of one sex. His plan has
been to set 1-year-old plants in bed
rather closely together and mark the
berry-bearing or female plants for the
permanent bed. These, he says, have
always borne strong shoots far superior
to the beds of the usually mixed sexes.

Mares bred in the fall will endure
good service without injury.
A dumb. stupid cot can never be ed

Money in Fences.

An article In the Cosmopolitan calls

figures that Indiana alone has fences
whose computed value is S200,000,000
and which if placed in single line
would fourteen times encircle the
globe. These figures suggest the enor'
nous amount of capital invested in

The Fad for old Jewelry.

Among the many reyivals of old
fashions for the beginning of the new
century none is more decided than the
fancy for old jewelry; the older and
quainter the better. Old ornaments of
all kinds are available if only they be
good of their kind. The rage for such
things in Europe is extreme; Partisan
goldsmiths are reproducing antique
tewelry. and in England the pawn
brokers shops are raIlsacked for what
has escaped the melting pot. Grea :

gold or paste-make the most desirable
of belt-buckles, while nothing in neck
wear is more stylish than a band of
velvet ribbon fastened with an old
shoe-buckle. Fashionable women who
have inherited the ornaments of past
generations are bringing forth such
treasures. and taking them to the jew
elers to be adapted. Most of them
need to haze something done to them
before they can be worn, but none of
them are altered or reset.-Woman' s
