1t is too dangerous to take the risk
OF driving fat hogs this time of year.
You can save time and trouble by using

Hogs are filthy generally because
they are compelled to be so. No ami

Ring the hogs if it is actually neces-

Shade is an absolute necessity for

Never get so busy as to neglect your

Don't hesitate to ask your neighbor
how he manages his hogs if he makes

structiOn and Inside Arrange-
ment of Pens.

Why is it that the nature of the hcg
has been so misunderstood? He does
not thrive on filth, his pen and his food
should be clean, and there is one other
point that has been too often lost sight
of, his pen should not be dark and dis
NAL. The hog likes sunlight. The
Maryland experiment station says
that the hog is an animal to which sun
chime is just as essential as it is to the
corn plant. Neither corn nor pork can
be successfully produced without
plenty of sunshine. In this latitude
and farther north this sunshine in win
ter will have to be brought into the
pens through glass, but farther south,
under normal conditions, it is only nec-
essary to face the pen to the south;
allow the suns rays to reach the back
of the pen on the beds and give good
shelter and protect from the north and
west winds. In constructing the hog
pen for the station, the following
points have been observed: ~ 1t IS
faced to the south so as to permit the
rays of the sun to shine upon the beds
of the pigs at the extreme rear end of
the pen in the winter season and also
to give shade in that portion in sum-
mer. (2) The lattice construction be-
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admit of free circulation of air in
warm weather. (3) The location OF
the manure pit in the center and below
the level of the sleeping and feeding
floors. with all the drainage below it,
aids materially in maintaining a prop
err sanitary condition. a. Swinging
gates close the pigs into their beds
while the manure is being loaded. 90
The manure pit is concreted, which en-
ables the saving of all liquid increment
which, with the pig, amounts to 81 per
cent. of the total manure value. co.
Feed bins are placed in front of each
pen, which facilitates feeding and en-
ables keeping different feeds for each
pen if desired. Some of these require
ments may seem pretty nice for swine
according to the old ideas, but they are
correct and important to success in
raising the best pork.

adopted that has proved quite pop
ular among those who are not quite
sure of their minds in a matrimonial
way. This new method was invented
by chaperon at Newport and she
has received the blessings of all the
young men and women who desire to
keep in the center of the social whirl
1t is very simple and by following
the directions the most timid d1bu-
tant may stand in the same row
with her stronger-minded sisters and
display on her proIrenades on the
beach a barred arm bearing the I'M
tails of the young man who has
posed as her escort for the season.
Of course, it is not exactly the real
thing. 1t is like a fash of light COM
pared to the sun, or a paste diamond

substitute it viii do very well.
The imitation tattoo has also this
advantage; 1t can be made much
larger and therefore much more SEN
sational. The receipt for making il
is this:
he initials desired to be repro
duced are cut out of court plaster
and pasted on the arm. Then the
candidate sits on the beach with her
m exposed for several days. All
except the part covered by the court
plaster is tanned dark brown and
when the strips are removed the mi.
tials appear in a lighter shade. This
method is q very good one, indeed
for a summer resort. If the young
lady-as young ladies' sometimes do
should happen to quarrel with her es-
cort. or for other reason should de-
sire to make a change, the sun will
soon help her out of her difficulty as
far as his initials are concerned and

As a substitute for the India ink
proposition the sun initials are sue
cess. But the old mar on the Bowery
continues to be in demand, which is
a very good argument for the stab;l-
ity of the young women in New York
society. While the tattoo marks are
indelible, the young ladies' who af-
feet them are careful to have them
placed on the side next the body and
well up toward the shoulder so that
they will not mar the beauties of a
shapely arm displayed at social
functions. Moreover, the designs are

before the mast. His prices, too, cor
respond with his skill. For a small
design no bigger than the tip of ones

charge 500. But the smart set must
have a fetch. So while it lasts the

Food Affects the Wool.

Deep pastures or lowlands are net
conducive to the health of sheep, as
they prefer upland pastures and
great variety of grasses. 1t is known
that the quality of the food and the
pasture has more influence on the
wool than does climate. Fat sheep
Proouce heavier and coarser feeces
than do those that are poorer in flesh.
That the food is an important factor
in affecting the Quality of wool is
shown by the fact that when fine wool

who follow the fads. The tattooing
of the arms of young women of so>
ciety was very popular few years
ago. Then it dropped out of vogue.
But this season it has been taken up
again with renewed favor by the
Newport set, and Newport after all,
you know, leads the fashion.
Formerly it was the proper thing
to have star, rose, or some fanci-
full design tattooed upon ones arm.
Now, to be perfectly correct, it must
be initials. And these mean some
thing. They must be the initials of
the young lady's fiauce. That means
constancy. indeed, for what young
lady would have indelibly stamped
upon her arm the initials of man
she did not fully intend to marry?
1t is taken as foregone conclusion,
therefore, when a pretty girl has the
first letters of a young mans name
on her arm that young man viii be
her partner for life. 1t is more bind
ing than the most ironclad contract
that the shrewdest lawyer could
evolve. 1t goes without saying that
in order to be fully effective tho
young man in the case has the mi,
tials of his sweetheart also pricked
in his arm.
But while the old sailors custom
ers are numerous not all the young
people who visit him have initials
placed upon their arms. Many OF
them will not take the chances of
Newport engagements. Instead, they
carry out the fad by resorting to the
old style. and order some small ard
neat design.
