The undeveloped and the savage
uiind loves practical joke that causes
injury. To tie rope across path or
place brick over u door SO that the
next person passing may get hurt is de-
lightful to such a mind. The civilized
mind prefers more delicate llumor.
Hazing is nothing but coarse practicm
Joking carried to the extreme. 1t is
absurd to look upon 1t from any other
point of view. Boys and young men
are not disinterested enough to prac-
tice hazing merely for the good of the
hazed. Unless the hazers could get
their elemental kind of enjoyment from
1t, they would stop it and look for "fun',
elsewhere. That hazing is not neces.
sary in order to make brave men is
shown by the fact that the American
patriots who made Valley Forge i'm
mortal were mostly ,unhazed farmers.
And the Beers, who will be famous as
fighters for all time, have know1isnotl,-
Ing of the hazing folly. The cases Of
Breth and BooZ should be enough TO
compel the West Point authorities to
stop the practice.

Use of n srpl,on.

A syphon may be used for raising
water over an elevation of twenty-four
or twenty-siX feet, but no more. The
principle of the action of the syphon
Is this: The atmospheric pressure on
any surface is equal to the weight of
column of water thirty feet high. So
that, in vacuum, when the air is eX-
hausted. column of water thirty feet
high will rise by the pressure of the
air on the source of supply to it. Thus
a pump, made oir-tight, will draw
water out of well thirty feet deep,

The Denver Stockman predicts that
in few years there will not be herd
of cattle in the country outside of
Texas numbering more than 5000
head. Probably this is safe predic-
ton. There are only Il few of the big
companies left in the West. The ten
dency is toward smaller herds, better
care and better cattle throughout the
range country. The small cattleman
prevails because he is best adapted to
the country and to the business in
these days of limited pasture, winter
hay feeding and improved blood on the
range.

feel joyous over the demand for good
horses, both Mt home and abroad.
The great complaint of the dealers is
that they find it difficult to keep up TO
the demand.
Those who breed and handle good
horses will have long period of pros
perity.
Go out to the fairs and shows and
some good, large markets, and see
what is called for. and you will be
cured of breeding scrubs, and your
eyes will be oened.
One of the best devices know of Is
the safety strap attached to the ends
o. the shafts.
Take Il screw-eye and put 1t exactly
in the middle end of each shaft. Sew
or rivet a half.inch strap in each eve
and join them in the middle with a
buckle. When your horse is hitched
up, buckle this strap and you will find
1t impossible for him to catch the rein
under the shafts or TO run the shafts
through the ring of the bit. 1t is in
valuable in fly-time, or in breaking
colts. Once used you will have them
on every rig.
Wise horsemen employ less of corn
or meal and more of oats in warm
weather
Horse stalls should be either four or
six feet wide. If five feet the animal
is likely TO get fast. Four feet is too
narrow to get fast and six is wide
enough TO freely roll in. Have the
stalls wide if possible, for your horses,
like yourself, will work better after a
comfortable rest

The Hacon Type.

of hog which the bacon market requires
has perhaps been the main reason why
it is generally accepted that it costs
more per pound to raise hog Of the
bacon type than one of the lard type.
1t is not commonly thought that the
hogs of the bacon type are improved
breeds. 1t is generally supposed that
they are hogs having all the character
fstics of the razor-backed native hogs
that represent all that is undesirable
for feeding purposes. The first point
necessary TO make clear is that thin
hog is not in any sense Il bacon hog.
In the bacon hog 1t is desirable to have
about one and a half inches of fat with
an abundance of lean flesh in the car
cass. 1t is flesh muscle or lean meat
that is desirable and not in any sense a
thin carcass. An important point
among the desirable characteristics of
the bacon hog is that of form. Tie
side should be as long as possible, with
great depth, and levelness from Shout
der to hip should he the leading charac-
teristic. The shoulder should not bulge
out and the hams should not be pendant
and plump as in the case of the lard
hog. If straight edge is laid along
the side of the typical bacon hog it
should touch every point from the start
of the shoulder to the end of the hind
quarter.
