man who moved into the suburbs
Of Missouri city purchased a brood
SOW and went to raising pigs as a side
line. He had no facilities for grow
ing TO mature age the pigs he raised
and so sold them to the farmers
around him as soon as weaned. He
got about So each for these pigs. The
SOW had two litters. Of and Q pigs
respectively, aud raised all Of the little
ones to weaving age. The total
amount received tor the pigs was S47.
Cost of keerine SOW during the year
was s22 This showed a profit Of S25,
and the man goes on to say that there
is no reason why the farmers around
him should not do as well and each Of
them keep from 20 to 25 brood sows.
This shows the reasoning OF the anna
teur. The keeping Of two or three
brood sows is net a big operation. and
doubtless the man attended to his SOW
himself and saved the hire Of a man.
But when 1t comes TO multiplying the
cost and labor by 25 the>problem is an
entirely different one. The sale OF a
few pigs at So each Is not a big task.
The sale Of hundreds at the same rate
is a colossal undertaking. When a few
pigs are to be sold the farmers come
and take them away in their wagons,
but II hundreds OF pigs are to be sold
the purchasers must, many OF them,
live so far away that the pigs have to be
sent BY freight or express with attend
ant expenses OF boxing and the like.
These are added elements Of expense
that cannot be avoided. They are not
few but many, and that Is the reason
why large operations are less profit
able than small ones. The practical
farmer understands these things, and
because he understands them he some
times finds it more profitable to buy
two pigs at 50 each than to go into
the business OF raising pigs. for we
should never lose sight OF the fact that
a good many men are not adapted to
that kind OF business. Most Of US are
one-sided TO such an extent that we.
are not able to turn to every kind OF
business and make a speciality out Of
It. The successful hog raiser is the
man that understands his business and
finds pleasure In It.

The author Of sport and Travel'
tells how he robbed an eagles nest in
Asia Minor. or rather how he man
aged to get it robbed for him. The
nest was about sixty seet from the
ground, on a perpendicular clin hun
dred and fifty feet high. He saws:
/ twisted three hundred feet OF half
inch cord into a strong rope of less
than half that length. and also made a
strong but light rope ladder out Of the
ropes from the pack-saddles. / then
sent four men to the top Of the clin.
70 let down the long rope directly over
the eagles nest. The rope ladder was
attached to the end OF It. and drawn
over the open space where the nest
lay. This was held In place by another
rope tied TO a tree at the bottom Of the
eliI. There was now no difficulty in
approaching the nest. and no danger
so long as the rope held. although OF
course the sensation OF being daneled
at the end Of a long rope IS more or
less unpleasant until one gets accus-
toned 70 it. Mustapha reached the
nest without difficulty. and brought
down the two eggs in a handkerchief
neid between bis teeth. We watched
the nest all day. and found that the
mother eagle did not return. We had
disturbed her on the previous day. and
80 she had evidently deserted Fher
home.-1ouths' Companion.
