lie down in this suit-just got this
suit to come down here in-I could
lie down in that hog house and not
soil my clothes, and the man who
does not keep his hogs in that con-
dition ought to quit the business.
The hog is the cleanest domestic
animal We have, and if he is properly
cared for, there will not be one par
ticle of droppings or urine in that
hog house. They will set one corner
of into a kind Of closet, and they
will go back and forward to that.
Give them just room enough to lie
down, and no more. 1t is an adyan-
tage to have your hog house divided
of into pens. If you haven't enough
hogs to I'LL up your hog house, shut
of part of the space; give them just
enough room to occupy; and no more
You should keep your hog house
just as clean as this room. After
you have fed them, clean the feed
ing floor. l would no more think
of feeding my hogs on feeding floor

dishes without washing. have not
done it for thirty years. 1t is a
small matter.
We have wooden hoe, made out
of a 2x6, three feet in length; have
an old saw for the lower edge. This
is wide enough to sweep off three or
four feet at a time. If your floor is
smooth, and if you can do it imms.
diately after feeding, you can clean
it off as clean as if swept. BY having
the floor three or four feet high on
one side, you can clean it off, month
after month, and the refuse will not
pile up on you. No matter how wet
or muddy it is, if your hogs are con-
fined in this building their feed is
always clean. Feed your hogs corn
and water. l would feed few oats
and perhaps a basket or two of raw
potatoes once week, but my main
feed would be corn and cold water.
With shoats tits entirely different.
When you get the hog eighteen
months of age, you have got the bone
and muscle. Then you need fat
producing grain. Oats and shorts
make an ideal feed for young shoats.

AFTER MENHADEN MEN.
Maryland Game Association Says il
Ia to Protect Food Fisheries.


The Baltimore San says the laws
committee of the Maryland Game
and Fish Protective Association sub
mitted the results of its labors to
the executive committee meeting held
at the Eutaw House, Baltimore, No
vember 10.
The laws committee have two fish
bills and one game bill in readiness,
and these, when finally adopted, the
General Assembly will be asked to
pass, and will ask that the State
fishery police will carry out the laws
to the letter.
One object will be to have fishing
prohibited in the waters of the State
excepting where the fish are caught
for food purposes. To obtain this
end it will be necessary to stop mem
haden fishing in Maryland waters.
The menhaden are food for fish which
frequent the Chesapeake and tribu-
tary waters and which are in turn a
valued food for the people of the
State.
They say the slaug ghterers of men,
baden. for fish oil and fertilizers.
located in Virginia as a rule, while
taking these fish, which are the food
for food fish, leave nothing to attract
food fish to Chesapeake waters. The
men haden fishers, it is believed, can
ply their trade in the ocean and give
the owners of farms which border
on the tide waters of this State a
chance to make fishing profitable
from their shores.
1t is also proposed to do away with
fixed nets and to revise the laws re-
latlng to seine-hauling. The seine
haulers would be allowed to land all
salable fish on floats or in shallow
water on shores.
The subject is far more of impor-
tance to Virginia commercial fisheries
than to any one else. Its bearings
on Virginia legislation will be
watched with interest.

When first imported into England
1t was the largest diamond in Europe,

Its original weight was 1893 carats

from Amsterdam, and occupied 80
days, at cost of $4,000.

FATTENING HOGS.

In regard to fattening them, / am
aware that the young hog is the hog in
demand now, and the great object is
to sell the pigs even before they are
hogs-when they are shoats less than
year old. / have never pursued that
method. / have never liked to sell
hog until he weighs 400 pounds and
over.
L know that our professors tell us
that it takes more corn to make a
pound Of pork on hog over 800
pounds in weight than before. have
my pigs come along in May, after we
are sure of good weather. Then let
them run in the pasture the whole
summer, and they grow to be long,
lank, big-boned, and big muscled fell
lows. No fat on them yet. The
following September we commence
fattening them. In February, they
weigh 400 pounds.
A few years ago, such hogs were at
"a discount. 1t was all English
bacon, English bacon" / told them
then that before long they would be
wanting fat hogs. 1t wasn't long.
Of course you must get them off at
the right time, at the regular season.
There is nothing that will fatten
hogs better than ear corn and water.
l remember the time when We used
to milk the cows to get milk for the
hogs; used to sit up and cook feed for
them, and to make swill for the
hogs. AS long as l did it, never
had a good hog. l feed nothing to
my fattening hogs but ear corn and
clear water-cold water. would
not let you cook it if you would do
it for nothing, and would not allow
you to grind it.
My method of fattening old hogs
is simply this: My hog house IS kept
clean and we'll bedded. have a
feeding floor on the east of the hog
house, sixteen feet wide. Every morn
ing go in and call the hogs to get
up. They come right out into the
yard, where they are watered. Get
them out at the same hour every
morning. In the winter, they do not
like to get up as early as in the sum-
mer. Like the hired hands in that
respect about sunrise suits them.
Water them out in the yard. If you
DO this every particle of droppings
will be left in that yard. While they
are out there have clean floor for
them to feed on; crib close by. The
floor should be as clean as this floor
is here. Then open the gate; tell
them breakfast is ready. They will
come right in. In about an hour,
they will clean it up. If they leave
any give them a little less. If they
need more give them little more.
You can soon determine Just what
they will clean up, hut do not give
them any more. AS soon as they
get through, open the door into the
hog house. They will walk in, go
right into their pens, clean, well fed.
They will lie down, and it will only
be few moments before you will
hear: "Augh! a-u-g-bl" They are
putting Oh fat then. Open the door,
see that the windows are open; let
them have good ventilation. Allow
them to remain there until three
O'Clock in the afternoon. Then put
them out again; water them; let them
on your feeding floor again, and
abont 4 or 4:30 open the door and
let them back into the hog house.
They will go in and lie there until
the next morning. Then they are
putting on fat. have fed 800 or
400 hogs that way, and l have never

SHE'LL WEAR THE KOH.I.NOoR.
A Famous Diamond to be Put In
Queen Alexandra's Grown.


King Edward has decided to have
the celebrated Koh-i-noor diamond
mounted in the crown of Queen
Alexandra for the coronation.
STORY OF THE "MouND OF LIGHT. T"
No diamond has had a more re-
markable history, or has figured more
largely in the affairs of nations and
individuals, than the Koh-i-noor, or
"Mouud of Light" as the name
implies.
Tradition assignsitgreat antiquity,
it being reputed to have been found
in the Godayery river, Southern
India, between 1000 aud 5000 years
ago. 1t is the oldest known diamond
in the world.
The gem came into the possession
Of the family of one of the ancient
native princes, the Rajah of Malwar,
and was transmitted to his successors
through many generations, until it
passed into the hands of the Moham-
medan conquerors of India at the
beginning of the fourteenth century.
1t constituted one of the most valu-
able gems of the Imperial Treasury
of Delhi, until it was carried off by
Nadir Shah, the Persian conqueror,
in 1879. After the assassination of
Nadir the Koh-i-noor became the
property of the Afghan monarchs,
and from them was transferred to
Runjeet Singh, the Sikh hero of the
Punjaub, who had it set in a bracelet.
Just before his death in 1889 he was
advised to devote it to Juggernaut,
but the act was not consummated
and it was left among his other
treasures.
The story is told that Nadir Shah
possessed himself Of the diamond by
artifice. He believed that it was con-
cealed in the turban of the dethroned
Emperor, since it could not be found
in the treasury at Delhi. On the
pretext of restoring the conquered
ruler to his dominions. which the
willy Persian made the occasion of a
grand display, he artfully proposed,
as mark of friendship, to exchange
turbans with his imperial companion,
an act of courtesy the prisoner did
not deem it polite to refuse. The
famous diamond, according to the
story, thus came into the hands of
the conqueror, who, on beholding it,,
exclaimed: "Koh-i-noorl'
On the fall of Nadir Shah's exten-
sive empire Ahmed Shah, an Afghan
chief, who established new dynasty,
became the possessor of this i'll
omened treasure. The last of his
line. Shah Soujah, kept this cher
ished treasure during his imprison-
ment and exile, until Runjeet Singh
compelled him to sell it.
After the subjugation of the Sikhs
by the English and the annexation
of the Panjaub to British India, in
1S49, the civil authorities took pos
session of the treasury at Lahore,
under the stipulation that all the
property of the state should be con-
fiscated to the East India Company
and that the Koh-i-noor should be

tion of the state, and this locality, look
forward to Mr.. Martins public career
with much hope, pride and satisfac-
ton, knowing that their every interest

D. A. r. OF OUR STATE
The Daughters. Through Mrs. Kellar Is
State Regent, Secure Prominent
RecoRnition for South Dakota.


In MANY ways the Daughters of the
American Revolution have brought
South Dakota into a prominence that
is gratifying to all citizens, whether
personally interested in this organiza-
tion or not.
The following letter from Mrs. Kin
ney, State Regent of Connecticut and
chairman of the committee on Smith
sonian Institute report shows one
line of work done ny the Daughters.
It also shows that South Dakota, un-
der the Regency of Mrs. Kellar, not
only keeps abreast, but in advance of
older, more ropulous states. Last year
Mrs. Kellar had beautiful chamber
in Wind Gave dedicated to the ID. A. r.
In her Smithsonian Institute report
for this year she included photo
craph of this room taken for this espe.
cial purpose. Mrs. Kinney writes in
answer:
NV Dear Mrs. Kellar:-Thank you
very much for your note and photo
graph received yesterday. You have
right to be proud of your d. A. r.
work, and 1 am very grateful for your
interest in the Smithsonian report and
the help you have given by so prompt
ly furnishing your report and photo
graph of our chamber in Wind Cave.
Do the daughters ever hold meetings
in that unique hall? Some day must
certainly visit it. Believe me faithfully
yours. SARAH Il. KINNEY

Chairman of Smithsonian Com.
New Haven, Doth Oct., 1901.
In addition to this, our Soldiers
Home is the only one on the records
of the d. A. r. Congress as having
contributed to the Continental Hall
fund. The Continental Hall is to be q
magnificent structure erected in
Washington City by the Daughters,
for the purpose of preserving all revol-
utiopary relics and souvenirs-also to
serve as meeting place for patriotic
organizations, especially the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
Two years ago when the State Re-
gent of South Dakota, proudly pre-
sented to the ID. A. r. Congress the
do,iation from our Soldiers Home. she
said 'this gift comes with infinite
pathos and beauty, as memorial to
those soldiers who created the repub
lie from those who preserved it"
In response rising vote of thanks
came promptly from the one Thousand
delegates on the floor. The Regen,
then requested more tangible recog
milton to bring back to the Home
This request was answered enthusias
tically by the gift of a beautifully en-
graved certificate, that now hangs il
the reception room of the Home.
That our young state should alon
occupy this unique and exalted posi-
ton abroad and in this distinguished
organization is most gratifying.

Colonel VIM. +. Cody, better known
as Buffalo Bill, arrived from New York
City today, enroute to the Big Horn
Basin of Wyoming. He is all wrapped
up in plans for the improvement of
the new town named for him, Cody,
Wyo., which is the pride and joy of his
heart. He thinks of nothing else, talks
of nothing else, and his intimate
friends say that he even dreams of the
new town, a soft impeachment which
the colonel does not deny.
In speaking of the future metropolis,
Colonel Cody said: "We are going to

were shipped out of there, which shows
that there is something substantial
about the country.

Colonel Martin, q lifelong friend o

says that the latter has built a ten

will live. "Why do you know" said he
"that Bill purchased $4,000 worth o
