Last year the administration OF AL
sace-Lorraine appropriated the amount
of 200. 900 marks for the construction
of a special building and the necessary
outfit for carrying on such obserya-

were used in building this house n
such a way a. to protect the instru-

liable to result from the traffic of the

attention was paid TO attaining a uni

An insurmountable obstacle to the
making OF old newspapers into a good
quality of paper was the fact that
printers ink. with Its resin and its
heavy linseed oil, could not be got rid
OF by any known process. Paper was
made of old newspapers. but II was
poor In appearance. poor In quality
and always betrayed Its origin. So
old newspapers became In a certain
sense more waste until about six years

As II is now time to use young boars,
for the benefit Of young breeders ! Will
give my method of managing them.
The young BOAR should be put In a lot
by himself. entirely away from other
hogs. as he Will fret too much and not
eat enough II allowed TO run near
otner hogs. Some times II Is good TO
put a pig or TWO with him for com
pany and for an appetizer. Often a
young boar hat is a little tasty about
eating will eat better II there Ii . pig
or two with him; he will eat his feed
to keep the pigs from getting it-hog
like. Then the young boar should be
frequently handled; IL he is not tame
he should be confined In a small pen
SO he can't get away. and rubbed n
handled to get him tame. and then
be taught to drive and to know his
master. He should be driven from
his lot to the breeding lot and back.
30 that he can be driven anywhere and
handled like a bull. We have u boars
all trained SO we can drive them any
where and handle them as we please;
and they have to be broken to handle
when young. He should have a good
warm bed and plenty Of pure water
and have free access to wood ashes
and salt. The feed should consist OF a
variety OF food. The best feed would
be shorts and skim MIX, supplement-
ed with pumpkins and sugar beets or

Now for breeding: Every breeder
should have q breeding lot or house,
with q breeding crate. A very cheap
breeding crate can be made by making
1t six feet long and two feet wide and
three feet high; nail a few cross Stats
across the front end of the crate. two
feet back and leave the balance of the
crate without a top. Then make Q
bridge three feet long and two feet
wide and FIVE inches high: put this
bridge at the rear of the crate. After
the SOW 10 put in the crate put a rod Of
iron across the crate behind the SOW
to keep her from backing out. Then
let the young boar serve the SOW and
then return him to his own lot and let
the SOW remain in the breeding lot or
house till she goes out. unless the lot
is needed to breed other sows. The
young boar should be allowed to serve
a SOW but once, and he should not
serve over three or four sows per
week. The young boar should be we'll
fed and kept growing all the time. In
this way he will get strong. healthy
pigs.-Old Breeder.

And growing like a bear Brown
went tramping heavily through the
hallway to the front door, which he
violently flung open.
"G'way!" he shouted, waving his
hand at the rather young and pleasant
faced lady before him, exactly az IL
he were trying to shoe a hen of the
stoop. "G'way! Don't want any OF
your books! Wouldn't read 'em IL you'd
give 'em to mel"
But instead Of doing as requested,
the lady calmly held her ground.

Dear, dear, what a time you must
have had OF It," exclaimed Mrs. Per-

had made. "and all over the ironing
Of a shirt. Now If you will bring in
the other iron and put 1t on the stove
then sit down and watch me I'll show
you how easy it is to do it," When
the shirt had been duly ironed and the
charming widow turned to him with
a graceful bow and said: There, sir;
now do you think you will know how
to go at it the next time you have a
job OF this kind?" He admiringly ex-
claimed:

Brown stepped over closer to the
widow. who was rolling up her sleeves
In readiness for the fiour-tub, and
looked at her steadily until finally she
became aware Of his gaze and lifted
her eyes.
