Rapid Growth of Pigs,

The pig has the reputation of being
able to produce a greater weight of
meat and in a shorter time from GER
tain quantity Of food than any
of our other farm animals, says the
Farmers Advocate. As illustrative OF
this, it may be mentioned, that while
well fed, comfortably quartered pig
will increase in weight at the rate Of
one pound for every ave or six pounds
of dry food which it consumes, an OK
requires to consume from IL to Is or
10 pounds of dry food depending on
the materials usedD in order to pro-
duco the same weiaht Of meat.

ANIMAL SENTRlES
Whose Duty 1t Is to Watch While the
Others Feed.

A writer who has made a study Of
the habits of animals, particularly of
those habits that resemble our own,
says the use of sentries, duly relieved
at regular intervals, is the rule rather
than the exception with many of the
gregarious quadrupeds and the larger
birds. Wild geese, for example, act in
SO organized and cautious manner
when feeding or roosting, that they
seem to defy all danger. When flock
has fixed on a newly-sown grain field
to feed in, they make several circling
flights before alighting, and the least
suspicious object will drive them away.
If everything be all right, however
and they alight, the whole flock will
remain motionless for minute or
two, with head and neck erect, looking
over the country round about. This
supplementary accommodating proving
satisfactory, they begin their feeding,
leaving one sentry on guard. He either
stands on some elevated part of the
field or walks slowly with the rest, but
he never ventures to pick up single
grain while he is on duty. When the
sentry thinks that he has done his
share of the watching. he gives the
nearest bird to him a sharp peck, which
means that this bird must take up
the sentry duty. If he does not re-
spond promptly the first bird will peck
again, and more vigorously, sometimes
pulling out a bunch Of feathers in the
act, and at the same time uttering a
complaining cry. The signal Of dan
ger among wild geese and swans is a
sort of bugle-call, which they all at
once understand. Wild ducks have a
low, cautious, quack. All animals
seem to have their peculiar signals.
Prairie dogs bark. ibex, marmots and
mountain sheep whistle; elephants
trumpet; rabbits and lowland sheep
stamp on the ground.

Argentine Wants Japanese Farmers.

A novel experiment in colonizing Is
about to be made in the Argentine Re
public. 1t has been found that the
French, German and English immi-
grants for the most part have selected
the cities and large centres of popula-
tion for their residence. In these
places they have got control of many
industries and take leading share
in the commerce of the country. The
Italians have been engaged heavily in
river navigation, while the stream of
Irish, which used to supply the de-
mands for agricultural labor, filled up
the ship yards and supplied the labor
of the docks, flows no more. Some
French, Swiss and German peasants
have founded agricultural colonies, and
in certain places the Russians and
Poles form the bulk Of the rural pop
ulation But the Argentine govern
ment has decided that none of these
nations supplies, in sufficient numbers,
rural population for the development
of the country. and have decided to i'm
port Japanese farmers. A great con-
cession has been given in the province
of Formosa for the first colony and
arrangements have been made to bring
over 10000 Japanese farmers and set
tie them there-New York Press.

A TOBACCO SPEECH.
xulory OF the Weed Applaudsd In the
House.

xulory OF the Weed Applaudsd In the
It is not often that the Congressional
Record contains such unique contri-
button to literature as the speech
which Representative Otey Of Virginia
delivered in the house on tobacco. Mr..
Otey represents the Lynchberg district,
In the tobacco growing section of his
state, and his eulogy Of the weed ought
to keep him in congress for the re-
mainder Of his days. He is the espe-
cial advocate Of bill to allow larger
ration of tobacco to the soldiers in the
army, and it was in advocacy OF this
measure that he delivered his speech.
'It is fact" asserted Mr. Otey, that
there is no solace in camp life or on
shipboard like the pipe and nothing
slaves off hunger and thirst like the
chew Of tobacco" All the smokers and
chewers in the house applauded this
assertion, and then Mr.. Otey went back
to ancient history. He showed how,
from its earliest discovery, tobacco has
been considered a curative. He quoted
an old practitioner Of "physicke" who
commended tobacco in 1910, and re-
called the words of Hariot, who was
one of Sir Walter Raleighs expedition
in 1854, and who said that tobacco was
a notable preserver of health. He quot
ed some lines in praise Of tobacco from
Sponsors "Faerie Queene," and was
especially applauded when he cited the
case of a man who could not breathe
and whose physician directed him to
take tobacco in fume and little by lit
tie he recovered his former strength"
There was rapt attention in the house
as Mr. Otey recited the chemical analy-
sis of tobacco, with humorous com
ments on chloride of potassium, molic
acid, silica, and ligneous matter. The
peroration of the eulogy on tobacco is
worth quoting His patriotism"
said Major Otey, referring to the SOL
dier, expires only with his life; his
soul is enraptured with enthusiasm,
his memory is on the wing, and runs
back with lightning quickness to the
battles fought and victories won; but
he will recall that the ration Of to-
bacco plucked from his mind rooted
sorrow, razed out the written troubles
of his BRAIN and with this sweet OBJ
livious antidote cleansed the bosom of
perilous stuff that weighed upon his
heart. ."-Washington Post.

Dulcinea was in transport OF

Sleep The mselves to Death.

Explorer Jacques Dubon, lecturipg
before the Geographical Society Of
Paris, described strange city in the
French Senegal colony, once busily
prosperous, but now almost abandoned.
Some gradual change in the climate or
soil has caused increasing drowsiness.
Most Of the inhabitants slept twenty
hours daily. Some even fell asleep
while walking. and many have slept to
death, their friends finding it impos-
sit,le to arouse them even after several
days Of uninterrupted lethargy The
explorer says that neither himself nor
any Of the colonial doctors was able
to discover the real cause Of the phe-
nomenon.
