HOGS ARE LO0UACIOUS
Naturalist Claims that Porkers Have a
Language ana Use it Much.

Zone of the things that bad been
sadly neglected is the language of some
of our lower animals" said James
Speed, the naturalist. GLOW many
persons every thought for one instant
about what hog says to another hog,
or what ne SAYS to you or me.
"Hngs do talk, and talk great deal.
Suppose you go out to the barnyard
early in the morning; doesn't every
hog come running and in unmistaka-
BILE language beg for something to eat ?
II you give them d trough full of food,
what is the meaning of the satisfied
grunt which you hear2 1t is not at
all like thebegging which was INDUCED
in until you feed them.
zone balmy June day l was walking
across a field of clover, when far ahead
l saw an old friend of mine, big SOW.
The fresh green clover made no sound
as my feet sunk in it, and the sow did
not hear me until l was just behind
her. Suddenly she turned and at once
gave startled grunt, which told
her six little pigs that danger was near.
In an instant every little pig dropped
fiat on it's stomach and its ears were
fiattened on its little back.
"After the old SOW had taken q sec
ond good look at me she recognized a
personal friend who had fed her all her
life, as she gave low, satisfied grunt
and each and every little pig jumped
up and went to playing again. This
is an exemplification of what Seton
Thompson has so frequently written
about animals teaching their young
to freeze All animal life knows that
by remaining perfectly still the chances
of being seen are greatly reduced, and
SO all the mothers teach their young to
drop and freeze at word of warn
ing?
Later that day, as l came back
across the field, I heard the same old
sow squealing and crying somewhere
in strip of timber nearby. l knew in
an instant that something had hap
pened to the SOW. for the squealing was
sharp and high, and told of pain and
anger. l hurried to her relief. In the
edge Of the woods l met the six little
pigs huddled together. evidently great.

SOW with her foot fastened between the
roots of a tree and unable to extracts
herself. In moment / released her
and she hobbled off, calling to her pigs
with low grunts of satisfaction. D.

Damage to Water Supply in South
ern Appalachians.

A recent report Of the United States
Geological Survey on the photography
of the Southern Appalachian Noun
tain region, by Fl. A. Pressey, calls
attention to the wasteful methods OF
numbering practised there and the
prevalence of forest fires as q serious
menace to the unusual abundant and
valuable water supply of the Southern
Appalachian Mountains. These two
causes combined have in many places
so denuded the soil on the mountain
sides as to hasten it's removal by heavy
rains, and have thus not only increas-
ed the danger from floods but also
rendered the flows Of many streams
smaller in the dry season and more
violent in their changes, thus lessening
their value for power purposes.

JUST TO THINK OFT.
Ancient LIege Lords were Bothered with
Dressmakers Bills Almost 1000 B. C.

Among the documents which have
lately been discovered in Chaldea is q
tablet which may we'll be called ''the
Oldest dressmaker's bill in the world"
1t Was the custom of the Babylonian
kings to present to the temple sets Of
robes for the use of the priests and
priestesses.-This was usually done
every year. Many of these lists are in
the British Museum.
The oldest hitherto known has been
that of a king about 145O B. Q. The
document now discovered is, however,
much older. The tablet is of lime
stone, and was found in the ruins of a
temple in the city of Nipur, in South
ern Chaldea. This temple WAS dedicat-
ed to the "ghost god, and had large
priesthood attached to it. From the
style of the writing. which is extreme
Iy archais, and from the curious system
of numerals employed. the tablet, it is
said, cannot be of later date than $500
BIC.
It contains a list of ninety two vest
ments which were presented to the
temple by the king. The name of the
king is, unfortunately, omitted. The
inscription ends with the words: SIN
all, ninety two vestments, the bill (list)
of the temple for the priests this veal"
Many of the words are unknown, and
are doubtless technical terms employed
by the modlstes of that period.
Among the items are "twelve white
robes of the temple, eight robes OF the
house of his lady. ten collars of the
house of his lady, ten pure gold collars,
two white robes" An item toward the
end of this curious bill-"FOur scented
robes us suggestive of the passage in
Psalm xiv, in which are mentioned the
robes redOlent of ''myrrh and aloes and
cassin."
1t was evidently the custom in Baby
lonia to perfume the robes, as it is at
present in India and Persia. This doc
ument is of value as showing the great
which had taken place |
in the textile arts in Chaldea even at
that early period.

The Canning -. Istry.

~E'he Fincastle He Sc ays that one
of the largest and ~ 3 Important en-.
terprises to which tue 49, Jmers of BOte-
tourt have turned their attention is
that of canning tomatoes and other
fruits. A cannery was started several
years ago by al enterprising citizen
and others soon follow, until today
adds our contemporary, ''the county
is dotted over with more than one hun
dred factories, which rack between e.
500 and 3 900 cases, on an average, each
making in all over 250,00O cases, or
eleven and half million of cans. In
addition to the one hundred regular
canneries doing a large business, there
are between twenty and thirty others
OF smaller capacity. which will pack
from 100 to 500 cases. to be consumed
chiefly at home.
We referred to this subject the other
day. calling attention to eannery
that was recently started at Waverly,
in Sussex county. These industries
are profitable to the men who operate
them and they are blessings to the
farmers in the surrounding country,
giving them a market for their toma-
toes and giving them alittle spare cash
before the standard crops are gather
ed.
There ought to be canneries in all
sections Of Virginia, and they ought
to be built and operated on the COOP
eratlve plan. The farmers and the vii
layers should join forces and raise the
money and establish the industry. Co
operation in this industry is especially
desirable, as the cannery is dependent
on the neighborhood farmers for it's
raw material
