A large company Of easily gulled in

back in small country town. By
means of posters announcing grand
sacred concert and by free distrlbu-
tion Of complimentary tickets bearing
on their face this condition, "No Gen.

to press in through the doors, the ticket
taker began shouting:
"All having complimentary tickets
will please pass up stairs to the gal
Iery."
This was dark, dreary, hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfo1 tably more than 100 people.

EDamsers. of PoHT Express Riding.
In Tie Century there is an article on
s'The Pony Express between st. Jo-
seph, No., and San Francisco, written
BY w. +. Bailey. The author says:
Considering the danger encountered.
the percentage Of fatalities was extraor.
dinarily small. Far more station en-
ployees, than riders were killed by the
Indians, and even of the latter more
were killed off duty than on. This can
be explained by the fact that the horses
furnished the riders, selected as they
were for speed and endurance, were far
supe1im.to the mounts Of the Indians.
There is only one case on record
where a,rider was caught, and that was
owing to his having been surrounded.
This occurred in Nebraska along the
Platte RIVER. He was shot, and several
days later his body was found. His
pony, stiN bridled and saddled, was also
found with the mail intact. It was
transferred to another horse and soon
forwarded to it's destination. In laying
out the ronte through the Indian coun-
try pains were taken to avoid anything
that would afford coxer for an ambush
ed foe.
One Of the greatest dangers encoun
tered by the pony express riders wa
from immigrants and others who mis
took them for Indians. In those days i!
was shoot first and investigate after
ward, provided the shooter survived to
make an investigation. Anumber of the
riders met their death in this way. be-
ing mistaken for Indians, horse thieves
Or road agents. It is q strange but nota-
BILE fact that the Indians often stood and
saw the daring riders fly past without
Offering to molest them. There was a
mystery about it that made it "bad
medicine' to interfere with them. Su.
perstitious as they were, they seldom
bothered with anything that they could
not understand.

FOOT NOTES ON SWINE.

Continuous, steady growth is to be
sought for in the pig intended for mar
ket.
A good dam is a prize and should be
kept for breeding purposes as long as
profitable.
Black teeth in pigs do not indicate
disease. Just what causes them has
never been satisfactorily explained.
If you keep large hogs without gain,
and keep pigs on maintenance ration
only, look out for loss in both ways.
Are cooked pumpkins good for pigs ?
Yes, but raw pumpkins are better.
Then why take the trouble to cook
them?
Pigs get weak in their headquarters
from various causes, such as overfeed-
ing, rheumatism, worms or accident.
Give such a warm, dry nest. If there is
constipation, put some oilmeal in their
swill or bolted faxseed meal.-N. Y.

CANADIAN PORK LORE.
Scientific observations and Com.
ments of Experts on the RAJ
tional Feeding of Pigs.

The Canadian department of agri-
culture has just concluded an ex
haustive scientific inquiry into the
feeding and raising of Canadian pigs
with view to discovering why much
of the pork exported by the dominion
is rated as inferior on account of its
lack of firmness.
The trade in pork has become an
important branch of Canadian COM
merce, the business with England
alone amounting to more than $12,-
100000 in the last year; so the agri-
cultural department has conducted the
inquiry into the soft pork matter re-
CARELESS of expense and labor. It's
results are summarized in a long pam
phlet issued for the enlightenment of
the Canadian pig breeders.
They are, briefly: First, that the
great controlling factor in securing
pork for good quality is in the feed
ing of the pigs; second, that of all
pig foods rations consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley gave
the best and finest pork, and it doesn't
matter whether the rations are served
wet or dry; third, that of all pig
foods beans and corn meal give the
softest and most inferior pork.
There are many tables and figures
in decimals to point these conclusions.
The scientific men of the Canadian
agricultural department have also dis
covered that to feed young pigs up
to the killing stage Of fairness before
they reach maturity does not conduce
to providing firm and healthy pork,
as many unscientific pig breeders and
packers discovered for themselves
long ago.
1t is also laid down that skim milk
fed to the pigs with gr3n produces a
firmer and better fat than the same
grain ration without milk; that a
clover diet, save in conjunction with
grain, isn't first-rate pork producer;
that at is quite evident that the root
crops-turnips, mangels and sugar
beets-can be used with benefit and
impunity;" and finally, that the sci
entists do not notice any softening
effect due to the results of feeding
rape, artichokes or pumpkins, cooked
or raw"
Boston may be interested to learn
that beans produce the worst pork
of all the foods, and the Canadian in
vestigators cannot advise that beans
be used as diet in any degree what
ever. There is no hope for good pork
from bean food.
But corn is rated higher. Corn
meal in moderation is recommended,
especially when helped down by skim
milk and varied with the other grains.
But the more the corn ration is in
creased the softer the pork. And par
tieularly it is set forth that overfeed-
ing is bad, even for pigs.
