The young man was abashed. but he
tried again. he spoke of the beautiful

the points OF interest which he had Wis

final remark was a question. Tennyson

the Australian. 1t includes beautiful

SWINE NOTES.

Hogs to be healthy should be kept
in good clean place.
In buying breeding stock, it is bet
ter to pay for quality than quantity.
Give no sour swill and decayed veg
etables even to hogs. Because they
will eat such stuff is no sign that
they will flourish ON it.
Don't feed the hogs we'll one day
and then let them go without the
next; be hog man every day; feed
at regular hours, and see that the
hogs have plenty of good, pure water
"Black teeth in pigs was once
supposed to be the cause of nearly
every trouble they are heir to. 1t is
a myth, and ought to be classed with
"hollow horn in cattle.
After the pigs are a week or two
weeks old the SOW may have all the
rich slop she wants without much
fear of causing scours. Should the
owner have any trouble with white
scours'' when pigs are quite small he
can stop it by reducing the richness
of the sow's feed and giving her in
slop tablespoonful of sulphur twice
daily for day or two.
Early maturity being of great i'm
portance in our pigs, we might be in

but such sow will not be good

these characteristics must be reached

with we'll sprung ribs, broad loin,
deep sides and some length of neck.

Pinching the raspberries back while
growing makes stronger canes and
much herdier, with the quantity and
quality of the fruit decidedly better

Plum trees in the poultry yard are
good thing, as they afford shade fol
the poultry, while if you will jar the
trees every morning the chickens will
catch many curculio, and aid much
in securing a good crop of plums.
The modern rule for pruning trees
is to cut off only injured limbs OF
those that cross and interlace-thai

should not be headed over two and

Thin your apricots, peaches and
plums while they are small. Save

pits-the hardest work 1t has to do
just to be dropped to the ground. Al
rule three to five inches is about
the right distance.

Consul Morgan, in speaking of the
importation of American dried fruits
into Switzerland, says the import:
of American dried fruit is always
profitable for the seller, for the rea
son that no other country produces
the finer kind of dried fruits which
have for the last fifteen years beef
imported into Switzerland and always
find ready sale in that country, nj

or bad. Other countries supply ths

rHE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF
SANTA CLAUS.

Oddly enough, when one comes to think
of IL. with all the interest and curiosity
felt by children the world over in Santa
Claus. the history OF that remarkable per-
sonage has always been enveloped in more
or less obscurity. and when inquiring little
ones seek definite information concerning
him they are put OF by their elders with
some vague and unsatisfying account of
his personality and place of residence.
Grown-up people. in fact, as many a child
must have noticed. betray a singular ig-
norance in regard TO this important per-
sonage. 1t really seems as IL they lost
interest in him and ceased to pursue their
search for knowledge in his direction after
they once get past the age when 1t is worth
while to hang up their stockings. 1t has
remained for Mr.. l. Frank Baum, who
has enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with
the Santa Claus family, TO tell the history
of this Christmas saint and how IL was
that ne came to be the beloved friend Of
children The story begins in the forest
OF Burzee and introduces a company Of
wood nymphs and fairies. Their talk is
about the mortals Of earth, for all Of whom,
but especially for the young children
among them. they feel a great compassion.
They would willingly mitigate the woes
Of these hapless beings II they but knew
the way. How this way was opened. how
a mortal child came into their care and
grew into a happy. contented being. loved
by all fairyland, and how he was eventual
~ enabled to serve his fellow-creatures
once each year are further chapters OF
the tale hat must not be told here. 1t Is
enough to say that when the story is fin
ished the reader will lave the full partic-
ulars OF the long-hidden history of Santa
Claus. It is a very interesting and sur
prising narrative, and will satisfy the
curiosity OF a host OF wondering children
now looking forward expectantly to IN ap-
preaching visit from this beneficent crea-
ture.
The book In very handsomely printed. and
pictoriaIly Is all that could be desired I'm a
child's holiday book, having numerous
fulI-page Illustrations in tint, after draw
ings by Mary Cowles Clark. These draw
ings are of fine artistic conception and
execution; each one tells its story, and
really illustrates the text. The book. which
is published by the Bowen-Merrin Com
pany. will undoubtedly fill a want in juve-
niie literature.
