Order Issued Against Foul Water
Being Taken From Subwnys

Col John Bi1dle has forwarded to his
associates a recommendation TO the ef
feet that the pumping of foul water from
the manholes of underground conduits
cannot be further tolerated.
He recommends ,ha: the companies
owning electric conduits in the city be
informed that complaint has been made
against the practice of pumping foul wa
ter from these conduits upon the streets
and that they be notified that ii will not
be allowed in the future.
When the companies desire to empty
their conduits Colonel Biddle suggests
that they should pump the water through
a hose to the nearest sewer manhole and
discharge il therein.
Colonel Biddle further recommends that
the Police Department be infor med OF the
order, that strict enforcement of it may

When to Slaughter a Pig.

When to slaughter a pig must de-
pend on what we have to feed him. and
the price at which feed is selling in the
market. The price of pork also cuts
some figure, but not so much MS the
price of feed. For instance, this year
in some localities pig feed is so high
in price that every pound of additional
weight put on costs ten cents, which is
far above the highest market price
possible. Where the hog raiser lives
near a creamery and can get skim
milk at low figure, or near cheese
factory and can get whey for prac-
tically nothing, it often pays to keep
the pigs till they are of good SIZE even
when other feeds are high. This year
a good many pigs are being got rid
of as soon as they attain weight of
$50 pounds.-Farmers' Review.

The trouble of hoover or bloat in
sheep, caused by various gaseous foods
being taken into the stomach, such as
green clover, alfalfa, etc, is easily re-
iieved by tying a round stick back in
the mouth. This is done by taking a
piece of an old broom handle or other
round stick of about that size. The
stick should be eight or ten inches
long, cut grooves around the stick near
each end and tie at these places a
string which can be tied back of the
head, when the stick is put in the
mouth. This arrangement forces the
mouth to remain open. The gas will
quickly escape and the animal will be
relieved. This treatment is as ap-
plicable for the COW as for the sheep,
but larger stick is required for the
cow.-Nebraska Farmer.

IMPORTANT QUESTION.
When DO Swine Make the Cheapest
Gains, in the First Season or
at Nature Age!

1t is now pretty generally under
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains the most cheaply near the
birth period, and also the most rap
idly. This is owing to the greater
activity of tie secretions when an
imals are young. But this explana-
ton does not so well apply to the
case of swine. After several years of
experimenting at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, it has been ascer-
tanned that pigs do not gain nearly
so rapidly when they are young as
when of more mature age. When
they were on the sow it was found
difficult to make them gain a pound
day. After weaving for two or
three months they seldom made more
than one-half pound per day, but aft
er say five or six months for the next
two or three months they gained well
on to two pounds per day. Thus it has
been shown in several instances, that
between the ages of five and eight
months pigs have made the most
rapid increase in weight. The eXper-
iments referred to were not made
with a view to test this question, but
these results came out incidentally
in large number of tests. AS re-
suit of the casual manner in which
these conclusions were reached, the
relative cost of the gains cannot be
given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount
relatively of the food consumed.
This is a great question. 1t ought
to be further investigated. The ex-
perience referred to calls up the
thought that it may be possible to
market pork too young to bring the
grower the greatest profit, even
when swine are sold as young as six
or seven months, the popular age at
which to sell. These results in swine
growing, so different from those OBJ
tanned in growing cattle and sheep,
are well worthy of the closest study.

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUELS.
MIXTURES of COmbustibie Materials
That Are Intended to Econ
Omize Space

The newest thing in the way of ar.
tificial fuel is composed of four-fifths
ground gypsum and one-fifth peat OF
other light vegetable substance the
mixture being nodded into cartridges
Its inventor claims that it is an eX-
cellent substitute for coal, and can
be cheaply manufactured, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post
AS yet such manufactured fuels
have not come into use to any great
extent in this country, coal and wood
being plentiful, but in Europe they
are decidedly popular. One of the
most important problems attacked
by inventors of artificial fuel is the
utilization of coal dust, which at pres
ent goes largely to waste 1t is
mixed with clay and compressed into
bricks for locomotives, petroleum
frequently being added to give ad-
ditional combustibility.
The clay brick, light and porous,
which is to be soaked in kerosene
and put into the kitchen range, ONLY
requiring to be ignited, had some
vogue few years ago in New Eng
land, though persons who tried it
soon gave it up because the extraor-
binary quantity of SCOT which it gave
off blackened both food and cook
ing utensils.
Cartridges of charcoal and ashes
are largely used in Japan for domes-
tic fuel, and for similar purposes
sawdust and ashes have been com
bined, with some petroleum to make
the compound burn. For fuels COM

and other ingredients, there are nu-
merous patents recorded at Washing
ton, while the everyday corncob
soaked in coal oil is a familiar and
primitive device. Even green weeds
and grass have been cut and pressed
into cartridges for the family cook
stove.
The use of dried salmon and other
fishes on the northwest coast for fuel
has long been well known. Probably
the most extraordinary of all arti-
fetal fuels is the Egyptian mummy
which an iconoclastic age has turned
to account on very considerable
scale for cooking and heating, and
even for running locomotives - a
mode of employment for which the
sacred ibis, as well as the equally
revered cat and crocodile, contempo-
rary with the Pharaohs, have proved
well adapted.
