Deatiny of the Hog Skin.

The oily, greasy, thick pig skin is
arousing new interest. Heretofore.
the slaughterhouse has not seriously
bothered itself about SHINING the hog,
while his green hide left on the car
cass and unincumbered with expense
brought eight cents per pound when
weighed in as cured ham or smoked
bacon. The~'scientist will notlet things
alone, however, and it may yet pay to
strip the hide from the hog for com
mercial purposes. The leather strip
per has demonstrated his ability to
shave hides almost to tissue leather. It
is claimed that he can split the leather
to the thinness of a cologne bottle
stopper cover and manufacture that
article at a ridiculously low price

In all parts of the old world the feed.
ing rations of cattle include roots. In
this country little attention is paid to
them, though nearly all scientific feed
ers advocate their use. In the feeding
of beeves roots are valuable, especially
before the finishing period is reached.
The amount to be fed each day must
depend on the size of the steer, but to
a 1%,00O-pound steer so pounds a day
may be fed at first and this may be in
creased. As the time for finishing ap-
proaches, the daily allowance of roots
should be decreased as the food affects
the hardness of the flesh, too many
roots making it soft. The best feed
ers advocate cutting the roots, slicing
them. Some pulp them and mix them
with the forage, delaying the feeding
till the forage is moistened by the
pulp.-Farmers' Review.

An Old-Timer.

4 crowd of young men were seated in
one of the steamboat Offices in the city
the other afternoon while an old steam
boat veteran RECALLED them with stories
about old times on the Mississippi and
"reminiscences of old-time citizens.
"Did you know old Bill Jones? ?" asked
one of the men, after the captain had
finished relating how he run the gaunt-
let of Indians with his boat way back
in the f~orties.
"'Member Bill Jones? Well l guess l
did," replied the captain. LETS see,
he died just after the war. He was a
good old fellow, too. I knew his father
before he was married to Bills mother"
One Of the boys thought the old man
was doping" and, by way of tripping
him up on his dates, asked: soap, how
long have you been running on the
river?"

Mississippi when it was nuthin' but 0

The Depth Of Sleep.

When a person slumbers so soundly
that he can with difficulty be awaken
ed, we are accustomed to say he is in a
deep sleep" An attempt to measure
the depth of sleep, in this sense, has
recently been made by DR.. Sante de
Sanctis, in Rome, with the aid of a spe-
cially designed instrument which
prods the sleeper with a more or less
sharp point. The doctor has drawn
curves showing the relative depth of
sleep in different subjects, and in the
same subject after being allowed to
sleep for different lengths of time. 1t
appears that there are certain times
during sleep when waking becomes
easier, and a practical application of
this result of the experiment is sug-
gested in the adjustment of the time
OF morning rising to a natural period
of minimum in the depth of each Sleep
er's sleep.-Youth's Companion.

day the number Of kissing palms"

turtles.
The existence of the plant has long
been a matter of dispute among botan-
lists. No less an authority than Hum
holdt declared it as his belief that the
kissing plant" was fabulous. Bon
pland also shared this belief, and in
dulged in a bitter controversy with
Baudiern, who claimed to have seen
a specimen of the palm in the South
Sea islands, and there to have come
under its influence to the extent that
he was unable to refrain from en-
bracing and kissing two anything but
attractive native women standing
near.

LANDS END SARDINES.
How the Fishermen of Cornwall Net
Pilchards for the Markets of
Great Britain.

The old debate as to whether nil.
chards are not identical with sardines
has now been decided in the affirma.
tive, says the Pail Mall Gazette. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Aialo, the word sar.
dine must be taken to mean indef.
nitely g small fish preserved in oil
and not as an individual species. This
small fish may be a pilchard or it may
be a sprat. That is to say, natural
lists do not recognize a fish called the
sardine; the word merely signifies a
method of preparation. The point
may be disputed, but cannot be con-
~troverted. Visitors to Cornwall
sometimes deny it on the ground that
the pilchards shown them are larger
than the average sardine, but they
should remember that the fish are
usually packed minus head and tail,
which means a considerable diminu-
ton in size.
For centuries this transformation
of pilchards into sardines has been
going on. We read in M~oryson's
Itinerary" book familiar to Shake
speare's day, that "the inhabitants
of Cornwall make great gain by the
fishing of pilchards, which they salt
and dry in the smoke, and export an
huge multitude of them yearly into
Spain and Italy" This practice of
smoking them gave the fish the name
of fumadoes. corrupted locally into
fair maids"
IT'S the silver fair maids that cause such
a strife
'TwiXt the master-seiner and his drunken
wife.
The fish are not preserved in this
manner now, but are piled and
pressed in layers of salt. Being thor
oughly sailed and relieved of SUI
perfiuous fluids they are taken from
the fish cellars and dispatched in bar
rels to the local or foreign ssardin-
ers." The difference in size between
these Cornish "sardines" and those
caught on the coasts of France is
really a result of difference in net
ting, not in the species of the fish.
The Cornish fishers use a net with a
comparatively large mesh, this let
ting the smaller and more delicate
fish escape; but the French, with a
closer mesh, pay special attention to
the smaller fish. The men of St. Ives
and Newlyn are very conservative, as
will be remembered by their agita-
ton on the Sunday question; but the
adoption of a closer mesh would be a
move in the right direction.

Feeding Wheat t. the HnSa

Farmers frequently have a quantity
of wheat that is not merchantable and
would be glad if they could convert the
same into cash. This is easily done If
he has a few hogs to feed. Get a coal
oil barrel; fill three bushels of wheat
in the barrel; heat 16 gallons of water
till it boils; then pour it over the
wheat; cover close so as to prevent
the steam from escaping; let stand for
IS hours, at which time it will be in
prime condition to feed. One bushel
will produce IA or Is pounds of pork,
so that there need be no loss to the
farmer, though his wheat be musty. /
have practiced this method of feeding
wheat for ten or more years, and am
feeding it now one a day to my hogs
and shall realize at least 80 cents per
bushel from its USE. F. lsley, in

COAL OIL FOR LICE.
1t Is Sure to Rid Hogs of Vermin, Bu1
Should BE Used with COpsid-
cradle Caution.

Coal oil is sure death to every louise
it touches, but it does not always kill
the eggs, and must be used with eau
ton to prevent blistering the skin of
the hog. When a large drove is treat
ed the work can be done very quickly
by using a spray pump having an at
tachment for mixing the oil and wa.
ter, and the pump should be so that
it will use about five parts of water
to n part of oil. When such a mix
spray, only a little of the oil is used to
cover the whole animal, and if the
spraying is done in the evening nearly
allthe oil willhave evaporated by morn
ing and there will be no blistering of
the skin when the hogs are exposed
to the hot sun on the following day.
So little oil is used in the spraying that
few of the eggs will be killed, and the
work should be repeated at the end of
a week and again at the end of the
second week. If the work is thorough.
ly done three sprayings will be suf
ficient.
Lice never infest clean hogs when
they are not brought from an infested
drove, and the hog raiser who has a
clean herd cannot be too careful to
keep it so. No stray hog should be
allowed on the premises, and any which
are purchased should be examined
very carefully before they are to run
with the Others. The oil mixture
should always be kept where it can be
used Immediately, if any indications of
lice are ~seen.-From U. S. Department
of Agriculture Bulletin, No. 100.

Most poultrymen estimate that each
hen will afford a profit of one dollar a
year. This may seem small to some,
but it e after the interest on cap
ital, food and other cash expenses are
paid. 1t is really q large profit, as
most Of the hens are not valued at
more than half that sum each, and with
a flock of 30 hens it represents the in
terest OF $500 at six per cent. When
one takes into consideration the fact
that on most farms the actual capital
invested in poultry is very small, the
profit from the hens is usually quite
large.
