at the next dance and puzzle it out for
yourselves.
And, speaking of dances, an English
paper recently gave some advice to
walIfiowers. It appears these are nu-
merous since the late war; not enough
men to go around, you know. DO

Q foolish smile on your lips when you

you are not happy, and your smile will
deceive no one, least of all the men for

Well, what is a girl to do? Not voice
her real feelings, I hope, and glare at
the men who have passed her by. The
best plan, of course, is to enter into
conversation with a group of girls in a
similar position or, better still, with
your chaperon. This is one of the con-
ditions where a chaperon comes in
handy. AS long as dances continue the
proper thing 1 don't think she will go
out of style. She is too useful.

IDEAL FEED FOR HOGS.


Iregard skim milk as valuable part
of the hog ration, worth at least 80
cents per hundred pounds, when mixed
with grain either whole or ground,
writes ]. H. Crowley in the Kansas
Farmer.
That is, If dollars worth Of feed
be used for hogs, 80 cents worth, or
100 pounds of skim milk, would make
the ration more valuable than if the
whole dollar was used for grain with
only water instead of skim milk. This
skim milk keeps the hog healthy, and,
therefore, thrifty, preventing consti-
patton and its attending evils, especial
ly swine plague or hog cholera, the
dread of all farmers raising hogs. In
fact, l cannot recall case Of hog
cholera or other disease among hogs
where skim milk formed a good part
of the hog ration. Ihave in mind nota-
bly, the case Of one of our station
patrons who recently sold a nice,
thrifty hog on this market weighing
some 400 pounds, fed and raised wholly
on skim milk from this station, which
shows that we can make porkers equal
to the best granted and more healthy
than those fed on grain alone. If this
result of feeding skim milk can be OBJ
tanned in one instance why can it not
be obtained in many and by any
farmer

For laying hens there is nothing
equal to green cut bone. My Buff
Rocks are wonderful egg machines. I
have not yet seen their equal. 1 feed
cut bone every day (if I have it, right
from the cutter, for old and young
fowls. In winter mix It with cut clover
soaked over night, and for grain feed
wheat or oats with occasionally lit
tie corn. In summer the fowls have
free range and can get plenty of grass
and in winter get all the cut clover
they will eat. The wheat is fed in
scratching shed a foot deep with
leaves. At this season farmers and
poultrymen have pullets which they
wish to lay. A bone cutter would be
a profitable investment. The cut bone
is just what the poultry need. It is
cheap and saves feeding SO much grain.

How to Ring Roofing Hor..

The farmer should ring the hogs
noses when he finds them roofing
where he does not want them to root.
Then his temper is about right to do
the work promptly and well. We have
light rack, just large enough to hold
common-sized hogs. The top is open
and the sides and ends are made, of
round, upright sticks, the size Of fork
handles. Both ends open by sliding
up. We place this rack in narrow
doorway at the stable and let hog in.
Then we pull his nose up with slip
moose rope and put ring in the nose.
We let the hog pass out at the other
end of the rack. 1t is narrow, SO the
hog cannot turn in it. Have a small
ring at the end of the rope making the
slip moose to make it close and open
easily.-Farmers' Voice.

PERIQUE STRONG AS POISON

In many of the tabacconist's
shops perique tobacco, chopped into
granulated form, Is displayed for
use by pipe smokers. This is the
same perique that has been grown
by Frenchmen and Spaniards in
Louisiana since before our revolu-
tionary War. 1t is a Jet black, in
tensely strong tobacco, famous for
its flavor and its ability to wreck the
nerves.
1t is made and grown in St.
James Parish, Louisiana, and the
crop only amounts to about 100,
900 pounds year.
The makers follow the primitive
processes which were in use hun
dred and fifty years ago. The
stems are taken from the leaves and
the latter put into box, under a
heavy pressure. This causes the
juice to run out, even through the
wood of the boxes. A gradual pro-
cess of fermentation and curing
takes place.
At the end of three months the
tobacco is rolled into carrots" and
wrapped in cloths, tightly bound
with ropes. It is left in that way
for year before it is ready for
market.
The flavor of perique is consider
ed delicious by all pipe smokers,
but it is too strong. The tendency
of smokers is continuously toward |
lighter and lighter tobacco, and
perique is now used almost solely /
for mixing with very mild tobacco
to flavor it.
