regard skimmilk as a valuable
part Of the hog ration, worth at least
thirty cents hundred pounds, when
mixed with grain either whole or
ground. That is, If dollars worth
Of feed be used for hogs, thirty cents
worth, or one hundred pounds, Of skim
milk would make the ration more
valuable than If the whole dollar was
used for grain, with only water in
stead of skimmmilk.
This skimmilk keeps the hog healthy,
and therefore thrifty, preventing con-
stipation and its attending evils, espe-
cially swine plague or hog cholera,
the dread Of all farmers raising hogs.
In fact, cannot recall case of hog
cholera or other disease among hogs
where skimmilk formed a good part
Of the hog ration. l have in mind not
ably the case Of one of our station pa
irons who recently sold nice, thrifty
hog in this market weighing some four
hundred pounds, fed and raised Who'll
ly on skimmilk from this station, which
shows that We can make porkers equal
to the grain fed, and more healthy than
those fed on grain alone If this re-
suit Of feeding skimmilk can be OBJ
tanned in one instance, why can it not
be obtained in many and by any farm
ar?-J. Fl. Crowley, in Kansas Farmer.

sout,, C.ro,,na,. Confederate Rolls.

The effort to do something now be-
fore 1t is too late to perfect the Confed.
crate rolls of South Carolina and pre-
seve them Is being pushed before the
General Assembly. There is great
deal to be accomplished, and If 1t
is to be accomplished at all, 1t must
be done at once. The general plan
that the Confederate veterans and the
daughters and sons have decided upon
will necessitate some expenses, and the
Legislature is asked to appropriate the
money necessary. The present rolls
are in constant use, and are in danger
of being absolutely worn out from daily
lingering. The attention of the Cen
eral Assembly has been called to this
by the Custodian, who has made the
suggestion that they be printed In book
form. and adds that the sale Of the
books would probably pay for the ex-
pense incurred. The printing Of these
rolls In this way will Of course greatly
facilitate the work that the veterans
organization wishes to undertake.-Co-

Submarine Experirn ents in 1902.

According to Rear-Admiral O'Neil of
the United States Navy, among other
experts, the submarine boat has not
passed beyond the experimental stage.
II We turn back the leaves Of "The
Annual Register" for hundred years,
we find the same view recorded. In
1902 Mr.. Fulton, an American, cen
trived diving boat, and experimental
successfully with 1t at Havre.
M. st. Aubin Of Paris gave at that
time an account to one Of the learned
societies Of this "bateau plongeur."
He related that Mr.. Fulton not only
remained whole hour under water
with three Of his companions, but kept
his boat parallel to the horizon at any
given depth. The boat made way at
the rate Of half n league an hour. and
carried a machine by means of which
it blew up large boat. Verify. the
experimental stage Is a long enc for
submarines. =,

Salt For Poultry.

There is quite difference in opinion
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of feeding salt to
poultry, but the most successful breed.
ers say that not only will salt not in
jure poultry, but 1t is as necessary for
them MS 1t is for horses and cattle.
There is no doubt that too much salt
fed without mixing with food will kill
chickens, but this can only be done by
putting the salt where the fowls can
help themselves. All soft food and
mashes that are given to poultry should
be salted-seasoned, as 1t were-about
like we prepare our own food.
Laying hens should drink quantity
Of water, and the salt seems to make
them thirsty. All kinds Of poultry re-
quire salt, and one need have no fear
that 1t will injure them, unless we
foolishly dump quantity where the
fowls can get at it.-Home and Farm.

THE LOVE CHARM.

"Oh, make me charm" maiden said
"rhere is one love and who loves me not
Who forever turns away.
"Oh, fashion charm, wise man, pray,
That snail make me winsome, fair
That shall make him long to kneel and
kiss
The hem of the gown I wear"
She rushed, with the charm that the wiz.
ard made,
In search of her love and they
That she met beheld her with looks OF love,
And, turning, they went her way.
At last the one for whom she had sighed
Fell down at her feet to plead
For the love she had spurned-in vain he
She coldly refused to heed. =,
The suitors came by the score to WOO,
She broke their hearts and she smiled to
see
Them following, eager, hoping, who,
When they turned went Gliding her
mournfully.
At last she sought the wizard again
Who had made her the charm that day;
ooh, here is your CHARM she, signing,
said,
"Receive it again, I pray.
rand give me again the heart had
And let me love as before
E'en though he may turn from my love,
Me love as I loved once more"

He Agreed.

An amusing incident occurred the
other afternoon in q gentleman's out
fitting shop in New street, Birming-
ham, when customer came in to pur-
chase a hat. He tried on several, and
was evidently hard to please, the coun-
ter being covered with the rejected.
At last the salesman picked up a
brown felt bowler, brushed 1t round
with his arm, and extended It admir-
ingly.
''These are being very much worn
this season, SIR" he explained.
"Are they" said the customer,
thoughtfully surveying himself in the
mirror, with the hat on his head. "Do
you think 1t suits me?"
Suits you to perfection, sir-if the

Raymond when he was re-
fused pass on the road over
which he had Travelled free
the greater part Of his life, and for
some time he could not, would not,
believe that the negative was abso-
lutte and irreyocable. He argued with
himself that there must be some mis-
take. But when he appealed from the
superintendent to the president Of the
road and found his appeal in vain;
when he had been informed in turn by
all the officials that no further privi-
leges in the way Of free transportation
would be given him, he was sorely
disappointed man.
He had acquired the pass habit in
q severely chronic form. 1t had be-
come acute. 10 be compelled to pay

seemed to him a great injustice. The
many privileges he had enjoyed in the
past did not console him now. Dick
was sui generis; his enemies said, non
compos mentis, his friends apologize
ally, that he was not "all there"
It might be well to explain why Dick
Raymond considered himself eligible
to the privilege Of free transportation.
1t began twenty years ago, when Chi
cago was more Of village than at
present, and railroad passes encour-'
aged travellers to advertise facilities
of travel. Dick was a news gatherer
on a country newspaper which had
weight in its community. He had
vivid imagination and facile pen, and
pleased the officials Of most important
railroad, one Of the oldest in the West.
He was young man who had plenty
Of that commodity known as "cheek"
or "brass" in those days, now classed as
nerve" The suavity Of his manner,
and his interesting method as a writer
up of topics of value in railroad circles
saved hin from becoming bore. but
he sometimes exceeded his privileges,
as when he asked the general superin-
tendent Of the railroad for pass for
himself and brother. That official sat

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

[From the Chicago News.1
Artlessness is at the head of the high
art class.
When a man lends his influence he
rarely gets it back
Many a man uses his religion as sort
of lightning rod.
Any man who is unable to bear mis-
fortune is truly unfortunate.
If you would make a fool of a man,
applaud rather than praise him.
Nothing provokes a proud woman like
the pride of some other woman.
Nothing is so uncertain as the minds
Of a certain class of politicians.
When a man boasts of his ancestors
probably he has nothing to look forward
to.
A statesman amiably in the right is no
match for politician Pugnaciously in
the wrong.
If bootjacks were bouquets the nine
lives Of the musical midnight cat would
be strewn with flowers.
Many mans success in life is due to
the fact that he is foolish in his talk but
wise in mis- actions
It's an easy matter to please a woman.
All you have to do is say to her only the
things she likes to hear.
