1t has always been my experience
that there is a decided advantage with
hogs over all other stock Kept on the
farn-the quick returns if good man
agement is given. AS with all stock,
it is essential that good breed be
had. By having well-bred animals
quick growth and early maturity can
be obtained If SOW farrows in early
spring, say April, late enough not to
endanger losses from cold in nine
months the pigs, with good treatment,
can be ready for market. By this time
another lot of pigs can be growing.
Thus we can sell two lots of pigs in
a year from the same SOW. This
gives quick return, and at this years
prices, a good one on the money in
vested. No other stock will answer
as we'll The value of the hog to the
farmer cannot be questioned.-Mrs.M M.

Not n Good Food for Cows.

A recent writer says he fed his cows
on pumpkins literally for some time
and they fell off in their milk two or.
three quarts per day, each COW, which
was caused by the pumpkin seeds, for
when they were removed and the same
quantity of pumpkins fed, the cows III
creased in their milk to larger
amount than they had before given.
A satisfying proof that pumpkin
seed will dry up the milk secretion is
demonstrated by feeding alternately
for week or two by the TWO methods.
When the seeds are allowed an i'm
mediate lessening of the milk supply
follows. While pumpkins are valuable
as food for the dairy and constitute o
cheap ration, the seeds act adversely
and must be removed.

1t is curious and interesting in read
Ing the lives of great military COM
manders to observe among the large
number of generals who have held in
dependent commands how few have
careers of uninterrupted success. A
man who can so through campaign
and fight many battles and never suffer
a reverse must indeed, be command
er of the first order.
The Duke of Alva, one Of the most
eminent soldiers of the sixteenth CEN
tury, never, throughout his long and
eventful career, lost a battle. The
archbishop of Cologne was struck by
his efforts to avoid conflict, having
on one occasion urged him to engage
the Dutch. "The object of general"
replied Alva, "is not to fight, but to
conquer; he fights enough who obtains
the victory"
Oliver Cromwell, throughout his mil
itary career, never lost battle, though
he very nearly sustained a reverse at
Dunbar.
The Duke of Marlborough affords an
excellent example of successful sol
der. He combined all the qualities
necessary for a great commander. and

Americans in the region around Swa-
tow, China, have been brought face to
face Unexpectedly with a curious him
drance to trade in the form of constant
fights between clans over the most
trivial things. AS nearly every Chinese
laborer is a member of clan in that
district, the commerce of the twentieth
century is stopped every little while by
the survivals of past so ancient that
the American commonwealth is an alb
surdly young infant compared with it..
The clans are all formed of blood rel
atives and are added to Systematically
by intermariage so that all the mem
bers are bound together by ties of rela-
tionship. Each member pays all he can
to the headman of his clan, and the
sums obtained in this way are enor-
nous.
Thus the Ur clan recently fought for
six months and the total cost of the
war was only 13 cents a man, certainly
as low a war budget as there is on rec
ord.
A few months ago two men from two
different clans met in a village in the
province. One mentioned the others

know of no better plan than the old
one of covering the top of each post

out so that the rats cannot climb
around it; strips of galvanized iron
may be nailed around the top of the

like the caves Of house, so that the
rat can not pas the obstruction. Cribs
should not be near other buildings,
and everywhere care should be taken
to avoid building rat harbors. The
pest of rats does not stop with the
mere loss of the grain they consume,
although when corn is so cents per
bushel this loss is well nigh intoler-
able; they visit dwelling and poultry

If one desires to secure fertile eggs
early in the season there are certain
precautions to be taken. The hens
should be induced to exercise as much
as possible. To secure this end there
is nothing better than to have abund-
ant litter and scatter whole grain in it,
so as to compel the hens to scratch
for their food The food should con-
tain at least 10 percent and 20 percent
would be better, of animal matter.
Whether the animal food is ground
green bones, beef scraps or animal
meat is not of so much consequence as
that animal food be given. Probably
if the bones have plenty of lean meat
adhering to them. they are the best to

a search for treasure lost at certain
point in the Indian ocean. The dream
