Profit in chicorv.

The cultivation of chicory In this
country as commercial fertilizer is
rapidly increasing. though confined
largely to sections of Michigan, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Maine and Nebraska
The yield per acre is said to be from
six to ten tons. but with good culture
as much as fifteen tons may be grown.
The average price is So to IS per ton,
and the cost of growing ranges from
$50 to $40 per acre 1t is stated that
under normal conditions the profit
from chicory is somewhat greater than
from corn or wheat. Its cultivation is
similar to that required for beets, and
the same may be said also as to har-
vesting. The roots are taken to the
factory, and when washed are cut into
pieces about one-half inch in diameter
and roasted. Cbicory has a value as
a forage crop due to its ability to pro-
duce well upon almost barren soil. but
when fed in considerable quantities to
mich cows it imparts a bitter flavor
to the milk. Swine win eat the root
and thrive on it, and both the roots
and leaves may be fed to horses

The wet season. in many sections of
the country, is responsible for the
trouble in calves, known as lung
rtOrms. The worm is small and
thread-like and gets into the windplpe
of the calf, The trouble is thought to
he due largely to the calves drinking
from ponds, which contain the eggs OF
the worms and also from pasturing on
wet grounds. There IS. at present. no
remedy which may be relied upon, so
that the best plan is to prevent the
trouble IL possible, and this can best
be done by keeping the calves in a
warm, dry barn and seeing that the
water they drink is from a well and
as pure as possible. They should not
be allowed to pasture until the grass
is dry, nor should wet grass be fed to
them The plan of injecting ok of
turpentine into the windpipe Is not
very satisfactory. but it is the best
thing known. and in some cases has
proved satisfactory. indianapolis

BuIyIA.g Workmen.
Ten lives were lost by the caving in
of the New York subway tunnel late
Saturday night. Criminal negligence on
the part of the contractors, it is charged,
led to the accident. All the victims were
workmen, most of them Italians.
The accident was the most disastrous
that has occurred in the construction OF
the subway. At che point where the
cavern occurred gang of twenty men
were at work in the tunnel, which is
about 10 feet below the surface. Fol
lowing three blasts by the drilling gang,
the roof of the tunnel collapsed, hun
dreds of tons of rock failing and burying
those of the gang who could not escape.
Rufus c. Hunt, superintendent, and
Richard Beyers, general foreman for
John B. Mcdonald, the contractor who
is building the tunnel, were arrested as
soon as they reached the scene of the
disaster, but being experts in tunnel
work and blasting were permitted to di-
rect the work of rescue. Later 4 magis'
trate remandcd them to the coroner, who
held them in $4,000 bail each.

Care in Rreedinv swine

Whether fall or spring pigs are the
most desirable generally depends upon
local circumstances However, this
does not change the care that should
be given to the brood sow. In many
eases the animal is bred too young,
under eight months old, and Is weak
ened in consequence for several years,
If not for all time. The brood SOW
should be neither thin nor fat; If too
fat, the litter is likely to be a small
one, and if too thin, the sow is either
lacking In vitality or is unable prop
erly TO suckle her pigs. The corn ra-
ton should be small, the foods given
mainly those that will form muscle.
Particularly should attention be paid
to the food If the animal is bred twice
each year. The brood SOW, well cared
for. should he able ( produce good lit
tiers for FIVE or six years.

"She and | figured that all out very

both see that there wasn't one chance

to me. Then she suggested that You
had never yet refused anything that
she wanted, no matter what the cost
might be, and that perhaps it would be
a good plan to change the usual order
somewhat We sort of felt that Il
wouldn't be right to ask You to do any
thing for me. but it's different in her
case, as | remarked before So I'm
here merely as her agent TO say that
she wants me- and that she wants me
