THE HOGS IN SUMMER.

A continuous diet of the ears of sweet
corn. fresh, will kill hogs of all kinds.
The first milking of a COW after calv-
ing will kill a SOW that is in a way to
bring forth a litter of pigs.
A plug of tobacco as large as a mans
thumb will cause commissions, and
death will result in a few hours.
Every farmer should know that half
a pint of cotton seed meal will kill any
hog, young or old, if he eats it, says
Farmers Advocate.
A hogs stomach is not strong enough
to digest much sweet stuff without a
feed of sour apples or sour milk or SINH
lar rations occasionally.
Study the market situation closely.
Prolonged dry weather will surely
mean enhanced value to many farm
products. Know the value of what
You have to sell and then try to get it.
The time to begin feeding a pig to
get the most profit out of it is the day
of it's birth. A little attention to feed
ing the pig given ONE six months or SO
previous would not be missing it so far.
Pigs are sensitive to cold, and the
late filters should be protected, as also
the early spring pigs. If milk is not
plentiful, make a porridge and add to 1t.
Raw meal is not suitable for young
pigs.

GREEN Fool FOR PIGS.
They Need 1t from Spring to Autumn
and Then ShOuId Be Finished
ON Grain RatiOns.

No one is in a position to grow pigs
with great profit unless he can provide
pasture or green forage of some kind
for his animals. They need this from
spring to autumn, and then they go
to grain for finishing. In this connec-
ton the following experiment is inter-
esting--the idea being to see whether
a portion of the grass or fibrous food fed
in conjunction with corn meal vas not
more healthful and profitable than the
meal without any other admixture. TAX
Ing a litter of six pigs, five weeks old,
1t was divided into two lots as nearly
equal in weight and thrift as possible,
a y Massachusetts Plowman.
One lot was kept in a pen and fed
upon corn meal soaked in water IL
hours, while the other lot was
fed upon green clover, cut short,
and mixed with corn meal. At
first only one quart of this cut clover
was fed each pig, with all the meal they
would eat. This meal being mixed with
clover, the particles were separated, and
when eaten went to the stomach in a
spongy condition, SO that the gastric
juice could penetrate the mass, as wa
ter does a sponge. The juice being able
to come in contact with all the food
very quickly, digestion is soon accom-
plished.
This lot of pigs, with the clover and
meal, were always lively, always ready
for their food, while the other lot, with
meal alone, ate greedfly for a time, then
became dainty for a few days, showing
a feverish state of the system, con
tenting themselves for a few meals with
water, until, by fasting, they got I've
their indisposition, and went on feed
ing again. This was repeated many
times during the five months that the
experiment lasted. At the n of that
time the two lots were weighed.
The lot fed on meal alone scaled $50
pounds each, the other lot 210 pounds
each, or 40 per cent. for being treated as
g~rass-eating animals. Each lot con-
sumed the same amount of meal. The
clover In this case vas given in small
quantity, and intended merely to act
as a divider for the meal. The amount
never exceeded two quarts Of cut clover
at a meal.

AUTOCRACY OF RUSSIAN LIFE.
Present Conditions of the
Cars Domain Are Due to
Ancient Causes.

From the earliest times until within
the last century and a half Russia was
almost continually subject to foreign
invasion, according to the Chautau-
uuan. Wave after wave of barbarians
from the great northern plains of Asia
dashed against the Muscovite state
and several times completely over
wheImed it. There were no means OF
protection-no lofty mountains, no in
accessible Businesses, no streams dim
cult of passage. There was not even
stone or other material to construct
walls or castles for defense.
The inevitable tendency under such
circumstances was for the power of
the Muscovite princes over their sub
jects to be greatly augmented. The
people looked to the princes for pro-
lection, in return for which they I'M
dertook to serve in the army, pay large
taxes and in other ways strengthen the
princes position. 1t SO happened that
in this business of defending the peo-
pie against the de~predations of the
marauders the princes of Moscow were
more successful than any others.
And it was for this reason chiefly
that the princes of Moscow attained a
prestige surprising that of all the 9th
ers and eventually became the head
of the Russian state. In the great
struggle to throw off the Mongol yoke
in the fifteenth century the people
were quite willing to commit the most
absolute power into the hands of the
grand prince of Moscow, forthey knew
that every and prerogative
at his command would be needed for
the achievement of the task. What
ever would strengthen the princes po-
sition was considered desirable, what
ever would weaken it deleterious.
Thus the Russians, who in very early
times had republican government in
their petty city states, accustomed
themselves for the sake of their ma
tional d%eliverance to autocracy.

THE FACE THAT SMILES.

Rrofher. YOU are gazing backward, toward
the g of your mistakes;
You are weeping Ger your errors till your
proud heart almost breaks.
You're repenting and regretting, you are
signing, Oh, alas!
And you're missing all the glories OF the
present as they pass.
Leave the grim and grewsome picture
look the other way awhile,
For the face that's toward the future ID
the face tina wears d smile.
You are lost in content lation OF the DUN
ders you have made;
You are signing Ger the countless tlHles
your soul has been dtsmayed.
But the futures sun Is shining on the Lu-
lures verdant trees,
And the futures birds are singing-you are
missing all of these.
Cease that useless gazing look
the other way awhile,
For the faces toward the future are the
only ones that smile.
When your back is toward the future then
the blazing lamp Of hope
Throws your shadow Ger your landscape
and with blinded eyes you grope
For the blessings that had vanished with
the times they strOYe to bless;
Face about and you'll discover all your
groupings fruitiessness
You'll be dazzled by the glory OF the pros
pect for awhile.
But with face turned to the future you Will
learn to wear a smile.

HOW to Handle Manure.

It Is a common practice to throw
the manure from the Stables out of a
window and allow it to accumulate in
a head against the barn, where it rots
the building and often communicates
the air of the stable. Fresh manure
should never be left in a conical heap.
Probably the best way to manage it
is to spread it evenly in an adjoining
shed, in which stock is kept loose to
trample it. If, however, it is put out
Of doors it should always be wheeled
away from the building and mixed
with the COW manure and waste from
the straw stacks.

one, consisting of a single piece of
wire which is formed into a loop near
one end, with the shorter end formed
into a screw to aid in inserting it in
the wooden roost. The longer end is
not bent to its final position until
after the screw is inserted into the
wood, when the loose end Is twisted
into the location shown below the
roost. 1t is an easy matter to attach
a small rag or piece of sponge to the
depending end with n liquid vermi-
eide, and the vaporizing of this liquid
will serve not only to keep the vermin
from crawling over the roosts, but
drive the lice from the bodies of the
fowls, as the odor will permeate the
feathers when the birds are on the
roosts at night.-Cincinnati CONNER

PRINCE OF WALES DIsLIKED.
Heir to the British Throne II. said
to Lack the Elements of
Popularity.

Far and away the three most popu-
lar members of the royal family to-
day are the king and queen and little
Prince Edward, eldest son of the
prince of Wales. That the king and
queen would be popular every one ex-
pected; they always were as prince and
princess of Wales. But the present
prince and princess are about the least
popular members of the house OF
Hanover. Prince George, the "sailor
prince" was once almost idoliZed By
the crowd. says the New York Times,
but that was when he was a sailor.
Since he gave up the sea he has drifted
back in public regard. 1t is some years
ago that, after a prolonged period of
inactivity, he suddenly took it into his
head to command a battleship and
started on a cruise. The British press
wept tears Of JOY and he was the hero
of the hour. But after a few weeks
"the ship anne back" and the royal
commander has given himself leave of
absence on shore ever since.
When be was younger he took his
profession very seriously and never
shirked the ~disagreeables connected
with it. There is a perfectly true story
of his ship, when he was a lieutenant,
touching at a Turkish port. The local
governor at once came to pay his re-
spects to the royal prince. The ship
was cOaling, operations being com
manded by the officer of the watch,
black as a negro from coal dust and
perspiring freely. The admiral re-
ceived the pasha, who explained that
he came to pay his respects to the
queens grandson.
Hes on duty just now" explained
the sailor; "there he is" pointing to
the hot and dirty officer. No wonder
the public liked a man who did his
days work and never finched o shell
tered himself from irksome tasks be-
hind his title.
The trouble with the prince to-day
seems to be that his health is indiffer-
ent. Whether his severe attack of
fever just after his elder brothers
death has weakened him, or whether,
as some say, it is a matter of weak
digestion. one cannot tell. but he is not
strong and has to take great care of
himself. At Buckingham palace they
keep late hours; the king seldom re-
tires before midnight. At Marlborough
house the prince goes to bed much
earlier and never sits up late. He
hates horse racing and never goes to
Newmarket or other races if he can
possibly avoid it. The present kings
death will be a great blow to the
popularity of racing.
All members of the royal family
avoid witnessing cricket or football
matches. but the prince seems to dis
like agricultural shows as well. His
chief hobby is fishing apd this gives
a hint to his character, for a fisher
man is, as a rule, quiet, reserved and
fond of solitude. The long and short
of it is there will be a slump in loyalty
when George V. comes to the throne,
unless he comes out of his she'll and
initiates his royal fathers geniality.

KEEPS THE WATER PURE.

way by which the animal that is
drinking a make it foul. The wa
terer consists of a double drinking
bowl, made of cast iron, which is at
tached to the outside of a tank or bar
rel. On the inside is another chamber,
inClosed in which is a brass float and
lever, controlling the flow of the water
to the outside bowl. The fountain is
automatic in it's action, as the float
rises with the water in the bowl and
cuts off the supply when the proper
height has been reached. AS the valve
is always closed, except when water is

POULTRY HOUSE DEVICE.
Clever Little invention, Recently Pat-
ented, Is Calculated to Prevent
CrOwding and Vermin.

The illustration shows a novelty
which will recommend itself to the
poultry keeper for two reasons. First,
because it will prevent the fowls from
crowding each other on the roosts;
and, second, because of the provision
it makes for bringing a vermin de-
stroyer within close proximity to the
fowl while roosting without the latter
touching it. These devices can be
brought into use in connection with
the roosting poles already in position
in the henhouse, and consequently
there is no expense for changing the
roosts. The invention is a simple

EXPOSURE.

Ing Winds 1t Is the Best Location
for Poultry Houses

All localities are not adapted for
poultry, says a writer in Country Gen
tleman. The and should be high and

southern exposure is best, especially IL
naturally shielded from cold or sweep
ing winds. Poultry will not thrive on
damp or retentive soil, and they will
not remain outside unless protected
from high winds. Poultry houses need
not be of any particular kind. Give
them quarters that are not too high,
having south windows in about the
proportion found in good dwellings,
the floor to be of sand or other loose
soil, the surface of the floor to be
higher than the surrounding land; the
roosts to be at least two inches wide
and placed about Is inches above the
dropping boards. Doors and windows
should be placed on one side only, so
that there will be no draft in summer
or winter. Ventilation is not neces-
sary. Keep the dropping boards clean,
and use the door or windows for ven
tilation, just as you do in your dwell
ing. Poultry houses that are Iathed
and plastered are easily kept clean,
and are free from condensation-the
same result can be had by mailing
poultry wire on the inside of The stud
ding and under the rafters. filing the
space between the outside s%heathing
and the wire netting with dry straw.
This straw filler makes a very dry and
warm house. If The poultry house is

keep the floor Uttered. One foot Of
oat straw makes a good. clean and

NOT THE RIGHT MAN.

He was about to turn from Woodward ave-

almost to the foot of the soldiers monu-
ment, relates the Detroit Free Press. Be-

and let three other men chase his hat. 1T
was brought back to him after two or three
minutes, and as he waited its coming he
took a memorandum book from his pocket
and asked of the man who had it in hand;
will you kindly give me your name,
sir?"
"Wha for?" was asked.
"That / may remember you in my will.

up and busted it off, and you have
