Feeding and Caring for Pigs.

/ ecdtng ana Caring Tor pigs IS
a subject that should be consider
cd and studied very closely. II
you want to market them for
pork you should feed them
little different, after they are
wcancd. from those you intend
to make breeders of.
In the first place, If you want
to make success. don't forget
to keep the lice off. for they arc
detrimental to the pigs. both
old and young. We begin with
our pigs before birth, and after
they arc narrowed we increase
the feed OF the mother as the
pigs grow older until she is on
full feed. Her feed consists ot
ship stuff (middlings) and wheat
bran, which consider one Of the
best feeds | ever fed. II can
not get til: ship-stuG. | use corn
meal, ground oats and wheat
bran in equal parts. After the
pigs are, say, u week or ten days
old, feed the mother some corn
At each feed, morning and night.
She also has the run OF 4 pasture.
Here il very particular time.

and unless they arc made to take

Henry skip" Day and his latest
flame, Mary Schoening, of Coal Val
ley. were arrested at "Skip's" man
sion, 1912 First avenue, yesterday af-
ternoon by Officers McCarty and
Brinn.
Mary, attired in summer raiment,
including straw hat, said she had been
in the city several weeks, until yester-
day having employment as domestic
in a well-known family. She had TAX
en- a stroll down to watch the street
cars and the electric sprinkler, and
was enjoying the sunshine and flow
ers in Spencer square when "Skip's"
manly form and irresistible smile
doomed in the distance.
She Immediately forgot the street
cars and the electric water wagon
and the flowers and the sunshine and
reveled in the smiles showered on her
by her new friend. She had certainly
found her affinity in skip He was
awfully nice to her. When the after
noon breezes began to sharpen and
Skip rendered to her the hospitality

thither they meandered, only to be
rudely disturbed by the minions of
the law
Mary did not know that it was
wrong to talk to man whose ac-
quaintance she had not made formal
Iy. When a nice man like skip" vol
unteered to tell her about the delights
of life in the city she did not think it
would be treating him right to turn a
deaf ear on him. She would know
better the next time, though.
"Skip" said he meant the little girl
no harm. He tried to act the part of
a gentleman. She was trifie wild at
the outset, but "SlIip" said before they
were together half an hour she had

misfortune was in having been born
handsome instead of rich.
He has been conducting sort of

grown so popular that the police
some weeks ago notified the host that
he would have to cut it out. He be-
came a real town pest.

Seventh Avenue Collision.

Seventh Avenue Collision.
A car on the Milan line and a wag-
on driven by John Ziegler, an Iowa
City horse trader, came together on
Seventh avenue and Twelfth street at
1880 last evening. Ziegler's horses
got tired when the wagon was be-
tween the rails and refused to move
along fast enough to clear the rails
before the arrival of the westbound
car. The motorman figured ZiegleT
had plenty of time to get out of the
way. When he attempted to bring
the car to standstill, it was too late,
and he brought up against the horse
traders outfit with a loud crash, send
ing ZiegIer to the pavement and
wrecking his wagon. The car was
also damaged slightly. Ziegler was
removed to St. Anthony's hospital in
the ambulance. He was bruised con-
siderably, but is not seriously hurt.
