the center of the barn. The lower boards
of the crib are hinged, and feed boxes
built on level with the crib bottom, so
as to make practically a self-feeder,
especially when feeding shelled corn.
Hogs sleep under the corncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are 80 feet long.
Hay is put in at the ends of the barn.
Sliding doors, controlled by weights,
are used at the ends of the NOW. They
are closed when the hay is in the NOW.
There are doors alongside the haymow.
When filing the NOV we leave space
of four feet between the hay and the
sides of the barn, which enables us to
throw the hay into the racks when feed
ing. The south end is open. The north
end has doors which we close in bad
weather. We have lots on the north,
south and east of the barn and scales
east of the barn, so We can weigh cattle
at any time
This barn will easily accommo odate 100

81 of which are Herefords. This kind

Crocodiles cannot distinguish a man at

Fish see for only short distances. The

Some snakes see 70 further than one-
eighth of their length Frogs are bet

CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.

When the pigs are three weeks old
they will begin to eat other food be-
sides their mothers milk. To furnish
them this l have a very shallow
trough, easy for them to reach and
out of reach of the dam, and at this
hght-lunch counter provide them
corn meal, wheat middlings, ground
oats and skim-milk. l do not furnish
these all at once, of course, but vary
them according to their cost. / try
always to have skim-milk and corn
meal for them. The quantity is limited
at first. and gradually increased to
such amount as is eaten up during the
day. They thus early develop the hab-
1t Of eating, and the grain and milk
fed in addition to the milk of the dam
gives such start toward profitable
growing that they keep it up to the

4 Peculiar Italian Custom which
Would Seem Well Suited to !
Some Americans.

A .peculiar custom of the peasantry
in remote parts of Italy, according to
a Correspondent. is the wearing Of price
tags on new dresses and suits of clothes.
While in most countries the custom OBJ
,tatns of promptly removing such indi-
cation of, the purchase price the mo-
ment a garment is bought, rural folk
IN Italy take pains to sew them on tho
more securely, in order that they may
not drop off accidentally. This prac-
tice is indulged in by the more prosper
Gus peasantry, corresponding to the
well-to-do farmer class Of this country.
The observer Of social conditions, re-
marks an American exchange, may we'll
ask why this custom of wearing price
marks on clothes has not found favor
in this country, where ostentation on
the part of our new rich" runs riot.
Many a woman of wealth is heard to
complain that her maid servant, on a
much smaller outlay, by wearing cheap
but almost perfect limitations of the
original, can present as fashionable an
appearance as herself. The plush gar
ment of modish design often looks az
as much; paste ornaments cannot be
told from diamonds. except by the ex-
pert. Complaint of the same character
is made by the man who patronizes an
expensive tailor. The great improve
ments effected by the manufacturers of
ready-made clothing have made it pos
sible for the $16-a-week clerk to ap-
pear as we'll dressed as his 81, ,OOO-a-week
employer. All this is, of course, most
distressing to the person who wishes
to get the worth of his or her money.
What is the use of wearing expensive
clothes il ones neighbors do not appre-
ciate them? The universal wearing Of
price tags would remove this difficulty,
and the woman with a new 500 gown
or $50 hat would derive twice the satis-
faction from wearing them that she does
at present-that is. provided her neigh
bors were wearing nothing better. One
danger. to be sure. would be the incen-
tive to prevarication; it would be SO
easy to change the figures. But any,
thing would be better than running the
risk. as at present, of having a new
500 gown mistaken for last years

CURED BY THE SHOCK.
roper Thought He Had Broken Hit
Leg While in His Cups
and Quit

Jones, in spite of being really kind
ly, honest fellow, with a loving wife, q
cozy home and t1ourishing young fam
lily, was rapidly becoming a slave to
drink. Night after night he went home
in a state which made his little wife
heartsick, until she. with woman's
ready wit, devised scheme, and with
the aid of the family physician gave
Jones such a shock that he probably
never will drink again, says the New
York Press.
Like all other men, Jones usually lost
all recollection of his actions after he
had reached certain period of intoxica-
tion. When, five or six weeks ago, he ar
rived at his home in a fit state for the
experiment his wife had him put to bed.
doctor put his right leg into casing OF
plaster of paris and splints, taking care
to bind them so tightly that when Jones
recovered consciousness all sense of
feeling would have left the limb
1t was a pathetic scene, mixed with
grim humor, when Jones awoke the next
day and was told that in trying to find
the keyhole he had fallen down the area
and broken his leg. His remorse was
augmented by the pressure on his leg,
which the doctor took pains to keep alive
at each successive dressing, and by the
time Jones had been in bed month all
desire for stimulants had left him.
1t is not likely he will drink to excess
again, but if he reads this story of his
loving wife's new cure for the alcoholic
habit he will surely drop that limp which
he now affects during his daily walk
down Broadway.

insects Have characteristics Hitherto
- Unknown to the Scientists.
A new trait possessed by ants has
been discovered by a French traveller
IN some Of the insects he found on
his journey through Siam. - These
creatures were very small. of gray
color and lived In damp places. They
travelled often and in troops, which
seemed to be under the direction of
q commander, who rode on tthorse-
oack, M. Meissen, the Frenchman
who noticed this popularity. was at
tracted to these groups by discover.
ing that each company contained a
large ant that travelled more rapidly
tnan the Others. Observing them
more closely, he noticed that each
large ant always carried a small gray
ant upon his back, though the re-
malnder of the troops were on foot
This mounted ant would ride out from
the line, travel swiftly along the col
umn from head to rear and appar-
ently overlook their maneuvers. NJ
Melssen concluded from what he saw
tnat this species of ant, while on its
travels, is under the direction of q
commander, though such "ant horses"
as the general rides must be rare and
valuable, for he scarcely ever found
more than one mounted ant in a COL

If tight partition has been placed in

To feed the pigs, the perpendicular

Instead of having partitions in the

cleanly to put pieces of plank on the
