MONUMENT TO A LIE.
"Tugong Bula" of BorneO a Custom
Hard to Follow.

"TugonR Bu1a" of BOrueO q Custom
Hard to Follow.
correspondent Of the Straits Bud
get of the Straits Settlement says:
while other nations should build
monuments to the memory of men who
have done great and noble deeds. the
Dyaks heap up a pile of the branches
Of trees in memory Of the man who
has uttered great lie, so that future
generations may know Of his wicked
ness and take warning from 1t.
"The persons deceived start the tn
gong bua by heaping up large num-
Der of branches in some conspicuous
spot by the side Of the main road. Ev-
cry passer-by contributes to it and at
the same time curses the man in MEM
DRY of whom it is.
The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass sa-
cred duty the omission Of which will
meet with supernatural punishment.
and so. however pressed for time
Dyak may be, he stops to throw on the
pile some branches or twigs.
This custom dates from very an
Client times. 1t Is interesting to no
tice that though the ethics of the
Dyaks. even al the present day, do not
agree in many points with the moral
code Of other and more advanced races,
still from the earliest ages the Dyaks
seem to have agreed in considering a
lie a most disgracefuI crime. and a Liar
man who deserves the curses not
only Of his own genera ton. but also
of people yet unborn.
"A few small branches, few dry
twigs and leaves-thct Ia what the tu-
gong bula is at first. But day by day
it increases in size. Every passer-by
adds something to it. and in a few
years time it becomes large and i'm
posing monument raised to the men,
DRY of one who was liar
1T has often been remarked by
Dyaks that any other punishment
would, If man had his choice, be
much preferred to having tugong
bua put up in his memory. Other
punishments are soon forgotten, but a
tugong bula remains as testimony to
a mans untruthfulness for succeeding
generations to witness, and is stand
ing disgrace to his chidrens children.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the
efficacy Of curses-a curse among them
being a Enable offense-it is easy to
understand how Dyak would dread
the accumulation Of curses which
would necessarily accompany the for
nation Of tugong bula"

As to Wheat Growing.

There seems to he Il general opinion
that wheat production has greatly
fallen off in sections located outside
the great wheat belts, and while THIS
is so in some States, and particularly
so with some individuals, statistics
show that the falling off is not so
great as is generally supposed. On the
other hand. there are individual farm
ers who are good wheat raisers who
have given up their farms almost en-
tirely to other crops. simply because
they do not feel able to compete with
the great wheat sections of the West.
1t is doubtful If this is good policy.
for while the farm may frequently be
used to better advantage. there Is
always a market in any section for
crop Of good wheat. and always use
for small crop on the farm. Then.
too, wheat Is one Of the best OF crops
to use in a rotation. having a value to
the soil In this respect 80 great that
1t would pay to grow 1t even II the
sale was comparatively limited. If
1t could not be sold at fair price it
has considerable feeding value, par
ticularly where poultry Is kept DO
not cut out the wheat entirely until
YOU have investigated its value on
your farm.

Floor for Horse Stall.

The average horse stall is a disgrace
part about it is the floor. One OF the
best floors known. that may be made
at small expense. is constructed as Ioi-
lows: The foundation is of small
stones with IA cement coating on top:
u good cement floor in other words, so
laid that there is a fall of about one
inch TO the foot from the manager TO
the rear. Then a Stat floor is made OF
good oak material an inch thick and
two inches wide.
These strips are cut the required
length. are set on edge about ne-half
inch apart and cleatS nailed across at
intervals Of foot. Holes are bored
in these cleats so that the liquid excre-
ment which passes between the Stats
may pass over the cement floor to the
rear. Two by four strips are put in
al intervals to keep the Slated floor
from being springy. Every few days
this Slated floor is taken up and the
cement floor underneath cleaned. so
that in this way the horse always has
a dry bed.
A gutter should be provided for
when laying the cement floor. at the
rear of the stall. so that the liquid
excrcment will run off to some vat pro
vided for it and thus be saved. In

Braid trimmings are striking in new

dresses there is found a deal of the new
reddish brown that promises to be much
worn in its various shades. The present
liking for self-trimmings seems likely to
continue through fall, at least. for the
novel and pretty effects obtainable with
houncings. landings, ruchings and the
like seem not to be exhausted.
Separate waists for dressy use are not

Korean Trained Tortoises.

addition to their skill as jugglers and

skill in teaching animals tricks. They
not only exhibit educated bears, span
ies, monkeys and goats, but also
trained birds, and. what is the most
astonishing Of all, trick fish. One Of
the most curious examples Of patient
training is an exhibit by an old Corean
boatman Of dozen drilled tortoises.
Directed by his songs and small
metal drum. they march in line, exc
cute various eyolutions, and conclude
by climbing upon low table, the
larger ones forming. of their own ac-

WEAVING Pigs.

We have never been able to under
stand the great haste to wean pigs
that is so often shown. If the SOW
had to work like the mare there might
be some reason for early weaving, or
il her milk could he utilized like the
cows. but neither inducement Is pres
pnt in the ease of the SOW, unless she
is bred very soon after narrowing.
which is not good practice, as rule.
ieary weaving of pigs often produces
a shock to them and the mother that
there is no occasion for. and often
does great harm. We like to have pigs
suckle the dam about as long as she
has milk for them. In the meantime
they have learned to eat what the
mother does and when deprived
of their natural food from natures
founts they do not miss il and lose not
Il pounds weight. The dam, too, is
then in Il condition to be dried off
without pain or danger of milk fever
or any other ailment that n too early
weaving may produce. And finally, at
as rapid gain ut as little cost as dur
ing the nursing period; then why not
make that period long rather than IA
short one;-Farm. Stock and Home.

Hog Raising on the Farm.

In choosing brood sows for the pro-
duction of pork, it is a very important
matter to select from prolific and
strong legs and good feet. The indi-
viduals selected should be rather
rangy. with a straight back, a broad
and deep body. 1t is not a bad plan
to notice whether she has twelve de-
veloped teats. DO not bred them be-
fore they are eight months old. but
feed them well before and after breed

The boar, as is usually said, is half

be exercised in his selection. In the
