Doctor.

The fish-man drove into the yard a few
DAYS after the new summer residents had
taken possession of their home, and seeing
an open door he stepped in and confronted
tne mistress OF the house, relates Youths
Companion.
",Gettin' settled, / s'pose," he said, agree
ably, allowing his gaze to wander from two
half-unpacked trunks to a table loaded with
miscellaneous articles. "Well, take your
time, take your time; there's plenty Of 1t up
here! ! understand your husbands a doc
tor, ma'am?"
Yes, he is" said the summer resident,
who in spite of warnings from city neigh
bors that she had better display no h~aughti-
ness OF spirit under questioning, was unable
to put much %cordiality into her tone.
We'll, now, l come near bein' a DOCTOR"
SAID the fish-man, still with a wandering
gaze. MY folks wanted ! should be one, ali
exceptln OF an aunt that had money, and
was looked to to help me out financially if |

summer here, and she made a regular study
OF my character an parts, and at the end Of
the season she up an told my folks that

COST OF FEEDING PIGS.
After the Six or Seven Months Re-
quired to Attain Full Growth
the Cost Increases.

1t is claimed by the Indiana expert
ment station that for pigs narrowed in
March, April, or May, October and
November is the proper time for profit
ably converting them into pork. 1t is
late enough to usually avoid the severe
weather Of the season, and enables
them to be grown during the summer
sets in.
1t offers an opportunity to have the
pigs do their growing during that sea-
son of the year when grass or pasture
is in condition to be used. They can
actually be reared at less cost than
during any other period of the year.
1t is possible to plant green spring
crops that will furnish cheap feed for
the filters and sOwS, and do much to-
wards promoting the development Of
bone and flesh. From experience OF
feeders at the experiment stations, the
pig increases with greatest profit I'M
til six or sever months old, when it
has reached the maximum. After that
the gains require a larger amount Of
grain to produce a given amount Of
pork, and they should be fattened and
disposed of.
One bushei of corn made IS 1-3 lbs.
of pork at six months old, at seven
months old n bushel made 1872 lbs,
and at eight months old one bushel
made 1876 lbs. While there are vary
ing conditions that have their infiu-
ence upon the amount of grain made,
it is a general principle that after
six OF seven months the amount Of
gain from a bushel of corn is on a
decreasing scale. These gains do not
come UP 70 the one that have been
secured by individuals. 1t may have
been partially in the quality of the
pigs, as there is a great deal in the
characteristics of the animals. We
know farmers who have sows and
boars that they can scarcely feed lit
tie enough to keep them from getting
too fat. They have such a propensity
of assimilation which is out of all
proportion compared with others

HIS DREAM IS UPSET.
LEBAUDY MUST EsPoUsE KORAN

Mohammedan Official Asserts That
French Millionaire Has Gone

to Mussulmans.

AS a sequel to the remarkable story
Of Lebaudy's final bid for the empire
of the Sahara, through the sultan-it
is interesting to notice the attitude OF
Mohammedans to M. Lebaudy and his
venture.
The other day Mohammed ell Mamoon
Sohreworthy, the highest Mohamme-
dan official in England, expressed him.
self very fully. He is the secretary OF
the Pan-Islam league. He said:
at is a strange, romantic story that
is now coming to light. Did we believe
that M. Lebaudy would build a great
mosque in the Sahara, and in lime re-
vive the past glories of Islam? We
did, devoutly. All true Mussulmans
hope that the world will one day see
a powerful and united Moslem people.
and we thought that Lebaudy might
unite the Moslem powers in one COM
non cause against the powers of Eu-
rope.
Unsolicited, Lebaudy came to us
for help. Again and again he renewed
his profession of faith as a Mussulman.
He received presents from us as a
Moslem sovereign. He kissed the holy
Koran in my presence as a token of his
sincerity. M. Lebaudy's dream of en-
pire might have been realized if he
had used legitimate Mussul-
mans would have stood by him had
he kept true to his word, but now M.
Lebaudy is known throughout the Mo-
hammedan world as the man who has
Knocked its religion.
Il once wrote to Lebaudy about his
scheme: You know full well that your
empire is az present only an empire in
name. You do not own a single inch
of ground in the Sahara. MOI a single
man in Morocco or in the Sahara ac-
knowledges your title or is your friend.
Your only hope of becoming a king in
more than name, your only chance OF
ever obtaining the land you desire, lies,
first and foremost, in your proving
yourself to be an honest and true
Mussulman; second, in gaining the
friendship, alliance and recognition OF
the sultan of Morocco, and, third, in
obtaining the allegiance of the Saharan
tribes. If you desire this, say 70, and
prove it by your deeds. Act the king
and play the kingly part, and every
Mohammedan will stand by you and
your dream of empire will be real

HERE N THERE.

The true basis of value in a breed
ing animal is individual excellence
and the quality of its ancestry.
One of the cheapest and most eff
fective preparations to use as a dip
for lice on hogs is a two per cent solu-
ton of creolin.
Don't let the windfalls lie under
the trees and rot. If they are lot yet
sufficiently matured to be cut and dried
profitably, have some pigs or sheep in
the orchard.
Every weed pulled before it has
seeded means the destruction of count
less plants. Right now is the time to
reduce the ~weed-pest of next year
and the following years.
If the cows are made comfortable
and happy, it means more profit. Plan
to make the stable comfortable for the
coming fall and winter by putting in
a stall or tie that gives the COW free
dom; keeps her clean and insures
more milk for the food consumed.
Enthusiasm is an important factor
in progressive agriculture. There is
no better way to cultivate it than to
read farm papers; have some expert
ment plats, keep a careful record Of
ascertained facts, and then boil them
down and send them to the agricul-
tural press.
"A patch of late-planted corn should
be provided for the "burnt-out" period
this fall. Cut it VI and feed to the
dairy COW, and note the difference in
milk yielded as compared with the
same time last year. Sixty pounds OF
green corr is a good, generous, daily
ration as a substitute for grass.

CARE OF PIGS IN SUMMER.
The Principal Things Are Clean
Food, Pure Water and Sani-
tary Surroundings.

A farmer in Indiana writes me that
the past two years ne has lost most
of his pigs by cholera during the
month of August. He says: Il have no
trouble with them at any other time
of the year, and always have a fine
lot of spring pigs which l a get
along as far as August, when l lose
most of them. The trouble seems to
be just plain cholera. 1t may be
something else, but If it is l don't e
what it can be-" l rather suspect 1t
is disease brought on by bad water
probably a disease of the liver. He
says their water supply comes from
a small stream that flows through the
lot, and he admits that it becomes "a
little foul" during the summer. 1t
seems strange that there are still quite
a number of farmers who think that
any old stuff is good enough for a
hog, and that it should remain healthy
no matter what it eats or drinks. The
TACT is that to be healthy a pig needs
clean food, pure water and sanitary
surroundings, the same as any other
animal. Without a doubt that little
stream is the real source of the dis
ease that has destroyed this mans
pigs the past two summers. One
would think that this would occur to
him, and that he would promptly take
measures for keeping them away from
1t, but he continued to allow them
access to it, and relied on some quack
compound to prevent disease. Many
farmers think that hogs should have

quent burning OF the house where
the shooting occurred. has subsided.
The report that other men were Sc
riously wounded IN the row turns out
TO be untrue.
An inquest was held last night and
at a late hour the jury brought in
verdict to the effect that Arthur Too
ley. a native Of Indiana. about "a
years Of age, came TO his death by a
gunshot wound inflicted unlawfuIly
by a colored soldier OF the Ninth Unit
ed States Cavalry. whose name is un-
known to the jury. The verdict
charged the negro soldier with mur-
der.
The evidence at the inquest showed
that the negro cavalrymen were IN the
house when several white soldiers.
among them Sergeant Tooley, came
in. Tooley asked one Of the women
to dance with him and she refused.
whereat he spoke angrily to her. This
aroused one OF the negroes and i'm

Tooley was mortally wounded and

that all the shooting was done by the
