Shade for the Swine,

Shade for swine is quite as neces-
sary as for other animals, and when
one has a tree or two in the pasture
the question Of shade is readily set
tied If there are no trees plant three
or four, and while they are growing
use portable houses for shade, making
them with a sill set on runners and
with a ring set in the front sill so
that a horse may be attached and the
house moved when necessary. These
houses may be made Of any cheap
material and the roof arranged so that
portion Of it may consist OF tree
limbs laid over the boards set far
apart. The cost need not be great

Sparrows Feed Disabled Robin.

The sparrow has never been noted for
cts good works and kind deeds, but Sam
uel L. Fox, q real estate man, relates an
experience that throws a new light Oh
the character of the little scrapper. Mr.
Fox lives in Tioga, and the other even
dng, just about dusk, he discovered a
young robin foundering about on his
lawn. 1t was unable to fly, and had evil
IDENTITY fallen from its nest. Fearing that
the cats might devour it in the night,
Mr. Fox took the bird to the rear of his
yard, where he has q couple of guinea
pigs in an enclosure covered with a wire
screen. He placed the young robin il
the pen. While dressing the next morn
ing he looked out of his window and was
amazed ut the actions of a couple of
sparrows, who were carrying worms to
the young robin in the enclosure. They
would fly away, only to return few mo-
ments later with worms, which they pro-
lceeded to drop through the screen into
the upturned mouth of the captive. They
kept this performance up until the robin
was liberated, and even then they con-
finued to hover around like self-consti-
Huted guardians.-Philadelp Record.

The majority of flowers have no per-

about o'clock. So rapidly did the
flames follow the crash of the expo
sion that the family barely had time 10
telephone the alarm and flee for their
lives from the burning dwelling. There
was not sufficient time to save much
of the household effects. The loss IS
estimated at about $4,000. with $1,000
insurance on the building and $500 on
the contents.
II Is presumed that the explosion
occurred in some manner about the
large furnace In the basement. when
is used not only to heat the dwelling
but the Ford green house, situated near
by. Why there should have been an
explosion. however, Mr.. Ford is not
able to tell.
Fight Fire With Difficulty.
The fire presented a hard PROPOSE
ton for the department. owing to Its
location. and the distance from a hy-
drant. The house is about half mile
east OF the canning factory, and the
nearest hydrant was at Twelfth ave-
nue. and Nevada. This required the
laying Of over quarter OF mile of
hose, and on that account only one
stream could be turned on the flames.
So spontaneous was the outburst OF
flames that the building was a mass Of
blaze by the time the department ar
rived. The greatest effort OF the fire.
men was directed toward the saving Of
other buildings near by.
