LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is q thriv-
ing town of almost 1900. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population. as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it Is
known as The Hotel"
So it was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story Of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve OF the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the simile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
loo well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion,:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full
" She got no farther, however, for the
wafls of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with a vengeance.

CARE OF THE FARM HORSE.

No man with horse sense will ever
kick a horse.
In nearly all cases a district that is
noted for it's good horses is noted foI
its prosperity.
High calks on horses shoes have a
tendency to cause contracted heels and
quarter cracks.
Worms in horses not only irritate the
intestines, but rob the animals of the
nutriment in the food.
No branch of the live stock business
pays better when properly handled
than does horse raising.
The most desirable horses are not
always the handsomest; while beauty
is desirable it is not absolutely essen
tial.
The man who has f1rst-class horses
on his farm has something that he
can turf into cash at any time he de-
sires.
If the mare has become heated. draw
some of her milk by hand, and do not
let the colt nurse until she has become
cooled. 1t is best to avoid heating her
for there is always danger in it. Light
work will not injure her nor the colt,
but judgment must be used.-Midland
Farmer.

DIsPoslNo or DEAD HOGS.
It Means Much to the Farmer and to
the Community of Which He
Is a Member.

1.-THE proper disposal OF dead hogs
means a great deal to the farmer and
also to the community in which he
lives. He should consider it his duty
to keep his surroundings as free from
infectious diseases as possible" writes
MI. ]. B. Ashby in Kipball's Dairy
Farmer. His stables should be thor
oughly ventilated and should receive an
application of whitewash once or twice
a year, to which has been added a little
carbolic acid.
IF an animal becomes sick it should
receive proper attention, and If the dis
ease is new to the owner, he should
quarantine the animal until it is well.
If one of his hogs dies he should dis
pose of the body in such a way that no
trouble will come from it. Too often
this is not done. While many men
would not harm their neighbors if they
knew it, they will often drag the body
of a dead hog into some gully or out-of-
the-way place and leave it to decay.
The place looks to them remote and
they do not think of the harm that may
come.
In case the hog died of some coD-
tagious disease the germs of this dis
ease are at first, of course, very numer-
Gus in the body. They are easily trans
ferred from the body to anything that
comes in contact with it. In this way
dogs and wild animals, such as vermin
and snakes, come in contact with the
body and then carry the germs to neigh
farms. One can readily see how
this is to the community.
THE practice of burying diseased an
imals is generally resorted to and is a
very good method, although there is
still some danger, especially if the body
is not put down deep enough. 1t is
best always to burn the body, thus elm
nearly all possible chances of
danger. There should be GER
tain requirements of state laws apply
ing to the treatment of dead bodies Of
diseased animals"

BITS ABOUT orHER RACES.

In Armenia, children are not allowed
to play with dolls. II is feared that IL
this were permitted the little ones would
learn to worship them as idols.
Japanese women have their hair done
every other day by q professional hair
dresser. They avoid waves or ripples in
the hair, which are considered bad form.
In place of wedding cake in Holland
wedding sweets are given-"bruidzuik-
ers" they are called. They are handed
round by children and are served in
fiower-trimmed baskets.
Nearly all the younger women in Par
aguay wear white or light pink dresses;
dark and black gowns are worn only by
the older mes. Face powdering is still
In vogue, and many of the women look
as IL they wore white masks.
An interesting theory is put forward
in little volume called 1.-THE Ainu Group
at the st. Louis Exposition" by Prof.
Frederick Starr of the University OF
Chicago. He hazards the opinion that
the Anus are but a little fragment of a
once widespread white race, broken and
submerged by a great food of yellow
Asiatics, who pressed eastward from
their old home. perhaps in Mesopota-
mia"
In Sumatra the length Of time that q
widow must wear her weeds is deter
mined by the wind. Just after her hus-
bands death she plants a Flagstaff at he
door, upon which a flag is raised. While
the flag remains uniform by the wind Ell
quette forbids that she should marry.
But as soon as a rent appears, no matter
how tiny, she can lay aside her weeds
and don her most becoming gown and
bewitching smile.
According to old and established Gus
tom in Japan, the eldest child, whether
male or female, must, under all circum-
stances, abide and inhabit the home. By
this meal a continuous succession is
assured, and the estates cannot pass into
the hands of strangers. From this ar
rangement 1t follows Of necessity that
no eldest child can marry and live with
an eldest child of the opposite sex When
an heiress weds, her husband must as
sumo the family name.

Horses as Flat Dwellers.

Flat life for horses is not so very
new in New York. Ground space in 30
valuable in that city that, like many
other buildings, stables have for some
time been built upward in many sto-
ries, with stalls for the horses on
floors above the ground. There are
now thousands of horses in Gotham
that can be said to live in flats. Stables
of six stories are not considered re-
markable. In many of these fats
horses are stalled on three floors
Each Of these stables has an elevator

Question That vexes Feeders.

Feeding corn wet or dry is a vexed
question, and many have not solved the
problem satisfactorily. A professor
nee asked a farmer, What are you
feeding those hogs, my friend?'
Corn" said the old farmer. Are you
feeding it wet or dry?" DRY" Don't
you know that if you feed it wet to the
hogs they a digest it in one-half the
timer" The farmer reflected a few mo-
ments and said. Nov, see here, pro-
fessor, how much do you calculate a
hogs time is WORTH" 1t is not so
much a matter of time; it is the assimi-
lation which is the important factor of
feeding.-Midland Farmer.

ALFALFA FOR THE HOGS.
Good for Building Up the Frame of
Animals, But Should Be Fed
with Discretion.

There. is no doubt that alfalfa is one
of the BEST foods that can be raised
for hogs. The cattle man has come to
appreciate the value of alfalfa, and
wherever he has been able to raise al
falfa he has done so. He has recog-
nized it as q cheap source of protein.
The hog raiser on the other hand is COM
ing to realize only slowly that the hog
needs protein at all. He has come to
think of the hog as an animal that needs
a food that will make fat, and, as a re-
suit, we see little alfalfa growing on
the farm Of the man that makes hog
raising one of the principal features of
his agriculture.
Alfalfa car be fed In the same way
as clover is fed, with the exception
that it is not SO readily pastured. AL
falfa may be pastured so close that it
will only slowly revive from such treat
ment. while clover car be pastured close
and still come up quickly. But alfalfa
is a good green food and is good when
dry, If it is cut up and mixed with soft
food or steamed.
1t has been charged that too much
alfalfa makes q soft pork, but this is
the case only when the hogs are not
properly finished on grain. No one be-
lieves that a feed like alfalfa should be
fed almost exclusively. It is a good thing
to build up the frame of the animals:
but it does not provide enough car
bohydrates to make it serve the double
purpose of a developed and a finisher.-
