NEVER RINGS HIS HOGS.
Wisconsin Farmer Doesn't Want . Ring in His Nose; Neither
 Docs Pig, He Says.

I have had from 25 to 300 hogs on my farm for the past 25 years. and have never used the ring on q hog in all that time. l don't want a ring in my nose. and don't believe . hog likes it, says . Wisconsin farmer in the Farmers Review. The hog is as nice a brute as we raise, and if fed properly. with a good clean bed of straw in cold wealth CT. plenty of shade in summer and kept clean. his flesh is as healthy as any other animal. He knows better how to take care of his stomach than most animals. When he needs roots. or worms or grit. or lime. or potash. or auything' else in the ground, let him root for it. think more of my hogs than l do of little pasture. When they root 1t up the chances are that there will be more pasture there than in any other part of the field if you will just SOW some oats and clover feed and drag 1t down. They are the finest things in the world on an old pasture. or what is called . permanent pasture. to Kill out the grub worms that infect the pasture every year or 60. All men who like the Job of ringing hogs are welcome to the job for all of me.

BURNING MOUNTAIN.
STRANGE PHENOMENON WILL
 HAVE TERRIBLE END.
Theory Is That Big Hill Was Set Adre Years Ago by Indians Will Soon Turn to Gigan-
 tic Black Chasm.

Away over in the western half of Colorado. dozen miles from New Castle. is a mountain which lacks only Dsnte-esque setting to make of it worthy entrance into Hades. It Is called by residents and strangers alike the Burning Mountain" and no other name has ever been found or applied within the life of several generations.
 Some say it was set on fire by the Indians two score of years ago, and others that it caught fire through a coal mine which was once worked there. But just how the Indians could have set mountain on fire 800 feet under ground, or how it might have caught from a coal mine when that mine Is separated from the fire by a thick startum of vertical stone are

matters for mere conjecture. That the mountain is burning every sense of the visitor who gets within a mile of the place will testify.
 On nearly every side of the great hill are evidences of intense destruc- tion. At one point tons upon tons of rock have tumbled into the yawning throat of huge crater some 300 feet above the base of the mountain, to be burned to finest powder in the intense heat of an abyss of fire. A vast area of the mountain side above the crater is torn into flame tongued scars. The fumes of sulphur are everywhere. All vegetation is dead. Every few weeks, as the combustible substances beneath are consumed, the law of gravitation asserts itself and great bodies of rock come crashing down into the fiery furnace to be slaked and crushed by the next succeeding con- signment.
 The cracks in the mountain side arc in some eases a. dozen feet across. The heat from them is almost unbear- able at distance of 100 feet. and it is impossible to hold the hand in any of the smaller crevices for more than 6 few seconds.
 At night. from below, the countless Assures look like campfires dotting an otherwise barren waste. but when a view is obtained from the top of other mountains they glow like angry in- famed wounds. Blue streaks of flame shoot across them and vanish. Occa- sionally there is an accumulation of gas which ignites and fills the entire Assure with blinding glare of un- canny light, while a rumbling roar be- meath. tells of another rock mass dis. lodged and tumbled into some raging furnace still further below. A roar ing. rushing sound not unlike the draft of some huge house furnace IS always heard, and an everlasting mist of sul. phur smoke hangs over the whole of the great hill.
 The Rio Grande, whose waters How by the mountain with quiet easy motion, which is so seldom found in a typical mountain stream. will eventual ! iy prove the end of this remarkable ! at least this is the theory 1 which Is advanced by scientists who ] have made a study of the strange case. ] When the gradual process of disin- 1 tegration proceeds to such great length l that fire and water meet scientists de clare that the greatest phenomenon. l even greater than the burning noun tain itself. will take place. It is de rlared on authority that uhen the fate 4 ful time arrives the site where the stood will be turned into q great black hole and the terrible force generated by the meeting Of fire and water will cause a shower of rocks. The entire country for several miles. 10 the story goes. will be buried under ! terrific hail of stones which nothing ,an withstand Thus. it Is said. will Burning Mountain be a thing of the past.

PENS FOR HAPPENING.
In Pork Raising, the Most Important Matter Is Careful Selection
 of Shoats.

One of the most important things in pork raising is to buy the number of healthy young shoats you desire to fat ten. if you do not have enough from your own brood sows. If you buy them from your neighbor. or raise them yourself. be sure that they belong to . hardy and easy-feeding family, says the Orange Judd Farmer.

During the summer l give the smaller pigs the run of two-acre orchard. A small creek flows through this orchard and in it the pigs take an occasional bath. thus keeping their skin clean and healthy as we'll as getting rid of the tormenting flies. Only the shoats are allowed to enjoy the run in the orchard, as the older hogs are kept in connne- ment in order that they may assimi- late their food properly.

All OF these companies were credited
With being in the deal. International

pericnced a collapse OF nearly 40

points higher today ut sS and the last

closed at SO Us on Tuesday started
with sales OF $4,000 shares all the

Tho preferred advanced still moro
sharply. Colorado Fuel and United
States Steel were strong in sympathy.
Various stories were offered to ex-
plain the rise in the southern iron
shares. but Wall street was skepticar
about most OF them. One theory was
that Joseph H. Hoadlcy. John w.
Gates and their associates a ac-
CURED control OF Tennessee Coal In
the open market, It was pointed out
however, that as the Tennessee board
OF directors Is classified It would be
impossible for any outsiders TO get
immediate control.
]. G. Maben, president of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel Company. stated today
that arrangements for the sale of n
majority OF the company's common
stock to j. Hoadley and associates
mad been concluded. h price to be
paid for the transfer Mr.. haben re-
fuses to disclose. All common stock
holders will have sixty DAYS in which
to assent to the sale. The minority
interest will have an equal chance
with the others. The dominant inter-
est in Sloss-Schefield has thus far de-
clined to part with its preferred stock
according to Mr.. Maben, but 1t Is I'M
derstood that the Hoadley interest has
what is equivalent to an option on
this stock.
Their was nothing today TO indi-
cate that offers had been made for
Republic Steel. Tennessee coal or any
other large southern properties.
