PRoTElN FOR BROOD SONS.

FHOleiN FOX BRCOD SOWS.
The brood SOW is entitled to moro than a
comfortable Ten and enough to eat; in
deed. she must have considerable atten-
ton in the way of proper alanced food if
the pigs are to be what is hoped. 1t is, of
course, unnecessary to say that She must
have a certain amount Of carbonaccous
food else She will not be able to keep up
the bodily heat and visor so necessary to
her progress. but more than all She must
have food in which there is considerable
protein so that the young pigs before
birth be properly nourisl1ed. In sections
of the south where both COW peas and
sweet potatoes arc grown in abundance
the combination makes an ideal food for
the brood SOW. In the north clover and all
falfa can be used in place OF the COW peas
and when bran, barley and potatoes will
be 5000 substitutes for the sweet potatoes.
AS & matter of fact an ordinary ration of
corn with an abundance of root crops
would keep the SOW N excellent condition
although the addition of wheat bran made
into slop with skim milk would materially
help the alton On almost every farm
there is sufficient in the way of variety

WRITER FEEDING OF THE COW.

Many farmers treat their COWS during
the winter as they do their horses who are
not working; that is, they give them just
enough food to keep life in them until they
can be put out to pasture again. They
argue that they can dispose Of milk to
much better advantage in the sumner and
that if they have too much milk i'll winter
they will have to make more butter than
they wish TO. That's a lazy mans way of
doing business. If it is not desired that
the cows give large quantities of milk
during the winter the ration may be
changed or even reduced somewhat but IT,
cannot be lacking liz the essentials which
the cow requires to keep up her warmth
of body and vitality without lasting injury

fair amount Of protein and be in sufficient
variety to keep the COW in good condition
no matter how little milk ~atisties you.
PASTURiNG SWINE ON CLOVER.
THIS is a question whore the value OF the

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, June 8.-The senate
spent the entire morning debating the
Stout bill to keep saloons away from
schools. Recess taken until after din
ner.
The assembly advanced the bill to
make the Milwaukee Free Press the
Official state paper, 81 to 20, and also
the bill to place the clerk Of the su-
preme court on a salary instead Of
fees. The bill to provide for the APP
bointment of 4 woman as an addi-
tional member of the state board of
control of charitable and penal insti-
tutions WIS defeated SO to SO. The
Dunn pocket ballot bill was adj
vanced and is likely to be concurrei
in, having already passed the senate.
1t provides for the use of card and
envelope" system of voting instead OF
the present sheet ballot system.
Madison, Wis, June 9-Final al
journment Of the present session OIL
the legislature, the longest in the
y
from Saturday. The close of business
is set for Wednesday noon, June IA.
The joint committee on rules reported
today a resolution to the above effect.
The senate today refused to recede
from its amendment to the corrupt
practices bill and a mild measure will
be passed or none.
The assembly reconsidered and
passed, 81 to So, the bill to appoint a
woman as an additional member OF
the state board of control. The bill
to revise the state drainage laws, went
through the assembly after another
debate.
The senate still has some 80 bills
to dispose of and the assembly is al.
most through.
Madison, Wis, June 10.-The senate
today killed the Frear bill to limit the
issue of stocks and bonds of rail
road companies on property in Wis
consin. Senator Frear made long
argument for the measure and Sena-
tors Whitehead and Roehr opposed it
as impracticable to attempt in this
stat to supervise and regulate the
issue of securities which may be for
the building of road or branch in
another state The final vote was 8
to Is. The Irvine bill for the same
purpose was laid over for amendment
and may be fixed up and passed
The assembly joint resolution look
ing toward a constitutional conven-
ton was killed. The bill TO authorize
the appointment of an Inspector for
the rural schools of the state was
killed, the argument being made that
it was useless 10 hire one man TO in
spect all the 1900 country schools Of
the state.
Madison, Wis, June 13-The last
long debate in the senate for this ses-
sion was on the question of exemp-
ton of credits from taxation. Sena-
tor Merton proposed an amendment
taxing mortgages and similar property
at one-half of one per cent. He and
Senators Hatten, HudnaD and Nc
Gillivray argued for it and Senators
Whitehear, Bird and Kreutzer oppos-
cd The amendment was lost by a
vote if 16 to 13 and the original bill
exempting such property from all tax
1tion was also lost, IA to Is, this re-
suit being caused by Senators
Stevens and Froemming, who opposed
any legislation on the subject. The
situation, then, is that the present

IDEAS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

A sofa pillow filled with sweet
clover gives delicious and refresh
ing odor. Many prefer clover to a
pine filling.
Salt sprinkled over a low coal fire
will greatly aid in curling feathers.
Shake the plumes constantly and do
not hold them too near the fire.
If one objects to the odor Of moth
balls, sheets of brown paper may be
sprinkled with turpentine and laid
between garments in the chest or
trunk. Moth balls, however, are
much better to use when packing
away rugs.
When travelling, it is well to be
provided with bottle of aromatic
spirits of ammonia. In case of faint
ness, ten to twenty drops taken in a
wine-glass of water will often give
relief. If one is to be alone, it is well
to provide the medicine beforehand.
Fill a three-ounce bottle with boiled
water and add a teaspoonful Of the
spirits, shake we'll and cork tightly.
1t can be taken in two doses half an
hour apart.
An appetizing way for using up
the ''left-overs' of cold meat is to
make sauce with two tablespoon
fuls of -four cooked in two tablespoon
fuls of butter, until nicely Drowned.
Add a cupful of hot water favored
with beef juice or stock, and cook
until the mixture is smooth. Season
with salt and pepper, and stir in half
a capful of currant jelly, and lastly
the meat cut into small pieces. Just
before taking from the fire, three
teaspoonfuls Of sherry may be added.
but this is not necessary. Serve on
thin slices of toast.
A delicious salad recently served at
a luncheon consisted of celery, green
peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, stuffed
olives, and English walnuts. All
were cut into small pieces, mixed
thoroughly witE French dressing,
and served on crisp lettuce leaves.
Both salad and dressing were very
cold. If the above mixture is cut
fine, it may be used for filling to-
mato, cucumber or green pepper
shells. Another new salad combines
bar le due jelly and cream cheese.
The two are rubbed to paste; pack
the mixture in mold and freeze.
Then cut into squares and heap on
lettuce leaves with mayonnaise. =

QUESTION OF ENJOYMENT.

A Boston divine tells this anecdote
about one of the old-time colporteurs
"a sort of itinerant home missionary
with big bundle of tracts. He was
trudging along over a dusty country
road on his way to make his first visit
to a village few miles beyond, and
was given lift in farmers wagon.
AS the two logged along, conversa-
ton ensued regarding the people

ing the most prominent and the con-
dition in general concerning the life
and business in the village was elic-
tied, and at last the reverend gentle
man asked: "Do you think that the
people over there enjoy religion :"
"Well, I don't know much about
it," replied his companion, "but I
suppose that them as has it enjoys it. =

ETIQUETTE IN 1928.

What is probably one of the oldest
books on deportmentin existence was
published in Paris in 1928 and is en-
titled Good Manners in Converse
Among Men" The text is in French,
with Latin translation.
Department in public is first touch
ed upon. "In yawning do not groan,"
this ancient guide to politeness says,
land do not cape even when speak
ing" In blowing thy nose do it as
one would sound a trumpet and after
ward regard not fxedly thy handker-
chief Avoid wiping thy nose as the
children do-with thy fingers or upon
thy sleeve. When listening to some
one speaking do not wiggle about, but
keep thyself in thy skin the while"
1t must have been hard to obey
this latter injunction, judging from
what is said little farther along.
"Kill not heas or the like in the pres
ence of others, but excuse thyself and
remove whatever torments thee"
Three hundred years ago gentle
men did not wear such sad colored
costumes as they do today, and one
cannot help feeling that little pride
and swagger were excusable in
dandy of those days when he donned
for the first time particularly fetch
ing costume Of high colored silken
doublet and hose. Yet this guide"
remarks severely: "If thou art well
bedizened, if thy hose be tightly
drawn and thy habit be well ordered,
parade not thyself, but carry thyself
with becoming modesty. Demean
not thyself arrogantly, neither go
mincingly about. Let not thy hands
hang Imply to the ground and tuck
not up thy hose at every turn.
"Do not embellish thyself with
flowers upon thy ear" is another in
junction which sounds curiously to-
day, but the advice, when speak
ing, raise not thy voice as if thou
vert crying an edict, is just as per-
tinent now as when the budding
young gentlemen OF La France had 1t
drummed into them.
Table manners in those days must
have been rather more primitive even
than those of some of the fifty cent.
table d'hotes in our cities, for the
book says, "Being seated at the table,
scratch not thyself, and if thou must
cough or spit or wipe thy nose do it
dexterously and without a great noise.
"Stuff not thy mouth with food
when eating, and drink not too much
of the wine if thou art master of the
house. Show not overmuch pleas
ure either at the meats or wine.
"In taking salt have care that
thy knife be not greasy. When it is
necessary to clean that or the fork, do
it neatly with the napkin or little
bread, but never with the entire loaf.
Smell not of the meats, and, if by
chance thou dost, put them not back
afterward before another.
"It is very indecent thing to wipe
the sweat from thy face with thy nap
kin, or with the same to blow thy
nose or clean the plate or platter"
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1905-06-17

"On one occasion we arrived II
Montreal quite late at night, and on
reaching the hotel were taken into a
very long dining room, with lights
only on the table where we were
seated. She suddenly turned pale and
exclaimed "There is a cat in this
room" And in spite of the walters
assuring her that he had not seen
cat since he had been there, and was
quite sure there was none, she got
paler and paler, and, trembling all
over continued to say: There is,
there is cat here" and after much
searching cat was found up in the
corner and at the extreme other end
of the room.'"
DR.. Mitchell's conclusions are:
There are these classes of persons
who suffer from cats:
"I. Asthmatics-cat asthma.
's2. Cat fear, with or without Sc
quent, excessive, emotional manifes-
tations, and only on sight.
"3. Cat fear. Power to be sure an
unseen cat is near. Symptoms same
as in Class 2, and apt to be extreme.
"a. Those of the last class can de-
tect the cat by smell, or many some
times and not always.
"5. Cases occur in which the con-
sciousness of cat as present through
its smell once existed, but does not
now, and yet the ability to detect un-
seen cats remains.
SO. 1t is therefore likely that the
cat emanations may affect the der
vous system through the nasal mem
brane, although unrecognized as
odors.
"Why these emanations should, if
plainly perceived as due to cats,
cause certain symptoms in those who
dread cats, is readily understood.
1.-The ultimate cause of unreason-
able terror of cats I cannot explain.
"To be told a cat is near when
none is in the room may occasion the
same unpleasant consequence as when
the cat is present.
cit is, perhaps, worthy of note
how many of the victims of cat fear
declare that even strange cats seem to
have an unusual desire to be near
them, jump on their laps and follow
them"

4rHE sr1EG1Esr MANI

The stingiest man in Anne Arun-
del county, Md, was married by a
Justice of the Peace and paid the
marriage fee in turnips. For a we'd
ding trip he took his bride to Balti-
more in a market wagon, and for a
wedding dinner they ate bologna and
crackers. Before starting for home
he bought a dimes worth Of stick
candy. AS the bride opened the sack
for the second stick he stammered :
"Say supposin' we save the rest OF
this here candy for the folks at home" !"
Since the weather became warm he
has stopped the clock in his home to
keep it from wearing out and listens
through the open window to hear his
neighbor's clock strike.
