glars away. The only thing missing is
a pocketbook containing 50.

by the police as "river pirates" and sew
eral loads of furniture and other articles

Roots for Pasture.

during the summer will make a pas
ture crcp on which the swine may be
turned IN the fall with excellent re-
suits. When turned on to such a pas
ture they should be permitted to do
as they please, which is generally to
consume the tops and then dig out the
roots.
OF course, the seed must be sown
on fairly good soil and soil that does
not bake too hard, else the swine can
not get at the roots. We make it a
practice to turn them into this field
for about two hours daily and keep
up the barn feed of q mixture of corn

roots, constitute an almost perfect
