WHY MIX Stops FOR HOGS?
A Practical Talk About the Best Meth
DDS of Feeding the Swine
Sour Swill.

This is the question that Kimbalrs
Dairy Farmer asks in a recent issue,
and it gives some reasons why it is
not good practice. 1t says that it is
compelling them to take more drink
than they need. You will see them
nose around in the swill for the solids
and not drink the liquids after they
have had little. A hog will make a
hog of himself when swilled. The feed
is in such a condition that he can gulp
it down without chewing. Most hogs
have plenty of time. They don't need
to eat as fast as a man at a railway
lunch counter,
I've often watched hogs eat. They
run from ear to ear, or carry one along.
spending more time trying to get the
whole feed than in eating. When it
comes to drink they rush to the trough
with you, upsetting your dignity ii
you're not careful, then pile up in the
trough when you pour in the water.
After sip they are off again to the
corn. You could carry a dozen pals
OF water to them and they would re-
peat the performance. 1t twas rich
swill or milk they would gorge them
selves and not leave drop.
1t shows that they know enough to
quit when it's only water offered. This
has led me to think that better way
could be found Joseph E. Wing told
at the AmeS short course how he feeds
his hogs with a self-feeder. Puts the
| rroi in hn OF in
other place. The hogs eat when they
please and as much as they please.
They are compelled to eat slowly and
they chew the dry feed, for they can't
hog it down. He said they didn't waste
a bit. What got rooted or pushed out
fell on the feeding platform and was
picked up.
ter for hogs than sour soup is for man.
One day sweet and one day sour is not
right. The sour swill barrel is a good
breeding place for disease germs. It
is little wonder the country suffers
such hog losses each year when we
consider what the hog has to eat. Out
in the alfalfa country where grass and
water are the hog feed, there is very
little loss Of hogs.
The dairyman who has skim milk to
feed his hogs should know that his
herd of cows is free from tuberculosis.
If he gets his milk from the creamery
he should know it has been pasteur-
lied. The hog is an over-fat animal.
predisposed to disease. We need to
give more attention to his feed and
shelter. He is naturally a clean ami

anything if compelled to get his meals

CHAPTER XV.-CoNTINUED.

McKinnon, wrote certain townsfolk
TO Fred's general, had so lost caste in
the community that he had determined
on war record to rehabilitate him
self, and was now seeking the lieuten-
2nt-colonelcy of new regiment being
raised in their midst. What with bad
news from Schenck and Milroy, falling
back on Fremont after thrashing at
the Bull Pasture, deep disappoint-
ment over McClellan's being held an
entire month in front of Yorktown and
a feeling that we were getting rather
the worst of the grapple on the PENN
sula, the atmosphere about the wal
department was gloomy enough the
day the young officer arrived.
In the ante-room, with officers, or
derlies and messengers grouped about
or coming and going, sat the long.
ianky and phenomenally solemn Vir-
ginian he had first seen that night at
the stone house on the Warrenton
pike. Jennings knew the newcomer
at glance and. springing up, shook
him effusively by the hand. A mo-
ment later an officer appeared at an
other door and beckoned Benton to
enter. What do you know about that
MANI was the very first question pro-
pounded the instant the door closed be-
hind him.
Nothing said Benton, except that
ne was at the stone house, in trouble
with some of our brigade the first time
L saw him-seemed to be we'll known
TO DR.. Chiffon and other Virginians,
and later was with the Sixth Wiscon-

"But-how about papers-informa-
tion-concerning our forces that he re-
ceived that night? You were captured
while graphing with the cavalry Of
hcer who brought them"
"I?" cried Benton. Good heavens,"
And then stood dumb, for all on a
sudden it flashed over him. Rosalie,
Resale. who had so inexplicably
donned Ladue's uniform. ventured
down through the darkness to the
pike, seeking some one at the stone
house. Rosalie, who had refused to
tell what influence prompted that ap-
parently reckless escapade! Papers?
information concerning our move
ments? Why, what sense was there in
her taking all that risk when at that
very moment our pickets were falling
back before Stuart's triumphant adj
vance-when all but a few of the
guard had already disappeared from
the Henry place-when by midnight
or at the latest at dawn she was almost
sure to be again in touch with her own
friends and kindred? All this and
more flashed through his mind as he
stood there in the. dark little Office,
with his interrogation impatiently fac
ing him, and two other officials look
ing up at him from a paper-littered
table. much impressed, evidently, by
the significance of his silence and en-
barrassment

SONG OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

We are the common people, the hewers
of wood and stone,
The dwellers in common places, mighty
OF Drawn and bone,
Bearing the common burden that only the
shirkers shun,
And doing the common duty that others
have left undone.
Dubbed, by the few, plebian, rabble or
proletaire,
Ours is the hand that feeds them, ours is
the prize they share,
And ours is the common blessing, free
to the toilerS ALL
To win from the lowly valley unto the
submits tall.
Common, and only common
This by the night of birth
Yet the world in its need leans on US
We are the kings OF the earth.
We are the common people, and ours is
the common clay
That a God deemed lit for using, when,
in that olden day,
He took the dust of the Garden, the dust
that His will obeyed,
Fashioned and formed and shaped ii, and
man in His image made;
And. seeing that God selected such clay
for the human test,
And deeming His wisdom suffices to
choose but the surely best,
We, who are common people and made
OF the common Gay,
Leave to the proud uncommon to i'm
prove on the Makers way.
Common, and only common
Tattcred, sometimes, and frayed-
We still content with the pattern
That God in His wisdom made.
We are the common people, yet out of
our might is wrought,
Ever, by Gods own nat, masters of
mighty thought.
Men of that grand republic whose rulers
walk alone,
Piercing the future shadows, knowing
what scers have known:
And, measured by these, the unco' are
petty and wee and small
Playing with gilded baubles, chattering,
voluble all:
And these, our sons, surpaSs them as the
hills o'ertop the glen,
For their great hearts throb to the worlds
long sob, and they the saviors
of men.
Common. and only common,
Hopelcssly commonplace,
Yet out of our loins still issue
The saviors of the race.

CHAPTER XVI.
"STONEWALL" IN AMBUSH.

STONEWALL" IN AMBUSH
McClellan's guns were laundering al
most at the gates of the confederate
capital when sympathetic kinsfolk
took the Chiltons to their hearth and
home and strove to soothe the wrathful
old man. The city filled up fast with
wounded. Every house was a hospital.
and then, when by his devotion and
professional skill, the good doctor
might soon have rehabilitated himself,
he was taken i'll. When he was well
enough, or at least so pronounced to
move at all, the crisis at the capital
was over. Mcclellan was gone. The
seat of war had shifted to the north
Jack, exchanged and released. was
again in saddle, and, how it was ar
ranged Fred never heard until long
after, father and daughter had been
sent to Newport News with the wound
ed and exchanged, and thence had gone
to the roof of the doctors devoted sis
ter in Washington. Once again had
the great-hearted president sent for
the generals aide-de-camp, and this
time bade him go, meet the Chiltons
and see them safely to their destina-
ton.
But that meeting had not made our
Badger boy too happy The doctor
was aging fast and apparently break
ing. Resale was stern and strange.
Squire Benton, with Elinor, as he had
long planned, fastened on to Washing
ton when notified by wire that Fred
had weeks leave from the front,
and FTed'S earnest, yet almost humble
plea that he should be allowed to bring
his father to see DR.. Chilton-his sis
ter to see her-Rosalie had almost
CURLY refused. Then she had fairly
stunned him by saying, IF you really
wish to do me favor, Mr. Benton,
there is one man I'd like to meet, and
that is-Maj. Lounsberry" Benton
should have known by the flash in her
eye, the fury in her tone that for no
sweet assurance did she so desire to
see that distinguished Virginian, now
every moment eXpectant of exchange.
But in Benton's helpless, hopeless love,
he was consumed with unreasoning
Jealousy. Yet it was through his plan
ming, after all. that they met-the blue
eyed sister who SO surely had read
her brothers secret-the dark-eyed,
chafng, fitful, Tuning Virginia beauty
who so surely held it. Washington
was torrid and unwholesome; and
just before Fred hurried back to the
division he had brief conference with
