1t has at last found a novel ard sue
cessful mode Of getting rid Of them.
A railway runs straight through the
town, and beside it for half a mile
runs a street. When a number Of
tramps arrive in town they are gath

the town hall at one end Of this street
Half a mile away stands policeman

the tramps race away for liberty.
All but the last man are allowed to
keep on running as far as they will
so long as it is away from town. The
last man is seized by the policeman
and set to work on the roads.
A half-mile race on a heavy road
is hard for a trained athlete. For an
unframed and beer sodden tramp it is
torture; but with their feet winged
by fear of work on the roads, the
tramps puff and blow their hardest,
and arrive at the terminus with aching

FEEDING HOGS.
&c. r. B. in Epitomist.)

A hog fed at fair profit until it
reaches 200 pounds will give less
profit with each additional pound, and
a point can be reached at which fur
Their feeding can be done only at a
loss. A reliable authority says that
a certain amount of food being re-
quired to make a gsin on hog of IS
pounds, it will require four per cent.
more food with a hog of 20 pounds
to make the same gain, fourteen per
cent. more with one of 125 pounds,
twenty-five per cent more on hogs OF
225 pounds and seventy per cent.
more on those weighing 325 pounds.
The tests upon which these figures
are based were not official, but it is
a well known fact that with increase
of age more feed is required to effect
a gain than at earlier age. But the
light weights, those under 200 pounds,
cannot be so well handled at pack
cries, and hence those who are feed
ing for market should bring them to
that weight, smooth and we'll finish
ed. At less weight or in bad condi-
ton, it will be found that the dis
elimination against them is strong, so
that it will always be best economy
to bring them to the most rigid re-
quirements Of the market.-E. r. B.
