HOGS that Cannot Walk.

Men that were raised on New Eng
land farms have memories of great fat
hogs that for months before slaughter
were unable to stand on their hind
legs. The writer has seen hogs that
weighed almost 600 pounds that before
slaughter had to move around on their
launches as on pivot, says an East
ate and slept in the same place, turn
ing one way to eat and the other to
sleep. Their owners thought it moth
ing unusual, they only said: THE hog
has become so fat he can't stand up"
Yet with more light on the situation
we know that it was not a case of fat
ness only, but case of the constant
feeding of corn and slop, out of which
the animal could not manufacture any
bone or muscle that would sustain his
weight. In those days the food Of
such hogs was corn as largely as it is
now. Had those animals received
ration composed of ground oats, skim
milk and such nitrogen-supplying
foods they would have had bone
and-muscle that would have carried
about any weight. The same results
come from the same causes now, but it
is not so apparent, as the hogs are
marketed at half the weight they were
in the days mentioned. No man should
feed a corn diet exclusively to his
hogs.

He Loved the Thenter

Few men of any rank or time have
ever derived so much unaffected pleas
IRE from the theater as George II.
In fact, in the word of a contempor-
airy, it was las good as a play to hear
the royal laughter and note the genu-
inc enjoyment of his majesty" HE is
said" Thackeray wrote, mot to have
cared for Shakespeare or tragedy much.
Farces and pantomimes were his Joy,
and especially when the clown swal-
lowed carrot or a string of sausa ges
he would laugh so outrageously that
the lovely princess by his side would
have TO say, My gracious. monarch,
do compose yourselfv And he contin-
ued to laugh and at the very smallest
farees as long as his poor wits were
left him"
SO frequent were Georges visits to
the theater that his face was the
most familiar in London TO playgoers.

others laughing out of irresistible In.
lection As familiar a spectacle as
that of his majesty purple and rolling
with laughter was to see him sleeping
as peacefully as a child between the

So partial was he 10 actors that he
permitted and even smiled at liberties
which he would have resented in any
one else. On one occasion. when Par

Specially Fitted by Nature for the
Needs of Man and Animals.
The organ of hearing is one OF the
most marvellous pieces OF mechanism
in the body. In animals he external
ear acts as trumpet TO collect the
sound waves. In man il is little more
than an ornament. But the internal
ear is alike in both. So wonderful is
its construction that we can distin-
guish sounds varying from 40 TO 1900
vibrations per second, This feat is
performed by portion OF the ear call
ed the organ OF Cort. What a won
derful organ that is may be under
stood FROM the fact that it consists OF
< 600 pieces OF apparatus, each piece
haing made up Of two rods, one inner
hair cell and four outer hair cells
that is, $4,000 separate parts In some
mysterious manner the rods, with 9TH
er things. are tuned TO different notes
and. when they vibrate, they cause the
hairs to transmit an impulse to the
aaxvs Of hearing. To be musical.

An Ohio man has made the discoy-
cry that he can hatch chicks In a bee
hive. Upon investigation he found
that the temperature Of his hives was
about that of his incubator Acting
upon this information he placed a sit
ting of eggs in hive and in nineteen
days took from it some chicks. He
says a chaff hive is necessary. Stretch
a piece of cheese cloth above the bees
and lay the eggs on this cloth. Place
a cushion over and around the eggs.
Here Is something, If true, that ought
to convince every poultrylnan that It is
necessary TO keep bees.

contact with it, but its value for that
purpose on the ground is not worth
considering. This is one Of the strange
remedies which by some unaccount-
able means got a reputation for a
value they do not possess.

Palatability must also be taken into
consideration. The best mess for a

follow. The COW gets good results
