LIFE IN A MINING CAMP.
Vivid Picture of the Ways Of the PEG

In Harpers Magazine Philip Verril
Misheis gives vivid picture OF a west.

The darkness closed I'm as we drove
into town. Our teamster swung his an

hundreds or mules. dozen cows scores

domestic necessities were mixed in

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The horse should be bedded with per-
fectly clean, dry straw
The use OF Landing tents by western
breeders has resulted in saving larger
percentage OF lambs than was formerly
thought possible.
The boar should be kept some distance
from the sows. His quarters should be
strong. He should have a good clover
pasture.-Farm Journal
If you think anything is good enough
for the hogs" they will let you know
that anything is good enough for you;
and that will not be very good, either
Farm Journal.
In mating the farm teams for spring
work 1t is well to regard size. gait and
strength. rather than appearances. A
fast and slow horse mated together
will not give best results. unless one is
learning to swear.--Midland Farmer.

FATTENINC HOGS.
Ration Too Early-Such Treat
ment Stunts Growth

In fsttening hogs do not begin to
feed heavy corn ration too early
This will stunt the pig. | have seen
pigs fed corn almost from the start
and the development of their frames
checked in that way. says an Illinois
correspondent of the Farmers Review
Give the growing pig chance To de-
velop a good sized frame and after the
frame liz about as large as you want IL
put In the carhonaceous feed and begin
to put fat onto the frame. BY that
time the digestive organs OF the pig
will have become strong on the pro-
teids that have been fed | think that
q good many OF our swine growers lose
sight of the fact that the digestive or
gans and the heart and lungs have to
be built up on heterogeneous food and IL
that kind of food is not given in album
dance the said internal organs viii
never be very strong or vigorous, and
hence never be in a condition to ham
die large quantities of food TO adyan-
tage.
/ believe that even with the fatten-
Ing hog IL is mistake TO feed an
entirely corn ration. IL is my expert
ence that a hog that has either clover
alfalfa or milk with the corn will make
a better gain on the feed given than
any other way. ! would not give the
fattening hog much range, though /
would the growing hog. But the fat
tening hog should not be induced to
work the fat of through his lungs,
which he is very likely to do II he
has large pasture TO run over. We
have to treat the hogs being fattened
In different manner from those be-
ing developed In frame or being kept
for breeding purposes.

COMPLAIN OF THE DEER.
Game Warden Lincoln Receives a
Strange Letter From Western Iowa.


Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. 24.-George A.
Lincoln, state fish and game warden,
has received letter from Council
Bluffs, the contents of which were
quite a surprise to him, and which
will be as great surprise to the peo-
pie of the state. 1t states there is a
flock of twenty-five deer running at
large in that county, and that they
are doing so much damage that the
farmers are threatening to kill them.
He has been asked for advice in re-
gard to the matter, and is puzzled to
know what action to take, although he
ses no way of getting around the law,
which provides specifically that no
deer shall be killed
Mr. Lincoln is at an utter loss to
account for the presence of deer in the
state, although he is of the opinion
that they must have escaped from
some game preserve. During his in
cumbency of the office of state fish
and game warden there have been four
deer killed, and in each instance the
hunter has been fined for so doing.
These animals stray into the state oc-
casionally from Minnesota or from
some game preserve, but it was not
supposed there was any such number
in existence as is reported from Pot-
tawattamie county.
