The Strawpile

a hog must show marked evidence of
ripeness and maturity. The two must
go hand In hand. A hog may mature
without having been fed. so as to show
that bloom of condition that is neces-
sary for prime hog or he may have
been fed as we'll as possible and not be
sufficiently mature. Maturity may be
reached at different ages and weights.
The quality Of a prime hog is indicated
by medium sizes. fine clean cut head,
without surplus fat or wrinkles of skin.
medium sized ears of fine texture, hair
| that is fine, straight, silky, and lies
close to body. Skin smooth, pliable and
| free from wrinkles Smooth. nicely ta-
| pering tail, medium size. No undue
coarseness at joints. The form should
| be broad across the back, wide and
well filled hams and shoulders, short
heavy neck, heavy joals and short legs.
He must be symmetrical. smooth and
compact.
He must be well covered with thick
layer of fat on the outside of the car

is set be well filled out on the neck up
to the face. have a broad, fat back,
with much fat on sides and belly, and

must. however. be free from fabbiness.
Threshing Grain as They Skim Milk.
An Oklahoma man Is inventlng
! threshing machine without cylinder.
Instead of knocking the grain out by
the usual way, he blows or throws 1t
out by centrifugal force. It works on
very much the same plan as the milk
separator. The principal part Of the
machine, or where the bundles are fed
into it, is very much like the blower
that handles the straw on an ordinary
thresher. The bundles are pitched
into a self feed that carries them into
a large iron box in which several fans
or wings are revolved at very high
rate Of speed. The grain is thrown
from the straw and to the outside,
where it comes out through a spout
by itself; while the straw is carried
off through the center, and into the
straw stacker. This machine is not
yet come into general use, but it still
an experiment. While this method of
theshing may not seem possible. it
would be no more Of a surprise today
to see grain separated by centrifugal
force than it once was to see cream
and milk separated in the same way.

CRACKSMEN HAD TO RUN
UNSUCCESSFUL EXP L O s o N
SPREAD THE ALARM.

Experienced cracksmen tried to blow
up the heavy safe in the Chicago Ave-
nue. Hand laundry, Chicago avenue and
Twenty-ninth street, early yesterday
morning, but obtained nothing for their
work but pair of cheap cuff buttons
belonging to one of the employees.
The robbers entered the place thru
near window shortly after o'clock,
when there was no police officer on
the beat. For half an hour they worked
diligently soaping the cracks Of the
safe and disabling the telephone trans
mitters. Then pouring nitroglycerine
into a small soapcup, the fuse was
lighted and a loud explosion followed:
The front windows were shattered
and the office was badly wrecked, but
the safe remained intact and the rob-
bers were forced to run before another
attempt could be made.
10 prevent their possible capture, the
thieves had rolled heavy barrel OF
starch across the entrance to the stair
way which leads to the apartments of
the proprietor, George fisherman. Es-
| terman ran into this when he came
down stairs to see what had caused the
! trouble. He notified the police and sew
eral plain-clothes men were sent to IN
spect the premises.
At the conclusion Of their inspection
they announced that the robbers had
left no clue to work on. fisherman had
taken all the cash from the safe Satur-
day afternoon and had the blowing been
successful, the thieves would have OBJ
tanned nothing. The damage to the
place does not interfere with business.

SCOTS EMULSION

We don't put SCOTS Emul-
sion in the class Of advertised
cure-alls; it doesn't belong
there. We hardly like to use
the word "cure" at all, but we
are bound to say that it can be
used for great many troubles
with great satisfaction. Its.
special function is to repair
the waste Of the body when
the ordinary food does not
nourish, and this means that
it is useful in many cases
which are indicated by vast

WOULD SWAP ISLANDS
La Crosse Willing to Do Little Map
Changing.

The Pettibone park question is COM
ing up before the legislature again.
Part Of Barron's island, opposite La
Crosse, Wis, was bought by, A. M.
Pettibone as a memorial park to his
son. It is reached by wagon bridge
from that city, but, being. in Minnesota,
is not under police Jurisdiction. An
attempt was made at the last meeting
of the legislature to have the island
coded by Minnesota, and prominent cit
liens of La Crosse appeared in behalf
of the project.
This year it is proposed to trade an
island in Wisconsin, across the river
from Red Wing, for Barron's island.
Some of the Red Wing citizens object,
and the Pettibone commission has is-
sued an address stating that each case
should stand on it's own merits. The
island is of no use to Minnesota and
La Crosse has expended or appropriated
100000 for it's Improvement. The next
move will depend on the attitude of
Houston county, Minnesota, citizens.

GOSPEL TRAIN RULES
REV. G, H. RUST SAYS THAT PAS
SENGERS NEED MORE THAN
TICKETS,

"Some folks think that all that is
necessary to get to heaven on the ,gos-

c. H. Rust this morning in addressing
the Monday gathering Of Baptist min
listers at First church, but they tor
Not only must the ticket be all right,
but the bearer must also prove that his
life has been all right. The ticket IS
only accepted when presented with
clean hands. On this gospel train no
cars will be found for the accommoda-
ton of drunkards or criminals OF any
sort. But there will be Jim Crow }
car, and passengers will be accommo-
dated without regard to color if their
