An Effective Trough Guard.

One of the greatest troubles WIN
the hog is that he is SO irrepresslpiy

parently feels it his inherent duty 10
crowd every other hog as far ana
forcefully away from the feed as pos

floor. he takes it upon himself to cover
MS much as he can. to keep nosing anu
pushing his fellows. often to ms own

When fed slop in the trough. the Dig

through or over the jam. and get MS

Deep or Light Flowing.

The whole matter resolves itself into
IL question of soil and climate. If a
soil is thin. then ii is manifest that it
would be very foolish to dip the pillow
into the raw sllbsoil and bring it to the
top, though perhaps subSoiling would
improve matters by helping the drain
Ing and allowing the roots to pene-
trate downward more easily. Again,
in the matter of climate: in a dry dis
trict shallow blowing nearly always
gives the best reSutS--with grain
crop, at least Often the best whea t
has been grown where the surface
was disked to clean off the rubbish,
and the seed drilled in down to the
hard. unmoved soil. The reason of
this is that in dry district the plant
has to depend largely on the ground
moisture. which rises by capillary ac-
ton much better through firm soil than
through loose plowel land. Where
bare following is practced on stiff
clays, then the shallow system is the
best, for it means ever so much less
soil to move per acre where there are
repeated ploWings. civilizations. etc,
to be done. On the whole. probably
shallow blowing. combined with an oc
casional stirring of the subsol with n
subsOiler attached to the plow, is the
best.

The Value of Being SOciable.

TO simply live alone, with no pro
vision for the Qualifications of the So
cal instinct, is apt to prove too severe
II strain upon the reserve forces of
even the happieSt marriage. There is
more excuse to be made for the man
who seeks society outside the home
wherein no thought is given to social
pleasure. while the wife is apt to grow
petty and personal. and so less attrac-
tive as she shuts herself away from
Intercourse with others. This dropping
out is very easy. but even when pros
perity comes. and large social functions
are possible. it is too late to gain that
most valuable possession friendship.

cial success. To have and to hold a
place in the social life Of the world Is
not only the right but the duty Of the
young wife who desires to have home
in its trucst and best sense.

Pupils Are Murdered.

The Berlin newspapers are publish
ing a call for an 'associaton of pa
rents to stop the felonious assaults by
teachers on little children" The Prus-
sian law gives the teacher the right to
punish a child, male or female, and II
he kills a pupil he gets the benefit Of
the doubt.
Carl Wolfram. a teacher in Huttung,
struck crippled child 80 times with
ruler. Then he jumped upon the poor
victim and threw him to the ground.
striking him with his fist. crying all
the time: "Confounded cripple, | am
going to make you cold"
Though these awful circumstances
were fully authenticated and though
the boy died two days later, the judge
fined Wolfram only $50 and did not
take away his certificate as teacher.

width of the side boards will depend
upon the size of the hogs to be fed. A

barley as Feed for Horses.

Except on the Pacific coast barley
is not extensively used as feed in the
United States doubtless owing to the
fact that it is in such demand for
brcN ing purposes that it is high in
price Wherever it is grown. however,
it is frequently possible to secure at a
low cost grain which is off color owing
to rain or fog during harvest and
which for this or some other reason is
unfit for brewing but valuable as feed
The barley grown on the Pacific coast
is extensively used in the feeding Of
horses. Its use for this purpose is old
in other countries. The Arabs fed their
horses unground barley, and it is used
successfully by the Berbers Of north
Africa. In Europe its value is gener
ally recognized. Barley may be fed
whole to horses having good teeth and
not required to do severe work. Since
ground barley. like wheat. forms a
pasty mass when mixed with saliva. it
is regarded as more satisfactory to
crush than to grind it if for any rea-
son it is considered undesirable to feed
the grain whole.
