Skim Milk and Growing Pigs.
The cost of growing pork in Canada,
according to the Ontario Station, is
given by the head Of the station as
four and one-half cents from two
months old pigs till they are about
seven months old, when grain fed. He
says: Our experiments go to show that
by Judicious use of skim milk in con-
nection with the grains or meals we
are able to produce a pound Of pork
Tor from one cent to one and one-half
cent less than where the meals alone
are used. Our experience with the
raising of pigs has been that we can
Keep a good SOW in perfect condition
q year round for $15. Estimating the
meal at Il cent per pound SIS will
keep that sow a year, including cost of
pasture and allowing so much for
cost Of building and everything else,
barring the labor, which is not includ.
ed. From the average SOW we may
anticipate eight pigs, If she produces
only one litter, and that reduces the
cost OF the young pig below So. If she
gives two filters, it costs somewhere
around 81 per pig. We may say 81 a
pig. If You add $1.5O a pig to 81,
which We say is the cost of a 200
pound pig. you get 50, aud the very
lowest price We have got this year
has been $40. There is still 81 clear
profit and the manure, and the manure
that m from the pig is of a very
superior quality.-Indiana Farmer.

Defends It's Sewer Beds.

The people of Vineland are watch
ing with keenest interest progress of
the suit recently instituted by the
State Board of Health, charging pollu-
ton of a branch of the Maurice River
by DRAWINGS from the borough's sewer
beds. The beds were located by CON
sent of the State Sewerage Commits
sion, and the Borough Council Las been
running them for a year under the sug
gestion and direction of experts en-
ployed by the United States Govern
ment. Everything has been done to
meet the requirements of the State
Board of Health, hence the suit was a
surprise. The borough was bonded to
the limit to install the sewer, light and
water plants, and every effort has been
made to put them on a paying basis.
The expense of moving the beds means
financial distress, and the outcome Of
the suit is momentous. Already there
is talk of suits to compel the State to
pay the cost of removal should the
court decide adversely to the interests
of Vineland.

Looked Like One.

A sleepy passenger in the smoking
car of a train coming into town yes
terday morning was startled to observe
p%rotruding above the back of the seat
in front of him the head of what ap-
peared to be a reptile of some sort.
He gazed through the smoke-dinlmed
atmosphere fascinated and observed
that the man on the seat ahead turned
and contemplated the thing without
emotion or surerise. When the head
had raised about three yards, more or
less-probably less-and gave a loud
and distinct hiss the Mortified observer
rose and made a dash for the door,
yelling "Snakes!" as he ran. When
he encountered the conductor that
official made light of the story, and
when the man was coaxed back to his
seat he found that the SNAKE was
only a large fat goose which, being
confirAd in a basket on the seat, had
stuck its head and neck out to get the
air. Several other observers agreed
with the sleepy mar that it certainly
did look like a ake."-Philadelphia

Diving For sponses.

The prasticability of the method now
being employed extensively in the
sponge industry in procuring this prod

percentage of the Tarpon Springs YES

of hooking to the new one of diving.
In order successfully t. accomplish de-

it was thought necessary to employ
Greeks who are accustomed to the

many of those who have followed

helmet and leaden shoes and pull
sponge with from thirty to sixty feet
of water overhead. But recent expert
ments by a few have demonstrated
that a little practice and confidence,

Girl Who Shot Her Father.


Miss Charlena Pemberton, who shot

insane and removed to the New Jersey
State Hospital at Trenton for treat

a planned to take her fathers life
n then end her own. She said that
she had made a will and that it would
be found with two letters on the
beach, where she had partly I'M
dressed that night and entered the
surf, but was prevented from drown
ing Eerself by a vision of her mother
in the waves. The letters, which we're
given to Dr.. Pemberton, were merely a
reiteration of paragraphs. She warned
her brother of her father that he might
hypnotic him, and urged him to stand
by his mother in all her interests. To
ne mother she told of making a will
~Dequeathing her personal property.
There was no reference, however. to an
attempt at murder. DR.. Pemberton
when questioned by the physicians be-
lore h commitment said that only a
few days before he had warned his
daughter to be careful of her health,
and that she replied that she didn't
care what became of her, that she
wanted to die. The brother, Cecil, told
how Charlena took her mothers re-
volver. Charlena was accompanied to
the hospital by her mother and DR.. H.
B. Slocum. She made no objection.
Charlena had been trying for some
time to effect a reconciliation between
her father and mother. The young
woman, it is said, keenly felt the dis
grace following her fathers sensational
divorce suit, and was anxious that her
parents be reunited under one roof.

Words between her and the doctor
were exchanged, and the latter or
dered her from his home. A few days
ago Mrs. Pemberton met the doctor on
the street. The doctor was about to
step out of a drug store when he was
lashed with a whip by Mrs. Pember-
ton, who declares, it is said, that she
had been insulted. DR.. Pemberton is
still suffering from shock. He is re-
puted to be worth 100000. Mrs. Penn

Points on Stock Feeding.

Farm animals must possess quality
before they can be fed and reared with
marked success.
More food is required to make a
given gain as the birth period is re-
ceded from.
When periods of stagnatjon occur be-
fore maturity, the food of maintenance,
fed during such periods. brings little or
no return.
When development is seriously ar
rested at any period before its com.
pletion, the feeding quality of the ami
NAL is affected adversely.
When development is unduly forced
by stimulating foods while the animal
is young, its feeding qualities are in
jured.
In the fattening process, when ami
mails are so ripened that they cease to
make good gains, further feeding can
only be done at a loss.
In selecting a ration for feeding, a
due regard must be had to the chemical
constituents of the food or foods which
compose it.
In nearly all instances a mixed diet
is superior to one composed of any one
food.
In fattening animals the profit or loss
resulting is largely Influenced by the
cost of the animals up to the time
when the fattening begins.
Pregnant animals should be main
tanned in a good condition of flesh.
When animals are exposed to tenn
peratures below what is normal, addi.
tional food proportional to the degree
of the exposure will be necessary to
restore animal heat.
Discomfort from any sort arrests de.
velopment and consequently produces
loss in proportion to the degree and
continuity of the same.-Professor II.

Havoc BY the Cold Snan.

Reports from various parts of the
State show that the recent cold snap
has played havoc in the agricultural
and horticultural districts. The peach
crop seems practically ruined, and
grass and winter wheat undoubtedly
have suffered severely. 1t is expected
the shortage in meadow and pasture
grass resulting from present untoward
conditions will be a serious handicap
in the summer and fall to the dairy
and stock raising interests. Had it not
been for the absence of snow, which
usually protects the roots and stunted
blades from the midwinter cold, the
damage would have been much less Sc.
we're. The long period of mild weather,
too, has lured the growing things into
semi-activity, which has been arrested
rudely by the hand of Jack Frost.
