HUDSON AND FULTON.
Great Nautical Pageant Planned to
Celebrate Noted Voyages.

Great Nautical Pageant Planned to
Celebrate Noted Voyages.
The tendency of the age toward com
blnatlon is illustrated in the decision
to combine the observance of the Booth
anniversary Of Henry Hudson's voyage
up the Hudson with the centennial of
steam navigation, says the Boston Tran
script. Hudson entered New York bay
on Sept. II, 1G09 as commander of
the Dutch ship Half Moon. Fulton's
| ClermOnt started on its initial trip Aug.
II, 1907. AS it is proposed to have
the celebration in the last week In Sep
TENDER, 1909, it will not fall upon the
anniversary of either event
1t Is worth noticing that Hudson was
not the earliest navigator who ever en-
tered the waters around Manhattan :;
neither was Fult0n's the first steam
boat. VerrazanO, an italian in the serv-
, Ice of France, anchored In New York
bay more than eighty years before the
Half Moons keel plowed Its waves. 1t
Is probable that other explorers in the
interval between Verrazano and Hud-
son were off the mouth of the great
river But Hudson was the first navi-
gator to ascend the river and to make
the land through which 1t flowed known
to the world. Fulton's Clermont had
several predecessors, but was the FIRST
steamboat to be a commercial success
Her trip from New York to Albany, 100
miles, under her own steam, in thirty
two hours, still remains one of the grea t
events in the worlds history. Fulton
was demonstration rather than an in

ton observance includes a great nautical

models of the Half Moon and the Cler-
mont are to so up the river as far
as Albany, as the originals did i'm their

committee in charge Of the celebration
to invite Holland to contribute the
model of the Half Moon. The Henry

Early Flowing and Seeding.

With due regard to the fertility of the
soil, it is conceded that large yield of
hay depends upon the supply of moist
ure, for which reason the rule with farm

of summer sets in. Sometimes single

Weaving Pigs.

WEAVING pigs will soon be the order
of the day with the hog breeder, says a
writer in Blooded Stock Much care IS
necessary here not to stunt the pig or
stop its growth. | have weaned pigs at
every age up to where they naturally
wean themselves, and have come to the
conclusion that pigs will do best that
are allowed to run with the SOW until
they naturally Wean themselves.
At about three weeks of age the little
fellows will begin to look around Tor
feed. At this age pen should be pro-
vded for them where they can be
coaxed and given a little fresh milk-it
takes very little at tirst-after they have
once tasted the milk they are easy to
call to their feed. Corn should be con-
stantly kept in this little pen or yard
where little pigs have free access to it
all day long. Milk or swill should be
fed little at first and increased grad
ually daily. 1t is all right to give them
all the fresh, clean swill they will drink
up clean at each feed. Never feed little
pigs anything sour or feed them so
much swill that it will stand in the
troughs and sour.
If the old sow is allowed to get in this
pen once a day to lick out the trough
and pick up the dirty corn, so much the
better. Or, better yet, if you can allow
piggy to get into the corn crib and help
himself and scoop out the corn he has
dirtied to the old hogs, thus piggy has
the best of clean, sweet corn and will
thrive marvelously.
Feed piggie this way until you see the
sow is dried up, then remove her and
piggie is weaned and never knew it.

Picking Geese

1t is all right to pluck old geese when
their feathers are ripe and begin TO
mott, which will occur about this time,
and if only the feathers that come easy

pick geese more than once Il year and
not advisable to pick the coslings at
all. In plucking a goose. draw stock
ing over its head to avoid being bitten.
DO not pick the feathers that cover the
wing butts, as it will cause tie wings to
drop. and means lots of trouble for the
goose. Do not pick feathers growing in
