THE CARE OF CHILDREN,

which seeks to Improve the condition OF
children. Children are the fathers Of
the coming race. and our national life
depends on cur educating and safe
guarding the child. Two important
movements approach the welfare of the
child from different sides. For some
years we have seen the Increase In the
number Of Juvenile courts. until now

IRON ORE OUTLOOK.

has been estimated at I5O,UOO,OOO tons.

But that poor lonesome kid interrupted further
conversations by dancing around like a freckled
terrier what's renewing the acquaintance of his
master after quite considerable separation. He
bowed us into his sod house like he was entertaining
royalty and from the grin that revoved three con-
secutive times around his face it wasn't hard to
savvy that joy had stampeded him and sorrer had
clumb tree.
Now it's my opinon-which the same isn't
worth cuss, Lord knows! being generally dealt
out with free and reckless hand when the spirit
moves rne-its my opinion that the real joylessness
of mortal existence is dleness. Them that have
considerable less practice in being busy than me,
differs with there, and perhaps they ought to
know; but | still maintain I'm right, especially
if the idleness referred to is stuck in the dead
center of four thousand acres of sage-bruSh aalfy
bleating sheep and miscellaneous scenery that
has fallen into the habit of looking precisely sim
liar upon each and every occasion whatsoever.
eff you want to set a human critter to wonder
ing why the good Lord took the trouble to
make him anyhow just maroon him in the midst
of job lot of picturesque environments with the
wool the outside. If so it isn't that he gets
preoccupied at times in keeping his knee-caps from
gliding round behind, he wouldn't have any more
regard for the internal fitness of things than the
misinformation a monument. Let your ideas
filter through the everlasting symphony of adult
sheep that ought to know better but don't, and
what you got? The first thing you savvy, your
imagination's working overtime trying to keep up
with the demands made upon it, and more curious
crltters-birds reptiles, ct Cet'ry-are chasing you
around than was ever writ up circus poster.
That was what had been eating the kid, and

entertainment he furnished me and the kid, |

Pected had happened when Moses came trail

change in his pusonal appearance was SO startling
that came near choking to death my mortal
breath. | was for demanding some explanations
forthwith and irnmejt, but Moses avoided me with
tenacious success.
But just before turned in found him sitting on
a granite boulder looking up at the stars and ex-
PeCtorating signs at regular and right frequent
intervals. As l approached him [ heard him
mumbing to himself, and | got closer l made
out that he was quoting poetry.
Here, thinks l, is where we ropes Moses to
tree and hikes out for the lunatic commish. Just
then he looked at me with the shiniest eyes, then
elevated his optics to the heavens.

"'Oh, go to bazes!' he yells, jumping to his
feet It's real queer gent can't enjoy the beauties

think much of the circumstance for awhile, being
of the opinion that he'd materialize all right ganst

what had happened the night previous, and we
started scouting.
After about two hours OF the heart-renderest

brought up short. 1t certainly was the most

Shot sIs Mountain Lion.

One Of the biggest mountain lions

ing over nine feet from tip to tip; and

cave ii the gyp hills. near here, by
George 6teubenville Of Okeene.
He came upon the lion unexpected
ly, while exploring the cave with a
party Of friends. and was armed only
with twenty-five calibre revolver. It
had been known for some weeks that
q marauder Of some sort, presumably
q mountain lion. was playing havoc
with poultry and calves. It had been
seen disappearing in the darkness sew
eral times, but no one had gone near
enough to get q shot at it.
Steubenville was the only one Of
the party who was armed at all when
they came upon the beast, which was
evidently prepared to put up a stir
fight. The cave was dimly lighted by
q lantern carried by the exploring
party, which made good Workmanship
difficult, but Steubenville was fortu-
nate enough to hit the panther in the
eye, killing it instantly.

Is tipped up. bedding and all, and any
nth which may have accumulated un-
derneath IL cleaned out. ..9 & ii
When the floor Is cleaned, the over
lay IL let down and the bedding
thrown OF on the floor for absorbent,
being replaced by fresh straw at least
once week. When the overlap Ii
placed in the corner Of the pen, that
portion Of the floor should be raised
somewhat.
Both forms of overlap, now in use
in the piggery, were constructed from
secondhand inch lumber; they are
raised OF the floor by inch cleats
which hold the boards together. A
two by four was set up around the
outer edges Of the overlap to hold the
bedding in place. These were nailed
to the boards below and strengthened
by triangular pieces Of scantling fas-
tened in the angle formed by the two
by-four and the board floor.
In the use of these overlays three
facts have been strikingly noticeable,
viz:
/. Pigs invariably use the overlays,
by preference, sleeping on the bare
boards IL there should be no straw on
them.
2. OF the 300 or 400 hogs that have
been housed in the piggery where
these overlays are used there are few
instances where the bedding on the
overlays has been befouled by excreta
and the tendency to this is much less
in the case of the overlays in the pen
corners where the pigs are not tram
ping over them.
3. We have not had a crippled hog
In the piggery since these devices have
been in use. We dislike the plan Of
boarding or planking over the entire
cement floor surface Of a pen during
the winter even for narrowing, as dung
and urine work in between and under
the boards or planks, producing very
unsanitary conditions.
Figs. and also show one Of the
two forms of doors used in the pig
gerry. These doors swing inward from
the top and are opened from the CEN
trail alley by a small rope operating
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1906-06-15

over two pulleys. A light steel rod
shaped door spring, fastened to the
casing and top Of door, forces it shut.
Both the door casing and sill are
widened by two-by-six inch boxing
which prevents the pigs from getting
their noses under the bottom or side
of the door to get out. A pig can come
in but cannot get out if the door is
closed.
The only objection to this form Of
door is that an extremely severe south
erly gale pushes them open little
and lets in too much cold; this is pre-
vented by the use of small bolts for
emergency cases.
On the north side of the building the
doors were constructed to slide up and
down, but these could not be used on
the south side without shutting OF
some light, the windows being directly
over the doors.
In addition to a door, each pen on.
the south side has window above It
and also hinged panel to one side
OF the window, which may be opened
in suitable weather to admit addi-
tional sunshine and fresh air.
