BULLIOT'S BET.
A Bankers Wager ON St. Svvithin's
Day Rain Legend.

A Bankers Wager ON st. Syvithin's
Day Rain Legend.
There were few frenzied financiers In
zenith century II the banker Bulliot, Of
whom the following story Is told, can
be taken as an example: The feast OF
st. Swithin, July 10, 1925, was par
ticularly wet and stormy day.
Trusting implicitly in the old super
stition, which says that If it rains on
St. Swithins day it will rain for forty
days thereafter, Bulliot opened pool
for every one who was willing to bet
against him. The affair attained so
much nc;orety that the wager was re-
duced to writing.

reads the memorandum, ut rains more
or little during forty days successfully
Bulliot will be considered to have
gained, but IL it cease to rain for only
one day during that time Bulliot has
lost"
For two weeks 1t contained to show
er every day, and SO confident did the
banker become that he accepted as
stakes not only money, but gold head
ed canes, jewels, snuffboxes and even
clothes. When his cash gave out he
offered notes and bills Of exchange.
Another week passed, and Bulliot's
star was still in the ascendant.
But when the twenty-second day
sank into the west bright and cloud
less the unfortunate banker was ruined.

How much sleep do men need? Jer-
envy Taylor was content with three
hours, Baxter with four, Wesley with
six. Bismarck and Gladstone needed
eight, but Goethe, Napoleon, Mirabeau
and Humboldt professed that they
could get along very well with less.
Idnnaeus, the naturalist, was one of
chose who robbed themselves Of sleep
during their earlier years and made
up for it later in life. In his wakeful
periods during his old age he would
retire to his library, take down one OF
his own works and read 1t with sigh

Basket BALL GAME

Last Friday evening the Sauk
Centre high school boys went down to
st. Cloud and played a game Of
Basket Ball with the st. Cloud Highs.
st. Cloud thought it was a snap and il
was but not for st. Cloud.
Since that time it has been reported
that the st. Cloud boys have been
practicing thirty-six hours out of the
twenty-four and they are coming up
here tomorrow evening to lick our
boys out of their boots. Maybe they
will and perhaps. If they do they
will have to go some and then some
more and then take breathing spell
and start again.
Sank Centre has one of the best
high school basket ball teams in the
state. Their games have not been as
we'll attended as they should have been.
The game tomorrow night will be a
"corker." Everybody turn out and
root for the boys. ST.. Cloud rooters
will be on deck, and let us show the
rooters from "the City with the Lid
on" that we can root some ourselves.

ScaIding Feed for Hogs.

However well hogs may do on ear
corn straight, it is settled
fact that they will do better
II the corn is ground and
scalded. The corn should be she'll
ed and ground rather fine. When the
water is heated to boiling, remove
from the fire and stir in the meal and
let it stand an hour or so until the
temperature is about blood heat, TAX
Ing great care not to burn the pigs by
feeding too hot. At least one part
shorts to three parts corn will prove a
cheaper feed and give better results
than all corn. A little oil meal should
be used frequently. 1t is not neces-
sary that you have a feed cooker, as
on nearly every farm during the hog
feeding season there is an idle gaso-
line stove which will answer the pur-
pose grandly. If your hogs are not
doing well, try this feed at least once
day, taking great care not to over
gorge them, and in four or five days
you will think you've found the secret
to swine feeding. You'll be surprised
at the increase in pounds from the
same amount of feed, and the decrease
in time required to make a given
growth.-E. Jesse Reed, Crawford Co.,

Smoothness in Swine.

Smoothness in Swine.
Swine for selling on the general
market should be uniform, that is, II q
carload Is to be fattened at one time,
they should be chosen so that they viii
all be Of the same age when starting.
This makes them develop into a car
load OF very even smooth hogs. This
smoothness has a commercial value,
as buyers will pay more for it than
for a carload Of mixed hogs. This is
not all fancy by any means; it is not
because the buyer likes to see a
smooth lot Of hogs. He has been in
the business too Tong to be caught in
that way, but If the hogs are nearly
Uniform In size and flesh, he finds it
perfectly easy to estimate what their
value is, because he can figure on the
value OF one hog and simply multiply
that by the number in the herd. When
herds are made up of all kinds and
sizes, the professional buyer knows
ne cannot do this. He knows that he
has not the time to pay attention to
each particular animal in the group
and figure out what its value will be
when slaughtered. AS he has not the
time he must estimate the whole herd
and he is certain to make the price
low enough so that he will be left a
liberal margin for miscalculations. It
is doubtful If car of mixed hogs ever
brings its real market value, for the
cause above indicated.

Shoeinu Horses,

The science of horseshoeing
is one that is being taught
in our agricultural colleges, and
this practice is to be commended.
Perhaps our agricultural colleges will
have as great an influence on the horse
shoeing industry as the veterinary COL
leges have had upon the practice Of
veterinary medicine. There was a
time when many of the practitioners
of veterinary medicine were not only
ignorant men, but were ignorant Of
the calling to which they had devoted
themselves. For many years veteri-
nary colleges have been sending out
thousands of graduates, who have i'm
proved the situation. We trust that
the thousands of young men going out
from the agricultural colleges will
know enough about shoeing to see that
their horses are shod right.
