There is nothing better for young
pigs than oats. Make platform in the
pasture and scatter oats on this The
pigs will eat every kernel and reject
the husks. Sweep the husks off every
day and keep the platform clean,
Select the pigs desired for breeders
from sows with large filters.
The pasture is the pigs paradise.
Keep them there.
Put up shelter in one corner and
keep the bed clean and dry.
Keep the pigs growing, for the early
market is the best price, as a rule.
Separate them in uniform lots Put
the small pigs together, as the strong
ones always rob the weaker ones and
fight them away from the feed.
The feeder should be a watchful and
thoughtful person.
Keep trough or tank Of clean wa
ter in every pig pasture. The pigs en-
joy drink of fresh water as much as
man does.
Throwing the feed into the trough
does not constitute feeder.
Salt, sulphur and charcoal should be
kept in every feeding lot.
Some folks make more out Of their
breeding sows than they do from their
cows, but these are the ones who know
what 1t means to take good care Of
things.-Farm Journal.

Clear Up the Fields.


After the haying and harvesting have
been completed the fields should be
gone over and the headlands Of plowed
fields and fence corners cleared Of any
weeds and bushes that may have start
ed into growth. These will thrive won
derfully If only let alone, but this
should be no part Of the farmers
creed or practice. A little careessness
in this respect will be regretted in the
time to come, according to the old say
ing, zone years seeding makes seven
years wedding" 1t would be good
idea to get rid of all unnecessary In
terror fences as fast as possible, as
these are coming to be only nuisance.
Once they were considered necessary,
but that time has passed, and with our
farming machinery the less fencing the
better.

women Cannot Cut diamonds.

"a lot of women seem to be possessed
these days of an ambition to learn the
trade of diamond cutting" the New
York Sun reports one jeweler as say
ing. every little while an applicant
for situation as an apprentice gives
us call. But we can't afford to give
them trial. They can never master
the art. In other branches Of the jew
elry trade women have made some I'M
qualified successes. Not one Of Ewes
daughters, from royalty down, should
say, that isn't an artist in the wearing
of diamonds. Many are well versed
in the tricks of buying and selling them,
while others give excellent satisfaction
in polishing and preparing them
for the market. But when it comes to
the real cutting of the stones they lack
the patience, judgment and steadiness
of nerve which constitute the experts
stock in trade"

The Helmet In the schoolroom

German schoolmasters are said to
have had much to do with the victory
of the Germans in their late war with
France, and in this connection Sir
Henry Roscoe tells this incident Of his
inspection Of the professional school In
Rouen, France: Among the usual OBJ
iects l noted with surprise Prussian
soldiers helmet On being asked why
he placed 1t there the schoolmaster
stated that it was picked up in the
streets. of Rouen during the German
invasion. Ana he added that it was Of
great service to him, for when the
scholars did not attend to their work
be used to bring this down and put it
in his desk and, pointing to it, say:
Now, if you do not make progress and
learn properly this will happen to you
again. The surest way to bring 1t
upon you is to neglect your studies and
grow up in ignorance and to become In
ferior in intellectual training. The
display of that helmet explained the
director, never fails to bring the blush
of shame to the cheeks Of my students
and to rouse their patriotism and their
zeal for their studies.

mony shoNed that Fenner left his
wife and child about two years ago.
and since then they had existed with
the help of the town and neighbors.
Here is t Story of the judicial pro
ceedings:
Fenner SAID he was a regularly or
Gained minister OF the gospel. and
travelled from place 80 place preaching.
lie LEFT his pension TO his wife and said
ne was unable TO do any manual work
When asked how he supposed his wife

We do not quote this particular

Holy Jumpers" Similar follies arise
in every denomination, depending
solely on the mental slant of the in

men who cheerfuily thrust upon the

right to ask Him TO undertake. They
