FEEDING KIrCHEN sLoP.

Most feeders of swine are too care
less about the Steps used from the
kitchen and do not hesitate to use
any sort of dish water in which to
mix the grains used in feeding. II
one has a lot of greasy dish water
in which soap powders or soap of any
kind has not been too freely used it
is excellent stuff in which to mix tue
bran and other ground food for swine.
Il soap powders are used then the
siop ought not to be used, for it will
make trouble for the swine, and par
ticularly for the sloats. An excellent
plan is to drop a few pieces of char
coal in the dishwater before using it
for mixing the ground food. In this
way one furnishes little medicine
in advance for the dyspepsia that may
ensue. Unless the kitchen slop is
quite rich it is of little use in mixing
skim milk will be much better, and
even clear warm water will be quite
as good as dish water, consisting
mainly of SLOPPY water and little grease
from the dishes or kettles.-Indianap

seven to eight months old and weigh
ng from a hundred and seventy-five

he smaller the animal, the less the
ICED of support and the greater the
gain from a bushel of corn, the hog
should be sent to market as soon as
le meets market conditions. Hogs
If this weight are perferred Cor the

bring almost as high a price as the
heavy hogs, and sometimes. command

Therefore the farmer who is grow
ng hogs on skim milk, corn and grass
should not under ordinary conditions
carry his hogs to over two hundred
pounds weight There are, however,
conditions In which it pays to carry
hem farther, for example, when corn
Is relatively cheap and pork COM
nands a good price However, when
hogs are four cents or under on the
farm, we would net carry them to over

We have visited auctions in num-

and found that the perferred hog
here is from hundred and seventy
Eve pounds in weight, about eight
months old and just in the condition
hat the ordinary western farmer
would like to have his hogs previous
o six weeks finish.
Where the farm is large, however,
and is given over to cattle feeding,
Or where there is large amount OF

1t will be noticed that the weight
of hogs in the Chicago market varies
from about two hundred and ten TO
two hundred and forty pounds, accord
ing to the season. Inasmuch as there
are a great many brood sows and hogs

as in some instances considerable

There is another question of more

between the two, except that the glu

A Great Schoolmaster.

HE managed to make the boys feel
that it was a terrible thing to lose
his respect" writes a former pupil
of DR.. George Moberly, for many
years head master of the Winchester
School, England His personality
was inspiring and impressive. In "Six
Great Schoolmasters' the author says
that Doctor Moberly would occasion
ally use his powers of ridicule and
sarcasm to an extent that seems
scarcely fair.
He had been much annoyed by let
tiers from the mother of one of the
boys, begging him to see personally
ed with her sons health. Doctor
Moberly determined to put stop to
this, so one day in public, before a
whole class, he said to the boy:
"B.,I have heard from your mother,
saying that you are. to wear flannel
and to masticate your food. See that
you do it,"
1t is possible to imagine the agon-
lied letter which went home by the
next post, begging that no more such
letters should reach the doctor
A boy once brought to Doctor Mo-
berly a letter from his mother, asking
for leave out. The boy had been
smoking, and the letter smelled
strongly of the forbidden weed.

FUTURE OF THE SHEEP.

Sooner or later, says the Journal
ON Agriculture sheep are destined to
become more or less popular in the
corn field. Already they have firmly
established themselves In some ada
cent sections, but as yet the greae
States of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri
Illinois and sections OF Indiana nave
not come to the point of regarding
the flock as one of the farms neces-
sary equipments. It is the firm con-
viction of the Prairie Farmer that
sooner or later the farmers of these
sections, in spite of the high prices
that land commands, are going to
turn to the sheep and consider it
as much a feature of the farm as the
steer or the hog. Western ranges
are growing smaller and extensive
sheep production is becoming restrict
ed, but the demand for mutton is
rapidly increasing. In his annual re-
port General Manager Leonard of the
Union Stock Yard, in commenting
upon the sheep situation covers the
matter in the following language:
During the last decade a most re
markable growth in the demand for
mutton has taken place in the United
States and England. The demand for
wool is also increasing and values
rising. On the other hand, the
worlds supply of sheep is decreaa-
ing. Owing to long drouths, both
in Australia and South America the
range territory is being rapidly re-
strcted and its ability to supply NUT
ton and wool is unequaled to the de-
mand. 80 il f&li sISklSE
"Henceforth America must depes.I
more and more upon its farming Sec
tons for sheep, which, if well bred
and well cared fer, will prove especial
ly profitable to the small farmer as
a means of increased income and soil
fertility"
At the present time sheep and
lambs are very high, SO that the pur-
chaser seeking stock ewes finds diff
Guilty in securing any at prices he can
afford to pay. In view of this fact we
do not advise farmers to Immediately
rush into the sheep business. AS re-
action is coming when values will de-
cline. At present the wise course
seems to favor timely preparation
with the ultimate intention of buying
a flock when prices are such that
there is no question of wisdom of the
investment.

also left behind them at the line all claims to protection from the United States. But at that time these vol. unteers were not seeking protection, but offering it to fellow Americans who were apparently without it and were in immediate danger of death.
 When the excitement had been dis pelled somewhat, and the ardor of the American battalion had been allowed to cool of, all came to the realization that serious International complica- tions might ensue, in spite of the fact that they had been requested to cross the line by the chief executive of the state of Sonora.
 International complications" is a mere platitude to the majority of the men who followed Governor YZabal across the line at Naco. While more trivial occurrences have plunged oth- erwise friendly countries into bloody warfare, nothing so serious is expect ed to result from this semi-filibuster- ing expedition. And even if it does, very few of those who were members of the party will regret their seem ingly nasty action.
 American lives were in danger, and that was enough for them.
 The only American who laid himself open to an attack for his part in the affair was Capt. Rynning, who, in ad- dition to being the commanding off. cer of the Arizona rangers, is also a ing from all reports of a public and private nature, it ~as due principally to the ranger captains long expert ence as a soldier and his executive ability and methods of discipline that the Americans of whom he had com mand did not have any serious trou- ble on foreign soil, and it is also a credit to the men themselves, one-day soldiers as they were. Not a shot ! was fired by them, and not shot was fired at them by the "revolutionists." " And they came back to American soil as they had left it.
 It is to be hoped that none of those who partook in the adventure will be- come involved in any serious trouble, and most of all it is hoped that noth- ing but praise shall accrue to those who had a prominent part in the stir ring event.
