We always consider that 1t takes
good ability on the part of any man to
carry a bunch OF hogs through and
keep them thrifty from start to finish
without single setback. 1t cannot be
done on corn and water, and, indeed,
In many instances It cannot be done on
corn, pasture and water. If you have
a big bunch you win notice that there
viii be one of feed here and one there,
and some win be slow about coming
out of the pen and be Of course indif-
ferent to their feed. These pigs stand
still in growth and give the owner
worry.
While we do not believe In promiscu-
ously doping hogs, thereby running the
risk of injurlng their digestive organs,
at the same time we think ordinarily
It pays to throw In few extras.
For instance. we have found Il an
excellent thing TO use little coal tar
dip In the slop once or twice week
While this is quite unpalatable and
must be used in quantities varying
from one.quarter to one-half a pint I'm
a fifty gallon barrel Of slop, at the
same time If the pigs appetites are
kept sharp they win stand for this
quantity. The feeder, however, must
learn just how much they will use and
give them what his judgment dictates.
There is no danger Of OVERRIDING it,
because II you get 1t too strong hogs
win not eat their slop. Our thought is
that the coal tar destroys internal par
asites, and these are the cause OF many
of the hogs ailments Even little pigs
month or six weeks old that are be-
ginning to eat should not be passed by.
We have never known one to be in
jurod by It. while, on the other hand,
its use has in many cases that have
been brought to our attention kept
large lunches OF hogs absolutely
healthy until they were sent to market
at good weights-Iowa Homestead.

EUROPEAN BEACHES.

Their Methods and Bathing Suits Very
Different From Ours.
In Europe there IS no lounglng on
the beach in bathing suits. On this
point the foreigner Is apt to crIticIse
the American woman and TO point out
that when the women in Europe put
on bathing suits it is for the purpose
of bathing and not Of sitting on the
beach, high and dry, out OF the reach
Of even the largest wave There are
many reasons for this. One Is the con-
slderation that prevents me from max
ing any illustrations OF them. They
generally are not fit for sight or pub
location. II would take very small
wave indeed TO thoroughly drench the
most elaborate of the costumes com
monty worn by the ladies' throughout
Europe when they go bathing OF
course the conditions are different.
In Europe madame does not have TO
cross the beach In her scanty attire.
When she enters her bathhouse she Is
IN full street regalia, and us the house
Is then wheeled out into the water.
when she energies for her dip she Is
visible only for the brief time 1t takes
to plunge into the water. and she en-.
joys her swim without the encum-
brance Of skirts. When her bathhouse
Is wheeled back and she appears on
the beach she is again in street cos.

beaches on the continent, such as the
