JIM Larson Of Saint Paul, as
slstant secretary Of state and genial
to the core, recently INDUCED in
decidedly nifty pearl gray hat and
then went down to his old home at
Redwood Falls to give the boys a
treat. The hat proved his undoing.
The train couldn't make time, the
big assistant secretary sat on his
cigars, in the morning he thought
lessly drank salt in his coffee, and
finally when he went duck hunting
next day the run Of tough luck cul-
minated with an accidental and
rather dangerous soaking in a marsh
lake. Friends dragged him ashore,
hat and all. The hat didn't last long
after that. He threw it out on a
mud fiat and has been haunting the
st. Paul hat stores every since for
replicat of his first love, big black
fedora. The foregoing statements
are authenticated by a member of
the hunting party.

Sanborn Sentinel: The railroad
company is economizing in every
way possible and last week the | &
M. way freight crew that has al
ways had three brakeman had their
force reduced to two men,. This
week new order of things went in
to effect on the Vesta branch which
shows how closely the company
figures. One of the brakeman on
the Vesta branch goes as far as
Wabasso in the morning where he
changes onto the Marshall train and
goes to Marshall, returning in the
evening and coming in on the last
trip over the Vesta branch. This
arrangement allows the company to
do the work with three men that
formerly required four. We UNDER
stand that the force of men is being
cut down in all departments and
that express will be reduced to a
minimum.

APPLES AS HOG FOOD.
WindfaIIs Can Be ProfitabIy Harvested
by the Pigs.

l have had considerable experience
in feeding windfalls from the apple
orchard to hogs, writes a farmer in
Farm and Home. I allow my hogs to
run in the orchard until the apples
begin to drop heavily, if this ever oc-
ours. Then when I begin to pick up
waste fruit for cider, drying, or apple
butter, I feed to the hogs the parings
and all the fruit that cannot use.
The fattening qualities of apples seem
to be quite high, for my animals thrive
and do well.
In addition to consuming waste
fruit and a great many injurious in
sects, the hogs root over the ground
and keep it we'll stirred. This is very
beneficial to trees and is about the
only method of cultivation 1 prac-
tice. When waste apples are not
equally available the hogs are in good
condition for finishing on corn, oats,
peas or buckwheat meal. Because of
their thrifty condition induced by this
succu1ent feed, they put on fat very
rapidly, and are ready for butcheriD g
at almost any time.

the stalks would pile up and have to
be carried out.
The other thing suggested was
the folly of mans working hard and
saving and scrimping generally while
he allows few extravagances and
carelessness to rob him of a large
part of the fruits Of his labors. Three
or four hours work and few feet of
lumber would have fixed those man
gers so the horses could not waste
their hay, and the whole cost of the
job would have been paid back in
two or three weeks. Most of US have
some cherished folly like this which
we cling to, and which, perhaps, we
are so used to that we are uncon-
scious of it. If man works faithful
ly he should get ahead in the world
not very rapidly, perhaps. but percep-
tibly. If he does not, it may be the
fault of circumstances, but more often
it is his own:

WASTE AND WANT.
Easy for Farmer to Lose Much Feed
by Poor Feed Box.

Recently 1 was at the home Of a
friend who, although a hard-working,
and in many respects a good farmer,
does not seem to be getting rich very
fast We were at the barn, and went
in the stables. He has those old-fash-
Toned V-shaped managers, open at the
top. and the horses had pulled their
hay out, scattered 1t all over the
stalls and tramped it into the manure.
At the present excessively high prices
for feed Of all kinds it would not take
them long at the rate they were going
to waste a good many dollars, says a
writer in Farm and Home. If I were
losing hay like that 1 don't believe I
could sleep nights.
1t suggested the folly of feeding
roughness of any kind so that stock
can pull it down and waste it. The
open manager is an abomination. The
old-time rack is no better. With
either the stock are free to waste as
much as they feel like, and there are
some horses and cattle which seem
to take a Joy in pulling or throwing
out their feed. The best feeding con
triyance for hay that 1 have ever
seen was made as shown in the IL
lustrations There is never any
waste here. The greatest objection
l had to it was that in feeding corr

FEEDING RACKS.
A Convenient and Cheap Arrangement
for Handling Large Flock.

AS feeders will soon begin stirring
around the country in search of feed
ing stock a few hints concerning the
feeding racks may be found helpful
at this time. Racks can be built any
length up to 20 feet that will answer
for either hay, fodder, or grain feed
ing. The floor Of the rack should be
1Sx20 inches wide with side boards for
the floor from 212 to 4 inches high
For yearlings or older sheep the bot
tom of the rack should be about Is
inches from the ground and ) feet is
about the right height for the rack
For Stats, old barrel slaves serve the
purpose very well and if placed about
inches apart the sides of the rack
can be built perpendicular so that the
sheep can eat with their heads inside
the rack between the Stats.
In filling the racks it is well to re-
member that if the hay is put in loose
ly, the sheep will soon have it all out
under their feet, and if too much hay
is put in at one time they will eat
only a portion of it as they soon be
come Disguised with any kind of
roughage that they have breathed on
for awhile. The finer parts of the hay,
such as clover heads and leaves will
not be found by the sheep if they are
given more than they will eat up clean
at one time. Good strong racks can
be made of inch planking.
The rack should be cleaned thor
oughly once every day. If ear corn is
fed the cohs should always be thrown
out before each meal and under nc
| conditions should chickens be allow
| ed to roost on the racks over the
| troughs II the sheep refuse to eat
| from any one section of the rack OF
trough the reason should be found oui
at once and the racks cleaned ano
even scrubbed if necessary. Sheer
feeders who use corn instead of screen
ings claim that very good results car
be had by feeding them twice a da!
with plenty of good corn-fOdder anC
alfalfa hay. In the northern districts
however, when sheep are brought into
the feed yards, screenings and clover
hay form practically the whole diet.
We understand that a great many
farmers are expecting to make star
feeding sheep this year and those wh'
have not had any previous experience
in this line would do well to have thu
racks and troughs in shape before tn
active feeding season opens.

feet long. About three inches from
each end of the two sides cut a groove
across two inches wide and three
quarters inches deep for the end of
the sides to fit Holes should be bored
at top and bottom for half inch bolts
across the ends to hold the sides in
position.
The bottom of the vat is made Of
sheet iron nailed to the bottom and
on to the vat. The vat should be
long enough to come around both
ends and fasten at top and, also,
should be wide enough to come up
the sides for two or three inches.
Three irons, II inches thick and one
inch wide are passed under the tank
and used to support the bottom. They
are shown at AAA. These should
come up at least four inches at the
side
a trench eight feet long, 20 inches
wide, Is inches deep, should be dug
and the vat placed over it. The
trench should be dug so that the wind
has a straight draught under the vat.
Fill the vat two-thirds full of water
The scraping bench should be set
against the side of the vat.
Light chains each about eight feet
long are used to lower and raise the
hog into the water. These chains
should be fastened at the edge of the
scraping bench and should be placed
about two feet six inches apart By
placing these chains above the vat,
says Prairie Farmer, the hog can be
lowered into the water and when
scalded can be readily removed.
