OLD CLERKS IN LAND
OFFICE TO LOSE JOBS

Where possible places paying less win
be provided, but there are compare
lively few of those positions, and even
those are all occupied, so that appoint
ments to them will compel other re.
movals.
There is not such urgency in other
divisions, but there are said to be
many clerks throughout the bureau
who are incapacitated 10y age or other
infirmities and whose service can not,
therefore, be retained in justice to the
department.
The commissioner expresses deep
regret for the necessity which compels
his course, but justifies it on the
ground that no less radical course
would insure the proficiency Of the
Office.
- 1t is said that many of the persuns
who will be relieved have strong po-
litical backing and it is anticipated
that the execution of the commission.
er's plans will cause vigorous protests.
1t is understood that the president has
full knowledge of the programme for
reorganization.

Individual Hoo Houses

The folly of keeping a large num-
Der of hogs in small Enclosure is
shown by the unusual fatality this
season. The old notion that hogs
could take most any sort of treatment
has been responsible for heavy losses
this season. Hogs are subject to
colds and lung troubles. Whenever
we permit them to crowd into tight
sheds, in large numbers. we are fnvit.
ing such calamity. The sensible way
to house either hogs or the breeding
sows, is to build small houses and
scatter them about the fields. With
narrowing sows, each one should be
provided with an individual house, but
with the other hogs six or eight can
bunk in one Of these houses vely
nicely. Build haltdoaen or more
and try them s. s.. i -.

PIG RATIONs AND RESULTS.
What Has Been Determined by Exper.
iments in Connecticut.

The Storrs agricultural experiment
station of Connecticut gives in bull
tetin 43 the following conclusions Oh
pig feeding rations:
The pig among farm animals is
noted for his great capacity for as
sim1lation. But with the animal the
economy of gain is greatly affected by
the character of the ration.
One lot of three pigs required 1888
pounds of skim milk containing 230
digestible nutrients for 100 pounds of
gain. Eight lots, of % pigs required
1885 pounds of skim milk and 253 Of
shorts. containing 25S pounds of d.
gestible nutrients, for 100 pounds OF
sain. And one lot of three pigs re-
CURED 445 pounds of shorts contain
ing 294 pounds of digestible nutrients
for 100 pounds Of gain.
Milk is an easily digestible food
When fed alone in the above trials,
100 pounds Of gain were made from
the least amount (230 pounds) of d.
gestible nutrients. When shorts were
substituted for portion of skim milk,
more nutrients (25S pounds) were re-
quired for 100 pounds gain in weight
When shorts were fed alone the most
nutrients 1894 pounds) were re-
Qnired for the same gain.
The reader should bear in mind
that the financial problem is not here
i considered. 1t is admitted that while
skim milk is easily digested, it is too
bulky in character. The capacity Of
the pig to digest and assimilate is
greater than it's capacity to consume
this watery fluid. At ordinary mar
ket prices. pound of digestible nutri-
ents would cost twice as much in skim
| milk as in shorts. Experience shows
that from a financial standpoint, the
| most economical gains are made when
| skim milk and grain are fed in the
proportion of three fourths to one. But
the trials show, from a physiological
standpoint, that less nutrients are re-
quired for given gain when the ra-
ton consists Of easily digested foods.
| The conclusion seems warranted that
the food requirements for maintenance
and for production (milk Or GROWTH
depends not only upon the composition
and digestibility of a ration but also
upon the facility with which it is d.

rOMA11SS1ONER BALL1NGER of the

COMMISSIONER BALL1NGER of the
~ general land Office has recommend
cd to Secretary Garfield a general re-
organization of the force of his Office.
The secretary has the matter under
consideration and while no official an
nouncement has been made of his in
tentions it is known that he approves
Mr.. Ballinger's plan and it is expect
ed that it will soon be put into effect.
The first dismissals will be made in
the division of the Office in which
land patents are proposed. There are
about rs clerks in that division, and
of those about Is or 20 will be relieved
from duty. The reason for immediate
action Is the fact that the law pro-
vides for the typewriting of the pat
ents and the recorded copies of them.
Many of the employees are elderly per-
sons who have been on the rolls for
long time and who can not use the
typewriter.
The lowest salaries paid in the d.
vision is 5000 per annum, and the COM
missioner complains that many of the
employees can not earn tEat amount.

Sheep Are Best Producers.

souri, experiment station says that
sheep produce more meat from a
pound of grain thar any other class
of farm animals. In fact, a pound OF
mutton can be produced from about
half as much grain as pound of beef.
Even Missouri's mostgage-lifting hog
requires more grain to produce a
pound of human food than the sheep.
With the combination of corn and
clover hay for feed, the dry shed for
shelter, sheep will always give good
account of themselves and respond
readily to the care given them.

CARE OF PICTURE FRAMES.
F May Be Cieansed and Freshened with
Little Trouble.

The gilt frames of pictures or mir
rors, If they are not so far gone as to
require gliding, may be cleansed by
just a simple washing with spirits of
wine or oil of turpentine.
Take small sponge and, having
wet it in either of these liquids, wiring
it out thoroughly and then apply. The
gilt should not be wiped afterwards in
order to dry it; leave it to dry of it..
self
Gold paint comes in very nicely
when the frames are somewhat bare
and Worn, and want more than a SIM
pie washing. But before applying it,
be careful to have the surfaces perfect
ly clean.
With small soft brush or buster
remove all dust, then gently wash with
lukeWarm water and a mild toilet soap.
After the frame has been thus thor
oughly cleansed, then apply your gold
paint.
Do not wet the frame overmuch
when washing it, for this would re-
move all the old gliding. A tightly
wrung sponge is the best thing to use.

Cleaning Plumes.

Shave and boil one-half bar of naph.
tina soap in a granite basin. When
thoroughly dissolved add this to
washbowl of warm soft water. Put
the plumes in and let remain for about
Is minutes, moving it around in the
bowl. After the dirt is loosened up
take water of the same temperature
to rinse it in. Now lay it on a table
or oilcloth and with a soft brush,
such as an old toothbrush brush it
gently in outward strokes, using soap
on the brush if necessary. Put it un-
der the faucet, and let the water run
on it until it is thoroughly clear of the
soap. Squeeze the water out, but do
not twist the feather. Hold it firmly
in the palm of the hand. Pin to a cur
tain to dry with the head up, and the
fibers falling down toward the end.

Keep Good Horses.

We know a farmer who has over
$1,000 invested in old plug horses.
Ringbones, spavins, wire cuts, Icurbs
and blemishes are noticeable. He has
ten head and none of them can be de-
pended on for decent days work. He
has a neighbor who has three horses,
free from blemishes, which cost him
$500, but with these three horses he
can do more work in a season on
third of the feed than the man who
has ten head. At the present price
of feed, horse is not worth keeping
unless he is a good one and able to
do lots of hard work.

Taking Ink Stains From Linen.

IT,
Turpentine and soap will remove
ink stains from linen. A few drops
added to water in which clothes are
boiled will whiten them. Turpentine
will exterminate reaches and also
moths if sprinkled about. Turpentine
will remove wheel grease, pitch and
tar stains. A few drops on a wooden
cloth will clean tan shoes nicely. Ivory
knife handles that become yellow can
be restored to their former whiteness
by rubbing with turpentine. Carpets
can be cleaned and colors restored by
going over occasionally with broom
dipped in warm water in which lit
tie turpentine is added. An equal
mixture of turpentine and linseed oil
will remove white spots from furni-
ture caused by water.

CURING DISTEMPER,
How This Infectious Disease Should
Be Dealt With.

Distemper is an infectious disease
and can be prevented If the quarters
are kept free from the infection. Wash
ing the trough with soft soap suds or
carbolic acid solution twice each
month, embarrassing the stall at least
once each month and occasionally
scrubbing the floors of the stalls are
measures which will generally prevent
an outbreak. In addition to this the
animal should have an abundance of
exercise and pure air. 1t is known that
an animal which is allowed the run of
a pasture is not so liable to the dis
ease as one which is confined to
the stalls in a poorly ventilated barn.
If the disease is light, it need not be
the cause Of any particular alarm, as

Ivy Frieze,

Even if one has no skill with house
plants, it is possible to have some
thing green growing always in the
house by planting English ivy in bot
ties and concealing the bottles behind
pictures and mirrors. Fill the bottle
with fresh water once in a while, and
direct the course of the new growth
by common pins stuck in the wall.
With this small amount of care one
may have highly decorative frieze of
graceful green sprays.
