ALFALFA HAY FOR HOGS.

In F. D. Coburn's new book on
alfalfa, he quotes Gov. Hoard's use OF
alfalfa hay in hog feeding:
For his brood sows, during the win
ter, Gov. Hoard feeds his pregnant
sows absolutely no grain whatever
until two weeks before narrowing
time He feeds but two things-alfalfa
hay and separator milk. He says that
with this ration the sows go
through the winter in splen-
did condition and that since
feeding in this manner his losses
from early death of pigs have been
reduced 80 per cent The hay is fed
dry without any cutting or chopping.

FEEDING THE YOUNG CALF MILK.

FEEDING THE YOUNG CALF MILK.
A dairy farmer of expert
ence who gives his plan
Of teaching young calves
how to drink milk without trouble
says in the Tribune Farmer that he
lets the calf stay with the COW a
few hours only, then he milks the
cow in a few hours after removing
the calf, and puts the bucket of warm
milk to the calf's nose so as to touch
it and in a minute or two it will
drink, and the work is done. The calf
has now learned how to drink like
other animals, and all trouble of feed
ing milk to calves is over. The
mistake usually made is in allowing
young calves to run with the cow
several days, and SO it has learned
to suck, and it is hard to teach it
any other way.-Tndiana Farmer.

SALOON TEST CASE
OF WIDE INTEREST

Sioux Falls, 5. D., oct. 5.-Retail
liquor men throughout the state. as
we'll as members Of city councils, VIII
be interested in the outcome OF a test
case, involving the legality Of the pro-
visions of an act Of the last legislature,
which empowers city councils 10 revoke
saloon licenses upon evidence that a
saloon man has violated the provisions
OF the state liquor license law, which
viii be argued on Saturday or this
week before Judge Jones. of the state
circuit court In this city.
The city council last week, as the re-
suit of a public hearing, revoked the
license Of what is known as the Little
Dove saloon in this city. and the insti-
tuting OF the test case was the out
growth of this action. Joe Kirby, at
torney for Dillman & Mccormick, pro-
prietors of the saloon, will contend that
the city council had no jurisdiction IN
the case. and that the counCilmen could
properly hear evidence in the man
ner in which they did at the hearing
Immediately preceding the reVoklng or
the license of the saloon.
II is said that Attorney Kirby VIII
contend that the trial OF Dill
man & Mccormick before the city coun-
ell was not legal, and improper in form.
1t is understood hat Attorney Kirby
will argue that nobody or tribunal 9TH
n than the regularly constituted courts
legally have the power to hold such
hearings and revoke saloon licenses.

bough, he shook a wasps' nest on IL.
The insects swarmed out and stung

pain he turned and ran. but not fast

him sayagely. The dog would have
killed he tramp probably, for, half

but Jackson, arriving, dragged Tige off.
The farmer marched the hobo to the
barn, got a horsewhip and then led
him to a siding on the Lackawanna
railroad, where stood a coal train about
to pull out. Jackson told the brakeman

thrashed him well with the whip and
