THE DOG DAYS
Men Can Not Do Their Best Work
With Buzzing Flies and Sweltering in
the Oppressive Heat.

Hon. Alfred Harrington, solicitor gen.
eral of the middle district of Georgia, ir
an interesting discussion of the enact
ments by the Legislature of his State
declared: "The Legislature has the
rabies. 1t has gone mad fighting liquor
and railroads. The dogs get the rabies
in summer, and SO do the legislators. Il
was mistake to ever have the Legisla-
ture meet in the summer.
In commenting on this statement OF
Mr.. Harrington, who may have been in
fiuenced by some symptoms of the rab-
les, when he vented his criticism Of ihe
solons of the "Goober Grabbler State,
the Times-Democrat says:
Considered thus broadly, the sugges-
ton will probably appeal to thinking
men. Consider for a moment the I'M
pleasant case of the average summer
lawmaker, chained to his desk like a
school boy in the spring, sweltering in
the oppressive heat, with his mind wan
dering from the tiresome tasks in hand
to dwell longingly upon the cool and
shady vacation places, and his heart far
away with his family at the seashore or
mountain resort. The dog days have
been recognized by common consent in
the business world as the vacation sea-
son. Employers find their most faithful
employees enervated by the heat and less
efficient than at other seasons. Natural
", therefore, the annual vacations are
given during this period Of lessened eff

well even when prices are down to
four or five cents. When up to six
cents, profits are 100 per cent. or
more.
Corn is great feed for hogs; for fat
tening there is nothing better, but it
is not wise to depend on corn, except
where it makes big yields every year.
l cannot do this and here is my meth
cd of making cheap pork, and getting
good profits: l have three fields well
fenced, adjoining each other. They
have from eight to ten acres in each,
and in each there is a good supply OF
running water My hogs, in the lati-
tude of Washington city, spend ten
months of the year in these fields. At
this writing there is in No. crop
of late cowpeas on half and clover
and orchard grass on the rest; in
No 3 there were oats and Canada field
peas which have been eaten off; in
M. there are only early cowpeas-
The hogs ran in No. i in spring and
early summer, then in No. till they
ate the oats and peas, and now they
are in No. 8 and will remain till the
peas are gone. Then they will spend
a large part of the winter in No. on
the late cowpeas. There is no kind
of forage better adapted to making
pork than these.
Last fall | bought among a lot Of
hogs some half-bred Jersey and
razor back" sows that had together
&c pigs. l fed the pigs two tons of
tankage at cost of $76, and $40
worth of corn, and let them run in
good weather in a potato field that
mad been dug. They rooted up and
ate all the potatoes that had been left.
| AS soon as the clover and grass got
up enough in the spring in pasture
/ No. 1, | turned in the pigs. They
stayed there till they were six months
Did and weighed 200 pounds each and
The market price was $6.10. This
made them average little more than
s12 a head. The money cost of these
pigs when sold had been only $4.75
each, showing gain of $3.50 head.

There used to be told comical
story about judge who occasionally,
when off the bench, yielded to tempta-
ton and imbibed too freely for his own
sood. The tale went on to tell that on
enc occasion the worthy man having
cissipated to an extent regarded by
the judge as scandalous, the offender
arraigned himself at the bar, where a
plea Of guilty was entered and the jur.
hat imposed an exemplary fine upon
tdmself. There seems to have been
9 similar working of conscience down
IA Mississippi, where grand jury in.
sicted every one of its own members
for violating the Sunday law, with the
result that the culprits were arraigned
IA court and were fined $40 apiece
That grand jury certainly furnished
sroof of sincerity when 1t gave up
60 readily.

piece on the bare table is quite the
thing for luncheons, reserving the elab-
crate tablecloth for dinners.
Seat the honored guest at your

tulle bow or one of wide white satin

Charming place cards are made by
using large, square cards with name,
date and quotation with a tulip
thrust through the upper left-hand cor
ner. These are very effective on the
table. Hand painted place cards are
always in favor, dainty heads and
Vatican figures. A first prize with a

Some Suitable inscriptions Asked For
by Readers.
For the New Home.

There is constant demand for suit
and fireplaces and Madame Merri
hopes that these will meet the require
ments of department readers who are
building new homes all over the land.
The old custom of carving notices
on the wooden beams in dining-room
and hall is fast finding favor on this
side of the water. Fireplaces upstairs
as well as down are also becoming
quite the proper thing in our modern
houses and there is no greater luxury
than an open fire. 1t is the means of
cementing family ties and drawing
people together who might become
estranged, for it seems to me that it
would be almost impossible to have
differences sitting around a CHEEKY
fire, glowing, perhaps, with drift
wood" blaze and over the mantel a
sentiment such as, 20 we fire and heat,
praise We the Lord"

What Miobt Re.

H. A. Hopper of the Illinois College
of Agriculture has been testing the
cows of that state for the last two
years. He makes the statement that
If all the cows in the state were as
good as the best herd he has tested
they would add to the revenue of the
farmers of Illinois over 100000. 600
annually. All this loss traces back
to the mistaken judgment of the MI.
nois farmer concerning COWS. If hs
would commence to make study of
COWS, their breeds and types he
could correct that judgment.
