Warm Quarters For HOGS.

hogs need warm, comfortable quar-
tiers In cold weather more than horses
or cattle because their hair Is coarser
and thinner, says a writer In Ohio
Farmer. Our best breeds Of hogs have
very little hair. The higher their Inn
provement for pork production has
been carried the thinner has become
the covering of their bodies. Animals
that were designed to endure the rigors
OF winter without shelter are covered
with coat of warm, thick wool or
hair. The wild hog has long, thick
hair. with finer furry covering under
IL next the skin. The man who has his
h9rseS clipped must keep them blan-
Eetcd even in the stable durIny cold
weather. Tho men who keep The hogs
Inch have had the!r thick coatinr of
hair bred off must have warm peus for
Ieeping them comfortable In wintry
weather.

GUANERS LEAD.
THE bR|T|SHERs

Washington, Aug. 9-IFor years the navy
department has not regarded II as good
policy to acquaint foreign nations with the
performances Of the American naval gun
ners.
But the publication recently of the fact
that during target practice on the British
channel feet in the presence of King Ed
ward. one gun made 10 hits in 21 shots.
thereby earning a decoration from the
king, has naturally touched the pride OF
the American naval officers. who have
looked into the records of the American
gun pointers during the annual target
practice just closed. and have found no
reason to fear a comparison with the
gunners of any other navy.
As the speed calibre Of the British
guns was not reported, an exact oompari-
son Is difficult. but from the number OF
shots fired IL is assumed that the gun was
not moro than six Inches In calibre.
A gunner on the armored cruiser Mary
land OF the Atlantic feet made IL shots
and Ii hits in one minute with a six-inch
gun. A gun on the battleship Ohio was
fired with n perfect score at tho rate OF
1851 per minute. A sax-inch gun on the
battleship Maine has a record OF perfect
score at the rate OF 104l per minute, and
the battleship Missourt's best record was
1913 shots per minute. each lodging In q
target
But In comparison with smaller guns
these six-inch records become tnsfgnih-
cant.
A three FOUNDER on the battleship Vir-
ginia made 20 shots and % hits In 75 sec
onds. and another gun made 10 shots and
10 hits In 22ia seconds, n remarkable av-
erage OF e67 shots and hits per minute.
