and in this he was grinding gold out
of the bricks of Pikey's dismantled
saloon.
Richie and the others found scales
and grains and specks Of gold, When
the chimney bricks had been ground
up the wall bricks followed, and in a
short space of time Brickville was a
town of tents again. .
Then it was announced suddenly
that Succotash and Richie had
patched up their trouble and that Pr
ere had sold his arastra to Fred. This
was followed by Pierre's departure
from town. He has made his pile"
the Brickvillians said to one another.
The coal pits had been abandoned
for this new method of gold mining,
and there wasn't a whole brick build
ing in the place when a freight brake
man one day brought a startling piece
of news into the town.
Succotash had bought a claybank
in Basin, and a brickyard as well; and
he had astonished the good people of
that nook in the mountains by con-
verting this claybank into a gold mine
and this brickyard into a mill in
which to treat his rich clay, for the
gold could not be freed by ordinary
process of placer washing,
Then Brickville collectively kicked
itself for not having thought to trace
out this brickyard before the man
from Canada; and the Brickvillians
folded their tents and went scurrying
away to the mountains to search there
for other claybanks that were studded
with nuggets of gold.
And so it was that the fire in Pikey
McGinn's chimney happened to de.
stroy the town.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
OF SWINE

Feeding hogs is a subject in which
every farmer and breeder is or should
be deeply interested. 1t is of univer-
sal Importance; and | only wish l
could go into it deeply and in a
way that would interest you men
here.
Starting with the newborn pig, it
requires practice and skill to feed the
mother so that she will bring her litter
out without securing them. When this
is done the first great danger is over.
To do this she should be fed lightly
and Systematically. The same man
should feed and care for her that fed
her previous to narrowing. He should
have his work well planned, and good
Judgment should direct his move
ments. Many writers advocate the
use of a strictly milk-producing ra-
ton, but experience has shown that
this is wrong, The flow of milk at
this time is naturally greater than the
pigs will take in the majority of cases.
For this reason a light feed of corn
and oats is better for the SOW and pigs
both. In the course of a week the
ration should be gradually changed to
a slop of shorts, and this increased
until the ration consists of one-half of
such feeds.
At the age of three weeks the pigs
will commence eating AID they should
be encouraged by the use of a creep.
The feed should consist Of a slop of
some good mill feeds. From the time
the pigs commence eating the expense
of feeding gradually increases, and
with it the value of the pig increases
if he is doing well and is properly fed.
1t is not my purpose to PROFOUND
the balanced ration, fact or theory.
However, the purpose or final end
of the feeding operation is to
produce a hog with strong bony
framework and a development of mus
Gle of such an extent that all the vital
organs such as the lungs, heart, di-
gestive and Reproductive organs will
be as perfect as possible when the hog
/ bluluiCu' " w lllDy VIC ctlCllllllC,
or, as l would rather call it, the sys-
tematic way of feeding must come into
operation. Feeds high in protein and
ash must be used or the development
will not be SO complete as it otherwise
would. Any Of the following feeds
may be used: Wheat, wheat sorts,
middlings, oil meal, oat shorts, pack
ing house b%y-proGucts, alfalfa and
clover pastures. The ration should
consist for the most part Of one or
a combination Of these feeds. Every
man has an idea of what combination
he thinks best.
The feeding of correctives, tonics,
and worm powders is at present adj
vocated by a great many men, and it
is all right, but these are found on all

corn cob charcoal and grass. AS a
worm exterminator | have found five
grains of santonin and three grains
of calomel to each so pounds of hog

at that time was a wooden water
trough, leading from his well to the
brick shed. Most of the day and all
of the night he locked himself in that
shed with his secret. Those who
passed in the rear of the place de-
clared that they could hear him grind.
ing something, and because of a pool
of red water which had accumulated
nea the shed they thought it must
be the bricks.
Now, Fred Richie was n of those
who regarded Pierre's conduct as
most suspicious. He gave a good deal
of thought to the mystery of the shed
and the tearing down of McGinn's sa-
loon, and finally he recalled having
seen Succotash grab that piece Of
brick and make off with it. Then it
occurred to him also that it was Pr
ere who had caused all the trouble
between Pikey and Slanteye by steal
ing the chimney. And one day when
Succotash was down in town buying
provisions Fred sneaked out the back
way of his shop with a bit and stock
and bored a hole in the mortar be-
tween the bricks of Pierre's shed to
discover what his secret might be. AS
Pierre worked that night Fred had his
eye glued to this hole and noted what
he was doing.
Next morning his neighbors were
surprised at finding that Ritchie's
chimney had fallen during the night,
and they were astonished to see Fred
carrying the bricks into his barber
shop and piling them up with great
care. He wasn't going to have them
stolen, as Pikey's were, he told them.
And as they passed by the shop later
in the day and looked in they saw him
pounding away at the bricks, breaking
them into bits and scanning each piece
carefully.
One Of his customers was let into
the secret, and another chimney fell.
This man passed the secret on to a
bosom friend, and then there was an
other crash of brick. Within "a hours
every man, woman and child in the
town was pulverizing brick as If life
depended upon it.
The secret was a secret no longer.
Succotash had found gold in the piece
of brick that Richie had seen him
dart forward to pick up, and he had
found more in the bricks he had stol-
en- from Pikey. With the proceeds he
had set up an arastra in the shed,
