ly with their habits, their likes and
dislikes, learning what they need and
what is bad for them.
Cheapness in production is the first
point to be mastered by the beginner.
In his breeding he should work for
large filters, early maturity and quail
ity.
Starting with one sow, it will pay to
buy a mature one that has shown that
she will produce good pigs and raise
eight to ten at a litter She should
have two filters a year
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw, sod or boards The beginner
can watch his small lot of hogs care
fully and learn how to make them
grow rapidly at least expense.
If any trouble occurs it can usually
be seen in small lot of pigs before it
is past curbing. When there is loss
it cannot be heavy. and the grower
gets his experience cheaply.
The second year three or four of the
best sow pigs should be saved with
their dam.
The third year the grower should
have learned enough about growing
hogs to be able to handle ten sows
and their produce, and after that he
should know enough to slowly increase
his hog herd to the limit Of his farm.
Cheap shelter and fences should be
used until the profits from the hogs
will pay for better ones. No large
building should be erected until hogs
have been grown several years on the
farm and the breeder is sure of what
he wants and where he needs to To-
cate it.
Sows should be kept as long as they
produce good filters. An old SOW will
usually have large pigs, a greater num-
Der and pigs with more vitality than
an immature, growing SOW.
Starting with one sow, she will be
the foundation of the herd, no matter
how large it may become. 1t will pay
to have the first a good one, even if
she costs considerable money.

simpler than our present methods. In
order to establish a claim for liability
under the existing statutes the prac.
tice is cumbersome and expensive
Long drawn out contests crowd the
dockets Of the courts, entail large ex-
pense on the employer and finally
yield only q small pittance to the in.
jured employee or his dependents
when damages are actually awarded.
"The law granting compensation to
government employees, passed at the
should be extended in scope so as to
embrace classes of employees not now
included and should be made more
liberal in its terms. The compensation
at present paid-one years earnings
is pitifully inadequate where total dis
ability results from an injury or where
death leaves a dependent family"
A government investigation Of SAM
tary problems is advocated by Mr..
Straus.
"The national government should be
as anxious and alert to protect the
wage earners against the ravages of
disease resulting from their work"
he says, "as it is to protect agricul-
tural products against pests and farm
stock against disease"
Discussing the problem of the unem-
ployed, Secretary Straus recommends
a more scientific distribution of labor.
This can be accomplished by the gov
eminent, he says, in supplying "infor-
nation to adj of our workers, whether
native, foreign born or alien, so that
they may be constantly advised in re-
spect to every part of the country as
to what kind of labor may be in de-
mand, the conditions surrounding it,
the rate of wages and the cost of liv-
ing in the respective localities"
This would greatly aid in keeping
large numbers of undesirable foreign
ers at home, says Secretary Straus, as
many aliens now come to America
with little money and a lack of quail
fcations to do the work they expect to
do

Why We Like a Mule.

Because he is the most tireless work
er on the farm.
He eats less than a horse, but does
more work.
He is always as good as cash in the
bank.
He never falls through a hole in a
bridge and generally keeps out of dan
ger.
He is an excellent saddle animal if
you know how to saddle him.
His feet stand hard roads better than
those of a horse.
He is more intelligent than horse.
He is never in love, but attends
strictly to business all the time.
He is never sick but once, and then
he dies But who ever saw a dead
mule since the war?
He never stops to fight flies as
horse does, because his hide is tougher
He is just as gentle as horse if he
has not been spoiled in breaking.
His age cuts little figure in a sale
Nobody cares much how old a mule is
He will bring from $3.50 to $3.50 when
he is full grown if he is big and
smooth and Strong.-Farm World.

Italians Novel Way of Importing
Fiancee's Wedding Garments.
Domenico Petrucci, a young Sicilian,
arrived at New York recently on Ger
man ship on his way to Ell Paso, Tex,
where he is to wed Miss Marie Consen-
tino. The young man brought in, to
the great surprise of the customs Off
Gals, most of the girls trousseau seal
ed up in seven tin boxes. The largest
inches wide and about three inches
deep, The others ranged down to one
about the size of a cigar box.
The inspector, in a quandary, had to
call a deputy surveyor to find out by
what method the canned trousseau was
to be examined. After some discus
sion, during which Petrucci raised a
protesting voice, Special Inspector Tim
Donohue appeared with a can opener
borrowed from the ships steward.
From the large tin a rather faded
and worn dress of red and gold mate
rial was brought to view. 1t looked
not unlike q gypsy costume. Petrucci
explained that it was an heirloom and
that the family brides for many year
had worn the dress to the altar. In
the smallest package were found pair
of slippers and a mantilla. Petrucci
said that, being something of worker
with tin, he canned the wearing ap--
parel to protect it from damage on the
journey.
After the examination the customs
men decided that Petrucci carried
nothing on which duty could be collect
ed, and he was sent on his way to
Marie and Texas.

WOMEN'S PIE EATING CONTEST
Required by Rules Not to Use Knife
or Fork or Hands.


The latest fad among the women of
Red Bank, n. j., is pie biting. 1t was
started by the Daughters of Liberty of
the Highlands and is spreading rapid
ly to other women's clubs and organi-l
cations in Red Bank. Several prizes
already offered and won by quick pie
eaters are handsome, and their pos
SCISSORS are exceedingly proud Of them.
The fad threatens to put bridge whist
in second place.
1t is not an easy task which is set
for the contestants. The plan is to get
a big, juicy pie, preferably one filed
with blackberries or huckleberries.
The pie is CHARTERED, and the pieces
are placed on separate plates. At
prearranged signal four women begin
a race to see which can eat her piece
of pie first. What makes it particu-
larry exciting is the fact that no con-
testant is permitted to touch the pie
with her hand or with knife or fork
She must do everything with her
mouth and nose. If the pie slips off
the plate she must push it back with
the tip of her nose and then tackle ii
once more with her lips and teeth. By
the time she is through with it the
juice of the blackberry or huckleberry
pie is distributed over her face. The
other women and the men who are
permitted to witness the contests lend
encouragement by good natured badi-
mage and laughter.
The contest may be engaged in by
any number OF women if there are
enough pies. Thus far there has been
no dearth of women eager to decorate
their faces with blackberry and hue
kleberry juice and to run the risk of
throwing their digestive organs out of
gear in the effort to win vases, cut
glass bowls, chatting dishes and other
prizes offered.

EVOLUTION FIFTY YEARS OLD
Scientists to Celebrate In Baltimore
Darwn's Hundredth Birthday.


Nearly a thousand scientists, repre-
senting educational institutions all
over the United States, will meet in
Baltimore in Christmas week to listen
to papers detailing the scientific prog
ress Of the year and to celebrate the
centenary of the birth of Charles Oar
win and the semicentenary of the first
publication of 1.-THE Origin of Spe-
cies." They are members of the Amer
lean Association For the Advancement
of Science, the annual meeting of
which will be held at Johns Hopkins
university in the week of Dec. %. In
addition. as many more scientists be
longing to twenty-four separate scien-
tific societies will meet in conjunction
with the American association to tell
one another just what has been dis
covered since last January.
Receptions dinners, smokers and in
formal meetings Of many kinds are
being arranged in addition to the
stated program The Darwin celebra-
ton will occupy a whole day and
evening and will take the form of me-
mortal addresses and lectures showing
the progress that the theory of evolu-
ton has made since Charles Darwin
first laid it down for the consideration
of the world. Darwin was born at
Shrewsbury, England, Feb. II, 1909,
but as the American association al
ways holds its annual meeting during
convocation week between Christmas
and New Years the celebration of his
birth will be held then instead Of on
the day itself. ''The Origin of Species"
was published first in 1859.
One of the speakers who will take
prominent part in the Darwin celebra-
ton will be Professor E. B. Poul-
ton of Cambridge, England, who will
represent that university. Professor
Poulton is famous as an evOlutiOnist
himself. A spectacular feature of the
meeting will be a lecture, accompanied
by moving pictures, showing the star
thing aspects of KiIauea and other vol
canoes of Pacific islands. The lecture
will be delivered and the pictures will
be exhibited by William A. Bryan of
the Bishop museum of Honolulu. One
Of the features of the meeting will be
a symposium on public health, which
will be hold in conjunction with the
American Health league. Members of
the association from all over the Unit
ed States will speak on public health
and the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
national health bureau.

Tobacco For Live Stock.

According to Joseph E. Wing, in the
near future we will be feeding tobacco
to live stock. This well known writer
on live stock subjects says that each
sheep should have its daily chew of
tobacco. He claims that tobacco is a
sure cure for the nodular disease,
which to sheep men will sound very
much like a miracle. He says to buy
from the factories cheap, damaged to-
bacco leaves or stems and cuttings
from cigar factories at an expense Of
about cents per pound and feed in
troughs with little salt sprinkled on
the tobacco. A few mouthfuls for each
sheep once or twice each week will
keep the animals healthy, he claims.

Novel Plan to stop Tono War.

A novel plan to prevent the tong
war which has been brewing in the
Chinese quarter of San Francisco has
been devised by Chinese Consul Gen
eral Chu Ping Chun. He threatens the
relatives in China of the trouble MAX
ers with punishment if there is any
further outbreak in San Francisco.
The consul general has warned the
highbinders that another affray will
cause him to send their names to the
Chinese minister at Washington, who
will transmit them to the viceroy at
Canton. The viceroy will cause their
relatives to be punished.

AeetxIene Shells For German Nav,

Experiments are now being carried
out on German warships with acety-
lene shells, which, it is believed, will
take the place of the electric search
light used hitherto by warships. These
shells contain calcium carbide, and the
water can reach it through tube. The
shells are fired by a gun built specially
for the purpose. On being fired the
shell goes under water and then rises
to the surface, and the action of the
water upon the calcium carbide pro-
duces the acetylene light. Each shell
is said to have 5000 candle power and
will burn for three hours. The great
drawback of the ordinary searchlight
is that, although it affords some pro-
lection from the unObserved approach
of torpedo boats, it yet makes the war
ship using it an excellent target. The
new acetylene shell referred to will
have the great advantage of lighting
up given space, while the vessel that
fires it will be left in darkness.

Reform Next Day.

There's nothing in the habit,
AS any one can see.
I'm going to break off smoking
And from the weed be free.
Tomorrow at the latest
I'll throw my pipe away,
So since / am determined
I'll smoke awhile today.
It's just a waste of money,
A burning up of wealth.
1t doesn't help the morals;
It doesn't mend the health.
Far better spend my wages
On bills l ought to pay.
I'll chop it off tomorrow,
So light 'er up today.
There's no excuse for being
A slave to such vice,
Though it were not an object
To salt away the price.
So fare we well, perfecto
And rope of twisted hay.
I'm done with you tomorrow,
Though friends we are today.
Without regret or longing.
Without a single sigh
Or moan for pleasures passing,
I'll put my meerschaum by
Tomorrow-yes tomorrow
TIL smash my pipe of clay,
But if there's no objection
I'll light it up today.

Navel Motor Car

Consul General William II. Michael
of Calcutta reports that experiments
are being made in that city with an
air propeller petrol driven car. The
secret of the mechanism lies in the
pattern of the propeller. A speed Of
fifteen miles an hour has been at
tanned on Calcutta roads with five
horsepower engine. The absence Of
wear on the tires is most marked, and
the motion is perfectly smooth. At
present the invention is just passing
out of the experimental stage, but Il
is anticipated that it will shortly be
possible to place cars on the market.
