Unearthed Confederate Hoard.

More than 100000 in confederate
currency and about $4,000 in gold coin
and bullion was unearthed by the prong
of a pillow on Bret Knox's farm, near

had lust taken the reins of the mule
in hand in an effort to show a negro
hand how to ditch" trough intended
to carry the accumulation of water from
the plot of ground in cultivation.
The treasure is believed to have orig

Tale of a Crab.

Here is rather a startling tale of
huge crab told in the demure Ian
guage of a Japanese newspaper: In
the harbor of Shimidzu great haul of
fish is daily experienced since the re-
turn of the new year, to the delight
of the fishermen. Some of the eager
buyers sail off to purchase fish be-
fore the fishermen's junks arrive
from seward. Among these COM
petitive purchasers was one named
Kato, who sailed out by himself in a
small boat. AS he was steering his
way onward he espied at a distance
some dark object.
LAS it showed the upper half of its
bulk above the water he was con-
WINGED that it was a crab of really
monstrous size. The man sailed to-
ward the shore with all his might and
main. The crab, however, appeared
to be bent on a fight with the man
and swan after the boat with in
credible rapidity. The huge crus-
tacean soon overlook the boat and,
putting one of its bony arms over the
side, threatened to overturn it.
after a long and fierce battle the
crab was vanquished and captured.
Kato brought it ashore and showed it
to all his astonished friends. Its arms
were twelve feet in length and the
size of it's shell is about twenty five
feet in diameter. Its weight is twenty

Spaniards as WORKERS.


"A present-day globe trotter said TO

employment Of Spaniards to dig the
Panama canal. The rest of the world
does not seem to realize the wonderful
capacity for work possessed by the
Andalusians. Why, I have seen in the
Castle of Solomon copper mine men
doing the hardest sort of labor for full
twelve hours day and knock off as
happy as lark. ready for a fight or a
frolic, ready to go mad at the distant
t1nkle of guitar, ready to beat their
hands sore keeping staccato time TO

section of pink melon.
How many million pounds OF meat
have been shipped to Panama since the
digging began? The Andalusian
knows not the hunger for meat. He is
never ill. The doctors at the Isthmus
have their hands full all the time try
ing to cure diseases directly due to
meat.
Here is a common Spaniard, who
could pull a bull down by the horns,
drive his knife through a three-inch
plank, nourishing his 'robur' and SIAM

LOSSES IN YOUNG PIGS.
Why the Percentage of Deaths Is
Large.

1t is safe to assert that ordinarily
so per cent. of the pigs die at birth to
the age of ten days. The losses at this
period are estimated to be next to
those caused by the ravages of cholera.
This is frequently followed by an
other period of losses commencing at
weaving time. These losses are gen.
orally caused by improper feeding.
The corn-fed SOW brings small, weak
ly constituted pigs. The heat pro-
duced by too much corn develops fever
and pigs die of starvation.
Again, weaving time is a critical
period in the life of the pig. By COM
parison, says Farmers Review, it has
been ascertained that the milk of the
SOW is about three times richer in fat
and twice as rich in sugar of milk as
is the milk of the cow. Depriving
the pig of rich concentrated food and
requiring 1t to depend on ordinary
feed such as corn and grass would be
a very violent change. Corn is de.
ficient in ash and protein, and alfalfa
is too bulky for supplying these nutri-
ents in the concentrated and efficient
form required by pigs. 1t will pay to
feed fresh milk and skimmilk to the
young pigs. Young pigs should be
regularly fed, as often as five times a
day.

The Filthy BARNARD.

There is nothing so repulsive as a
wet and filthy barnyard, in which the
animals are compelled to walk knee
deep in filth Such condition is not
necessary and can be prevented If the
barnyard is kept we'll supplied with
absorbent material. Throwing whole
cornstalks into the barnyard is the old
method, but cornstalks do not absorb
until they are trampled to pieces and
in the meantime much of the liquid
is carried off by the rains. 1t will pay
to shred the cora stalks or cut the
straw for bedding, while leaves and
dry earth may also be used In the
barnyard with advantage.

their clothing. A confederate would
say: Here, Yank, I'll trade hats
with you!" Another would exclaim:
"Off with your shoes, Yapk! I'll ex-
change with you!" Some mercenary
confederate would ask: Have you
any money? Out with it! You'll not
need it where you're going, and I'll
take care of it for you"
When the exchanges were all COM
pleted the scene presented the appear
ance of a company of confederates
dressed in neat union military uni
forms, guarding within their own line
band of union soldiers dressed in
ragged, tattered confederate uni
forms, their heads sticking through
crownless hats, toes protruding
through the ends of shoes, bare spots
showing through rents in trousers, es.
pecially in the rear.
AS the prisoners were marshaled
into line by their captors and started
for the rear, the appearance was that
of company Of union soldiers within
the enemy's lines guarding a COM
pany of confederate prisoners. How
ever, no such scene was witnessed
within the enemy's main line, as the
captors, becoming confused by the
thick fog, struck and followed cov-
cred way, which, to their great cha.
grin, led them and their prison
ers right back into the union
lines, where the confederates, in
turn, became prisoners. 1t is need
less to add that the fortunes of war
having changed, there was hasty dis
gorging of plunder and Sergt. McCabe
and his squad came into their own

DoN'Ts FOR PIG FEEDERS.

Don't give the liquor in which po.
tatoes are boiled to the pigs. The
tannin destroys the lining of the
stomach.
Don't keep pigs in confined places
up to their bellies in mud. They are
not dirty in their habits except you
make them so.
Don't send discolored grain away;
it will pay you better to give 1t to the
pig, and let him do the marketing.
Don't discard straw, or any straw
stuff that will do for bedding. 1t will
give comfort to the pig, and ultimately
make good manure for the farm.
Each individual animal is a sepa.
rate machine and our work is sue.
cessful only when this machine is a
profitable one.-Farm and Home.

Differentiation In Africa.

According to j. Dybowski, a pro
gressive desiccation of the air and
soil is manifest In the region of the
Sudan, the underlying cause being
the destruction of the original forests.
Cape Verde is cited as an example.
In the eighteenth century the botanist,
Adanson, described 1t as covered with
a vast forest, whence its name. Now
the forests are gone, the rivers are di-
minished, sheets of water have disap-
peared. and the productiveness of the
soil is falling. until In many places
the region has become almost sterile.
The natives began the destruction OF
the forests ignorantly; white men con.
tinue 1t for immediate selfish ends.

Gay CARRIED TOO FAX.
CD N:as Thrift That Led Him into
Ridiculous Action.

President ]. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, of which in the freshman and
sophomore years, he disapproves.
"A freshman of 16 or H." said Pres
idcnt Schurman, "is too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind is not mature
enough. 1t will make mistakes.
I'm its immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He,
though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.
THE old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head
stone, with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
"But inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
'TIo had the Christian name of each
wife cut on small stone above her

pointed to large stone in the cen
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:
"'For epitaph see large stone.'"

EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW.
An Improved Way for the Making Of
Mush for Stock.

1t pays to cook feed for some kinds
of stock and especially shoats and
hogs. The old way of trying to make
fine cornmeal into mush, by stirring
in the dry meal by handfuls when the
water is boiling so it will not be
lumpy, is a very tedious and tiresome
way. To also try to pour in any guam
tity of meal at a time and stir 1t up
to smooth, even product is about out
of the question.
We accidentally found out a better
way than either of the above, says the
Bpitomist, and can now make ten gal
Ions or 60 gallons at time and never
have lump in it and this is how it
is done:
Let the water come to a brisk boil
ing point and 1t is ready for the meal,
which ought to be, for the best results.
made very fine. For soft mush that
will run in trough, use six quarts of
meal for each ten gallons of water.
The secret is this; put enough cool
or cold water into the meal before 1t
is poured into the kettle or caldron of
hot water, to make it onto a moder-
ately stiff batter, or just so 1t will run.
Pour this into the boiling water all at
once or as fast as is desired. Stir it
about for moment and it will all
separate and no two particles of the
meal will remain together and the
result is very smooth article of
mush. No Jumps whatever and it will
not settle on the bottom of the ket-
tie. 1t will very soon swell and thick
en- and become cooked enough in a
short time after the water begins to
boil again, to be ready for use. OF
course it has to cool off before feed
ing, but no one after the wet meal is
placed in the hot water has to re-
main to stir the contents of the
kettle.
A bushel of very finely ground corn
will make by this process, twice as
much mush of the same consistency,
as anyone can make by the old way
of trying to stir the meal dry into the
boiling water. 1t will lump up and be-
sides is hot hard job.
