One authority states that hogs root
not merely for the sake Of roofing, but |,
for the purpose Of securing supply
Of alkan which their systems demand.
It Is the most generally accepted view
that they root for the worms, grubs
and roots which they find.

Secretary Wilson, having In view
the total value Of the crops Of the coun-
try for the past year, places the aver
age value 0 each days sunshine at
$50,O00,O0 There is little question
that certain extremely favorable days
were worth to the growing crops many
times this amount.
The grinding of corn increases its
feeding value per cent This means
that If it is worth 25 cents per bushel
its value is increased cent and half;
If worth so cents, 3 cents. Whether
one Is justified in grinding would de-
pend upon the price Of corn and the
cost per bushel of doing it.
There is likelihood that parents are
to some extent at fault if their children
would rather spend their evenings any
where else than at home. The home
should be the best and most interest
ing place in all the world, and parents
should realize more than they do the
Importance of making it so.
A western man, distrusting the bank
as a place of safe deposit during the
recent financial furry, deposited $4,000
in a stove in a vacant house. He
knows better now, as the house burned
up, with the money night or two later.
The federal government does not back
stoves, tin cans or holes in the wall.
Farm animals seem to know in
stinctively which foods have the most
nutritive value and will do the most
for them when digested and assimi-
lated. This Is why they prefer bright
hay to musty and why they will eat al
falfa and clover hay In preference to
timothy or wild hay. The same thing
Is shown in the greediness which Is ex-
hibited by poultry for clover bulls and
leaves when there Is q scarcity Of other
green food.
A nearby: feeder In speaking Of his
hog raising operations in the hearing
Of the writer the other day attributed
the absence Of hog cholera In his flock
during the past sixteen years largely
to the fact that IN the fall and early
winter, when a great many farmers
stun their shoats with soft and fmma-
ture corn, he gave his but very limited
quantities, it being his theory that
growing pigs need and should have
but small quantities OF corn. When
used to- the ration and being prepared
for market larger quantities Of ma
ture corn may be- fed without danger.
In the city Of Chicago pneumonia

ton that is aggravated because SO
many people do not have or cannot gel
