SALT AND ASHES,

Hogs should have free access to salt
and ashes at all times. Wood ashes
can generally be secured and hogs
should have all they will eat. When
not convenient to give ashes, charcoal
is a good substitute and even soft
coal will be eaten for want Of some
thing better. Hogs are never injured
by eating all the ashes they want,
but it is not safe to give large amounts
of salt to animals not accustomed to
it's use. The salt and ashes mixture
should be kept in low box under a
shed where it will be protected from
rain, and should consist of about two
quarts of salt for each bushel of ashes.
Many feeders prefer to add FEW
ounces Of copperas to the mixture.
Such mixture will do much to pre-
serve the health of hogs, and sows
which have an abundance of such food
rarely eat their young-Practical
Farmer.

COWS are properly housed, fed and
handled. We know of no instance
where the above requirements were
met where the statement does not
prove true. Properly housing does not
necessarily mean the providing of ex-
pensive quarters. 1t means that the
comfort of the COW should be provided
for; she should be in a warm barn

Charley Olmstcad was fishing in
Meredith Lake Monday. He says he
catches bull heads with piece Of old
flannel tied to the line without any
hook or bait. Take the bull head,
turn it on its back, pry its mouth
open with a screw driver, then insert
the flannel. Now close its jaws and
put Il brass rivet through both jaws,
being careful to head the rivet down
smoothly. The rest is easy, you can
pull it from the water slowly or with
a sudden jerk as fancy dictates.
Charley is Il good fisherman. He has
not caught any very large fish here,
but back where lie came from he fire.

a hen and duck were talking Of
the things in the fowl world, and the
duck complained that it was not ap-
preciated as was the hen, and IL
couldn't understand it. She, the duck,
was the handsomer fowl, was as use
full, laid larger egg, and still people
paid little attention to it. The wise
hen explained it all by saying, "When
you lay your big egg you don't cackle
and make a noise, and the fellow that
don't cackle isn't thought much Of in
this world because people don't know
what lie is doing" Apropos OF this,
we know quite lot Of merchants who
might profit by this and cacklc in our
columns and they would be thought
more Of and have better trade.

the number of warships that the coun- try is generally credited with.
 As far as public announcements go
 Japan is not now building up her navy as rapidly as either the United States or Germany, but the German bureau claims to have accurate information that the money has been laid aside for the immediate construction of fonr of the biggest battleships anoat in addition to those which Japan admits to be constructing.
 This may or may not be true, but such a step is characteristic of the Japanese. They are proverbially se- cretive. To this day they have con- cealed their losses in the war with Russia and few naval men outside of Japan know much about the condition Of the Japanese navy at the end of that struggle.
 It would seem tbat it would be im- possible for such an ambitious naval program as the German League men, tions to go very far without other na- tions knowing about it, but if any country can build up navy secretly that nation is Japan.
 In the meantime it is interesting to note the relative strength of the na- yies of the world as judged by this German authority. Of course, Great Britain comes first. The United States is put second, France third, Germany fourth and Japan fifth. It is estimated that in 1911 the United States and Germany will be tied for second place, while if this secret pro- gram of Japan is put through Japan will have passed France and will be but litle behind the United States and Germany in that year. By 1913 Germany will have passed the United Staes unless Congress provides more ships at the coming session.
 Yet one must ask in what secret place can Japan build ships unknown to the world. That talk is '''as idle as painted ship upon painted ocean,"

WHAT IS REASONABLE PROFIT?

No noXious free-trade heresy, we believe, vitiates the statistical capacity of the government of Pennsylvania the classic ground of protection, es- pecially of protection of iron and steel
 The annual report of the secretary of internal affairs of that Common wealth shows that the average daily wage of adult male employees in the blast furnaces of the state was $1.93 in 1906; that the cost of labor per ton of pig iron produced was $1.07. The duty upon ton of pig iron, it will be recalled, is four dollars. The aver age daily wage of the adult male en- ployes in steel mills was $2.15; the average value of ton of product was $6.33. The average duty on a ton of product is about ten dollars.
 
 If the real object of protection were to equalize the difference be- tween labor cost at home and abroad we should be forced to the painful conclusion that foreign manufacturers not only get their labor for nothing, but received a bonus from the labor CTS. The Republican platform, how ever, mentions another object-name- 1y. reasonable profit to American industries"
 After forty years of high protection and at hood-tide of prosperity, work men in Pennsylvania's iron and steel industry got two dollars day, and the Steel Corporation earned hun dred and twenty million dollars above all expenses taxes and bond interest probably 50 per cent on the lesiti- mate investment above that represent ed by bonds.
 There is, of course, room for diff ference of opinion as to what consti- tntes reasonable profits. Probably two dollars a day to the workmen and DO per cent to the trust is not far from the Pennsylvania idea of protect irg American labor-and, incidentally looking out a little bit for Ameri- can capital.-Saturday Evening Post.

The Radium Puzzle.

Radium is still puzZing the French scientists The latest conundrum is, Where does it come from?" One scientist says that radium comes to us from the sun in some form of solar emanation. He does not believe it to be somthing inherent in certain earth born substances such as the pitch blende. from which it was first extract cd. He thinks that it comes to earth continually in infintesimal quantities with every ray of light. so to speak. that reaches us from the solar orb. This accounts, he says, in measure for the traces of radium being con- tinually discovered in all sorts of things, gaseous and mineral alike.

ECW TO DO BIG THINGS.

ECW TO DO BIG THINGS.
 Ever stop and watch the erection of modern steel building?
 How slowly it is assembled!
 There is a shril whistle from the foreman. Tae engineer of the dinky little engine pulls lever A big der rick swings out over the sidewalk. A chain dangles down from the derrick Two men put the chain around steel beam. One of them stands on the beam. holding to the chain by his hands Again the whistle. Again the engineer pulls the lever. The steel beam dangles in midair The man rides it. It goes up
 Up. up. up to the fourteenth story. cred q little. The rider guides it. Then men at either end grasp it. The piece of steel is gently forced into its place. The men make it fast with bolts.
 The chain is loosed. The whistle blows. The derrick and chain are low cred again. and the process is repeated
 Day after day, hour after hour. the work goes on. The whistle blows, the little engine feels the clutch that calls for higher speed and more power, and slowly, but surely, the steel beams are hoisted to their places.
 The building is going together the only way it can be put together-piece by piece, a little at time.
 First there was plan.
 An architect made the plan. In the beginning the plan was in his mind. He made q rough draft. Then his assistants worked out every feature elaborately in blue prints. The build ing must follow the plan.
 So is every great task performed.
 Every work that amounts to any thing is planned in advance. It is bod fed forth in imagination. It is seen in the minds eye.
 But. mind you
 Not only the COMPLETED work is seen in advance. but the PROCESS by which the work is completed; not only the WHOLE is seen. but the PARTS.
 If the builder could see nothing but the completed building he would be ap- palled at the prospect But he sees 1t as combination of details. He can do this big thing only by doing many little things. and he can do the little things
 Here is where most men fall down.
 Most men see a task loom large and are afraid. The wise man sees it as it is-a large task made up of many little tasks-aHd is brave to try it.
 Dare to do big things.
 Big things are little things aggre- gated
