CARING FOR THE HOG.
How One Successful stockman Ha,.
dies Them.

At a meeting of swine breeders, L..
H. Roberts said: The hog is a nat
ural grazer and grass is the cheapest
food element involved in his growth.
Every lot in which hogs are kept
should grow a crop of some kind
every year, and for double purpose.
The cultivation and growth of the
crop ,freshens the soil and tends to
assist nature in her constant efforts
to destroy disease germs. Fresh soil
has certain disinfectant properties
that cost nothing except the effort
expended In stirring it up. Rye is good
for early pasturage, and rape may be
sown for late use on the same lot.
Oats may be grown. and corn will be
found an excellent thing. But any
thing is better than bare and filthy
lots. About buildings and adjacent
grounds free use Of air-slaked lime
is advisable at all times. Good sleep
ing quarters and good dry bedding go
long way toward promoting health
and thrift. / do not permit my hogs

New York.-Of Importance not sec
ondary to safety, convenience and
sanitary conditions in travel by sea
is the food supply of the modern ocean
hotel. Every item in the gastronomic
list from a little neck clam to hot
tamale must be on hand ready to be
served If ordered.
The introduction of the a la carte
system of dining on steamships of the
present is responsible for the extraor-
binary demands for luxuries at sea.

is no restriction on appetite or purse.

STOCK POINTERS.

1t is useless to look for the best pigs
except among the best breeds.
Salt should be placed where the
stock can get what they want every
day.
Dry weather is said by some to
cause the foot of the sucking colt to
contract.
Don't take any chances with kick
ing animal. Dispose of such beast
as soon as possible.
The horse, to get best results,
should be given uniform amount of
feed and at regular hours
To keep growing and breeding ami
mails in good condition they should be
fed heterogeneous foodstuffs.
Always, before feeding, give horses
some water. After feeding they
should again be freely watered.
AS the colt is trained so will the
horse develop. Be kind and gentle
with the colt. Gain his confidence
but not his fear.

Only the most experienced buyers

no turning back for something for

During 1907 the cost of catering to
the travellers of the North German
Lloyd line. according to statement
just published, was more than $4,000
900, as against little more than ST.
100000 for coal. The fleet travelled a
total of 6,254,703 miles, or about 900
times around the earth.

This gives the average cost of pro
visioning the fleet as &C 2-3 cents .
mile. With the express steamers Of
the Atlantic the cost is very much
greater.
Thirteen years ago the cost of pro-
visioning the ST. Louis for trip to
Southampton was $4,000. The cost
of provisioning the Kronprinzessen Ce-
ellie, with her increased tonnage and
the big advances in the cost of sup
plies since 1895, would probably be
nearer $4,000.

eaten on the German Lloyds last year.
1t would require line Of freight cars
extending from Central park to the
battery, or 81 trains of 80 cars each
to carry such quantity. These
steamers carried last year 661 1853 pas
sengers, which would reduce the av-
erage cost of feeding passenger. cal
culating the expense at 66 2-3 cents
per mile. to about $6.30h.
The 661,25s passengers put away
6,547,323 eggs, which. If packed 80
dozen in case and 100 cases to the
car, would require 119 40-foot cars. or
more than five trains to transport.

Plants Have Eyes, Can See.

Dublin.-Prof. Wager surprised the
Association for the Advancement of
Science by asserting that plants had
eyes and could see. He exhibited pho.
tographs taken through lenses formed
by the eyes of plants. He showed
that the outer skins of many leaves
are, in fact. lenses, much like the eyes
of many insects, and that they are as
capable of forming clear images of
surrounding objects. This. he showed,

pecially with those of plants that grow

PENNED UP HOGS.
They Will Not Do as Well as Animals
on Pasture.

Every domestic animal needs sun
shine and chance to exercise in the
open air. The hog is no exception to
this. But the hog Is about the only
animal that is ever kept penned up.
In the west, especially on the good
sized farms, it is the custom to permit
the hogs to Craze in the pastures. But
in thousands of small villages and in
the environs of cities the practice is
otherwise.
The writer knows that in a great
many localities the practice is to buy
two pigs in the spring and put them
In a pen perhaps six feet one way by
ten the other. Sometimes a yard of
about the same size as the pen is at
tached to the pen. Very often the
pen is in corner of the barn, and
from that pen the hogs never come
out alive. When the time comes to
slaughter them, they are killed in the
pens.
The writer, in Farmers Review,
states that he has known hogs to be-
come so fat in these pens that they
could not walk. The lack of exercise
was of course the great cause for this.
1t seems almost criminal to keep ami
mails under such conditions.
There are multitudes of small farms
where this practice is followed to-day.
1t is entirely unnecessary, as it would
cost very little to fence off an acre or
two of land and give the swine at least
that amount of room for exercise.
Rut WHY does the nractice exist at
all? Simply because people do things
without thinking why they do them.
To boy brought up on farm where
it is customary to pen the pigs. it
seems the natural thing to do.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-10-08

animals is very large. A predatory
animal not only kills what he can eat,
but often kills ten times more birds
than he can eat. The predatory ami
Erplals come out of the woods some
vines, and sometimes they come out
OF the houses of other farmers and
are pet dogs and cats. Sometimes
too the predatory animals are on the
farmers own farm and are known as
rats. The half-grown birds are not
large enough to make a good fight
when attacked, and are too large to
be carefully looked after by their
owners.

TELLS OF BURIED TREASURE.
Connecticut Man Says He Knows
Where 1t Can Be Found.

New Haven, Conn.-William L.
Moore of Meriden has written to a
Pittsburg newspaper telling of the
mysterious hiding in the suburbs of
Paris of 100000 in gold which was
stolen from a wealthy Pittsburg wom-
an. Moore is confident that he can
show her where to get her money
back He is now working in cafe
in Meriden.
THE money was stolen from the
woman, whose name ! can't mention
by her butler." said Moore. For rea-
sons known only to herself the Pitts
burg woman had gathered together
100000 francs in gold, and she and
her butler. who was Il confidential
servant, buried the money.
Some time later the butler went ia
the place. dug up the money. and re-
buried it in place known only to
himself. The woman was unable to
reveal the theft to the police, because
she did not wish them to know any
thing about the matter.
IN 1899 met the butler in Paris
and he gave me map of the place
where the treasure is. He died In a
London hospital in 1901

About $500 a Month Saved by Los
Angeles in Fertilizer Deal.

Los Angeles, Cal.-By engendering a
little rivalry between the fertilizer
companies the board of public works
has been able to get a revenue of
about 5000 monthly from the street
sweepings that formerly were carried
away and dumped-enough to pay the
salaries OF two members of the board
Nc money is actually paid to the
city by the company which gets the
sweepings. but the revenue comes
through the saving to the city of the
amount formerly paid to have them
gathered into wagons and carried
away, as the company gathers up the
sweepings in its own wagons, with its
own men. The city formerly was com
PEELED to pay $40 daily for this part
of the work.
Owing to the fact that the paved
streets are flushed every night there
is but little dust in the sweepings, and
the material gathered is almost pure
fertilizer. For this reason the COM
panies dealing in this material are
anxious to make a good bargain with
the city, and 1t was by exciting them
to rivalry that the board was able to
save the city $50 daily. .......
A small revenue. the exact amount
of which 1t is difficult to estimate. Is
