IL Was Cruel.

Mrs. Frank Crandall, of Flint. de-
serted by her husband a year ago with
her four children unable TO find a
house to live in at rent she could
pay, has been living in a hired tent
which was set up on a vacant field.
One OF the children is now i'll, and
the woman, handicapped in securing
work, was unable to pay her tent rent
when it fell due last night.
The owner of the canvas came at
10 o'clock to demand his money, and
when it was not forthcoming, deaf to
the pleadings of the woman for her
sick child, he took down the tent and
hauled ii away. The little family was
left in the field with no covering over
what household furniture she pos
sessed.
The police were notified, and took
the family to police headquarters.

shelter. They will be cared for by

action of the teBt owner, who left the

SPRAYING POTATOES
AGAINST BLIGHT
Directions Given by the wiScon-

Making Mixture.

We take the following directions
from the bulletin issued by the Wis
consin experiment station on spraying
potatoes against blight:
"One hundred and fifty pounds of
blue vitrol, 200 pounds of fresh lime,
five cents worth of potassium ferro-
cyanide crystals The 200 pounds of
fresh lime will be sufficient for the
season, and should be bought in small
lots at the time of spraying. The first
application will require 40 pounds of
blue vitrol and 80 pounds of fresh
lime. Suspend the blue vitrol in one
half barrel water (25 gallons) the
evening before spraying.
Hang the blue vitrol well up from
the bottom of the barrel, and use,
when possible, only wooden or copper
vessels in handling the solution. Iron

doing full work if she farrows only
once.
There is a widespread feeling that
young sows that raise just one litter,
and are then put in the fattening pen,
are growing into money faster than If
retained longer for breeders. This is
because the possibilities of the second
litter each year from mature sows are
not fully realized. Again, mature sows
experience less difficulty at narrowing,
and raise more and stronger pigs than
young sows.
AS to numbers of pigs, the follow
ing is rather an extreme example. My
father in a recent year, from 10 ma
ture sows, raised 104 pigs in the
spring, all farrowed inside of two
weeks, so they were uniform in size,
with not one runt. A neighbor, from
100 gifts, raised less than 100 pigs,
varying as much as two months in
ages. A tabulation of the litters from
6,145 sows, recorded in one volume of
