An Anti-Swear Collar Button

A collar button that absolutely re-
fuses to roll under the dressing table
or the bed was the piece de resistance
at the Wearing Apparel and Fashion
show that opened at the Madison
Square Garden, Saturday. Although
the main floor OF the garden and the
balcony were filled with booths in
when all sorts Of garments for men
women and children wer on exhibition
the men were thickest about the pa
CODA in which were shown samples Of
the new collar button. As the orator
in charge Of the exhibit explained
there was no secret in the simple little
article. All there was to il was that IL
was made with an oblong base instead
OF circular one.
"Can brick roll under the dressing
table?' "sked the orator. mo. Neither
can this beautiful little collar button,
which is patterned after the lowly but
unreliable brick"

How Arrows Were Poisoned

An old Cherokee indian recently
told how the Indians Of oIden times
used 10 poison their arrowheads for
var purpose or for killing bears They
took fresh deer liver. fastened it to
a long pole. and then went to certain
places where they knew they woul
find rnttlesnakes in abundance.
About midday the rattIers are all
out Of their dens, coiled up in the sun
shine. The bucks would poke the first
rattler with the liver on the long pale.
A rattIer, unlike common snakes, al
ways shows fight in preference to es-
capiug.
The snake would thus repeatedly
strike at the liver with its faugs until
its poison was all used up. where
upon it would quit striking and try to
slowly move on. The bucks would
then hunt up another rattler and re-
neat the performance, keeping up the
work until the liver mas we'll soaked
with snake poison.
Then the pole was carried home ard
fastened somewhere in an upright Do
sition until the liver became as dry as
a bone. The liver was pounded to a
fine powder and placed into a buck
skin bag, to be used when needed for
their arrows This powder would stick
like glue to any moistened surface.

FEEDING OF THE YOUNG PIG
TO Do It Properly ls Both an Art ana
Science and Well Worth
Studying.

It is both an art and a science TO
properly feed young pigs, and is some
thing we'll worth any farmers time 10
study. The most economical gains
that a pig ever makes are made while
he is young, and upon his early
growth and the proper development
of his digestive system depends the
economy and success with which ne
will later be fattened. Hence one
must consider not alone supplying the
nutriments to make continuous growth
but supply such feeds as will develop
and prepare the digestive system for
the handling of the kinds and quaint
ties of feeds required in the finishing
process.
When the pig is born it's digestive
tract is filled with manure (the re
suit of mucous excretions probably
called meconium. Nature has provid
ed for the removal of this by making
| the first milk of the dam very rich II
oily globules which act as laxative

Permanent Teeth.

After the fangs have been alb
sorbed the remains fall off and the
permanent teeth appear. When this IS
the case the colt is rising three. At
three years the two permanent CEN
trail teeth are level with the two mid
die incisors. When the same process
has begun in the two lower middle in
cisors the colt is three off" in horse
variance. When the two middle colt
teeth have dropped he is "rising four
At four the two permanent middle in
cisors are level with the two perman
ent incisors. The same process goes
on with the outside incisors until the
colt reaches five, when the incisol
teeth are level The permanent teeth
in the top jaw usually mature in ad
vance and the lower jaw is therefore
the best safeguard

and slide this meconium out ready.
If it is left in the system gases arise
from it. and it is absorbed into the
system, causing the pig discomfort
and sickness. If the dam for any rea-
son dies, very rich milk must be sup
piled to remove this meconium.
The muscles surrounding the diges-
tive canals of a little pig are not
strong. 1t is not natural they should
be. Therefore the little pig is NOS
fitted to cope with large amounts OF
crude fiber. 1t needs bulky but fine
feeds. Coarse cellulose, such as is
found in oats, barley and things Of
that sort, it is almost impossible for
a small pig with it's rather feeble mus
cular activity to handle. The mucous
Innings of the intestines and stomacf
are tender and delicate. They becomS
irritated very easily by coarse, harsf
substances. Giving them rough, graf
ing feeds would produce about the
same sensation in their intestines tina
getting a cinder into the eye does upol
the membrane Of the eyelid.
The cells of the digestive trac
through which the nutrients pass GU
into the system are small. The at
sorption powers of the pig are there
fore weak. He cannot handle a
many nutrients nor as easily as ca
the large celled mature animal. T
give him more than he can absort
is not alone a waste of feed, but ais
waste of his energy. The nutrient
that he digests and does not absor
simply pass out with the feces. The

nevertheless had the work of diges
ing them.
