We understand that Representative
Heffernan of this county, voted against
the appropriation for a new dairy barn
at the State college and also against
the hog cholera serum bill, which
carried a $4,000 appropriation for the
work of manufacturing the serum at
the college. Perhaps Mr.. Heffernan
had good reasons for his vote on these
two bills, but II he ever comes up for
office again his constituents will prob.
ably demand an explanation.

Barbed wire is all right, for stock
cattle and makes a cheap fence. but
1t is hard to construct such fence to
turn hogs, and, owing to its danger
Gus characteristics, it IS out Of the
question for horses, and even for

With the woven wire fence the post
expense Is not so great as that of the
other kinds, as they need not be so
heavy, and may be set good distance
apart. Heavy end posts are an abso-
lutte necessity, and they should be set
in the ground not less than 31a to 4
feet deep. If the line posts are 20 to
% feet apart it is very good idea
to have every fourth post of good size,
longer than the others, to allow extra
setting. In setting end posts dig a
big hole, put the post in, and begin to

not filling it too fast, SO as to get the

CONVICTED BY A THERMOMETER.
How the Assailants of a Scotch Physi-
clan Were Tracked.

In connection with the death of DIR.
Whitelaw of Kirkintilloch an interesting
story is told of his early career. Being
called up one night he was walking along
with the messenger when he was set
upon and knocked down in lonely part
of the road.
His pockets were rifed and he was
left lying on the road severely injured.
One Of the articles stolen was a
clinical thermometer with which he had
that evening taken the temperature of a
patient. He remembered the tempera-
ture registered, also that he had not
shaken down the mercury before putting
the thermometer back in his pocket; and
he communicated these facts to the po-
lice.
Some time afterward a thermometer
registering the identical temperature was
discovered in a pawnshop in Glasgow
and by this means the police were en-
abled to track the doctors assailants and
to arrest them. Glasgow Medical

CHILD ATE cUTIcURA.

Spread Whole Box of II ON Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.
A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
"My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
theAtlantic, investigated the stateroom
and located box of graham crackers
and box Of Cuticura Ointment. When
a search was made for the box, it was
found empty and the kid admitted
that he had eaten the contents of the
entire box spread on the crackers. 1t
cured him of bad cold and don't
know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every Ingredient of
Cuticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. II 1t may be
safely eaten by young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to even

Eaftenfng HOGS.

The hog Is an omniverous animal,
and needs "roughage' and green feed
for his best health and growth. GER
tain amount of grain feed Is needed
TO grow hogs with the greatest profit,
and still more Is necessary to fatten
and fit them for market. When young
animals have an abundance OF range
with a good supply Of heterogeneous
foods, like alfalfa, clover, vetches and
cow peas, corn makes a valuable addl-
ton to the ration, but should not be
given in excess, and will usually be
found more profitable If mixed with
shorts, bran or other feed combining
large proportion of protein. For
young pigs bran Is not so good as
shorts and ground COW peas may be
used in the place Of the latter when
the price exceeds $40 per ton.
Feeding for the finish should not
begin more than ten or twelve weeks
before the hogs are to be sold. For
the last six or eight weeks corn is I'M
doubtedly the best grain, as the feed
consumed during this time greatly IN
fiuences the quality of the meat. Hogs
take on flesh rapidly during the flrst
weeks of heavy feeding, but longer
feeding means slower gains. Quick
work pays in fattening as we'll as In
growing hogs, and when the animals
are on good feed and fail to make a

should be sold or butchered

Craip Smuts.

A dangerous parasite of many of the
cereal plants is the fungus that pro-
duces in the grain or head what is
known as smut There are several
well known kinds of smut, each of
which is caused by distinct species
of the fungus.
The greatest loss from smuts in this
country is from the sinking smut Of
wheat and the loose smut Of oats. A
considerable loss is also due to the
loose smuts of barley and wheat,
which are more difficult to control and
prevent They are widely distributed,
and though they occur usually in small
quantities the damage in the aggregate
is large. They often are entirely I'M
noticed on account of their earliness
and the absence Of any conspicuous
sign of them at harvest time.
The sinking smut Of wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut balls
which do not break until the wheat Is
threshed and often remain intact in
the threshed grain. The loose smuts
OF barley, on the other hand, early dis
charge their spores, which are blown
off by the wind as soon as the smutted
head comes out of the leaf sheath;
they infect the plant in the Towering
stage and enter the embryo inside the
ovary before the latter ripens into
. seed. An infected seed developes d
smutted plant the following year.
The most successful method thus far
found for preventing these SHUTS Is a
hot-water treatment of the seed. This
treatment is described in Bureau Of
Plant Industry bulletin 1872, entitled
"The Loose SHUTS of Barley and
Wheat" recently issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The bulletin is report of recent re-
searches into the life histories Of these
smuts and the determination of meth
DDS for their prevention.

Care of Milk Vessels.

The sooner the milk utensils and
separator are washed after use the
easier it is done and the less danger
there is of their becoming foul. To do
this properly you need three waters.
First, use lukewarm water to re-
move all the milk. Second, use water
little warmer, into which should be
thrown handful of salsoda or few
drops Of concentrated I've. Third, use
an abundance of boiling water, which
must penetrate every nook and cor
ner and remain long enough to de-
stroy every germ that may still be
looking for home.

price Of meat in Germany the Berlin
restaurant keepers have Unidentified
themselves by serving smaller quantity
of flesh to each diner. This aroused the

and they made a joint protest and band
ed themselves together to prosecute if
necessary. The restauranteurs have for
the time satisfied their clients by getting
the carver recognized officially, and he
now discharges the double functions OF
carver and sworn weigher. According
to a Paris contemporary, these tran

CUTTINGS.
The Trade Name for Such Fabrics as
Pidues and Vestings.

Among the finest and most distinctive
varieties of textile fabrics are the cloths
technically known as Cuttings" which,
however, have nothing to do with bed
quilts but include such fabrics as piques,
diamonds, mattings and the materials
for gentlemen's light waistcoats-
The important processes in the manu-
featuring of cuttings are zealously
guarded as trade secrets says the Lon
don Illustrated News. They represent
the finest achievements in cotton cloth.
The extreme delicacy of their manu-
facture may be gathered from the fact
that down even to twenty-five years ago
they were still largely made on the hand
loom, the work being done not in mills
but given out to the workers in their
own homes. By constant experiment
and after many failures quilting loom
was constructed which could be driven
by power, though its production was
only slightly faster than the hand loom.
During the last twenty years great inn
provements have been introduced. es-
pecially at Bury, England, which claims
to be the center for the making of quilt

With very few exceptions, birds are
most valuable live stock on the farm.
Even the so-called grain-eating birds
earn their right to a home and pro-

the number of insects they destroy.
