Exporting hydraulic Power.

The government of Denmark pro-
poses to carry out with the aid of its
engineers the following plan: Upon
the southern shore of the Sund is
found the old city of Helsingborg, not
far from which the Lagu rushes down
from an elevated plateau over a
stretch of about thirty kilometers. A
fall of 100 meters is situated not
more than two kilometers from the
mouth OF the Lagu. 1t is at this point
and for the purpose of using this i'm.
portant natural motive force that 1t
has been decided to establish hydro
electric plant. transmitting its current
to Helsingborg (first relay. The SUBJ
marine cables traversing the Sund
permit the distribution of the electric
energy produced in Sweden over the
territory of Denmark. The island of
Seland, in which is found the Danish
capital. will be the first to benefit by
this installation. which will be very
easily carried out. for between Hell
singborg (Sweden) and Helsingor
tDenmark) the arm of the sea is very
narrow, not more than five kilometers
wide; due to this circumstance the
work necessary for the establishment
of the submarine cables does not pre-
sent any insurmountable difficulties

said to have made the selection after
hearing from personal friends of the
jurist.
In accepting place upon the fed
eral bench Judge Carpenter is max
ing personal sacrifice and told
friends that 1t would require revi-
sion of his mode of living. AS fed
eral Judge he will receive $4,000 a
year less salary. The yearly pay for
a circuit judge in Cook county is $10.-
900. and upon the federal bench Judge
Carpenter will receive $4,000 a year.
The appointment carries a life tenure
of office.
Judge Carpenter was first elected
to the Circuit bench in 1906. to the
seat made vacant by the death Of the
late Judge Tuley. He was reelected
last June for a six-year term. He
lives in the Twenty-first ward and po-
litically has been friendly to Mayor

have acquiesced in the naming of
Judge Carpenter. although reports

TUBERCULOSIS OF HOGS
CAUSING HEAVY LOSSES
Report OF Bureau Industry Of Department
OF Agriculture Raiser
Packer Suffer-

Reports gathered from the various
meat packing centers Of this country
show tuberculosis of hogs to be on
the increase and causing heavier loss
to raaiser and packer alike than any
other disease.
Statistics show that a year ago
there were over 56.0OO.000 hogs in
this country and their value at that
time was over $339.O00.0O0. Federal
inspection at the abattoirs of the
country show two per cent. of the
hogs slaughtered to be affected with
tuberculosis.
The small amount OF money re-
quired to start in the hog-raising busi-
ness and the quick returns on the
amount invested make 1t an attractive
field for operations. Hogs will make
greater gains on less feed than almost
any other live stock and at the same
time utilize profitably waste food
products of every variety II properly
prepared. AS tuberculosis of hogs is
chiefly contracted through feeding. the
significance of the latter feature is
obvious.
Hogs from Arkansas. Oklahoma and
Texas are remarkably free from tu-
berculosis. due to the methods of car
ing for them. or rather the lack of

PREPARE MEAT
FOR WINTER
Box or Barrel Can Be Utilized
for Smoke House In Which to
Hang the HamS-Smoke
Must Be Kept Cool.

If a smoke house is not at hand,
box or barrel can be utilized in which
to hang the hams. The fire should not
be placed directly beneath them. as
many farmers do, but should be
placed outside. and the smoke con-
veyed to the box or barrel by a little
tunnel. The reason for this is that
the smoke should be cool. Where it
is hot it cooks the meat. and the meat
does not look, taste nor keep so well.
The fire should be steady and even,
and for this reason corn cobs or hard
wood OF some sort are the best fuels
to use. Soft woods not alone make
too uneven and fiashy fire. but
give of SO much carbon because of
their resin that they affect the flavor

door leading by stairway to the

Leading upward from the ceiling were
two hay chutes two by three feet in
cross sections, 20 feet high, which
could be opened or closed at will. and

the ridge of the roof inside.
During the trial the COWS were kept
continuously in the stable with the
hay chutes closed during two days
and then with them open two days,
the trials being repeated four times.

chutes were left closed during three
