Woman Conduct. a Nous. Farm.

A woman in western Massachusetts,
makes q living at the unusual occupa.
ton of mouse farming, says the Amer.
lean Cultivator. Last year she sold
5000 mice and rats for experimental
purposes. They were bought by the
laboratories for use in the study of tn.
berculosis and various diseases. The
animals are artifcially infected and
the results studied by observations
carefully recorded. Mice are used in
greatest numbers at SIS to s25 per
100. Rats sell for about S25 per 100.
The animals are kept in cages on the
farm buildings. Besides rats and mice
the live stock includes several hun.
dred guinea pigs and q number of rab-
bits. Some Of the animals are of
rare breeds and are sold for pets.
They are fed on grain and vegetables,
using several hundred dollars worth
of oats yearly and several tons of
carrots and other vegetables. Guinea
pigs are used in large numbers in the
laboratories for the manufacture of
antitoxin. the antidOte for the poison
which certain diseases create in the
system.

KEEPING SWINE
ON THE FARM
thoroughbred Stock of Any Mind
Is the Most Profitable for
the Farmer to Keep.

7 am a great believer in keeping
swine on the farm, and have often
wondered why more farmers do not
engage in this profitable industry,

culturiSt. / have bred swine for many
years, and am a friend to all, but con-
slider the Berkshire the most profit

.oughbred; STOCK of any kind is the
most profitable for the farmer to
keep.
In order to be successful it is neces-
sary to give the hogs considerable
care, especially at narrowing time. l
put nay sows in pens by themselves
about two weeks. before narrowing
time, and feed them bran and -four

water and occasionally add some salt
and little linseed oil. Give them

treatment / never have any trouble
from sOws eating their pigs. After
. pigs are born feed lightly for first
week, and increase feed as pigs grow
older. l generally Wean pigs at four
to ok weeks Of age.
AS l sell a large number Of pigs
each year for breeding purposes, do
not fatten a great many, but think
most every farmers can make 1t prof
table to raise more pigs for pork.

At 1880 they we're both at the sp.
pointed corners. each acting on the
others suggestion.
Smith stood on his corner a minute
thinking deeply. Jones is probably
around on that other corner waiting
for me" he unused. Then a bright
idea struck him. "Hal III 60 around
to his corner and get him" Gov.
The brilliant brains of Jones per.
ceived, too. that they had chosen op.
posite corners, and 1t was only neces,
sary to go around to Smiths corner to
see his partner And, like Smith. he
started off for the other corner.
Now, 1t was strictly to their disad-
vantage that great minds run in the
same channel For Smith and Jones
made the mistake-although quite ma
tural-of, both going in the same al,
rection with relation to each other!
Smith started around the block by
going west, while Jones went around
the block easterly from his corner.
When each got at the other corner. Of
course nobody was there. Then they
both concluded that each had decided
that the other, not finding anybody
there, would go back to the appointed
place. Smith retraced his steps and
went back to his corner, and jones did
the same thing. Just then Smith rea-
soned that he had done q bad thing,
and the thing now to do was to go all
around the block-take in all the four
corners and thus surely include Jones.
So he reversed his course and went
around the block. Smith had walked
around the block four times without
seeing Jones, wnen he caught
glimpse of him just turning the corner
down the street. Then Smith started
of on dead run. II was Just rs Jones
was turning that corner that he made
up his mind that his pace was too slow
to catch Smith and he let out. Around
the block at full speed went Jones
and around the block at great rate
went Smith. People saw a min run
ming down the street as II he were
chasing a trolley car, and little while
another one came along flying in the
same direction. on.
At nine o'clock Smith came home,
slammed the door and sat down and
wrote:
Dear Friend Jones: When yod want
to see me you will find me at my
house. You can come whenever you
ike. Yours, Smith"
And when Smith got home the next
night he did not know whether tne let
ter he received from Jones was a re-
ply to his letter or not. It reads d.
Dear Smith: I'm not COINS out
nights for the next six weeks. You
know where live. Yours, Jones'" o.
1t is expected that Smith and Jones
will meet at an early day. Bic this
explains why some inventions are re-
tarded by trifiing circumstances.

The Concord Of Smith and Jones

Some inventions Of great possible
benefit to mankind are often delayed
by trivial details.
You no doubt have heard Of Smith

the Smith and Jones referred to here
are not fictitious. You see, Elmer
Smith was a conductor ON a trolley
car and Homer Jones was a motor.

now that the saying that "greatminds
run In the same channel" is too vague.
He thinks they run on the same troll

with Jones he found the latter was
also trying some mechanical improve.
ments, and thereafter they Got to-
Tether at every opportunity to get the
benefit Of joint ingenuity.
Smith lived In the middle Of q
block, and when he saw that rooms
were to let on the opposite side Of
the same block he quickly told Jones,

because he could talk over his back
