MISSISSIPPI PIGS
LEARN TO MILK COW

Mobile, August ia special from New
Augusta, Miss, says:
Some days since fine mich COW at this
place began to fail in her milk fiow
Her condition was fine, her feed liberal
and the time for her to wean and go
dry being far off. her sudden milk fail
ure was somewhat of mystery. But
soon it was found by close watch that
some pigs had learned to Sit upon their
hunkers as a pet poodle dog Is wont to
do and these pigs were luxuriat1ng in COW
milk at the discomfort of the owner of
the cow. The COW and pigs were placed
apart and the cow soon came back to
her usual flow.

of flea. The first, which was the hui

The second was the chigoe of hot coun-

horns, although naturally having sim
gle combs, are bred also with rose
combs. The rose comb is obtained
by introduction of Hamburg blood,
and the result is in general tendency
to smaller bodies and smaller eggs in
the rose comb varieties. The single
combs vary greatly in size and weight,
according to strain. Some of the

shorthorn cattle and Shire horses; but
an owner of Shires who brings them
up on light, thin-skinned land is Sc
verely handicapped when his horses

finds that his rivals who occupy stiff

of bone and good joints are absolutely
necessary nowadays on first-class
animal of this breed.
Shire horses are especially adapted
for town work and for hauling heavy
loads, and one can Judge from the
photograph of this strong, heavy and
yet compact mare how suitable this
breed is for that purpose. The Clydes-
dales are not such massive horses as
are the Shires, neither are they SO
large in the bone, but the strength and

RUFF|AN[Y POLICE REPLY
To STRICKEN PARENTS

There Is no excuse for the I'M
civil treatment accorded citizens at
times when visiting police head
quarters on business. Some of the
men in charge of the police station
seem to think that the more ruff
fianly they treat the public the bet
ter 1t will be liked by their supe-
riors. Especially is his so in the
case of unfortunates, who may be
so unlucky as to run counter to the
good will OF the police.
Take an incident that occurred
last Saturday night as a sample.
F. L. Georger and wife called at
the police station for aid. Their
son, boy of IL, and a neighbor
named Adams, had just been swal-
bowed to their doom in the surging
waters of the Spokane river in the
northeast part of the city, and they
wanted police aid in trying to re-
cover the bodies.
Naturally, the spirits of the
father and the mother were at a
low ebb. hence they were wholly
unprepared for the growing, bull.
dog treatment accorded them.
Georger told the story and asked
for help.

want" asked the officer addressed,
