THE RAZOR-BACK HOG:
Menace to Hunters--.De-
StrOys Egg and Young
of Game Birds.

A North Carolina correspondent
says that through the enforcing of
the stock laws in the mountains of
that State the ravages of the razor
back hog are being curtailed.
In number of the Southern and
Middle Western States hogs are per-
mitted to roam at will through the
woods and river bottoms of sparsely
settled regions. An attempt is made
to mark them by means of notching,
Sitting or clipping the ears, an un.
satisfactory method at best. and
one which has caused many a neigh.
borhood feud and the spilling of
some human blood.
There is always a certain per-
eentage of these hogs that cannot be
claimed or taken up by any person,
because proof of ownership is lack
ing, and, as the practice has been in
vogue for a great many years, there
are plenty of genuine wild hogs.
Whether or not the progenitors
of the razor-back hog were fat,
slow going beasts, such as pros
porous farmers own, we do not
know. The fact is that the present
woods rangers are long Of leg. swift
of foot and so lean that the term
razor back" is fairly appropriate.
Accustomed to encounters with
other woods providers in defense of
their young, they have developed
courage of a sort, and, while they
will not attack men, they often set
upon hunting dogs, invade camps
and despoil everything within their
reach.
"In the regions infested by these
scavengers the loss in eggs and the
young of game birds is very large.
Where there are no fences the razor
backs scour the woods so carefully
that nothing they will eat escapes.
They travel fast and far and rake
the country as with a fine tooth
comb: their sense of smell is highly
developed, and eggs and young of
ground-nesting birds are never safe
when they are abroad. Forest and

BOTTLE FOUND IN TREE.
Sealed iD Heart of Maple For
Thirty Years.

A pint bottle filled with rare old
whiskey, the age of which is uncer-
tain, has been found here imbedded
soldly in the heart of maple tree
almost four feet in diameter.
President Graham, of the park
board, concluded that there were too
many trees in Bayless Park, a breath
ing spot in the center of the city, 80
he concluded to cut out a number of
the naples that were planted more
than fifty years ago, when Council
Bluffs was first given a place upon
the Iowa map.
One particular tree that was in
the course of new path that was
proposed was marked for the sacri-
flee. The choppers felled this tree,
finding it solid from circumference
to center. Saving the trunk into
four foot lengths, eight feet from
the butt. the saw just missed long
necked black bottle. Observing it
the choppers carefully hewed away
the wood, when to their surprise,
they brought fourth, tightly corked,
a bottle of one pint capacity, filled
with liquor. The cork was removed
and the odor of liquor became ap-
parent. 1t was sampled by experts
who pronounced it whiskey of a most
superior quality.
How the bottle of whiskey got In
to the center of the huge maple tree
is mystery that even the oldest
settler is unable to solve. At no
place about it was there any cavity
and counting the rings of wood from
the place where the bottle was
lodged. each one of which represents
a years growth of the tree, it must
have been there thirty years. Be-
sides this. old settlers state that the
bottle is of the type in use from fifty
to sixty years ago. The bottle and
contents have been placed in the
public library as a curio. Council

Holding eggs for better prices might
look like a shrewd business move, but
it is not. There is nothing that counts
so strongly in mans success as repu-

great confidence is placed for market
ing nothing but prime stock is the man
that is sure to win out.

The life of a fresh egg is generally

PROPER CARE or EGGS.

Mistake to Hold Them For Higher

Where can the blame be properly

The Kansas State Agricultural college

reasons First. some few farmers de-

writer in the Philadelphia Record.
Ii is indeed a bad practice to trade
off the eggs at the village store Some
merchants even offer 2 cents a dozen
more for eggs sold for trade than
they do those sold for cash. The price
