The Auto-piano is not an electric

It is lust a regular style piano, Mt

ism.
| II has the regular keyboard just
like any other piano and is always
ready for "finger-playing" by the plan

It is likewise always ready for auto
matte playing by use of paper rolls
and pedals.
So it plays both ways and every
member of the family can play with
out any knowledge of music.
The catalogue of music rolls con-
tains thousands of the best selections,
and is being constantly added TO-
There is also a large list of accompa-
niments for songs, violin and other
instruments. Many singers cannot

WEAN PIGS AT PROPER TIME
Much Depends Upon Their Thrift,
Season of Year, Accommodation
and Their Feed.
BY w. Fl.

w. IL
The age at which pigs can be
ponds largely upon their thrift, the
season of the year, the accommoda-
ton and the feed one has for them. l
do not consider it advisable to wean
pigs before they are two months old, L
prefer more, to less age.
/ generally wean my early pigs in
May, as / like to raise fall litters
from a portion Of the sows. Sows
can ordinarily be bred within a week
after the pigs are taken away.
Sows that farrow in June will be
too late to breed for fall farrow. 1t
with the sows until they wean them
selves.
l prefer to have my sows with lit
ters in as small punches as possible
prefer a house and small yard with
plenty of grass for each SOW If they
are thus divided, and any of the pigs
get out of order, you at once know
what litter it is, and feed accordingly.
Watch the little pigs closely and
if they look thin and hungry see that
their mother is better fed and swilled.
AS it is next to impossible to raise
a litter of pigs without some of them
getting the scours at me time or
another, l will give my treatment for
this ailment, which has proven sue
cessful to me.
/ watch them closely, and il any
of them are too loose at the next feed
ing l dissolve a teaspoonful of cop
peras, in a little warm water and feed
it to the SOW in her swill. If the first
lose does not prove effective, l give
another the following day.
When the pigs get from two to four
weeks old l fence off a corner in the
yard, where the dam cannot go, and
give the pigs all the shelled corn they
will eat.
AS soon as they are accustomed to.
coming for the corn l begin by feeding
a little fresh milk diluted one-half
wit water. l begin with one cupfulI
and increase the amount as they learn.
to drink.
AS the stomach of a little pig is
as sensitive and delicate as that of a.
child it is very important that no milk
is left in the trough from the previ-
Gus feed as it tends to sour the trough
and the new milk.
After | have the pigs eating and
drinking. so they will come when
called and their stomach thoroughly
accustomed to the feed they are ready
to wean.

"He admits that he had the bag"
somebody said behind me. "How did
you guess that he wore glasses, any
how?" to the amateur sleuth.
That gentleman cleared his throat.
"There were two reasons" he said,
"for ~suspecting it. When you see a
man with the lines of his face droop-
ing, a healthy Individual with a pen
sive eye-suspect astigmatism. Be-
sides, this gentleman has a pro-
nounCed line across the bridge of his
nose and a mark on his ear from the
chain"
After this remarkable exhibition of
the theoretical as combined with the
practical, he sank into a seat near by,
and still holding the chain, sat with
closed Eyes and pursed lips. It was
evident to all the car that the solution
of the mystery was a question of mo.
ments. Once he bent forward eagerly
and putting the chain on the window
sill, proceeded to go over it with a
pocket magnifying glass, only to
shake his head in disappointment. All
the people around shook their heads,
too, although they had not the slight
est idea what it was about.
The pounding in nay ears began
again. The group around me seemed
to be suddenly motionless in the very
act Of moving, rs il a hypnotist had
called Rigid" The girl in blue was
locking at me, and above the din l
thought she said she must speak to
me-something vital. The pounding
grew louder and merged into a scream.

Chances for FIaq Poor.

When Washington with his pencil

flag the chance for it's being long In
use seemed very poor indeed. A power
full British army under Burgoyne
was advancing up Lake Champlaln
driving everything American before l.
General Howe with an army larger
than Washington was on his way
to capture Philadelphia. Either one
of these British armies would probab-
ly have beaten Washington army In
a pitched battle. A large party among
the Americans was ready and willing
to give the British all the help 1t
could or dared to give. And Joined
to all the secret foes of the young

How the Flag was Made

The making of the first national flag
was under the personal direction of
Congress. Mrs. Betsy Ross was car
rying on an upholstering business
in Philadelphia and to her went Wash
ington and the committee. They
asked her If she could make flag
according to pencil drawing made by
General Washington. She answered
that she was willing to try. The
stars in the drawing made by Wash
ington had six points after the Eng.
lish fashion. Mrs Ross Suggested
that stars with five points would be
more symmetrical and pleasing to
the eye. and she showed the com
mittee how such star could be
made by folding piece of paper
and making the pattern by a single
cut of the shears. Her suggestion
was accepted and the flag was fin
ished the next day From that time
to the present the stars on all Amer
lean flags have been five pointed
stars, while the stars on the United
States coins have six points.

How Flags Came Into Existance

SO accustomed are we to the sight
the Stars and Stripes and other
flags, that perhaps we forget that
there was time when flags were UNI
Known. OF course there were en-
blems and other devices to represent
countries and which were carried at
the head o. armies Standards, ban
ners and ensigns were also frequently
referred to In the Bible. but in all
probability they We're not flags as we
understand them. In fact flags have.
been ag a iual evo ution from emblem
banners, and, sometimes capes, like
the blue flag of st. Martin which
Clovis, king of the Franks, flung to
the breeze, and which for over cen
fury was the royal ensign 1t is
to the Crusades, and especially to
that of Richard, Occur de Lion, we
must look for the real dignity of the
