a few tricks to be learned from a real
live n from Tennessee. A friend
met him after he'd been here three
months and asked him how it's was go

You all have heard the story about
the fellow who'd been bitten by a rat
tlesnake," said Mr.. Dickinson, in a
gentle query. NO? Well, the fellow
got bitten by the rattlesnake and he
was in a desperate condition. A friend
of his grabbed a quart flask and start
ed for the place where he knew he
could get the only recognized a%ntidote
for a rattlesnake bite.
The man there started to fill up the.
commercial TASKS that didn't hold a
quart when it ought to have. You.
know the kind, gentlemen. The man.
who was filling the flask had about
9 three finger los left over and the
kind friend who was waiting to take
the flask to the stricken man saw
there was this much left over.
"'What shall 1 do with this left
over?' asked the man who was filling
the flask.
""Well, come to think Of it, that
pesky snake took an awful leap at me-,
said the fellow who was waiting for
the flask, and he pretty near got me.

and the right hand points toward

inscribed the famous tribute of Gen.
Henry Lee: First in War. First In

Countrymen."
The history OF this statue dates from
the year 1852 when congress author
lied the president to employ the sculp
tor Greenough to execute a full length
statue. The figure. which weighs fully
FL tons. was chiseled in Florence,
Italy. and the problem of bringing II
safely to America proved a most per
picking one. Commodore Hull was
sent with a man-of-war to get the work
of art. but he found that it would be
necessary to rip up the ships decks
in order to place the cumbersome bur
den in the hold, and he objected to
doing this. Finally, a merchant vessel
had to be chartered for the task n
partially reconstructed. The statue
was first placed IN the rotunda Of the
capitol, but later was placed on the
plaza. The figure, which cost Uncle
Sam more. than $4,000, has always
the object of more or less criti-
cism because of the lack of drapery.

monuments ever erected to

ONE TRUE AFFINITY
Is THAT EXISTING BETWEEN A
BOY AND HIS DOG.
Are Natural Companions, n That
Youngster Who Has Never Had a
Four-Footed Chum Is to
Be Piried.

If there was ever a true affinity
upon this old earth, it exists between
a boy and a dog. The boy who does
not just naturally love a dog is not
normal-provided he has eve owned
and associated with one. Nature has
left something u of him which
should be there. In these days Of
tabloid domestic economy. when fam
lilies live in ~pigeOnhOles and city poo
pie almost forget what fields and
woods look like, we have tried to
eliminate the dog from his rightful
place. His place is that of a faith
full companion, Vigilant guardian and
chum who never has a crouch, never
demands more than a bone and does
not care whether his master is a
prince or a pauper We are trying to
raise children without dogs. We are
trying to cultivate in our boys and
girls the virtues of love, patience,
kindness and humanity without Civ
ing them dogs.
In the grist of a great city's news
the other day was the story of a boy
ten years old who had a dog. This
animal had no pride Of pedigree, but
that didn't make the least difference.
The boy had some bad companions
and he played truant from school. In
some way or other the boys parents
blamed h faithful dog. The boy was
forced to give his pet to a neighbor
and the boys family moved far into
another part Of the city. The boy
yearned for his dog. His little heart
was broken and he cried day and
night. One day this boy tied a few
things into a package, took five dol
lars from his mothers dresser and
went away. He walked far back to
where his dog was, and two days later
he was found playing with his four
footed friend.
Then the officers and the parents
did a surprising thing. They locked
up this little boy and took away his
dog. And they wondered what they
were going to do with the boy. And
again the boy cried and was uncon
solable. The parole-of1cer said: That
boy is a proposition. When he has
his dog he is a good boy, but he will
not be separated. / expect that the
dog will have to be returned to him"
The boy who will cling so tenacious
ly to his dog is not inherently bad.
What possible harm can come from
giving him back his chum? These
u be strange parents who will de-
liberately deprive a child Of ten
years of his dearest treasure. The
writer of this has deep sympathy for
this bereaved youngster, for far back
in the haze of his vanished youth
there was a dog that he loved better
even than the school teacher. That
dog was ever at his heels and shared
in all his boyhood joys and sorrows. If
there is something that corresponds
to a woodshed in heaven, we hope
that that faithful old tail Is still wag-
g1ng Justify. Out of wearying re-
probabilities, grinding duties and the
turmoil of manhood estate we AXE
time to raise our voice against that
unkind conspiracy which is trying to
rob this t~en-year-old boy of his dog.

MANAGEMENT Of SWINE

There are two systems now com
monty used for housing swine, the
central house system and the separ-
ate houses. Both have their advant-
ages m many farmers will do we'll
to use both to a certain extent. The
i'm portant factor in pig pens is to
keep the swine dry and free from
drafts. Damp beds and sleeping pens
cause rOuble.
Cement floors are preferable for a
hog house, but sleeping pens should
always be overlaid with board floors.
AS a rule hogs should be fed outside
on a feeding floor. Inside feeding is
~unsanitary, and wasteful of space
even though it may be convenient.
WEAVING pigs is a very important
subject. If rot properly weaned it
proves detrimental to both the soWs
and the pigs. Pigs begin to eat when
four or five weeks old, and it is al
ways best to have them eating we'll
before weaving. They can be fed to
the best advantage in a small pen
from the old saws. The pigs
will early learn to eat shelled corn,
and a small quantity hould always be
kept before them, either In a trough
or in a clean spot on the feeding floor.
When fed on a slop ration the dry
corn they consume in addition APP
pears to keep them from securing. At
this stage of growth the utmost care
should be taken to keep utmost care
should be taken to keep the animals
from getting off feed. They should
thrive and grow steadily. Fresh feed,
clean troushs and feeding floors. with
comfortable quarters, will aid much
in securing these results.
The young pigs should be fed at
least three times a day, but not an
excessive amount, and may be wean-
ed at six weeks, but eight weeks is
preferable. Many farmers allow pigs
to run with their dams for 10 or IL
weeks, which Is possible where only
one litter Is produced per year. 1t a
good practice to allow a few Of the
smaller pigs to remain with the soWs,
When the larger ones are weaned, in
order that the milk flow of the sows
may be dried off gradually. If this is
not convenient the SoWS should be
turned in with the pigs once a day for
three or four days. This Will obviate
trouble with their udders.

perhaps the commoneSt variety. This
