not desirable that a growing pig take
on big chunks of fat.
No matter how many sows are kent
on the farm the selection of the boar
is Of great Importance. There are
many pure bred hogs in all parts of
the country, 50 there is no reason for
the use of scrub boar by anyone.
The character of the get of a scrub
boar is guesswork, whereas with the
pure-bred boar there is some assur-
ance that his get will be uniform and
of a quality indicated by his ances-
tors. When possible the boar should
be selected on the place where he
was raised.
Pork packing figures show that on
March l, 1910, there was as compar-
ed with the same date in 1903. a
three-quarter million hog shortage in
the United States alone. Is II any

FIERCE FIGHT BETWEEN
OFFICERS AND SMUGGLERs

Brusses.-A fierce fight between
customs officers and smugglers in "A
motor car took place at Boescheppe.
on the Franco-Belgian frontier. The
two officers. Spellebut and Sommier,
were watching the road when they
saw the motor car coming. full speed,
toward them. There were three men in
the car including the chauffeur who
refused to stop when called upon. So
one of the officers promptly swung
barrow across the road.
The smugglers seeing that 1t would
be impossible to pass the obstacle,
thereupon tried to turn around, but
before they could do so the customs
men were upon them. Spellebut
jumped on the step of the car, but
one Of the smugglers seized heavy
iron bar, and aimed a terrific blow
at the officer. who avoided 1t by
jumping off the car. His assailant
also Jumped from the car and took
to his heels. with spellebut after him.
At this moment Commier reached
the car by thrusting his bayonet into
one of the tires, but finding this OF
no use, jumped behind and clung to
the hood. Spellebut, unable to catch
the smuggler who had run away, now
turned to help his comrade, and fired
two bullets into the tires of the car.

which was already going at full speed.
A desperate struggle took place be-
tween Sommier and the smuggler in
the car. The chauffeur had evidently
made up his mind 10 take desperate
measures, for he set the car straight
at the barrow which was swept out of
the way, and the motor rushed on
ward. Sommier made last frantic
struggle to seize his antagonist, who.
collecting all his strength. succeeded
in throwing the officer into the road
way where he lay with broken arm.
Spellebut fired two more shots at the
tres, but the car WAS quickly out OF
sight.
The chauffeur. who succeeded in
saving the car is supposed to be a
notorious Armenian called Miguers-
disch, who was arrested ut Bailleul a
year ago while trying to perform a
similar feat-smuggle Belgian tobacco
into France. On that occasion he was
wounded by bullet in the heel and
was taken to Lille hospital but he
managed to escape while the hospital
attendant was sleeping.

NEW YORK OPERA IN
PARIS NETS PROFITS

ParlS.-When the first season of the
Metropolitan company in Paris ended
az the Chatelet theatre with a perfor-
nance of "Manon Lescaut," nearly
eight thousand frances ($16O. .OOO),
had been paid into the treasury and
a small but comfortable profit real
lied. As a result next season will
doubtless see another Metropolitan
company here, but the prices of ad-
mission will be considerably lower.
Puccini is not only the only famous
composer who thinks of earning his
attention for a time to comparatively
light subjects. De Busy has just
told me that it is quite possible he will
follow up his Edgar Allen Poe opera
with something numerous or fanci-
! ful. Perhaps" he added, "even with
a comic opera; a composer should
not confine himself to one style. Many
an artist has been killed by repeating
| himself"
During his projected American tour
De Busy will act as conductor at
number of concerts.
Frank Vanderstucken is planning n
| light opera, but so far he has not
succeeded in finding a suitable liber-
| etto.
Gluck and possibly Meyerbeer will
have conspicuous places in the reper-
tory OF the Metropolitan next season.
Il is quite likely that "Armide" which
has long been promised by successive
New York arrangements, viii be pro-
duced on the opening night, with
F'Temstad in the leading role. IT Is
now certain that "Ariane ct Barbe
Bleue" will also be produced while

FACTS FOR FARMERS

than to compel them to suffer day
after day fighting flies in the blister
ing sun.
Some dairymen keep their cows in
side during the worst part of the fly
season, allowing them to run out
nights.
After a run out in the pasture they
are put in the stable in the morning
and it is So darkened that the flies
will remain outside.
A little green foliage fed while
they are kept inside during the day
and the loss in milk and flesh is re-
duced to minimum.
Few dairymen can afford to with
stand the losses that are due to the
fly pest.
1t is claimed by good authorities
that in some cases an animal loses
more than a pint of blood each day
and such losses and suffering mean
| that they can not return a profit at
the pail when they are handled in this
manner.
In nearly every dairy. section flies
cut off from thirty to forty per cent
in the receipts of the creameries.
| No dairy section can afford to
stand such severe losses.
Until we find some fly repelant of

BEE CULTURE BOONIED AS
MONEY MAKING INDUSTRY

Washington.-The department of
agriculture has just issued a farmers
bulletin booming bee culture. There
is money in bee keeping If it is man
aged right according to the bulle-
tin. and the purpose of the publica-
tion is to give briefly the information
needed by persons engaged in the
industry
Bee keeping is being carried on
with both pleasure and profit by
many thousands of persons in all
parts of the United States, and while
as a rule it is not the sole occupation
of those who pursue it. there are
many places where an experienced
bee keeper can make a good living
by devoting his entire time and at
tention to this line of work.
The average annual yield per COL
ony from the entire country should be
from 25 to 80 pounds of comb honey
or 40 to 80 pounds of extracted hon
ey. The money return to be obtained
from this crop depends entirely upon
! the market and the methods of selling
the honey. If sold directly to the
consumer ll'll'N DTllSS lIpll ~ 10 ~

SAMUEL GOMPERS SAYS SLAVERY IS AN

How to Treat Scalay Leg.

Scaly legs is a local condition caus-

cover the shanks Of a fowl. At times
there are only small patches of
roughness where these pests have
pushed apart the scales and thrown

leg may be incrusted with this dis
gusting mass to such an extent that
the shanks become twice the normal

months until the whole flock is more
or less affected. This condition be-
comes so deep seated in a flock that
is soon passed from the setting hen
to her brood. and so it goes.
Scaly leg is not hard to handle if
steps are taken against it soon
enough. It moves SO slowly and often
unobserved that before the poultry
owner is aware of its presence it has
fastened itself on the whole flock It
is a disease that should not be toler-

with little work will free the flock
