PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle Over Them
Just as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book of that day:
THE swallow once invited the snail
to dinner. He lived just one league
three English miles) from the spot,
and the snail travelled at the rate of
only one inch a day. How long
would it be before he dined?"
"An old man met a child. Good
day, my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and if God gives you one year
in addition to the others, you will be
q century old!' What was that boys

BUILDING CHEAP HOG HOUSE
Convenient Structure for Animals May
Be Placed in Side of Hill With
out Much Expense.
(By W. D. NEALE. Missouri)

(By W. D. NEALE Missouri)
A very convenient hog house may
be constructed in the side of a hill
without much expense.
If the hill slopes to the south so
much the better. An excavation can
be made in the side of the hill the
desired size of the house. The dirt
may be thrown out SO as to form an
embankment to the north, east and
west.
Posts can be set in the ground and
two by four pieces nailed on them
upon which boards for the covering
may rest. The roof should slant to
the north, so that the sun may shine
under as far as possible
Good ventilation must be provided
at the top and draughts shut out.
This will be an excellent place for
brood sows to farrow in, for they will
be protected from the weather.

lady, rather short, of not uncertain
weight, and possessed Of a twinkling

This" said the lady of the sparkling

And yet, somehow, the conductor
did not have any great amount Of diff
ficulty in securing her ticket But he
looked hurt.
Sorry, lady," he said by way of
apology.
The car rounded a curve and the
huddled mass of humanity was too
busy trying to keep its equilibrium to

been Strengthened out and twisted
his coat sleeve and the leather sheath
(Which is fitted to the handless arm
and to which the hook is fiXed) were
torn to ribbons, and the stump Of the
arm itself was severely damaged. He
was otherwise uninjured. but the arm

MUCH PROFIT IN LIVESTOCK
More Money in Raising Animals
Than 10y Planting Legume Crops
Humus Is Retained.
Nv W. SCOTT HICKOXN

The man who plants legumes solely
to turn under will, in the majority Of
cases, get tired Of it after a few years
because Of the cost in seed, labor and
rent Of land He who grows legumes
and sells the tops for hay is pumping
the mineral elements out Of his land
in most reckless manner and there
will come time of reckoning after
a while. The writer is proud of the
fact that he belongs to the class of
men who plant legumes, make hay Of
the top, extract the food values by
passing the hay through first-class
farm animals, returning more than
three-fourths of the material value
and practically all the humus back to
the soil, and during the progress Of
the game trapping enough nitrogen
from the air to far more than balance
the small amount Of PHOSPHORUS and
potash the young animals sold remove
from the farm. This, my friends, is
sane farming, proven such in many
lands and under various conditions.

Soldiers Friend" are titles which

conferred upon her by grateful coun-

her. Before that, in 1907, she received
from King Edward the English Order
Of Merit, the most exclusive distinc-

has ever received that honor.

Mr. Lawson, who is an ardent adj
mirer of the horse, says that horses
are more desirable today than they
ever were, and that because Of the
fact that so many dealers in fancy
stock have been driven out of bust
ness have practically cornered the
market for good horses and are sell
ing them at prices which are almost
fabulous. 1t is said that at Dream
void Thomas W. LaWsOn's stock Of
fine horses is as large as ever. He
uses his automobiles for long trips,
but his horses for pleasure. 1t is init
mated that he will have a stable of
show horses at the National next fall.
There is nothing, to my mind, that
can take the place of a well-bred
horse" said Arnold Lawson. Il do not
know of any thing that affords more
pleasure than handling the reins over
housekeeping, spirited, blooded

there is a corner in the supply they
are certainly very hard to obtain, and

Horse dealers all over the world
have been gathering up the finest
horses to meet the reaction that they
have seen was bound to come. TIE
supply has been greatly diminished, OF
course, because of the small demand
of recent years for riding and driving
horses. This has made fancy prices
possible"

GOOD HORSES ARE IN FAVOR

"The horse was never in higher IA

fine horses were common and prices
