THE BEST RATION FOR HOGS
Experiments by College of Agri-
culture Prove Mixed Diet Su-
peri0r to Corn Alone.

In a recent bulletin the College of
Agriculture of Missouri has publish
ed the results of number of swine
feeding experiments, by E. B. For
bes.
These experiments prove that corn
good corn-is a good feed for any
animal and that there is no reason for
Withholding it from any animal need
ing food. AT the same time, ii is
shown that corn alone is not nearly
so good or so profitable feed as
corn supplemented by some proteid
food such as tankage, linseed oilmeal
or soy beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby
and does not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used in this
experiment, and they were divided
into lots of five each. Two different
rations were used with corn alone in
two of them and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed
oilmeal and those fed on corn and
tankage gained the most; those re-
ceiving corn alone were most unsat-
isfactory.

Psychology of Marriage" He said
he had studied psychology to some
extent and had been married eleven
years and so felt qualified, He be-
lieved in early marriages and advised
his hearers not only TO get wives as
speedily as possible, but to praise
their hats when they did so, that wo-
mans aesthetic sense might not be
Uipppdd IN the bud.
The audience took an intense inter-
est in the subject, and its questions
covered all phases. One man want
ed to know if man couldn't love
woman who had money,
"If you marry for money you'll
know it all the rest of your life, "
Doctor Fisher answered.
Doctor Fisher had small use for the
hen-pecked husband. A man was
hen-pecked not because he had a
masculine wife, but because he lack
ed the essentially masculine good
qualities that woman looked for in
a man and a husband. Doctor Fish
err did not believe in l00-yard dashes
and running high jumps for women,
the exercises upon which men had
waxed strong, but they simply made
a woman masculine.

WOOdpecker Acts as Alarm Clock
From the New York World.

A novel alarm clock is the unprized
possession of the Rev. DR.. George A.
PAUL, pastor of the Upper Montclair,
N. j., Presbyterian Church. He has
to crawl unwillingly from bed at the
call of a woodpecker.
The clergyman was awakened one
morning recently by hammering on
the roof of his home. He found that
the noise. was caused by woodpeck-
err knocking on the sheet iron cover
ing on the top of the chimney. Doc
tor PAUL frightened the bird away
and went back to bed, but the noise
was renewed. The clergyman gath
cred papers and built a fire, the
smoke of which effectually checked
the bird for time.
Next morning, however, Mr..
Woodpecker was there again, trying
to drill hole through the sheet iron
cover. The clergyman again burned
paper. After several mornings OF
this work, Doctor PAUL took to put
ting papers in the fire place before
he went to bed, so as to be ready on
the instant for his visitor in the
morning.
The bird now calls regularly at
$50 o'clock and compels the pastor
to rise in order to start the smoke
that will shut off the tapping alarm.

 But alas. there was wicked little goblin peeping through from the bough of peach tree. and, though he had not heard about or seen the boomerang, he had caught all regarding the magic opal and had seen Billy place 1t un- der his tongue. So when the little black boy had bidden goodby, thank ing the fairies for his Christmas feast, and started home again he was war laid in the bush by the evil goL....a
 who had followed him out of the gar den to rob him. Billy refused to give up his stone and cried for help, but the goblin knocked him down and beai him till he lost consciousness. Then the wicked creature forced open his mouth. stole the magic opal and ran away with 1t as fast as he could When poor Billy recovered he soon noticed thnt the opal was gone and guessed who had taken 1t. but he was in despair of ever finding it again. so. sitting miserably on the ground. he opened his mouth wide and cried long and loud. But this he soon realized was silly. useless thing to do Just then he spied his boomerang, which he had quite forgotten. on the ground nearby. and, remembering what the blue fairy had told him. he picked it up. and. jumping to his feet. he threw 1t skillfully high into the air.
 Away 1t swung without touching the trees. and, sure enough. as the goblin. a couple of miles otf, was just admir- ing his plunder. the boomerang lifted 1t out of his hand before his very eyes and carried 1t back to the feet of its rightful owner. Billy shouted for joy. and. putting it once more in his mouth. he took his wonderful toy under his arm and sped down the hill.

 E AIRY STORY.
ey ALIEN ORR.

THERE was once upon a time
 little black boy called Billy
 He had lived all his short life ii black camp with his parents and number of other aborigines of the tribe. Billy had never been very kindly treated. and as he had soft heart himself he sometimes felt it very much.
 Now, one Christmas time. being left alone as usual. with no presents of think of all the stories he had been told about the white children's Christmas and determined then and there to find out what 1t was really like. He had heard of the Christmas hills in a coun- try many miles of and planned to go there. believing from their name that these must contain all the mysteries of Santa Claus and other joys from which he had always been isolated
 With a loving farewell to his own mia mia-the little shelter of branches which he had built for himself against the thunderstorms-he set of with only piece of opossum skin hung round hls waist for clothing and a boomerang h his hand.
 Billy journeyed for many hours over paddocks and wire fences, wading bravely through creeks. water holes and bracken undergrowth. where the sna1es were very numerous and poi sonous, till he found himself in beau tiful valley between blue and pur- ple mountain. Approaching vine yard, he asked an old gardener where the Christmas hills lay.
 'sXonder.' said the man, pointing straight in front of them toward the blue mountain. ''This is Yarra glen"
 The little black boy was very hot and thirsty, for the sun had been beat Ing nercely upon him all the way along, so he begged few of the round juicy grapes which hung in rich profu sion on the vines
 Ky al lheans" said the good na tured gardener as he picked him the largest bunch he could find.I ripe and invlting. with the bloom upon them Rlllv thsnked him. saying he hoped e0llm time to be able to return his Kindness. and. taking the fruit. he con tlnnesl his wny with a light heart.
 AS IL. climbed and climbed rising higher and higher, the glen grew small eriand smaller below him till he could not see the old man any more, Soon the hill became so steep and slipper, that he was forced to draw himself ul from tree to tree by holding first on to one branch and then another Blue gum and wattles rose high above him h lnon0tonous grandeur till he began tQ wonder where the Christmas trees

NOBILITY OF PURPOSE.

If either man or woman would realize the full power of personal beauty it must be by cherishing mo- ble thoughts and hopes and pur- poses, by having something to do and something to live for that is worthy of humanity and which by expending the capacities of the soul gives expansion and symmetry to the body which contains it.-Up- ham.

D HRiSTMAS is indeed the A holiday of humanity and
 by that token no less in- teresting than humanity itself. The r!..!i current II it's ubserv ance has to carry all the be- 7 quests of other ages-their ideals. their hopes. their recol- lections. the beliefs that had won the right to live. the gra- cious. joyous customs which had won the same right by helping or heartening men, as we'll as all that our age can contribute to it from the ma terial. artistic and spiritual side. The modern feeling has made place. as the feeling of each age is sure to do, for the mood of carnival as we'll as the mood of faith. It can weave into the fabric of the holiday time the little specta- cles of fireside felicity, the af- fectionate pledges of friends. the cheer of the loaded family board or banquet table. the taper lights and organ music of cathedrals, the offerings of music and the drama and all the noble product of the artist and the artisan. In sense Christendom takes inventory of itself at this time in each of it's thousand activities.
 One of the benefactions of the holiday is that it gives men the chance to do this and puts them in the mood to do it. It is the last and greatest truce of God" The pause 1t i'm poses is not 50 much on wars alarm. although the din of con- f1ict grows ever feebler the while the message of good will unto men" deepens into deed and custom, as 1t is on the absorptions and distrac- tions of an age so wrapped up in its pursuits that it hardly : has time to look about it At Christmastide men do look about them. That it's atmos- phere could make a bad man out ofta good one or a gener- ous man out of a selfish one is one of the paradoxes whereof perhaps we must look to the genial fiction of Dickens for complete verifc&ion. But 1t does make men kinder. more thoughtful. more serene. than their won't.
