By W. H. UNDERWOOD
In raising pigs there are several
things, very essential, which are diff
cult to secure in the right degree in
the winter time, and which sometimes
make the winter litter rather costly.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
and they must have it for their eco
nomical growth. This has been fully
demonstrated by the experiment sta
tons In the different fattening trials.
The cost Of the grain in several in
stances was almost double with out
side feeding as compared with a warm
shelter, all other things being as near
ly equal as was possible.
Warmth is even more of a neces-
sity to the sucking pig, and to OBJ
tain that warmth and give the little
fellow sufficient amount of exercise
is where the difficulty comes in.
1t Is an easy matter to make the
bed warm enough, but as soon as the
pig leaves the nest for exercise out in
the open, it becomes chilly and soon
returns to the warm bed. Not taking
exercise sufficient to keep it from be-
coming too fat, thumps follow and
death ensues. An abundance of exer-
else is necessary to avoid the thumps
in young pigs when they are getting
all the milk and other foods they can
eat.
In raising winter pigs there are
siY rea1Iv very tmnOrtant things tn ne
taken into consideration: Warmth,
exercise, good feed, ventilated quar-
tiers, sunshine and good blood.
In order to have these a warm and
quite roomy building, which will make
ventilation easier and allow the pigs
to play without going out in the open
Is necessary. When the weather is

of the woodlot to lie idle, as any other
portion of the farm.
The increase of the more valuable
trees should be encouraged, such as
the oak, pine, hickory and ash. Some
trees are Of no value, save as stove
wood, and are poor, even at that.
Yet, strange enough, at the start they
are the most vigorous, and always sue
coed at making the most rapid growth
at the start; thus holding their own at
the expense Of their competitors.
There are weeds among trees, as we'll
as among plants.
Forest tracts are indispensable to
the welfare and best interests of the
community. We cannot we'll do with
out them, because Of their salubrious
influence upon the climate, their con-
servation of the supply of moisture,
and their value for purifying the at
mosphere, to say nothing, of their COM
mercial value.
We must look to the farmer for
the presence of the necessary amount
of forest trees. Upon them will fall
the burden of bearing this RESPONSE
bility.
But that they will profit largely
therefrom is we'll illustrated by the
fact that the artificial timber tracts
which already exist in what was for
merly the great, bare, wind-swept
western plains, are already of meal
culable value.
Systematic planting and cultivation
of forest trees IS branch of agricul-
ture yet in it's infancy, but one which
will prove exceedingly important be-
fore the history of this country shall
have been written.

BOY COULD NOT HARM MICH
Man Learns Why Little Pest Contin
ued so Plentiful After Servant
Had Trapped Many.

A gentleman who lived in India had
such lot of mice running about his
house that he told his native boy
servant to buy six traps to catch the
mice.
The boy did as he was told, and
next morning he gleefully showed to
his master a mouse in each trap.
The traps were set again, and an
other six mice were caught. The mas
ter told the boy to go on setting the
traps and catching the mice, but after
several weeks had gone by and the
mice we're just as plentiful as ever in
the house. he called the boy to him
and asked. How many mice have you
caught?"
More than fifty" said the boy.
What do you do with them?" then
asked the master.
"I let them out again!" said the boy.
why, you should have killed
them!" said the master, laughingly.
mo, never kill anything" said the
native boy very solemnly.
He had been taught never to kill
any creature whatever, so no wonder
the mice got no fewer!

TINY BOYS TO BE SCULPTORS
Victor Salvatore to Open Glass In
Modelling at Home Garden Set
Element, New York.

Victor Salvatore, the sculptor, will
open class in modelling at the Home
Garden Settlement, 405 East 116th
street, New York Eight children who
have shown artistic promise have
been chosen out of the two or three
thousand who attend this settlement.
None of them will be over IL, and
three boys are only and have so far
confined their efforts to the sand pile
This class is to be weeded out con-
stantly and added to, so that the small
Italians may have chance to display
any talent and have the benefit of an
early start. Mrs. Guinness and Jo-
seph B. Thompson Jr., who knew Mr..
Salvatore at Newport, are the finan-
cial hackers in the experiment.
THE old fellows began young" said
Mr.. Salvatore, as he worked in his
studio in McDougal alley, some of
them were only 6 when they started,
MY idea IS that when these boys are
90 they will have a good foundation.
When they are IA they ought to be
able to work as helpers in studio.
1t is the idea of the grammar school
and then the college. They must be
prepared. When they know the tech
nical side thoroughly they can create
better things.
The room in the settlement will be
just like a studio. Each one will have
mis- own table and clay. l want them
to learn to make good skeletons for
their work, to put up clay and cut
marble. too. Nowadays people start
too late to be sculptors and they let
the mechanical side of the art go.
Il shall be able to give only one
evening to the class, but one of the
college boys is to be there every even
ing to help them. There will be no
school discipline, but when they see
an older boy behaving I think they
will do so too. l did not mean to take
any girls, but two Of them have
shown so much promise that have
decided 10 try them out

RAISING FUEL
FOR HOUSEHOLD
Systematic Planting and Cu1ttva
ton of Forest Trees Is Branch
of Agriculture Yet In
Infancy.

CBy r. B. BUCKHAM, Salem, Mass)
A very small acreage Of woodland,
II properly handled, can be made to
yield the necessary fuel for the house
hold, from year to year, and yet main
tain an average growth, or even in
crease in value.
The tree growth of the woodlot
should be encouraged in every possible
way. All dead wood should be con-
scientiously removed and added to the
woodpile. 1t will serve we'll as excel
lent kindling, at least, and does away
with one of the chief sources Of dis
ease among growing wood. 1t has
been proven that a very large per-
centage of all the ailments of forest
trees arises from the decaying dead
wood lying about them.
Thinning correctly is a second re-
quisite to making the woodlot most
profitable. Where the standing growth
is too close, all are compelled to suf-
fer for the lack of air and light
Hence some can well be removed, to
the benefit of the remainder.
Where an area of any dimensions
has been laid bare, it should be re-
seeded Immediately. If the second
growth does not start satisfactorily.
1t Is as poor economy to allow parts

GREAT AID TO PENMANSHIP
New Jersey Man Invents Apparatus
That Makes Bad Writing Al
most an ImpossibiIity.

There is no further excuse for bad
penmanship. A New Jersey man has
invented an apparatus which makes
really bad writing an impossibility.
The first principle taught by writing
instructors is to hold the pen or pen
I'll firmly in the proper position and
write with movement of the fore
arm, keeping hand, wrist and fingers
still. When this knack is acquired
The battle for legible chirography is
won. The device here shown virtu-
ally forces this movement. A wire

of the forearm to a point at the low

around the wrist Another branch of
the support extends to the base of
the thumb and three rings hold the

and invigorator known.
Some years ago l had couple on
filters come early in the winter. The
weather was very cold and for Want
OF a better place to keep them than
the one in which they were farrowed,
l penned up a little corner Of the cow
stable in which were kept at nignp
80 head of cattle. The building was
35 by so feet, and when closed at
night with the cattle in 1t was quite
comfortable. This proved to be al
most an ideal place for the pigs.
They were given fresh bedding
every night and fresh supply of bed
ding put in every day. Those pigs
grew exceedingly fast.
Under ordinary farm conditions 1t Is
a doubtful proposition to attempt TO
raise many winter pigs with good re-
suits, but under special conditions q
few filters may be made profitable
The greatest obstacle is to provide
enough warm space for the pigs to run
about freely without becoming chilled
for lack Of sufficient sunshine.
Scours and thumps often cause very
serious losses among young pigs. The
former is caused usually by over-feed-
ing, by providing badly spoiled feed,
by an abrupt change of ration or by
a change in feed that affects the milk
of the dam. The latter is generally
brought about by overlooking and
lack Of exercise.

A QUIET DAY.

A QUIET DAY.
When mother has a quiet day
And all the house Is still,
She listens anxiously and fears
That Johnny must be Ill.
When there's no tramping overhead,
No boyish laugh or shout,
Assured that Johnny is not i'll,
She knows he must be out.
But If the silence deeper grows,
With muffled step she'll creep
And look within the darkened room,
Where Johnny lies asleep.
I rather think, If truth were told,
She loves those days the best.
When Johnny's ceaseless, noisy play
Gives no one any rest.
A quiet day will only come,
OF this she has no doubt,
When romping. tumbling Johnny Is
Asleep, or i'll, or out.

c. d'A. College Notes

The Lyceum committee of Occur
d'Alene college is now ready to offer
to the citizens OF Occur d'Alene, as
well as to the students, the second
great attraction OF the excellent lee
ture course given at the college dur
Ing the spring term. The committee
has this time secured the efficient
services of the Honorable Mr.. William
A. Monten Of Spokane, the Swedish
consular agent of eastern Washing

siderable time and has a thorough
and comprehensive knowledge of the
governmental machinery of this
country and of its international re-
lations and affairs. He is further
more, one Of the most able and ex-
pert attorneys Of Spokane, having
had wide practice in this profess
sion. As a speaker Mr.. Monten has
already established a wide and per-
manent reputation throughout the
northwest. Wherever he has appear
ed he has given satisfactory evidences
of the fact that he is wide awake
man. that he Is a thorough scholar
of the present demands Of the COM
mercial world, and that he takes a
keen and lively interest and has a
broad and practical view of the pro
gressive movement of the day.

they have secured very strong
number in presenting Mr.. Monten as
speaker and that they are giving
the citizens of Occur d'Alene an OPP
portunity to hear something very
instructive. For, while this lecture
course is primarily for the students,
the college invites all interested to
hear something good, free of charge.
Good music will also be one of the
features of the evening.
Mr.. Monten will arrive in the city
early in the afternoon and will thus

DANGER OF POISONING

burbank Says There Is No Way 70
Distinguish From TOadstOOls.
Luther Burbank. the so-called
wizard OF horticulture. has recently
announced that there Is no way
known to science to distinguish the
poisonous toadstool from the edible
mushroom. Because OF this Turk
ing danger, though fond of mush-
rooms. the Santa Rosa Sage win not
eat them, dried or canned, fresh
placked. or In any conceivable form.
We are often told that the silver
test is good, that this and that sign
are infallible-but Burbank, who
knows the language OF flowers and
growing things-tells us that the
ways of the m shrOom are past and
Ing out.
Now II Burbank can not by search
Ing find out the freaks OF nature In
the realm of toadstools and mush-
rooms, It would seem that the rest
Of the world might well AFFORD 10 bar
the mushroom from the list OF
edibles.

could see whether grazing matters

maintenance" or products. or
what not.
But now the artist who should at
tempt to reconstruct the thing would
have to break the symmetry of It's
branches and the tout ensemble
would resemble nothing so much as
Christmas tree after two months
In the back yard.
No sooner had Pinchot been dis
missed by presidential order than
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson took
up hds official axe and began chop
ping on the branches on this tree
pruning down the army of various
officials.
First, he Topped of that magnifi-
cent branch which Joined the main
trunk near the top and was labelled

which tapered down to the label

Then, the browning glory of the tree
that fat branch, educational Divis-
iOn"-it was also called Division of
Information, and ought to have
been dubbed Press Bureau was
sacrificed. There may be more chop
ping in the future.
Secretary Wilson has so circum-
scribed the duties of the forest SER
vice that all there is left to do is to
grow trees, and water those already
growing. Henry Scion Graves, Pin
chot's successor, has already an
nounced that this Is his slogan. He's
decided to let the family tree or the
service worry along without any at
tention, and to let time heal It's
grievous cuts.
The chief forester doesn't pose as
an organizer. Pinchot was. There
is no higher compliment to his ener-
giles than the present Capitalization
Of affairs In the forest service, the
outgrowth Of his ideas, the work OF
his bradn. Graves is a tree-grower
pure and slmple-and says SO him
SELF.
He has studied for years about
trees and he knows them. He is anx-
ious to grow trees, but is not apt to
go beyond that point, first because
he does not want to and second be-
cause Secretary Wilson wouldn't let
him II he did.
Graves studied forestry first in
the university at Munich, Germany.
He came away from there chuck full
Of tree lore and then wandered
around Switzerland, Germany and
Austria. When he came back to
the United States he found Clifford
Plnchot here-then the only "con-
sultlng forester In captivity in
America. Graves joined with PIN
ehot and the two hung out part
nership shingle.
The firm got just one client, the
Vanderbilt estate at Baltimore, N. c.
So wen did Graves do his part of the
work that when a man was needed
to tell the interior department about
trees he was chosen.
Then the Yale university discov.
cred in him the right man to fill
professorship in the new school that
the elder Pinchot had given 1t.
Graves accepted and he had been
there ever since, until his appoint
ment to the post of chief forester.
