INTERCOASTAL CANAL.

Now that the micronesia Canal
is practically assured, so far as
preliminary work is concerned,
the people of Louisiana have rea-
son to rejoice. To the steady,
earnest labor of Leon Locke. see
retary of the enterprise, unlimit-
ed praise is due. In his quiet, I'M
obstrusive way he has caused
many property owners to agree to
his proposals which could not
have been effected by more insist
ent methods.
The Galveston News devotes
considerable space to the discus
sion of the question and amonA
other things says:
Opening Of the intercoastal
water way is going forward in a
most pleasing manner. This be
ing followed by Improvements of
the rivers and estuaries of the va
rious bays so that the coast coun-
try between Galveston and the
mouth of the Rio Gr'ande. dis

bayou that. intersects the coastal
watessw2. will be made available
for water transportation ranging
from a few miles to hundred
miles inland. The advantages of
the Galveston market will be at
the doors of thousands of the peo-
pie and will make more valuable
the products of millions of acres
of the best farms in Texas"

Immediately upon my return to

The unsettled conditions in
Honduras naturally detracted

the new president was inaugu

tons. They were more interest

Government at that moment.
Nevertheless. Congressman Brous-
Sard gathered a vast amount OF
valuable data, which he will uti-
lie in furthering his cattle bill.
lie feels absolutely confident
that the success of this measure
will mean the establishment AT

TO THE PIG CLUB BOYS.

The boys pig clubs will soon
grow to be as important and as
successful. as the corn clubs have
been. if you make success of
your work this year. There are
now pig clubs in nine parishes,
with about $50 members. If that
many boys make success this
year, there will be $500 members
in 1912. But. boys, raising a
prize winning pig requires brain
and work. thought and study and
energy OF course. any one can
raise pig ON the principle Of
"root. hog. or die. But such
pigs do not win at a show. Here
are few points on raising your
pig.
/. 1t is better to underfeed
than overfeed the sow at farrow-
ing time. Feed her very little or
not at all for a day or two after
the little fellows come then grad
nally increase the feed for a
week or ten days. by which time
she can be put on full feed.
2. Keep the pigs out of dusty,
dirty lots.
3 Hogs cannot be raised cheap
ly or in the thriftiest condition
without green pasture crops. The
clovers. lespedeza, Bermuda grass,
garden stuff, peanuts, cowpeas
mot on certain alluvial lands),
soybeans. sweet potatoes-these
make good spring. summer and
fall pastures for hogs.
4. Feed the pigs enough tissue
forming food What pigs need
is the kind Of food that builds
lean meat organs. skin hair.
hoof and bone; not fat-producers.
Corn does not contain enough
flesh-forming protein. Corn is
good, but other feeds must also
be used that build up the body.
The clOvers, peas, peanuts, rice
polish are good to supplement the
corn ration. Cottonseed meal
must be used in small quantities.
and not more than two weeks at
a time. After a rest of one week,
they may again be feed the meal
for wo weeks.
S. Swill and kitchen slops gen.
orally are good for pigs. especial
|y if ground feeds are added to it.
Gold dust and other alkaline
powders should not be used in
slops fed to pigs.
6. Skim milk is an excellent
feed for pigs. 1t builds their
bodies and makes them thrifty.
Z. You cannot raise first
lass pig out of mud-hole. Give
lim clean water. Filthy water is
40 better for Ugs than it is for
boys.
8. Keep your pigs clean of lice
and give them shade, and they
will not eternally be looking for
he mud-wallow. To rid pigs of
ice, dip them in a solution con-
aiming / part of Kreso to 40 of
water. If you have no vat. wash
he pigs with the solution.
9. Watch out for hog cholera.
f this disease is in your neighpor-
1ood, keeps visitors out of your i
hog lot.
10. Keep worms out of your
,ogs. If you do not know how to
10 that. write to Prof. V. l.. Roy, |
Baton Rouge, La. and he will |
'end you a recipe for cheap but |
effective remedy.
II. Ring your hogs or clip the |
md Of the snout so they will not |
root too much. Then pasture
hem so they may get all the good |
feed they need without roofing.
12. Keep your pig in nice
growing condition all the time, |
md he will be a source of great |
to you and bring
you greater returns than would |
De possible otherwise. !

ANIMALS ARE LONELY

Atlanta, May 23.-The loneliness of
the single animals, of which there are
many, in the Grant Park Zoo, has be-
come a matter of serious concern and
apprehension to the president of the
park board, George F. Eubanks.
It's pitiful,' he said in all seri-

worse than his first; whereas the sa-
of the finest specimens in captivity, is
pining away, and may die. Veterina-
rians have examined him and find that
he has no disease, except that he is
unhappy. He just gnaws the wire fence
instead of chewing his cud and paws up
the dirt and bellows aloud in his Lone
someness. He managed to stand it for
while by making friends with sa-
cred Yak on the other side of the
fence until the board got a sacred COW

then the poor buffalo's last state was
worse than his first; whereas the sa-
cred Yak and the sacred COW are hap
| Ply as a pair of larks. They even hope
to have a little sacred calf to keep
them company in the lot some day.
The bear is another touching exam
pie. A great big, healthy fellow he
was in the winter, but this spring he IS
growing thin and there is a longing
look in his eyes that is positively
| full. The only solace he can find is to
wallow in his little pool OF water and
try to divert his mind with the people
who visit him.
But worst of all is the hyena. P
old fellow. It's shameful. He has
been fastened up in that cage so long
without a mate or companion that
he's got to be a plumb idiot. He hasn't
got a grain of sense. He laughs in
his unhappiest moments. Sometimes
he won't eat He will gallop around
and round in his cage and every once
in a while stop and throw back his
head and laugh that mirthless, blood
curdling laugh.
