Do Hogs Fill Their Teeth.

Do hogs have toothache, and
if 80 have they the ability to fill
their teeth? These are questions
being asked by the farmers
around Dalton, Ca, after a re-
markable discovery recently
made by Mr.. A. W. White, who
lives on r. F. D. No. 4, out from
that city. In cutting up the head
of hog he had killed, he saw
something bright shining in one
of the teeth. An examination
brought to light the fact that .
hollow tooth in the hogs head
had been filed with a lead slug,
the lead fitting the cavity tightly
and neatly. 1t had the appear
ance of having been put in by a
dentist of no mean ability. The
best part of the story is the fact
that Mr.. White kept the tooth to
show as evidence in backing up
his statements.
Now, everyone knows that
there is nothing worse than a
splitting toothache, and why
couldn't hog, which has about
as much leisure time as anything
In existence, have thought out a
plan whereby he could put an
end to such excrusiating suffer
ing.
Wr. Whites discovery has
caused considerable speculation
as to just how the tooth became
filed. While the enthusiastic
prefer to believe in the hogs
proves as dentist, the more
levelheaded ones have figured
that the bog, in roofing for food,
picked up a lead bullet, which
was forced into the hollow tooth
then the hog bit on it; and fol-
lowed by almost constant use,
the bullet was worn down even
with the tooth, forming the neat
filling found.

The Cause of Colds.

In cold weather, nearly every
one spends as much time as pos.
sible indoors in an over heated
room, with faulty ventilation.
This tends to weaken the skin
circulation and affects adversely
the resisting power of the mucous
surfaces of the air-passages,
which consequently fail to react
to changes Of temperature when
the person goes out of doors; tie
skin is chilled, and a large vol
ume of blood is forced back to
the internal organs, waste elimi-
nation through the skin is him
dered, and the result is what we
call "cold," and the discharge
of mucus waste oxidation, in the
form of nasal, bronchial or other
catarrhal disorder, is the dis
agreeable result. Overheated
rooms should be avoided, the heat
should come from within the
body, rather than from the fur
mace in the house, the limbs
should be kept well-clothed,
warm and dry, and the circula-
tion good by plenty of outdoor
exercise. Keep the house atmos-
phere clear of foul emanations
from the body, the skin clean,
and the temperature below rs
degrees.

Needless of Times Flight.

As every southerner knows,
elderly colored people rarely
kno" how old they are, and al
most invariably assume an age
much greater than belongs to
them. At an Atlanta family
there is employed an old chap
named Joshua Bolton who has
been with that family and the
previous generation for more
years than they can remember.
In view, therefore, of his advanc-
ed age, it was with surprise that
his employer received one day
al application for few days off
in order thatthe old fellow might,
as he put it, rgo up to de ole state
of Virginny's to see his aunt.
"Your aunt must be pretty
old, was the employers COM
ment. " :"

Great Black Eagle Caught.

A black eagle measuring about
seven feet from tip to tip was
caught in a steel trap by Arnet
Marshall on the farm of his
father, George Marshall, about
three miles north of Huntsville
on Jan. 27. The eagle was
caught by one of it's toes and was
captured without injury, and sold
to A. R. Dalton of that place,
who has it on exhibition, much
to the disgust of the king of
birds. He hurls himself against
the cage in fruitless attempt to
regain It's liberty. The eagle
has for some time been preying
upon lambs of farmers near
Huntsville, and was fired upon by
T. F. Perkins a few DAYS ago
while trying to capture a lamb.
Several years ago a golden eagle
was captured near there by Rich
ard Sheppard, and it is now in
Glendale Park at Nashville.
Later two very large black
eagles were killed by j. T. Vance
on Drurie's Knob, and it had
been supposed that they were ex.
terminated IN that section.
About twenty lambs had been
killed by the eagle before being
captured. 1t cut their throats
and devoured the heads, but not
the bodies.

Be Kind in Little Things.

The sunshine of life is made
up of very little beams that are
bright all the time. In the nur-
sery, on the playground and in
the schoolroom, there is room all
the time for little acts of kind
ness, that cost nothing but are
worth more than gold and silver.
To give up something when Civ
ing up will prevent unhappiness /;
to yield when persisting will
chafe and fret others; to 60 a lit
tie way around rather than come
against another; to take an Ill
word or a cross look rather than
to resent it; these are the ways
in which clouds and storms are
kept off and pleasant, smiling
sunshine secured even in q hum
BILE home, among very poor peo-
pie, as we'll as in families in
higher station. Much that we
term the miseries of life would
be avoided by adopting this rule
of conduct.

Miners Bonus SJ,sOO,OOO.

The sliding scale established
by the strike commission, which
was appointed by the President
of the United States to settle the
strike of 1902, brought the an
thracite mine workers about 49,
900, 900 in the year 1910.
The average monthly bonus in
1910. was four per cent. The
shipments of anthracite in the
year amounted to "a, 905, 1856 tons.
As the labor cost of ton is
about 81 so, the average four per
cent. increase in wages made the
years total increase from the
operation of the sliding scale"
about 100000.

Low Infant Death Rate.

Lady Stout, wife Of Sir Robert
Stout, chief justice of New Zea-
land, SAYS that the infant death
rate is lower in her country than
in any other place in the world
except Victoria. According to
her statistics ola babies die be-
fore they are one year out of
every 1000 born in Hungary; in
Germany, 100; in France, 149;
in England and Wales, TIA, in
Scotland, 1875; in New Zealand,
n; in Victoria, 70, Lady Stout
also says that before the grant.
ing of equal franchise to women
of New Zealand and Victoria the
birth rate was very low. For the
first few years after the decline
continued, then the birth rate
took an upward turn, which has
continued ever since until now
it is higher than that of England
and Wales. These are, in Lady
Stout's opinion two strong argu-
ments in favor of equal franch-
ise.

Make your life a blessing to

To keep clothes from freezing

Washing lamp chimneys by
immersing them in water often
makes them brittle. A safer
way to clean them is to hold
them for a few minutes over
steaming Kettle. Then polish'
them briskly with soft cloth.
One of the rewards of wide
reading is the broadened outlook
it gives one of life. The we'll
told experiences of others seem
to become a part Of your own
and hardly distinguishable from
them in the memory.
A small square of blanket
folded over and sewed up, leav-

1t seems as if almost anybody
could bake an apple SO that it

a way that is extra good: With
a narrow-bladed knife take out

set the apple into the oven in a
dish that will hold water and
keep plenty of water around it
until it is soft, and it will be fit
for anybody to eat, farmer or

Raw potatoes are better frying

puffs them. Season, and turn
over them another frying pan.
Lift it often and turn the bottom

take off the covering pan and
let them brown.-Farm journal.

Questions of Etiquette.

1t is no longer considered cor
rect to wait until all are served
before beginning tire meal; when
two or three are served, they may
begin slowly to taste the foods,
buttering the bread, etc, using
no undue haste, however.
The small dishes holding the
radishes, tiny sour pickles aud
sailed nuts are arranged about
the centerpiece, the spoons or
forks beside them.
When meeting, a man never
offers mis- hand first to the lady,
if the acquaintance is out slight,
unless he is her host, but should
wait for her initiative. Among
friends, one does not wait for the
other; the action is often stimuli
taneous.
When making calls upon re-
ception day, if meeting an &C
quaintance nearer the entrance,
one may bow and smile; but
should not shake hands or enter
into conversation until the hos
tess has been spoken to and her
welcome received.

GumptiOn on the Farm.

order now; and get the white
wash brush ready to flop.
Sow clover seed twice to be
sure it will take, and don't for
get the alsike along with the red.
1t is too late when the stack
has tumbled and smothered your
best COW to regret not having
fenced it off.
Get any extra plow-poiuts or
other fixtures you may need, be-
fore you may need, before you
get out the pillow for the spring
work.
Never run for an Office; better
to so comport yourself and so
conduct your affairs that your
neighbors will set the office run
ming after you.
If you have any iron or other
metal roofs take comfortable
spell and paint them. Get all
such jobs out of the way before
something else begins to crowd
you.
The proposal to confne parcels
post to rural routes, if made into
law, will work in the interest Of
the express companies and not of
the rural population. 1t is fool
ishness.
Are patches in the yard bare
of grass? After the first tLaw
sprinkle some Kentucky blue
grass on them and rake in when
ground gets dry enough. A lit
tie white clover, too.
Are you really in the harness
for business now? Many folks
are. Buckle the straps good,
tuck in the ends and let the
other fellow do the kicking.
Keep your own legs inside the
traces and pull true all the time.
Frost, and digging cost holes,
do not 60 together very we'll but
as soon as the earth does soften
up, you will have the very best
time of all the year to get ready
for the fence. 1t isn't nearly
such hard work then as it is later
when the earth is as dry and
hard as q bone.
To renew worn meadow with.
out blowing it, give it a thorough
narrowing, so that the carpet of
sod is we'll torn to bits, then top
dress heavily. sow grass seed, and
harrow and brush smooth. This
is especially true of land that is
shallow and stony and hard to
pillow, land that is full of knobs
and hollows. The process levels
and improves such surfaces.
1t pays to go down to the city
and work up trade for the farm
produce. Hunt up customers for
the butter, eggs, apples, potatoes,
| cabbage and all such stuff. Have
a regular market day when you
can always be found there. Folks
will expect you and depend on
you. They will pay you cash and
as good prices as they would have
to pay at the store, because they
get better weight and measure
and fresher produce.
For water-pipe burst by the
frost: Get at a drug store, or
from your doctor, plaster band
age two inches wide. Hold it in
a bowl of water till the bubbles
stop rising. Then at once wrap
it around and around the broken
pipe, smoothing with the hands
as you go. Thus you will make
a splint similar in shape to the
wiped joint which the plumbers
make. 1t will last long and will
not leak. .
We see no logical reason-do

should put all his money in the
bank and let the repair of farm
buildings, fences, etc., be neg,
