Young pigs should not be fed
coarse, bulky feed, neither is coarse
grain, such as ground oats and bar
ley, good when the pig first begins
to eat. These coarse feeds irritate
the intestinal tract and may be re-
sponsible for producing what is gen.
orally known as thumps and conVul-
sions. The ideal food for young
pig is skim milk and shorts or mid
dlings. Food of this character
should be fed until the pig is at
least three months old Then again
the pig should have exercise. Many
pigs are ruined by being feed rich
feed without being given any eXer-
else. They are prone, under such
conditions, to develope rheumatic
arthiritis which is very serious
trouble. This, however, can be en-.
tirely eliminated through exercise.
Young growing hogs, in fact all hogs,
should be provided with clean, COM
Portable quarters during the winter
months, as hogs are very susceptible
to cold and suffer if not provided
with warm sleeping quarters.
Hogs should be finished for the
market at the earliest practicable
age. The younger the animal the low
er the cost Of production. A four
months old pig will make pound
gain with at least one-third less feed
than one year old hog. Economy
in production means growing the pig
in the open field during the summer
and finishing it for the market quick
ly in the fall in fattening period
not exceeding over about sixty days"

Aunt Martha Bradner laid down

MESSAGE FROM VENUS
a. ASTRONOMER CLAIMS TO
HAVE ACCOMPLISHED FEAT.
Head of Naval Observatory at Mare

habited by Intelligent
Beings.

San Francisco, Cal-Prof. Thomas
Jefferson See, the famous astronomer
who is now in charge of the United
States naval observatory at Mare
sland, has established communication
with the planet Venus, according to
Information obtained here. Further,
hat he has received a message from
Venus.
1t is claimed by Professor See that
lot only Is Venus inhabited but that
he inhabitants are of high order or
Intelligence, capable of reasoning ana

nunications from the earth and other
lstral bodies.

accepted with credence may be attest
I'd by his career. He Is o graduate

SS. After his graduation he matricu'
ated at the University Of Berlin,
where he received a doctor degree.
lie was for three years in charge of
he Yerkes observatory at the Uni
versity Of Chicago.
While in Germany Professor See
startled astronomers by his discovery
Of the so-called double stars" After
leaving Germany Professor See en-
cred the service of the United States,
becoming attached to the naval OBJ
servatory service. He now holds the
highest rank In that service, bearing
The title of captain.
Professor See says that he now
feels quite certain that he has estab-
Iished his remarkable theory showing
the evolution of the stellar system,
which, If true, as Professor See be-
lieves, knocks into cooked hat near
Iy all of the reasoning on cosmical
evolution that has been accepted since
the time Of LaPlace. Professor See
claims this theory has been vitiated
by false premise to the effect that
the planet had been detached from
the sun by acceleration of rotation,
when the matter of this globe was
OIL n fnf 10
ing their orbits, and rotating under
conditions of hydrostatic pressure and
that the satellites have been detached
from the planets in the same way.
All this reasoning Professor See
claims, on the shedding of planets and
satellites under the supposed influence
OF the accelerated rotation of the rela
lively large central bodies which gov
ern their motion, is now invalidated.
He says 1t is also demonstrated II
more ways than one, but especially BY
means OF the important criterion pro
osed by Rabinet, in 1861, and here
tofore very generally overlooked, thai
the planet and satellites could nevel
have been detached by rotation witt
the existing momenta Of momentum
and must therefore have been captur
ed and built up in resisting medium

sentially devoid Of hydrostatic pres

In this way, and in this way only
can these small bodies have beer
formed, and their orbits reduced IL
size and transformed into such singu
lar circularity, according to Professor
See.
