THE PAsTtRING OF SWINE.
(By r. NJ. Washburn. Professor of Dairy
Husbandry)
There is probably no phase Of agri-
culture in which farm practices differ
more violently in the different sections OF |
the country, than in the matter Of swine |
culture
In the southwest the noss are turned |
loose and must forage over the hills |
and low lands for absolutely all that |
they get to eat living on pasture entire |
~, II being necessary over large sections |
OF the southwestern country to fence |
large fields against hogs as well as
against cattle. While the system OF
pasturing hogs has its weakness when |
carried to the extreme. It certainly also
has shown It's points of advantage
further north where the hogs are sys-
tematicaly pastured during their Younger
life. and made to build strong frames
and muscle and develop constitutions
upon the cheapest sort Of food stuffs
The pasture most common is still, prob
ably, blue grass, although It is not as
well adapted to such uses rs alfalfa or
clover. \ our hogs on an alfalfa pasture
need only water to enable them to make
good growth and that very economically.
Where this alfalfa pasture is not feasible,
oft times low swampy ground can he
utilized to excellent advantage, there
being quite a variety of weeds and
grasses which serve as food for these
animals.
In violent contrast 10 this Universal
pa sturing system of the southwest and
west VIC find the eastern and New Eng

II was trout fishing in the low
er part of the Pennsylvania hem
lock belt this season." said an
Orange county citizens, according to
story in the New York Sun, "and
seeing and hearing more rattle
snakes than was pleasant | asked a
native of the district if those
cheerful reptiles weren't more plen-
tiful than usual thereabout He
said they were, and told me why.
It's because the woods have
been cut away So said he. The
cutting away of the woods has made
the deer scarcer. Naturally the
thinning cut of the deer has taken
out Of the woods one of the great
est foes the rattler ever had. A
Dlacksnake hates rattlesnakes be-
xond everything, but it doesn't hate
them bit more than does the
ceer.
Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as
rersistently as a good dog will
aunt birds. When a deer once
gets its eye on a rattler that rat
tiers fate is sealed.
The deer waits until the snake
coils to strike. Then 1t raises on
its hind feet and strikes the snake
with the sharp hoofs of the fore
feet, killing it instantly. After kill
ing the snake if there doesn't seem
% be any OF it's kind at hand re-
qulr1ng the deer's attention, it will
cut the dead one to pieces with
its hoofs.
In the fall of the year, when
the snakes are returning to their
dens for the winter, and in the
spring, when they are coming out
again, deer visit the dens and kill
rattlers by the score as they pass
In or come out. In this way while
deer were plentiful in our region
they undoubtedly kept the rattle
snake population down by thou
sands every year. There are not
enough of the snake killing deer
left with us to hold the poison ped
ding reptiles in check
Old hunters used to say that

enough to get its work in on a

JUAREz Scene Of
PITCHED BATTLE
Big Strike Is Planned On Mexican
Railroads

Juarez, Mexico. July 24.-one man
dead, another fatally wounded and a
third shot in two places is the net re-
suit Of pitched battle in this city
at o'clock Sunday afternoon between
the city police and insurgent forces.
The beginning of the ARRAY was the
result of an argument between Da-
rillo Hernandez. an insurrecto, and
Dolorez Martinez, street commissioner
OF Juarez. in front of Martinez's resi-
dence. When Martinez requested
Hernandez to desist from his argu-
ment Hernandez opened fire upon him
with pistol. Martinez ran into his
residence, secured a rifle and ehot
Hernandez through the head, killing
him instantly.
Comrades of Hernandez at once
climbed to the roof Of the garrison
building nearby and opened hot fire
upon the Martinez residence, which
was returned by detachment Of po-
lice who had arrived upon the scene.
About fifty shots were fired before
General Blanco, who was summoned.
was able to quell the disorder.
Martinez was shot through the arm
and sustained a scalp wound in the
fray, and Pallo lionel. another in
surrecto solder, was shot through the
stomach and viii die. The town Is
quiet but there is much bitter feeling.
Big Strike Is Planned.
According TO Juarez railroad off,
cials, big strike Is planned, to cover
the entire National Railway lines Of
Mexico. and the present arrangement
Is that 1t will be inaugurated on
August 5.
The strike. II Is said, will be insti-
tuted by the brakemen and firemen,
and win be quickly followed by an
anti-American protest, as 1t Us claimed
that the engineers and conductors on
the system. who are principally
Americans. are being paid more than
the standard for such services In the
United States.
Strike conventions are TO be held at
various cities throughout the republic.
