Party of English Newspaper Men Try
It and Find 1t Very
Good

LOndOn.-A party of newspaper men
recently met at the rooms of the So
ciety Of Medical Officers of Health to
eat a poor mans dinner. 1t was. of
course, such a dinner as no poor man
ever eats, but that is because he does
not know how to lay his money. out
so as to get the best and most feeding
stuffs, neither does his wife know how
to cook them properly when bought.
These things they could learn from
the secretary of the society. a barris-
ter and an enthusiast on dietetics.
It was interesting to learn what can
be done by judicious buying at the
open air markets Of London, where the
food is probably cheaper and of bet
ter quality than in any other capital.
They started with some tasty soup
made from parts of fish usually
thrown away as useless by thriftless
cooks, each helping costing about
fourth of a cent to make. The for
eigners in Soho are well aware of
these economies. Then there were
admirable cent apiece herrings, had
dock and three meat courses, any one
Of which would have made q good
meal. There was roasc mutton from
Australia-nine cents a pound in the
open air market; flank of Australian
beef-a part commonly ignored by
English housewives, but good 10 eat
all the same; steak and kidney pie,
costing about six cents a portion: and

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
( began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights I could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn so dreadfully that Il
thought could not stand it. For near
Iy year I tried all kinds of salVes
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
"One day l saw an advertisement of
Cuticura Remedies. I got sample of

ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying

landmarks of New York Are
Fast Disappearing.
Norkmen Remove Ancient Dragons
Which Marked Historic Spot
Relics of Dutch Days Found in
Earth From Excavation.

New York.-At the foot of Broad
way wOrkmen have removed one Of
lower New York's few remaining land
marks of the last century, and those
who paused for a moment to watch
the work realized at last that the as
sault of the city authorities on build
ing line encroachments had known
neither sentiment nor favor.

reared themselves so long opposite
Bowling Green, on the spot where

vesant and the old Dutch burghers
and burgomasters used to sit and
smoke their evening pipes. and where
later stood the house where Bene-
dict Arnold had his headquarters be-
fore he turned traitor.
These dragons, clawing their. long
iron bodies around twin lamp posts,
spreading wings and tails toward the
crowd hurrying across Bowling Green,
are not by any means the only land
marks which have been thrown to
the scrap heap by the city's ruthless
order that the building line must be
preserved.
Further up Broadway. at the cor
ner of Exchange alley. men have al
ready torn away the only relic of
revolutionary days which had re-
NAMED downtown, save those in
Frances tavern. Now. in the back
room of store at So Broadway there
lies discarded and already forgotten
the cid black cannon which stood for
many years in front of the building
as a reminder to the preoccupied New
Workers that there actually had been
a war of independence.
Probably there would not be so
much reason to feel outraged at this
desecration were it not that a block
below, in front of the old Stevens
house, still crouch, safe from molesta-
ton, the two huge lions which once
adorned the British consulate. There
they are. large as life, iron eyes glar-

PROPER FEED FOR THE COLT
Something More Than Mere Filling is
Required by Young Animal
DON'T Use the Whip.
cBr MAY PEINTNER.)

A young and growing animal re-
Quires something more than mere

tissue-building, bIood-making food.
It is much easier and cheaper to
put two years growth on colt the
first year of its age than it is to
make up for a years loss of growth
In two or three years. A good growth
the first year of a colts life costs less
than at any other age and is twice
as valuable to the breeder-a fact
that is too often ignored. Spare the
feed and spoil the colt is surely true.
In training the colt do not use the
whip simply because you have it. 1t
is a very poor driver who makes a
blow the starting signal. See that
there is feed and water in abundance
and a clean, dry bed
Don't neglect the shoeing; it is
vital OF slippery roads or pavements;
nor the blanket in cold weather, when

every man is some kindness and

"H0GGING OFF" IS PRACTICAL
Profit to Owner Than TO Turn
Them Loose in Field.

There is no better way to fatten
hogs with profit to the owner. than
TO turn them loose in the coTnfeld
and let them pick the corn them
selves This is what is called hog
ging off corn"
It has been found in experiments
by the Minnesota Experiment station
and by practical farmers in all parts
Of the state, writes A. R. Wilson SUI
perintendent of the Minnesota Farm
ers' institute, that this method of
fattening hogs is a profitable one.
Every farmer who has tried it agrees
that it is an economical method of
fattening pork. The time required 10
husk and crib corn is saved. Not only
that. but the hogs get the corn when
1t is fresh and more reIished. No
wonder, then, the station found that
more pounds of pork could be made
from bushel of corn by "hogging
off, than by eating husked corn.
All that is necessary to make the
plan a feasible one is to obtain
enough fencing to inclose q small
area Of corn. 1t is not advisable
to give the hogs a large field to run
in at the outset. There viii be too
large a waste. Twenty pigs weighing
100 pounds each, or their equivalent.
should not be allowed to run on more
than an acre at a time. On the aver
age, an acre of corn should last three
pigs from two to three weeks.
Hogs may be confined in the field
as long as weather is suitable. They
should not be turned in until the corn
has ripened. Farmers should not
hesitate to try this method of pork
production, for 1t has been found en-
tirely practical.

SUITABLE SHELTER FOR HOGS
clement Weather in Fall and
Spring Is Important.

When the hogs are turned out to
pasture in the spring or fall they
need some kind of protection from
the weather, and a shed, such as is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, is very convenient, therefore
to have, says the American Guilt
vator. 1t can be made any size de-
sired, but if only about six feet wide,
five feet long and four feet high, it
can be more easily handled than if
larger.
1t is composed of one-inch roofing
boards spiked to 2x4 studding at the
combs and caves. with the back gable
boarded up and the front one left
with an opening as is indicated.
A shed like this is very nice to have

Runty pigs stand poor show at
the feeding trough with bunch Of
their husky brothers and sisters. AS
they are crowded out of place natur-
ally they do not get enough to eat to
keep them growing and they stay
runty.
A trough arranged with V-shaped
partitions set strongly in the trough,
would give the little fellows an equal
show with the big ones, and the
weaker ones could get their share of
food. A handy man can make such
trough arrangement in an hour or
so, and the even growth Of his pigs
would more than pay for his trouble.
