who hao NOT been of the Hill in
years, announced hat 10 considera-
ton Of fatigue would kc p him away
from the scene of action, and Yancy
loaned him his mule and cart for the
occasion. Yancy led tic struggling
procession, with the boy trotting by
his side, his little sunburned fist
clasped in the mans e cat hand.
The sQuire's court held its infre-
quent sittings in the EST room OF the
Balaam homestead. {; double cabin OF
hewn logs. Here Scratch Hill was

"What's all th1s here fuss between

squire when he had administered the

ment was brief and very much to tho
point.

squire sharply. With a smile, dam
aged, but clearly a smile, Blount pro-
duced the order. "Hmm-app'inted

presently heard to murmur. The
crowded room was very still now, and
more than one pair of eyes were
turned pityingly in Yanoy's direction.

there was real judge and a real

Squire Balaam removed his spec

Its the opinion OF this here cot
that the whole question OF assault
rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the
order. Bob Yancy swears he didn't
see 1t, while Dave Blount swears he
showed 1t to him. If Bob Yancy didn't

was clearly actin on the idea that

For Forty Years a Hermit.

Isaac Sheath. who has just died in
the workhouse at the age Of seventy
eight. lived the life OF hermit for
nearly forty years at Newport. Isle
of Wight. He occupied mud-hut
which he erected on piece OF waste
land in the village of Chale. but the
hut became SO dilapidated that the
rural district council ordered its de-
struction. Sheath was greatly exas-
perated by the councils interference.
and before he left for the workhouse
he burned the hut to the ground. Mice
and birds had grown SO accustomed to
the old man and his lonely ways thai
they used to come and feed from hii

CEMENT TANKS
TO DIP SWINE
Directions Given for Construction
Of Basin Found Entirely
Satisfactory by
IIItnoisan.
BY w. H. UNDERWORLD

Last spring / made a cement dip
ping tank for my hogs which has
proven very satisfactory, and will give
the instructions for making same so
that If anyone desires to do SO he can
make one for himself.
dug hole IL feet long on top. s
feet long on the bottom, straight at
one end and sloping across the 6 feet
at the other, 26 inches wide at the
bottom, 32 inches at the top and Az
feet deep.
| then made a wooden frame of
boards 6 inches smaller every way
than the bole and filled in the space
all aroun6 with cement using three
parts sand to one part cement.
After 1t had set "a hours, / took out
the wooden frame. l made wooden
cleat steps at the sloping end for the
hogs to walk out on. My hogs were
covered with lice lest spring and l
had tried all remedies heard of to get
rid Of them. dipped the hogs at in
tervals of about month and noted a
marked change in their condition as
to skin and health.
A neighbor of mine has a dipping
tank somewhat similar to mine. He
dug hole feet wide at the top and
8 feet long; and at the bottom 18
inches wide and feet long, making
the hole feet deep, straight up and
down at one end with a gradual in
cline for the hogs to walk out at the
other.
Then he took cement, mixing 1t in
proportion of one part OF cement to
four parts sand. and plastered this
over like cistern, plastering the ce-
ment directly on the dirt. After this
coating of cement had thoroughly set
he washed the inside with pure ce-
ment to make 1t absolutely tight.
Whether 1t Is safe to plaster the
cement directly on the dirt, as done
by my neighbor, depends on the char
acter Of the soil. Ordinarily / think
my plan the better; that is. to build
the frame six inches smaller than the
hole and fill in the space all around
with cement
1t will pay every farmer who raises
hogs to have a dipping tank of some
sort and dip his hogs at least once a
month, without regard as to whether
they are troubled with lice or not 1t
will keep their skin in fine condition
and contribute materially to their
health.
Pigs can be dipped at any age,
lambs as well. The larger tank de-
scribed above will answer for both
sheep and lambs.

STARVED CALVES
ARE EXPENSIVE
Many Young Animate Kept An
Filthy Pens With Ration
Entirely UnHtted
for Growth.

Are beef breeds Of cattle more pre-
potent than dairy breeds? This ques-
tion has come to me after examining
many animals. On the range, at least
80 per cent of the beef type from
good sires are good feeding stockers.
In swine and sheep the percentage
of good animals is equally large. Here
the exception is usually found in ami
mails whose growth has been retarded
by some unfortunate condition. gen.
orally lack of food.
On the range the "dogie" or moth
erless calf is ill-shaped and never
makes a profitable feeder. The pee
wee" lamb may be simply late lamb.
but in most cases Is one whose body
was shrunken and set" by lack of
food. Many a pee wee derives its
bird name from short feed and long
drives around forest reserve.
My observation has been, says a
writer in the Farm and Home, that
-ghore robber COW is found, 1t is safe
to assume there has been a robbed
calf Many are the vicissitudes of the
average skim-milk calf. Every case
of scours is simply Indigestion. or in
other words, training Of the stomach
and digestive organs to fail to assimi-
late food That pail of cold or soured
germ-laden milk that was refused for
time until hunger made It desirable
is training the stomach still further
along the same line that made pee
wees and dogies.
Many little calves are prisoners. in
dark pens, with filthy bedding. and
with ration untitled to their growth
and ability to properly digest food.
The calf. improperly raised. comes
back TO its owner as the robber COW,
and we blame the COW rather than
ourselves, which is much more human
than humane. and more Of a solace
than Of financial gain.

frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around tho
