The Scientific American gives some
illustrations to show that really great
scientists are not dry as dust old To-

Of which such men as Darwin, Tyn-

Hooker, Busk, Avebury, Spencer and
FARMLAND were members. 1t had no
rules, but skeletal minutes were kept:
Talked politics, scandal and the
three classes Of witnesses: Liars, -
liars and experts" .
The members used to have excur-

PROPER CARE OF
ALL YOUNG PIGS
Successful Hog Raiser Is Pres

Prevent Accidents.

Take care Of the young pigs. Give
them close attention from the time
they are farrowed until they are large
enough to take care of themselves.
Personal attention to ones pigs, says
T. r. ii. Wright. assistant in animal
husbandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college, is the most important essen
tiaI in successful hog raising.
The man who cares for and feeds the
SOW should be with the SOW at the
time Of farrowing. After farrowing
about one-half of the litter. the SOW
will very often get up, turn over and
kill about half the pigs already far
rowed. So She only safe way Is to be
In the shed and remove the young
pigs as fast as they are farrowed.
See that the pigs are dried properly
and put them In a covered box lined
with burlap. II the weather Is cold
nut a jug Of hot water or few hot
bricks in the center Of the box to keep
the pigs warm. The jug or bricks
should be wrapped to keep the young
pigs from being burned.

her a thin siop for the first two OF

II is very necessary that we recog-
nize hog cholera and swine plague In
the very early stages I'm order to pre-
vent them from spreading. In some
outbreaks the symptoms are not
typical and We cannot diagnose the
disease by the symptoms alone. In
such cases we should destroy a sick
hog and make a careful post-mortem
examination.
II the disease proves to be hog
cholera or swine plague. and It Is
practical under the conditions, the
herd should be divided into small
punches. The sick animals should be
separated from the well ones and all
possible precautions taken against
the spread Of the disease.
Do not move the hogs to different
parts OF the farm. nor scatter the dis
ease over the farm. II the yards and
hog houses are in such a condition
that they cannot be properly cleaned
and disinfected we should move the
herd TO some convenient place and
build temporary quarters.
When the weather is warm the only
protection needed is shade. In cold
weather IL Is necessary to provide
quarters warm enough to prevent the
hogs from piling up and catching cold.
Portable hog houses are very useful
for this purpose.
The yards, feeding floors. troughs
and hog houses must be kept clean.

TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Long Delayed Franee-EnsIIsh Project

Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century BY Matthew.
. French mining engineer. says the
Argonaut Fifty year, later the
scheme was financed, but II was not
until 1867 that II seemed that the
project would be actually attempted
At that time there were q dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The &C
cepted scheme was that Of . tunnel
bored beneath the bed Of the channel.
The estimated cost of the undertak-
ing was about $50. 100000. Prelimi-
nary boring had been made. when the
work was interrupted BY the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne
gotiations concerning the tunnel.
leaving the matter In the hands Of a
joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted In the fall
ure OF the enterprise In 1880. Now
the project is receiving some atten-
ton. a better feeling having been e.
tablished between the people Of the
two countries.

CONGRESS ON AGAIN
HOUSE AND SENATE CONVENE
FOR THREE MONTHS WORK
At WARRINGTON.
MONEY BILLS TO COME UP
Appropriation Measures Make Up the
Bulk Of the Program, to es
Little Constructive
Legislation.

Washington. Dec. 2.-The house and
senate both convened at noon today
for the final session of the sixty-sec-
ond congress. They will remain at
work for about two weeks and then
adjourn for the holidays. Returning to
Washington early in January. the law
makers will resume their labors,
which will come to an end March 4th
with the Inauguration of Mr.. Wilson
as president.
Appropriation bills will take up the
time OF congress almost exclusively.
and there is no expectation that any
amount Of constructive legislation
can be accomplished before the
advent Of the Democratic administra-
tion. The members must act upon
more than a dozen bills carrying total
appropriations Of over a billion dol
lars.
Two of the annual budgets are now
ready-the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill and the Dis
trict of Columbia bill These. pos
sibly. will be passed by the house and
sent over to the senate before the
Christmas adjournment. The naval
military, postoffice, Indian. fortifica-
tions, diplomatic. pensions and minor
budgets must be passed in January
and February.
II Is apparent to experienced men,
bers that such big questions as the
tariff. the trusts and the currency
problem cannot be tackled in the
days intervening between December 2
and March 4. Congress will be forced
to appropriate at the rate of about
$12,500,000 per day In order to meet
the running expenses of the United
States government during the fiscal
year of 1918. This immense task prac-
tically precludes all hope OF general
legislation and unusually fast work
will be required to dispose of the ap-
preparation measures on the eve OF
the incoming administration.
On the other hand the Democrats OF
the house. cognizant OF the fact that
their party win control the entire
governmental machinery after Presi.
dent Wilson is inducted into office,
are loath TO undertake general legisla'
tion during the short session, even II

Democrats figure that it is useless to
consider legislation which might meet
a stumbling block in a dying Repub
lican senate or at the White House.
II is anticipated that the house com
