Functions for Pet Dogs.

Teas for poodles, which originated
among the smart set Of Palm Beach,
Florida, have apparently appealed to
other centers of fashion. A Baltimore
message states that Miss Georgiana
Williams, a society debutante, gave a
birthday tea In honor Of her pet
French poodle, Bunny. Miss Williams
younger sister and Miss Gertrude Par
dee assisted. The dogs of the smart
set had baths, and were powdered and
perfumed, and those who did not go
to the Williamses' home in automo-
biles made the journey afoot. A
tempting menu was served to the pets
on saucers. All the good doggies were
served by ladies.

Commission Hearing
Baggage Check Case

Atlanta. Aug. %. How much
ahead of train time must a Geor-
gian go to the station in order to
have his baggage checked? The
travelling men say fifteen min
utes is enough time to give rail
roads, even in cities of fifty thou
sand or over; but the railroads
insist that they need thirty min
utes leeway in the cities and that
they ought not to be forced to be
responsible for checking baggage
unless presented thirty minutes
before the train starts.
The railroad commission is go
ing to hear the point argued this
at the capital of the At
lanta Terminal Co. Travelling
men from various parts of the
state will protest that the pres
ent fifteen-minute rule is suffi-
cient.

scalp at night and morning, and In
four days the scalp was all healed, no
sign of crusts or scabs could be seen.

SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING BREEDING OF HOGS
Rousbass Important Pastors vvnterans
Brood Animals DO Not Thrive Well II Not
Given Sunlcient Quantity Scrub Hog
Is Not Profitable

He never gets rich selling pork. and
in fact II be depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better bred
hogs he would never own better ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner SO poor that he Is not able to
buy any better stock. In fact. this Is
the excuse usually given for his exist
ence. Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear com panions-
Both make a rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there Is not a
better evidence Of the general progress
siveness OF a people than the absence
of the scrub hog from community.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
selecting breeding swine from sound,
healthy parents Animals that are not
strong In constitution cannot with
stand disease as we'll as those which
are strong in that respect. In case
hogs are troubled with disease 1t is
almost impossible to give them medi-
cine or anything else that will prove
very helpful. About all we can do is
to feed a ration that can be easily d.
gested and keep them in clean quar-
ters, thoroughly disinfect the pens and
let the disease run its course.
Whole milk Is one of the best feeds
for hogs that are suffering with dis
ease of any kind. 1t Is an excellent
feed and has often been Of great as
sistance in bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought about by feeding
ration that is composed OF less than
two-thirds corn. 1t Is mistake to
think we cannot afford to buy other
feeds to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily 1t is mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months to
come. Failure here will impair the
usefulness of the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to IL
pounds Of meat, live weight, for each
bushel Of corn eaten, but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.

On each and every farm there should
be some provision made for dipping
hogs. This not only proves to be an
easy and effectual way of disinfecting
animals which are brought on the
farm, but 1t also keeps them free from
lice.
Possibly there is no other farm ami
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
Is an Improbable animal any way you
take him.
As an economical pork producer he
Is a failure. Even his ability to shift
for himself does not recommend him
to the people within the limit Of his
range as he has the reputation of prey
ing upon neighboring corn fields when
food Is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living since he is long
legged. narrow il the chest, has a
long, narrow snout. This adapts him
to his manner of living. With the
scrub hog it is root hog or de-" hence
the long snout..IIis narrow body aids
him in getting through small fence
cracks and If he fails to find place
large enough to go through the fence
he can soon dig under it with his long
snout.
There is no standard Of excellence
for the scrub hog since he may pos
sess almost any form except a beauti-
full one; he may be OF any color
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re-
sist disease better than the improved
breeds Of hogs. We very much
