lRv r. q. MISUNDERSTOOD

Not long ago in looking over a
bunch of hogs in western Illinois we
observed that most of the animals
were afflicted with little sores, red
spots, on the thin places in their
skins.
These eruptions were particularly
noticeable back of the ear and on the
TANKS. The farmer complained that
his hogs were not eating well and he
could not understand what caused the
sores to break out.
This bunch of hogs of all ages, from
hree-months-old pigs to three-year-old
sows, ran on a pasture during the
day but at night slept In houses which
were used for the winter quarters.
suggested that the trouble might
be caused by lice, and the farmer
caught two or three pigs and found
them almost alive with parasites. He
was astonished and admitted that he
had never examined one of his anil
mails before.
Many farmers do not realize that
lice are a source of tremendous loss
in the raising of hogs. They worry
the animals and prevent their feeding
well, and in many cases produce sores
or eruptions which naturally retard
growth.
1t is not difficult to rid the pig of
lice by dipping or spraying, but these
remedies are of no use unless the
pens and sleeping quarters are rid of
the lice as we'll.
The best dip to use is some OF the
tar solutions. as they are harmless.
We do not believe in kerosene emul-
sion because unless great care is TAX

animals will blister il allowed to run

vided the hogs are tied and thrown
so that the spray may cover every
portion of the body. 1t is no use to

PROTEST MADE
AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should
be Expected to Tolerate Band
of Trespassers Every
Fall.

A few years ago, when the pioreers
along the line commenced to objecl to
the depredations of the hunter, they
were charged by hunter and surround
ing farmers alike as stingy and un-
accommodating But more and more
is there growing sentiment against
having ones farm used as a hunting
ground
At this season it is very easy to
start a fire, very difficult to check one
that has once commenced. Even
though the majority of hunters are
careful never to toss aside a lighted
cigar, never to strike matches in inn
proper places, one never knows when
the careless one may come along and
do untold mischief.
There is the annoyance to stock.
The old saying, "One might as well
be killed as scared to DEATH" is APP
plicabie with peculiar force. Sheep,
worried by hunter and dogs, soon be-
come so wild that not even the owner
can approach them readily.
y Cattle have been known to stam-
peed when gun was fired in close
proximity. Such treatment is ruinous
to the dairyman, to say nothing of the
frequent accidents, when valuable
animal is sacrificed, the hunter max
ing OF with his game and leaving the
owner Of the land that much poorer
for his generosity.
Finally, the game is rapidly being
exterminated, and much of it is really

ute she had forgotten the rapt little
face of the child before her and was
living again in her romantic past,
which had been of so short duration
that it often seemed as mysterious
and unreal as dream.
That's grand, Miss Celia" The
child's voice brought her back to the
present. TITS mighty sad sounding,
though.
PLAY one jolly piece and make me
feel good. Miss Celia. Try that one
where leaves are dancing. 1t sounds
just like the leaves do out there on
the mountain when the wind blows. :"

they love to hear you play. Old Mr.

Betty's mother looked at the six
feet of splendid manhood.
AL right" she said quietly and
began to believe her husbands story
of Bob's love affair.
II haven't seen Miss Celia all day.
I wonder why she hasn't played any.
There, listen. Uncle Bob. that's my

Betty moved closer to her big un-

and laid her hand on his knee.

up to spread GOT her white skirts with

said he was silly to say such thing,

he could just take his choice if he
wanted any of them"
You never told me that his name

ting deeper than desired. Two thin
strips of wood of about the length o
the saw blade are fastened to a pair
of arms secured to block at the
upper end. A thumb screw below this
block may be frightened to clamp the
two strips against the blade of the
saw. These strips may be secured at
any desired point on the blade, and
thus provide an easily adjustable

must. Great quantities of white, and
black and white, pieces are designed
and are salable every season. A well
made fancy feather is a very salts

stand constant wear, there is nothing
to be preferred before them. They
stand wind and weather and many OF
them may even be successfully clean
ed with soap and water.
The making of feather pieces is a
great industry. All domestic fowls
and many wild ones contribute plum
age for this purpose. Feathers are
so changed by clipping, bleaching,
dyeing and by combination with other
feathers that only the expert can tell
what the original raw feathers
came from.

~ VERY season brings out many
things new and strange in fancy
feathers. As rule these feath-
er pieces are beautiful because
the feathers from which they are
made are beautiful, to start with, and
because the designers of feather trim

A successful piece means great de-
mand, which spells profit for the
manufacturer. Then, the variety and
beauty of the marRifGs I'm natural

which can be made in them by proc
