HARD BATTLE FOR THE DOG
Sport kiiied the Big Bob Cat. hu, He Suffered Severely In the
 Combat.

After battle In which he came near meeting death himself. Sport. & me dium sized coach dog. the property of W Ii. Butterbaugh. 6 rancher living in Lemps Gulch. Idaho, killed bob cat that measured six feet from nose to tip of tail.
 The dog was terribly scratched and bitten and has not yet entirely recov. cred He was mauled By the long. sharp claws of the big cat and in some places the scratches are deep, dig ging clear to the bone. The cat would weigh half again as much as the dog. and lowered above him in height.
 Mir. Butterbaugh did not see the fight, but arrived on the scene short ly afte= the dog had killed the cat and found his faithful friend lying on the ground, unable to move. and scarcely living. It looked at the time like bad case, but he succeeded in nursing the animal back to life.
 For some days we had been miss ing chickens" MT. Butterbaugh said. "and l was unable to figure out what was killing them. I would get up in the morning and find one or two lying dead in the bsrnyard, still warm. and could not tell what sort of an animal was doing the mischief.
 But Sport figured 1t out, and one morning l heard him take out after something. I got up as soon as could and followed up the gulch, expecting that they would take that trail When l got there I found the dog lying on the ground and the big cat dead.
 The dog had chased him up there. but the cat had turned on him and shown fight. They must have fought there 15 minutes before the battle was settled. And from the looks of both the cat and the dog 1t must have been a terrible battle.'

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 Hanks. The farmer complained that his hogs were not eating well and he sores to break out.
 This bunch of hogs of all ages, from three-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.
 l 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 mals before.
 Many farmers do not realize that lice are 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.
 It 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 talk en to keep the solution very weak the animals will blister If allowed to run in the hot sun after being sprayed.
 When a bunch of hogs is badly in- fested the animals should be dipped, although spraying may be used. pro- vided the hogs are tied and thrown 50 that the spray may cover every portion of the body. It is no use to

Artificial Sponge.

An artificial sponge, the outcome oi German ingenuity, is now to be had according to the Scientific American The process of making 1t consists principally in the action of zinc chloride on pure cellulose. This re suits in a pasty, viscous mass, which Is mixed with coarsely grained rock salt
 Placed in a press mold armed with pins the mass is pierced through and through until 1t appears traversed by a multitude of tiny canals, like the pores of a natural sponge. The ex cess of salts is subsequently removed by prolonged washing in weak al coholic solution The artificial sponge swells up with water but hardens on drying, just like it's prototype; it is said to be eminently adapted for fil tering water for sanitary or industrial uses and it can be employed for all the purposes that are usually assign ed to the genuine article.

PROTEST MADE
 AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should be Expected to Tolerate Band of Trespassers Every
 Fall.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM


 A few years ago, when the pioneers along the line commenced to object 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 a 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 im- 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 ap- plicable with peculiar force. Sheep. worried by hunter and dogs, soon be- come so wild that not even the owner can approach them readily.
 Cattle have been known to stam- peed when a gun was fired in close proximity. Such treatment is ruinous to the dairyman, to say nothing of the freuuent accidents, when a valuable animal is sacrificed, the hunter mak- ing off 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 1t is really the farmers friend. The quail, the clear note of which fills all bird low CTS with joy, Is one of the best insect and weed destroyers.
 A flock of quail in the potato patch renders the use of Paris green un- necessary, and the detested cut-worm is their favorite dessert
 The farmer feeds the world" but there is no reason why he should be expected to tolerate band of tres passers every fall, endangering the life of his possessions. In many com munities farmers are banding togeth- CT against the hunting nuisance.

Ancient Roman Long Branch.

The sea coast of Laurentum may have been in favor with the fashion able and the wealthy for a brief space of time under Augustus and his immediate successors, but was given up quite soon to parvenues and mer- chants and retired officers, and the same set of noisy people who haunt at the present day the popular watering places of the world. To make the analogy more striking, an inscription has been found at La Capocotta sing ing the praises of wealthy Jew, and revealing the fact that synagogue had been built at Ostia for the use of the Semitic "villeggianti" on the neighboring coast.

DODGE THE POSTAGE STAMP
Foreign Countries Devisns Schemes for Benefit of Large Users
 of the Mails.

Any man who can devise a praeti- cal substitute for the postage stamp will deserve the gratitude of every large business house in the world, and may earn a large fortune. For the labor of affixing stamps to their enor- nous mail necessitates in some firms the employment of a special clerical staff.
 In the postofflces of some countries steps in this direction have already been taken. Here, for instance, news papers and magazines are mailed by their publishers in bulk without stamps, and the postage Is paid in a lump sum os one cent a pound. Then, again. some firms that send out large quantities of circulars register them selves under a certain number at the postoffice, their envelopes are printed with this number and the circulars so mailed are paid for in bulk. In Ba- varia large consignments of letters may merely be postmarked by ma chinery and sent without stamps, the postage fee being paid in lump sum at the time of mailing. It is said that since February l. 1910, this system has saved the Bavarian postoffice the expense for paper and the printing cost for 10.000.000 stamps
 A writer in the Umschau, a Ger man publication, suggests further de- velopment of this system along the lines of a meter, like those used for water, gas and electricity, in which the letters would be placed and auto matically stamped with a postmark, the machine recording each letter so mailed These machines would be in- spected periodically and the bills col lected, just as are those of the con sumer of gas or water.

A Simple, but Satisfactory, Hoehouse.

] spray the upper part of a hog and leave the under side untouched. be- cause every louse will multiply and soon spread all over the animals 1 body.
 After the hogs have been dipped or sprayed they should be turned into a clean lot that has never been used for hogs and the old quarters should be abandoned. or if this is not practic- able, every particle of bedding and litter in the yards must be raked swept up and burned, and every foot of ground in the yards and the fences and sleeping quarters, as we'll thor oughly sprayed with a strong disin- fectant.
 Kerosene emulsion, which is cheap, can be used in this way to advantage.
 The hogs should not be returned to the old quarters for several weeks, and a second spraying or even third be- fore the hogs are turned in is ad- yisable
 If the hogs are allowed to occupy thC GUlAAC PCho anu cAOtGtAAD AuetA NSA H year after year, which are not ire quently cleaned and sprayed as above suggested, lice will surely get into the herd
 AS this parasite multiplies with tre- mendous rapidity it only takes a short time to thoroughly infest hogs so that their thrift will be impeded.
 The hog louse affects no other ami nal, but devotes his entire time and attention to the swine. While he Is quite tenacious in the efforts to live, still moderate application of dips and sprays and the burning of old bedding and whitewashing of the in- teriors of sleeping quarters will quick ly put him out of business.
