H0UGHTON
WILL BE INCORPORATED.
Directors OF ksweensw Historical So
ciety Decide on Step.

Steps have been taken by the di-
rectors of the Keweenaw Historical
society. Messrs. Charles Smith OF
Hubbell Il. :. Grierson of Calumet,
l.. A. Chase of Hancock. John T. Reed
ct and John A. Doelle of Houghton
t. have the society Incorporated. This
is done i'm order to give the society an
entity for the ownership of property
and to insure it's perpetuity. The di-
rectors find that many people have
historical material that they would be
pleased to put into the care of the as
sociation providing they could be con-
vinced that il is not an ephemeral or
ganization but one that will be per-
petual. The incorporation will give
the necessary assurance, the direct
ors believe.
Secretary Doelle reports the receipt
by the association of autographed
birdseye view of Houghton as il was
in 1872. IL is ON exhibition at the
Houghton public library.
Tentative arrangements have been
made COR an outing for the members OF
the society and their friends August
% was the date selected but this
probably will he changed as there is
conflicting event. The outing will
in any event be held at the old Cliff
mine and the officers OF the society will
invite there a number of old residents
Of the Cliff who can explain the his
tory lore of the former great mine
location.

Where hogs are fed on a farm,
a good practice, but little follow
ed, is to fence off a portion of
of the corn field with a Temporal
ry fence and let the hogs do the
harvesting of the crop. Unless
the fall is very wet, there is
scarcely any waste of grain and
it will be entirely satisfactory.
The stover, of course, will be
largely wasted, but the hogs will
even eat some of this before il
becomes too dry. The expense
of cutting and husking is avoid
ed, and the droppings of the ami.
mails are well distributed over
the fields. AS manure from hogs
fed in a lot or pen is usually
wasted, there is a decided advan-
tage from this standpoint.
If cowpeas or soy beans are
sown in the corn after the last
cultivation, an additional amount
of feed may be secured. Or il
rye is sown early in September
the young growth would prove 6
valuable addition to the corn diet
In reference to the temporary
fence, it is claimed by some thai
woven-wire fencing fastened t
the hills in a row of corn will
prove entirely effective in con
fining the hogs. Home and Farm
