PerIque.

The most unique tobacco raised In
this country is perique, a product per
fected by an involved mothod OF
sweating and curing which was devel
oped by the Arcadians in st. James
parish, Louisiana.
When picked, the tobacco is
stemmed and rolled into loose twists
which are placed under pressure until
the juices are forced out and the
leaves become black and sticky. These
juices in the working are reabsorb
ed, and DURING this process rum is
blown into the mass.
It is finally stored to cure, and at
the end is of peculiar strength, with
characteristic aromatic odor It Is
used In cigarettes, pipe mixtures, and
for chewing, and some manufacturers
insert a few strands In cigars to give
them fragrance.
The perique district is confined to
a small section Of st. James parish,
on the east side Of the Mississippi riv.
er, The total production Of periQue
is only about 100000 pounds a year,
and there are about 90 perique manu-.
facturers registered IN the books OF

WRITING ON A SOFT PILLOW
Found Possible to Write LeeIbly and
With Comfort on Train Flying
at Top Speed.

Everyone who has had occasion to
write while riding In railway train
will be interested In the fact that the
disagreeable effects of the jarring Of
the carriage are greatly mitigated by
writing on pillow The pillow may
be either held on the lap or placed on
a table. The pad Of paper, and the
arm which guides the pen or pencil
should both rest on the pillow.
In this manner it will be found pos
sible to write legibly and with comfort
In train flying at full speed.
The explanation depends upon the
fact that the pillow tends to eQualize
the motion of the fast moving car
riage the pen is driven in every direc-
tion except the desired one, because
the constant jarring does not produce
the same motions simultaneously In
the table, or the knee, or hand and the
pen.
But the pillow, through it's great pill
ability and moderate degree of elastic
ity, not only deadens the shocks COM
municated from the carriage, but
brings the inevitable motions Of the
paper and the hand holding the pen In
to accord.

SOURCES OF HOG TROUBLES
Corn ls Productive Of Indigestion and
Dirt Breeds Dlsease--FurnIsh
Dry Quarters.

Hog troubles are due to too much
dirt and too much corn, says Kansas
Farmer. Corn is fat producer, but
not q muscle builder and an exclu-
sive corn diet during the growing Pc
riod not only falls to supply the ele-
ment needed by the animal. but is
productive of digestion troubles and
weaknesses in the system which in
vite disease.
Corn la good element In the ra-
ton of any hog at any time. There Is
nothing better, but 1t must be bal
anced by alfalfa, clover or some 9TH
or nitrogenous feed during the grow
ing periods of pigs and the breeding
periods of hogs. There is only one
period in the life of the hog when an
exclusive corn ration should be used.
and that is at the last end Of the fat
tening period OF market hogs.
There is not time In the life of a hog
when he should not have clean, dry

season, for you realize that silk suit
is absolutely necessary for demi-dress
occasions, and that cloth suit is
needed for morning and travelling
wear In other words, you are con-
fronted with the necessity of getting
two suits! Probably this may seem
